Marriage Roulette

[EnoraTaqa]

Hello all,

I am playing this game with my significant other.

Seems this game is leaning towards Soloers.

I am not talking about always asking our friends to unite at the same available time than us, which can vary.

Question: Would the DEV mind to install either:

Roulettes that we can Duo?

or a 'Marriage' roulette for those that are bond together?

That would make our day, because it's really frustrating to play side-by-side and then having to enter our Daily Roulette.. separately except for lvl 50, 60 and Expert.

The leveling and Main Scenario, Guildhest and Trial would be very nice to login together.

There's plenty of free space for others to join us.

Remember, I'm not talking about creating my own party on PF or to select specific dungeons.

The Roulette is what drives us with our limited time to play each day or so.

As well: When will you open up the Grand Companies so that we can play with mercenaries, or to get rid of excessive stuff to exchange for seals?

Thank you for considering.

EDIT: After reading all the post in here, some bitter, some welcoming: I find it weird that as an MMO, we are doing the Main Scenario quest, alone.

I accept it, but doesn't mean I like it. Would be awesome to do it with FC comrades, Friends, anyone..

So to move forward, I want the DEVs to look at it this way: DUO Roulette, or enabling all roulettes to be done with a partner.

Could be a friend, someone in LS, or someone posting on Party Finder that he would like help to complete X Instance.

So we could make a party of 2, and then go, and perhaps being joined by another party of two, then 2 people helping 2 others.

For those that answered that Roulettes are there to help others, hence why you go in solo-mode: I don't know about you, but in our case, most of the time when we go into leveling roulette, there's baraly 1 new member at any time, which means that 4 lvl 60 could be joined together. Where's the 'HELP' in that? I ask you ^^

------------------------------

I would like to see this feature in, but only for 8 player content roulettes.

So a system where you can sign up for Trial Roulette/Frontline Roulette/Main Scenario Roulette with the person you are eternally bonded with. Can't do it with anyone else, has to be someone you are eternally bonded with.

I don't think it's that bad to be 2 people playing together with a group of 8 randoms if they are eternally bonded characters.

Ty, and yeah we are all for anything new, new way to do roulettes, 8-man roulettes, I just want SE to do something! ^^ Nice Suggestion.

I may get some flack, but I really dislike people who *must* play with a specific person for everything. You're a far worse player for doing that, not in a community sense but a personal sense. Playing with randoms teaches adaptation and gets you used to having to think on your feet.

Met far too many who say they're an amazing healer/tank...but only with their tank/healer partner; anyone else and they become a complete noob at their role.

There's also something unhealthy about always needing to play with a specific person, so much that not being with them causes distress.

Tank/healer married couples are oh so common.
It hurts me because I'm a tank and my wife is a healer... but like, we know what we're doing. But my words are worthless now! ORZ

I completely agree. My partner and I live together in the real world and our characters are bonded in-game. Yet we often go off and do our own thing. Why? Because it's healthy - and interacting with people other than one's significant other is important. In my experience - and I mean no offence by this - players who absolutely must do everything with somebody else are generally very clingy and prone to drama.

You guys are making some massive generalizations here about couples playing this game together...it's kind of ridiculous to throw everyone into one pot.

You know nothing about OP's relationship yet you declare they always "must" want to play with each other just because they asked to do some roulettes together. Also saying people who constantly play together are automatically worse players....like I don't get where people make this stuff up from.

Unhealthy? The only unhealthy thing is the fact you guys are putting down fellow players for being in a relationship where they enjoy playing with each other. You have no basis for telling other people when too much time together is too much. You are not their therapists and you don't know their life or even remotely who they are since this is the internet.

My boyfriend and I spend time together on this game, and we also spend a lot of time doing our own thing. We don't like all the same content so I do stuff on my own a lot. He does stuff on his own that I don't like as much. Sometimes I do stuff with him that he enjoys even if I don't care for it just to spend some extra time and vice versa.

But you know what? Even I have thought at some points I wish I could queue together with BF today. All the time? Likely not, I don't even do the roulettes on a consistent basis and neither does he.

Will SE do it? I don't know. It isn't a deal breaker for me so I don't really mind either way, but these responses were pretty rude if you ask me (like calling people clingy, and worse players; those things add nothing to the discussion).

You cannot just make tons of generalizations about couples or say your own relationship is the only way it works. Everyone is different, our lives are all different, our relationships are all different.

Ty, that's exactly it ^^ /wipes tears

Thank you for saying no offence, as none is taken ^^ and hopefully my post will be viewed as such.

You have to think outside the box (monitor) - When 2 people work (real work, no mamas and papas paying for you) that takes a huge chuck of time away. Add Kids, even less.

We have lots of activities beyond this game (now that's HEALTHY!) We just started Kendo yesterday, and it was a Blast!

Ok on topic.

So when my BF purchased this game, it was for both of us to enjoy a good time together, and then sometimes he plays alone, sometimes it's me, to catch up to him since he plays since Beta ^^

The drama comes in many ways, no need for a game, but add people who play who are alone and never got to see the sun outside, somes are prone to be acting like Divas or DramaQueens..

So yeah, it's not that everyone MUST absolutely do everything with their lover. Missed the point.

I proposed to ADD more Roulettes! And since they can allow more than one to do some of the Roulettes already, the programmed module for it to allow more roulette and being unlocked is created already.

And we have FC/LS/Friends in the game when we want to chat, or to complete dungeon runs because we got paired with Randoms who were not able to help us complete the instance for whatever reason.

So hope it's clearer. To ADD more Roulettes, or unlock those.

Oh! and what everyone will say when they'll unlock GC Ranks? We will be able to Hire mercenaries.. so us 2 + 2 mercenairies, lot's of people will cry that they don't have us to help clear what they want thereafter.

So it seems obvious that they can do it.

I leave it up to them to decice if they should.

Just like any other suggestion in the game, like Glamour this and that. (QoL they say, can't live without glam - now that's healthy lol)

lol yes i'm so bad as a person /commits the unthinkable..

Seriously.. roulette calls for Random players.


So instead of making our own parties.. we go to help others (roulette rewards was intended for it.)

Unless it's endgame content, I don't really care if I'm good, bad with my skills: I don't need you to judge me, you are only one person.

Amazing, Noob.. it's Inside the game is where we are judged and by doing roulettes, we are helping everyone.

We complete every task given: we are noob, or amazing? You want us to do 10 more DPS to be AWESOME, the BEST there is?

You might have to re-queue if we find you in our group, because you and others that think alike, don't get into PuGs. Where the REAL adaptation is.

Coping with people with bad attitude (met so many, wonders where you stand after the salt)

Don't tell me you're the type that gets mad when the group fails once, twice, and have to use the shortcut and walk/run to proceed?

It happens, and it's part of the game.

Maybe we should ask SE to make different servers: Casuals, Midcore, Hardcore, and Elites. (You would be in a shock where we could land )

VA, Trials, Dungeons, we do everything as PUGs except we haven't tried Alex yet. (so you're trying to teach me to adapt? lol I guess you don't allow people to watch Cutscenes. (we do.)

Just like King Canadane, where I'm a healer and he's the Tank. (and soon to reverse roles, I want to try Tanking )

Guess the commendations we receive proves we are so bad as people..

then I will reverse the situation for you: you are bad, because you only want to play your way, Guess you are a speed runner and using a third apps to check to damage.

Guess what again: we don't care, we are there to have fun, those long dungeons where every Tank leaves as soon as they get in, we do them.

I am doing a roulette, tank leaves, the 2 DPS are disappointed because they waited 30 mins and now have to either dismiss or wait again..

I ask my BF, he tries to join in progress..

Tell me, where exactly in this, that we are BAD PEOPLE?

Don't be jealous because you might be alone playing. SE here has the chance to have 2 Accounts paid since beta.

The game is stalling since 3.0 and this game's graphic and theme is wonderful. Praytell they won't do another 3.0 with 4.0..

Else your Hardcore/Solo view will take a hit.

Hope for you you have real friends, because virtual friends only (if ever).. there's something unhealthy about it, don't feel too distressed.

Playing with the painfully idiotic lemmings in Duty Finder doesn't make you a better player, it just makes you a better babysitter, especially as a healer.
