Marriage Roulette

[Breezelyn]

I honestly see no problem with a roulette like this. However, if you queue with randoms (say the couple is the tank/healer duo), people expect everyone to know what they are doing, and/or have a basic grasp on how your job works by the time you hit endgame. The only problem(s) I see are: When healer isn't actually doing a good job of keeping people alive; Tank isn't trying to keep hate up... (Yes, I've ran into couples like these in expert and level 60 the last few weeks when I'm queued as Bard). I voice my concerns (in a polite manner) saying something about trying to be better. I got kicked once saying something in a civil manner, because the healer was so, so bad. I attempted to give advice to this person, and I got kicked, because of the majority vote of vote kick, and them being a couple and such. That is the only issue I see with couples queued together in dungeons (not saying everyone is like this. I've ran with a bunch of couples that were awesome sauce).

There'll always be bad and good sides to a topic. I just wanted to leave my opinion about this topic here. Please don't take offense to it. ; ;

No offence, your point is good. However, it's Duty Finder: you cannot expect anyone else to be like you (as you might be super-skilled even with Wanderer's Minuet on )

So even if they are good, 3 different people might judge you and votekick you, couple or not.

Moreso if you are polite and give suggestions that, they don't want to read or don't care or are playing on PS4 without a Keyboard or are Japanese that don't understand English ^^ (weird, with Japanese people, they seem to want to get the job done, even with wipes, versus NA where everyone seems on the verge, as if the game will stop and crash if they wipe once lol)

If you see that everyone is doing at least what they should (Tank - getting aggro, Healers: Heals first, then DPS if she wants (I do because it's boring otherwise, but I won't max my DPS with someone 3rd App, we don't care about this crap) and DPS - Avoid everything first, then DPS. (a dead DPS ain't giving any numbers)

I think everyone in the game, new or not, know what each roles pertain, but you cannot force anyone to do it, if they don't want to or just trolling because they are bored doing the same stuff for ages.

And consider this: my BF is playing since Beta: I just started the game, leveling up to 60, doing all dungeons as soon as they were available, but only doing them once, in order to catch up to HW. So, I know my role, I make sure we get through, I can fail to an AoE or mechanic, and I'm sure I'm not the only 'noob' here.

Veterans need to cut some slack to us, as it might be because of us that this game has some refresh with new subscribers

We enjoy the game, it's new and flashy, versus my BF, 2 years, 3.0 almost the rehash of 2.0, so he's been there, done that, but when he looks at me having fun, that helps him with his boredom.

Point is this: no matter who you're linked with, it's how you get along that makes it or break it.

So far, we encountered some DPS, even couples, that were new to their jobs (we are ok with this) but.. couldn't even Dodge anything!!

Can't wait to see Yoshi's New Beginner's Hall; should help everyone, new and old, into new classes/jobs, or perhaps to perfect themselves!

If you think this game as a game (to have fun, alone or with peeps) then the numbers and taking 5 mins longer to complete an instance shouldn't matter.

Sure, we won't do as many instance that day: but we had fun, and tomorrow another day!

Have fun in the game, with whoever you're with! ^^

EDIT: I just checked your profile, and you seem to be a Grandmaster of Magic! Kudos ^^

Lots of people might play this game with only one Job to the max, get into Raids, and think they are good. Sure, with their Jobs they are, no question. But in my opinion, they lack the experience from all the other jobs to make valid points and understand how the other roles are played (of course everyone knows a bit about other roles, but not as much as playing them, mind you ^^)

So yeah, if you play as BRD, and say politely that you main healer and could provide some tips, and you don't mind the wipes in order to help improve one person, that later would become better for it, and then helping the community... if you are kicked, it won't be by us for sure!

I'm glad to see you are leveling DRK (My BF's Favorite Tank with PLD ^^ - but I find him sooo squishy to heal, my benediction always ready for his Zombie-Mode lol)

Keep up the good work!
