    [Suggestion] Extreme Trial Roulette

    Hi everyone,

    I checked for the suggestion forum; only saw the one for website feedback.

    So I apologize if it's in the wrong section or if it was proposed before.. and got rejected?

    ok.

    When trying to use DF to get through Extreme Primals (Just barely done Garuda yesterday)

    The amount of time waiting is outrageous! Especially after a long time, to see that even if 3 said they were new (including me) my BF said it's a no-go after 15 mins, that we wouldn't clear it even after giving tips and guidance.. >.<

    SE, DEVs, can you please add an 'Extreme Trial Roulettes' with only those inside so the Trial roulette will stay with the Hard mode..

    Then with some bonus incentives, perhaps more will join and help us to clear them.

    And it will give a sense of renewal of old content, some I know don't even bother once they have their Kirin.. and we surely need them, as this was a progression group more than a completion one.. True my BF got 4 commends for Tanking and explaining the fight, still, with veterans that would mix more, chances to complete and not waste our time would be beneficial.

    Thank you for considering.

    This would be nice, but it would be a super wipefest almost every time.

    Folks have brought this up before. The main issue is, as folks have pointed out, the low chance of success. Even the older extremes have mechanics which, if not handled carefully, will wipe the party - and Duty Finder opens you to, frankly, any schmoe that wants in, regardless of whether they're capable of handling, or are even aware of the mechanics. Those schmoes often CAN learn the fights, but it may take several attempts. Without incentive to help during those initial, doomed attempts, folks will be leery about wasting their time.

    Under the current system, in which a player is rewarded only for the win, it is unlikely that folks would ever touch Extreme Roulette. For Extreme Roulette to work, players would need to be awarded based on willingness to stick it out. Give folks an award equal (or maybe even surpassing?) that of a victory, if they stay in the run until the 60 minute timer expires. (There would also need to be checks in place to make sure they actually participate; not just signing into the fight and then going afk for 60 minutes while they eat dinner, or whatever.)

    The reward would need to be pretty substantial, as well; folks could be doing a lot of other things with those 60 minutes, and the Roulette would need to account for that.

    I'd much rather just run them unsynced. Honestly wouldn't touch an Extreme Trial Roulette.

    The thought of getting Ramuh in an Extreme Roulette makes me cringe.
