Thread: Level 60 Roulette in 3.2

Can you please add the Aetherochemical Research Facility to Level 60 Roulette, in addition to Saint Mocianne's Arboretum and Pharos Sirius (Hard)?

Anything to help reduce the chance of Neverreap, I'd be okay with.

I'll still probably get it every day anyway, because RNG hates me, just like I always get Keeper of the Lake when I take my BLM to Level 50 Roulette.

I'd love to have Research Facility added to 60 roulette. I really enjoyed the dungeon, and lots of my new FC mates are just getting to that point in the story and have huge queue times for it. Having it as an option in 60, or even Main Scenario would really help with queue times and give me a reason to experience this awesome dungeon more than once a month at most.

Given how much I hate Fractals, Pharos Hard, and Arboretum hard -> I'd be happy with a Neverreap roulette.

That said, Aetherochemical Research Facility is the best dungeon in the expansion, I'd love this added to the roulette!

I loved Aetherochem. It was incredible and I've only run it the one time.

The reason why it's not in a roulette is because it's the "end-of-story" dungeon for 3.0, the lore equivalent of Castrum Meridianium. And vets running roulettes for tomes were ruining the experience for the first-time players.

It's sad really, because SE totally missed the problem and threw the baby out with the bathwater. The problem with CM was the amount of cutscenes in the instance. If they made it possible to fully enjoy the dungeon while simultaneously completing it in a reasonable amount of time, there would be no tension between those playing for the first time and those grinding tomes. But in order to keep the farmers out, they removed loot and excluded it from roulettes so there was absolutely zero incentive to run it again. They also made it a four-man, presumably because the problems with eight-man dungeons CM and Prae, but again, it wasn't having eight players that was the problem (although if you're going to make it impossible to queue for it, it was probably a good call). I actually liked having a long, large raid with eight people.

It easily has the BEST LEVEL DESIGN in the EXPACK. And nobody ever plays it.

On the flip side, it was totally cool running a dungeon with four people who had never set foot in it before.

I love the Arboretum but Futurama is forever stuck in my head during a certain part.

Kaitlan essentially summed it up. It's nowhere near the levels of CM and Prae with cutscenes, but it's one of the heavier instances. Right now with a decent amount of people still running that dungeon and people still wanting to go back and do it, the wait times are tolerable, but one day, that is going to change. We'll need it in a roulette or *something* eventually, or else it'll reach wait times of what Cape Westwind used to be.

I'd rather see them use 3.2 to add that dungeon to the Story DR, actually. Give the DR a decent chunk of Esoterics (yes, the LOWER of the two tomestones) if 60+ to go with the Poetics the DR already provides.

I'm fine with this too. Honestly, it could reasonably belong in either of the two roulettes. What I object to is the fact that it is not in either.
