[Dev request] Job roulette

[YGSLlew]

well, let's be honest. This whole attribute-point system for level up is not more than a good-for-nothing proxy system to give a "I have a choice!" feeling. Nothing more. It's worthless for all classes, given the numbers in your attributes, you reach at lv 60 anyway.

i actually did the calculations before the expansion of where to place tge arcanist stats. I'm on my phone now or id post the thread it was in, but the short of it is at 50 Int was the better choice, at 60 now probably mind is better. Though as most people say the difference is minor. and if you dont play the job no complaining, those who play it know how to adjust to the differences.

This would be awesome, actually. Personally, when I can't decide which job to go as, I assign number ranges for them and do /random, but... that's fine when I only have two or three jobs. When you have, say, 8 or 13, it gets a lot trickier to do that with /random ^^;

Well now that I just realized it, what dungeons and trials cover this job roulette? Every roulette seems to fill some sort of niche, but I don't see this one filling in anything.

Like has been said, this isn't about a roulette akin to the instance roulettes. It's a roulette similar to "mount roulette" or "minion roulette" -- basically, hit a key/hotbar icon, and you get assigned a random gearset.
(Could be tricky if you have all crafters and gatherers, of course xD but then you'd just have to re-roulette it, no?)

So your saying it was pointless for them to make a mount roulette and then a flying mount roulette? Also Heavensward has been out for some time now. If it was released like a month ago I would completely agree with you, but at this point wouldn't people have more then 2 lvl 60 characters? On top of that the devs makes it easy to play catch up, so it's possible to make it to i200 in a very short period of time.

Mount and minion roulette are completely aesthetic. Playing different classes isn't.

Also, I assumed you meant a leveling roulette. A level 60 job roulette seems even more pointless, as the reward is no different regardless, and you wouldn't even be getting exp.

Again, if you really want to randomise your jobs just do it yourself. It just seems a waste of development time for something so trivial.

Someone already said it, but assign Job 1 a number range 1-10, Job 2 11-20, Job 3 21-30, etc. and use /random. Make your number range as wide or narrow as necessary to accommodate how many different jobs you have available. So for example you have 8 ready to go....100/8 = 12.5 so Job 1 1-13, Job 2 14-26, Job 3 27-39, etc. do /random if you get, for example 33 then you would play Job 3. /random FTW!

Alright, I'll give this a try.

I feel the biggest issue would be having it choose things that don't meet the content you want to queue for. For example, maybe you have just got your BRD to 60 and it's only ilvl 160, and so you can't queue that in for expert roulette. It gets even worse if you include sub 60 stuff.

I'd recommend just using an online tool like this, http://www.mauvecloud.net/randomchooser.html

Alright, I'll give this a try.

You can even rename your gear sets to align with your numbering scheme. i.e. WHM 1-13, BLM 14-26...
