Wonderous Tails Variety

[aesteval]

So we're entering week 4 of Wonderous Tails and I have an observation. This is also week 4 of having Labryinth of the Ancients in my Wonderous Tails. I hear stories of players seeing Syrcus Tower or World of Darkness, but RNG keeps giving me Labyrinth of the Ancients. PLEASE STOP RNG. I'd much rather see Syrcus Tower every week, LotA week after week is getting old.

Also: has anyone seen the Hildebrande trials come up in Wonderous Tails? That would be awesome to have pop in.

I've got even better one on variety. My week 2 book was duty for duty exactly the same as my week 1 book.

Though the rest seem to be varying.

My weeks 1 and 2 were the same. I think my weeks 3 and 4 are also the same. I picked up a little bit of variety. Just a little. I think we need more.

Pretty sure the only trials that show up in Wondrous Tails are the Ex-level trials (Ex primals and stuff like Urth's Fount and Ultima's Bane). Casual trials like the ones from Hildebrand will never make an appearance, as they get plenty of coverage already from Trial Roulette.

Wondrous Tails is trying to funnel people into trials and raids that they normally wouldn't bother with, to help fill parties.

But we have Weeping City in Wonderous Tails. Do we really need the current 24p raid in there? Aren't there enough people queueing for it?

Hildebrande trials also depend on players having unlocked them. Even though they're a party of trial roulette, trying to queue into them can be excessively long at times.

The Hildibrand trials are also part of mentor roulette (well, EVERYTHING is part of that.) I've landed Battle on the Big Bridge/Big Keep that more than a few times in mentor roulette.

Back to OP, I agree - I've had frickin Good King Moogle Mog EX on every single Wondrous Tales book I've gotten. We did it once since a FC member needed a clear, but it really is the worst of the ex primal fights to do since it's almost harder unsynced.

I haven't done a 24 man for wondrous tails once without even using second chance points, if you don't like labyrinth then don't do it.

It's really not that bad, just don't DoT things and even if you kill a moogle early you should have more than enough dps to kill the king at the end.

The only really weird/difficult EX primals are ifrit and leviathan. Doing those unsynced makes me so scared.

It seems to be that the slots are filled with a very limited amount of variation...

Top Row is always the dungeons
2nd Row is always lvl 50 24-man, lvl 60 24-man, Random Alexander Gordias/Midas, Random PotD floors
3rd Row, Garuda/Titan/Ifrit Ex, Mog/Levi Ex, Shiva/Ramuh Ex, Odin/Ultima
4th Row, Bismarck/Ravana Ex, Coil 1-5, Coil 6-13, PvP

Way to completely miss the point. /thumbsup

*random PotD floors or Aquapolis. I've had Aquapolis in there twice.
