Thread: 1.0 player says "Expert Roulette" is a brick wall

I call big whoop.

Hey you get it!

You dont agree maybe, but you get it!

Thanks, even if someone doesnt agree, I can at least appreciate not having to re-explain it over and over and over to everyone. Its like doing expert roulette! LOL.

(by the way, I liked the persons quote you quoted because they too understood. Dont agree, but understood.

The best responses are ones that understand that expert roulette is repetitive, and offered a suggestion to Squre-Enix to add variety, or offered me a suggestion to capping tomes in another way. You didnt offer either, but at least you got it.

And what sense does it make if the old content gives new content rewards? Whats next, 250+ Gear in WoD? I honestly see no reason to give out new stuff in old content and its not that old content doesn't get played anymore.

For capping the tomes you don't have to go in expert a single time.

Leveling roulette gives 5 scripture. Should they take it out then?

Leveling in a synced party in sastasha level 15 dungeon gives a level 51 player experience points. Should they take it out then?



The "sense" is to enhance gameplay, by allowing you to accomplish more than 1 task at a time. Especially one so boring and repetitive as to capping tomes.

Tomes are literally the same as experience points after you are done leveling. Literally the exact same thing. There is even a thing called a "item level" that you "level up" once you hit the temporary "max level."

(this is actually funny to me, because people were *so* against the leveling fatigue in 1.0, but here backing up the tome weekly cap.

Personally I would like the opposite. I'd like to be restricted to how much I can level, but unrestricted in how many classes I can gear up.
Better yet, 1.19 version of neither being restricted.

This is completely different, although I wouldnt be against it. Because honestly, if you get a new player who is less experienced, would you rather them be less experience and undergeared, or just less experienced? Experience only comes with time, but tomes could come from everything!

Try not playing during peak times, or telling all the people who cant find parties or friends this.

to my understanding, the fastest quickest way to cap tomes is a daily expert roulette.

If i'm wrong please correct me.

To cap your tomes you would have to go 4-5 times expert, yes but only if you get the expert bonus, what means it takes 4-5 days. If you do the other stuff like 24 man raid, alex normal, pvp and maybe some primal farm for mounts and/or weapons you cap them also without entering expert a single time, depending on the time you play of course. What means that you don't have to do the whole 2 dungeon all the time shit and these 2 dungeons are not getting boring that fast.

And no the tomes can stay in the leveling roulette since it is to keep players in low level dungeons that lowis get faster ques. There is no reason to put them into the dungeons themselfs.

What use would it have if someone gets the lategame gear in a lower dungeon? They couldn't wear it and have enough ways to get gear when they reach 60 anyway.

If you are not playing between 11 am and 12 am, you will probably not get entry anyway. Between these hours you'll get usualy entry for almost everything.
