Minimum Ilvl Roulette

[Ghishlain]

It's the same old and worn interview often used in healer DPS debates, I bet you stumbled over it at some point.

It's not 100% explicit, but it's easy to infer that he means "lower than the one assumed during development" in the last part, since an item level lower than is required to enter in the first place makes no sense, as that would mean you cannot enter. And since the two are explicitly different, that can only mean the assumed item level is higher than the minimum to enter. Which in turn also means healer DPS can be required to beat it. It's been chewed over numerous times.

Thanks for this. Yeah, I have read it in the past but must've missed that little bit regarding that difference. It's nice to see actually. I may just go through this translation again since it's fuzzy in my brain and would be fun to see the thought process of the developers at the time.

One problem with doing content at lower gear is also the avaliable skills. Job are based around having all their max lv toolkit. Especially the dps,m I would say. I would love being able to do coil with a synced ilv and level as long as I have access to all my tools.

I would like this feature.

This is actually a brilliant idea! They would need to give it worthwhile rewards though to convince people to do it.

This is where players start sac pulling the tank again.

The thing is : the "minimum item level" option of the duty finder isn't compatible with random group...

That means that people who would select "minimum item level roulette" could only be matched with people who would also select the same roulette, and not with people who would have selected a specific dungeon.
So sadly, I'm not sure it could really work well...

However I really would like to see at least some minor rewards for playing in minimum item level, like some achievements, titles, or cosmetic gear.
That could still motivate some more people to try (and appreciate) the challenge.

Ironically, the devs have once stated that the item level they assume during the development of content is different than the minimum item level to enter it and from context it can be derived that they design it with a higher item level in mind than is needed to enter.

This is why we have undergeared tanks wearing stuff like non-augmented Shire gear and going in to SB duties such Bardems or Doma Castle and either surviving by a minor thread or dying at every pull.

I would hope that SE fix the minimum ilvl requirement for MSQ duties first before adding a separate roulette for everyone else to enjoy the challenge.
