Thread: 4.1 Adventurer Squadron Updates

Well iirc in the live letter not every dungeon will be available for squadrons and 61 to 70 won't be playable at all. Plus trials and raids exist. So I don't really see the issue. It'll help dps queue times somewhat I imagine and since not every dungeon is available people will still have to queue for some.

BTW this mechanic has been planned since squadrons were released so it should've been expected.

Maybe if I go with my squadron into dungeons theyd learn and fail missions less........

Wait, who am I kidding.....

But seriously though, an NPC AI will never compare to an actual player. (Look at those NPC's in instances...) I think it'd be a lot of fun when friends arent on or youre just looking to pass the time.

I doubt theyd let them be used in raids and trials. however I can see them being used in low level dungeons and/or potd. More than likely it'll be specific. But until more details are released on exact details, everything else we can only wonder about.

Likelihood is next to none for roulettes and probably not for a long time on unsync'd raids/trials. You gotta keep in mind we're talking about the devs who are extremely hesitant about the idea of soloing in general. It's the exact reason why we have to conform to holy trinity setups (unless you pre-made a full party for the content involved), why nerfs to jobs like SMN and their pet tanks are so harsh, and why we cannot undersize current content without manipulating the system unnecessarily. We can't even undersize 24-man raids (I think).

It would not surprise me if they hit us with the first 3 low level dungeons as the only accessible Squadron areas. Then by the end of SB, we'd at best be able to bring them to the end of ARR MSQ dungeons. A rather lackluster thought if that were true, given the pace of such dungeon access release, but the devs aren't exactly well-known for proper execution of new, yet very simple, ideas. See Diadem and The Hunt for just a couple references.

It's more likely that they start with level 50 dungeons right away. Your squadron is already level 50 and to even have squadrons you need to have done Aurum Vale.

I don't see a point in running Sastasha with the Squadron...
people do it once for the first time (no squadrons available) and then maybe with another job. But most likely not even that, because leveling in that level range (15-20) is damn frickin fast.
Also I guess it's easier to have the squadron have a fix ammount of skills/abilities instead of programming different behaviour for every level step until 50.

I guess this feature will be more connected with the squadron system itself (doing a weekly/daily limited ammount of 'quests' or at least limited in regards to rewards) and not like the 'unsynch feature' something you activate and just do a dungeon with that feature.
