The number of dungeons you can do with your Squadron will undoubtedly increase later on.
But signing up for specific dungeons will not give you the daily bonus you get for roulettes - so people will most likely keep running roulettes just as much (or little) as they have done in the past.

This is an mmo - it's meant to be played with your fellow players - not some automated bunch of npc bots.

im really hyped for this and i dont see much problem at all oAo it's up to their playstyle if they want to play solo or not..
can't deny that players will try it when it's up but not like everyone gonna go hermit and dont communicate anymore...lol

people has their own purpose...can't just say that MMO is only meant to be played with fellow players all the time.
ofc MMO = online game...but are you saying that people who want solo shouldnt play it?
some play for story and some play because they're bored and need something to occupy.
also it will be a good change of pace when you dont want social and just want to be alone at the time.

i do have FC mates and friends to run contents with but sometime i want to run alone and DF is just like "hi" "tyfp" anyway
it's not like i need to make friends with all the players i met...

It's for your Grand Company Squadron ONLY. It doesn't affect your own character's leveling, but just your Squadron members with exp and leveling.

Yes becuase MMOs mean you should be forced to team with other players for every moment of your game experience, especially since this game does that for most of the MSQ- oh wait most of it is solo instances..

On another note I'm liking the class buffs and QoL changes.

It'd actually make sense if Squadrons were even useful for MSQ...but they're not. It's for dungeons you've already done and out leveled. I kinda expected this to be their Prae/Castrum solution they hinted at for 4.1....

Finally someone who noticed it, lol

Even assuming a player somehow could grind their way to Second Lieutenant without going level 50+, Wanderer's Palace is the one single dungeon (atleast in the initial wave) you're not gonna be outleveled for, since Second Lieutenant requires a Aurum Vale clear, and Aurum Vale is 47-49

Even then, if the devs feel like they want to ensure people dont "solo" the game through the Adventurer Squadron, a extremely easy solution would be to just require that you already cleared the dungeon before you can run it with your squad

That's already a requirement....

Edit: I lied. '* Players must have unlocked these dungeons prior to entering on command missions.'

It does still seem like it could be leading to a Prae/Castrum solution. It's not really that surprising that the first wave has dungeons with relatively simple mechanics for them to teach their squad AI. But once they have this working, they'll be adding more dungeons, and hopefully we'll get Castrum and Praetorium then.
