Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Tridus]

If people can't have a satisfactory experience playing the MSQ roulette, guess what happens? People will stop queueing that roulette.

Care to explain how the sprouts will DF those MSQ roulette dungeons once no one bothers doing the roulette anymore?

Patch has been out nearly two weeks now. Still waiting for it to happen. Until it does, it's working as intended. At some point, you need to stop predicting doom and show that there's a real problem.

They're upping the awards on the roulette. I'd say we got our proof.

Not really. That could also show they're sick of listening to people complain about it and are throwing some candy out to make the complaints go away. We don't know what they're adding, it could just be more XP to make the time you spend in there productive on par with other roulettes.

People are still predicting massive queue times where newbies can't get it done, and that hasn't happened. At this point, predictions don't mean anything.

People have complained longer and harder about much more crucial things that haven't been changed. Also you can't really say 'queue times haven't seen a hit' when you only have your own personal experience while SE has all the numbers.

I hope it's something meaningful. A significant chunk of the most relevant tomes, for instance as well a high chance of receiving the orchestrion rolls for the tracks that play in each dungeon that have yet to be added. Given that most of the run is likely to be spent tabbing out and waiting for the cutscenes to advance I'm not entirely opposed to queuing up but my time is valuable.

If they really wanted to go all out they could add new stuff over time. Gaius, Livia and Ultima Weapon minions, perhaps?

Dear SE:

My suggestion to you guys is to make the MSQ dungeons as "solo-instances". That way new players can see the cutscenes, and fight the bosses with the msq characters to make the ending more enjoyable for them. Better yet, allow squadrons to be available to newbies in those dungeons to make the fights easier.

Second Suggestion: Just kill off MSQ roulette. No one wants to watch the same 2 episodes of MSQ over and over and over again. Unless people have a ***ish for re-runs of tv shows they won't do this roulette again.

Third Suggestion: Make the rewards worth doing the roulette for. Current rewards is meh and not worth wasting 45+ mins (plus the added wait time via queue especially for dps ppl) to finish this roulette.

Or you could just not do them if they're so offensive to you.

Queue'd for it last night on my 61 warrior and had an instant pop. I had forgotten alot of the cutscenes as it had been a couple of years. Everything went smoothly with the group and I got over 1m experience for the roulette. I didnt keep track of the induty experience. As long as I have time I'll keep adding it to my roulette list of things to run.

Have fun watching the same cutscenes over and over again. The exp gain just isn't worth going through that torture of being forced to see the same cutscenes everyday. You can get relatively the same if not more exp from doing alliance raid roulette.

As a long time player, it doesn't bother me. It is an optional roulette, and stress free as a duty for easy experience. And I already run alliance roulette, just not on my tanks.

If you don't like the changes, don't run it. Problem solved. I will continue running it. See how easy that is?
