About new MSQ Roulette reward

[Coratanni]

I can never even get into the roulette, but despite how chill the parties are and the guaranteed level up, the 30 minute queue times during the late hours I can play wreck any chances I can get in.

What times are you queueing for it? Maybe I can help your queue times.

Roulette: Main Scenario

So basically Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium where the cutscenes are now unskippable since 4.2.

.....nope never heard of it.

Ran it on an alt recently, it was probably the first time I've seen the cutscenes since my actual first times I got into speedruns telling me to skip. At least the chat was decently entertaining, everyone commenting on how Cid won't shut up or how long is that lift - though it probably gets stale if you run it more often. Wait time wasn't optimistic, got in after about 40-45 mins as a dps. Rewards are pretty meh, won't be bothering if they don't change them unless I'm desperate, I'd rather run the 100 tomes dungeons repeatedly. What hit me most though is that the cutscenes don't finish at the same time for everyone (not even counting in load times), which makes the whole unskippable part pretty much useless. Some of the cutscenes were still running for me when arena got locked out, and in Prae I literally managed to load to land 2 hits on the final boss.

While your attitude is admirable, unless you (well and people like you) can help every single such person on the data center, it's misguided at best.
I've heard nothing but complaints as well, both about the queue time as well as the experience while inside from both roulette goers (who swore off the roulette after the time they complained about) as well as first timers (on alts or in general). And hearing more and more that the queue times shot up only further solidifies how bad an idea this was.

Nope still not worth it sadly.

It's an illusion and you're wrong. The xp granted is upped equivalent to the time put in. You're actually getting more xp per minute with the new bonuses vs the old rewards. It's been athematically proven umpteen times on other threads. Only difference is you have to make a bigger time commitment, but the xp more than equets for the time.

Between 1AM to 3AM EST on Aether Datacenter on weekdays. Everything is pretty slow around then, but that's when I get to play. I have bad times on Alliance roulettes, too.

Do you have discord? I can run them with you, if you want. I am doing the roulettes on my balmung character daily. Unlike some of the people in this thread, I am enjoying the change in attitude with everyone in the dungeons. I also haven't noticed a change in queue times from the last 2 years.

Last night I ran my 68 warrior through and got over 4 million experience for the roulette. My 66 bard got over 3.4m experience the other day. Since I have one character in all 70's and am getting everything to 70 on my 2nd main(I have 5 level 70's on this alt), I have run everything more than most people here.

Also my main is on your server.

Been doing the MSQ Roulette on a job I've been leveling for a few days now. Every single one has been Praetorium. It's enough to start discouraging me from doing the MSQ Roulette at all. I've heard Meridianum is nice and quick, about 30 minutes, but Praetorium feels about an hour longer.

At least I can look forward to the vague chance of getting a Nero Triad Card, I suppose. It's the only one I'm missing from the four Garleans of ARR.

If I needed to make a suggestion, Praetorium should yield a lot more in terms of rewards than it does now. Unfortunately I'm aware that's not possible to distinguish the two.
