i don't get why a lv 70 gets poetics as a reward, what can i use them for at 70 there is no incentive for maxed players to que and help the newer people complete it.

I dont mind allowing them to watch cut scenes but the least they could do is provide proper incentives.

not worth the time

I was about to run this today, a bit for curiosity a bit for masochism, then I remembered what happens when I run a dungeon with cutscenes I can't autoskip. It takes the game several seconds or even minutes to load me IN the cutscenes and the same amount to load me out of it. So with unskippable cutscenes I'd actually be the one left behind, so not only you take forever, have to sit through cutscenes you've seen till nausea, get hardly any reward at all, but I would even be left out of the fights LOL the irony.

Queued for science last night (EU prime) and was more than 30 min queue (same as before patch). Nope i will not queue.

I'd do it if I got 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) poetics from it. Otherwise, nope.

Back on this thread (I was there before with numbers about Castrum), now I have numbers about praet.

Pre-4.2, level 61 White Mage
I have 2 runs recorded.
1 run took 22 minutes, insta-queue (22 minutes total)
2nd run took 19 minutes, 5 minutes queue (24 minutes total)
Both gave the same rewards obviously.
Once again I only recorded the exp after defeating the last boss (completion exp) and the roulette exp. This doesn't include other bosses or mobs.

completion (last boss): 66261 exp + 20 poetics (1.36%)
roulette: 963,915 exp + 120 poetics (19.78%)

Total: 1,030,131 (21.13%)
total poetics: 140

4.2 run - level 62 white mage
While the level is different, which means the numbers are different, since it's only 1 level it should only be a marginal range of error.

Wait time: 4 minutes, but I did queue with another healer because an FC mate asked and I figured at least then I'd have someone to joke with during the cutscenes.
RunTime: 52-53 minutes (I was a little late to put my timer on, but not by much). We didn't do speed running at the beginning to the teleporters. We actually killed the groups as they came.
Total time: 56-57 minutes

completion exp: 637700 (11.99%) + 200 poetics - holy carp that used to be less than 2%
roulette exp: 2053281 (38.62%)+ 200 poetics - another holy carp
Total exp: 2690981 (50.6%)
Total poetics: 400

New person bonus: 100 poetics - In theory this bonus should pop up more often now as more non-new people quit the roulette so it's worth a mention, even though I didn't add it up to the total.

Overall mood: We were having a blast honestly. I actually noticed a person's outfit for once and we were poking fun at each other and the cutscenes. It was a really fun run.

Conclusion
While the castrum rewards didn't impress me, the praetorium rewards are certainly much more in line with the extra amount of time spent. It took a little over double the time, and gave me a bit over double the exp and quite a bit over double the poetics (even if using only 400 poetics to compare). If someone just had a long day at school or work and was not in the mood for something that required much effort, getting exp to watch some youtube or chat with friends during cutscenes isn't so bad.

I guess the auto advance dialogue was mostly added there to prevent people from afking on the first cutscene on praetorium on purpose.

Late and sorry for digging this up but I just got a Praetorium run as lv 59 with double exp (road to 60).

Started at 136000/3888000 TNL, came out with one whole level and 1424000 surplus so that's almost 5.2m exp. (→ 2.6m with no double exp)
The last boss gave me 1.6m exp and roulette reward gave me 2.8m thanks to the double exp. I'm not sure about how double exp works if you bring a lv 60+ into a lv 50 dungeon but if it does then you can still get the nice exp from boss kill.
The run itself took 50 minutes, no mass pulls.
Small logs on clear.


I'm pretty okay with this. This almost feels like I'm getting rewarded for watching (afking) through cutscenes.
