Duty finder : always getting the same thing

[AxHell]

So first of all, I would like to apologize if I created this thread in the wrong forum (I thought here would be the best place), and if another thread like this already exists but I didn't find anything like it.

So please feel free to tell me if this thread needs to be moved or removed.

Now onto the subject at hand :

So maybe it is just me but does anybody goes through the same bosses / dungeons / raids when they use duty finder ?

When I choose leveling roulette, it's always Snowcloack, Copperbel or Aurum Vale (argh). When I choose trials, it's Titan, Leviathan, Ramuh or Bismark and when I choose raids, it's always Syrcus or WOD.

Now I understand that there's always a chance I will get one of those things I listed but I'm getting tired of going through them, despite liking doing them and helping new players or being with a nice party.

I would like if the RNG could get me something I haven't done in a long time or something I never did.

What about you people ?

DFR70: Hell's Lid Roulette

basically there's reasons for some of them: Minions. For the ones that don't have minions it's bad luck to keep getting them

I always get Toto-Rak. /Always/. To the point it's my least favorite dungeon and I can run it in my sleep. If I never see that dungeon again I will sincerely die happy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but its only RNG if the whole party/alliance is using DF, otherwise it will fill in the gaps for people who have queued for specific dungeons. which means Toto-rak and satasha are really common because people are leveling a new class, and sycrus/WOD because people are trying to get lvl50 to 60 and don't have access to any higher dungeons

You do seem to go through phases of the same thing. I once got Garuda for levelling 6days straight. Currently on 4 days for hells lid on ex

Hmmm I don't know. When I party up with my FC, we usually get what I've been getting. Maybe you're right.

(Snowcloak will never come up in DR:Leveling because Snowcloak is DR:50)


Something you have to keep in mind whenever doing anything random in this game: if the probability is not 0% or 100%, there are no guarantees.

Some duties will pop more often because more people are queuing for those specific duties and the roulettes serve the purpose of filling in as needed.

For fully random roulettes, you might feel like you're getting the same thing over and over, but there are thousands of other people doing roulettes each day, and those people are seeing duties that you might not be. Lack of apparent randomness does not equate to a lack of actual randomness.

It depends on what you have unlocked and available. If you queue for Alliance on a sub 60 job or without having done the quests to get Void Ark/Mhach/Dun Scaith, you'll be getting a lot of Crystal Tower because it can't give you anything else. My friends and I tend to call that one "Labyrinth of the Ancients roulette" because of how often it comes up.

They're all like that. Trial gets a lot more options once you unlock things like the Warring Triad, all of which are optional, to give it more options for you to get. But the basic MSQ ones come up a lot because anyone doing the MSQ now will need them and they'll get others to help fill the party out.

Expert only has two, so RNG could easily give you the same one five times in a row.

Back when I was first leveling my WAR I got Cutter's Cry for Leveling Roulette for almost a month straight. Started to hate that dungeon, though I got good at soloing the majority of the last boss in there(this was pre-4.3)

There are a couple of things that can affect the Roulette ;

Dungeons unlocked by all party members;

Someone on queue for a specific dungeons. If someone is doing daily and a member is on queue to make sure they get a dungeon that will affect it. Kind of why people get same dungeon multiple times. If you experiment with a pre set group you will see different dungeons at random. Did some testing and different ones not duplicates as if we were going at it individually.
