MSQ Roulette During Early Access

[Fluffernuff]

I mean kind of answered yourself right there. its not worth the exp. it probably wouldnt be anyway beyond the daily (which you would only get 4 of max anyway). its not going to take you all 4 days to get from 60-70, even with a cutscene-less MSQ.

Couple up with the fact that gunbreaker is a... tank? as in theres no queues anyway?

Dancer might have some awkward times without a friend and might be stuck in roulettes and HoH... but gunbreaker? you have the pick of the litter and plenty of viable and variety of options and dungeons without needing to resort to MSQ roulette.

honestly, if we're on the topic of useless roulettes, why dont we get up in arms over the guildhest roulette? those stop scaling after 50. they take like 5 minutes and STILL arent worth it! this is unacceptable.

The reason tanks don't have queues is that they're rare, and less people are queuing with tanks than other roles.

if everyone is trying to level gunbreaker at once, that won't be the case. It'll be healers with the instant queue and the "adventurer in need" bonus, at least for a while.

I'm not worried about using the whole early access to get caught up, I'm worried that half my day1 struggle will be spent getting to 61 as opposed to the rest of the way to 70 so I can catch back up to the crowd going into MSQ. Spoilers are hard to avoid and I'd rather catch back up before people are done with too much ShB content.

Do your Ananta and Kojin beast tribes, that should get you to lvl 61 easy for atleast one of them. Do it for DNC and your GNB can easily be done via dungeons due to faster ques times.

If you're worried about spoilers, I suggest clicking the Event tab and staying in it the whole time. You won't see any chats except NPCs, so you won't be spoiled.

I also suggest disabling titles in all sections under Character Configuration -> Display Name Settings, incase someone's title provides a spoiler.

The problem with this is that there is an influx of new players. These people will be thrown into the same situation that caused the MSQ cutscenes to be mandatory; being forced to skip or get left behind if they want to experience the story as it goes, because vets are impatient and only care about their own needs.

You choosing to level up a new class instead of doing the ShB MSQ is not the fault of the devs or new players. You're choosing to level up a new class instead of doing the story, and then trying out the new classes afterwards. Is it inconvenient? For sure, but that's the compromise being made.

Agreed. I love the guildhests and would love to see them fixed up some, and have more added.

60 -> 61 has always been pretty fast for me, unless you intend to use roulette exp on something else day 1 I don't see why it'd be slow.
Leveling -> Trials -> alliance -> Gubal -> Done. Has always gotten me to 61 on the couple jobs I've boosted, or like within 1-2 fates worth of exp to ding it, and only takes 1-2 hours.

[Fluffernuff]

Perhaps i was overly sarcastic and i apologize for that... but in this particular case, specifically for 60-61, the other roulettes (alliance, leveling, normal raid) could getdancer to 61. though the queues will still probably bite you.

another interesting avenue are the HW and SB hunt marks. they only take a few minutes per mark and theyre like 1 or 2% scaling exp per bill. you have both ananta and kojin beast tribe dailies with scaling exp at 60. between those during queues on dancer, you'll likely hit 61 within an hour or 2. again, gunbreaker has dungeon spam. 60 is awkward but we ran gubal on SB launch to avoid palace. if youre that sick of HoH. and again, theyre a tank, so if they are your first job of choice, you also have roulettes like DNC

When I was leveling RDM/SAM to 61 in early SB, I ran Gubal NM—leveling dungeons will probably see themselves nerfed with experience gains buffed, as this has been the case for ARR > HW and HW > SB. So I would suggest running Gubal NM from 60 to 61.

Between Alliance Roulette, Leveling, Beast Tribes and just good ole fashion dungeon spam, it won't take long to level GNB and DNC.
