In the MSQ, the first 3 times you encounter a primal, it's a 4 person dungeon, but it's really just a short trial. These end up in the leveling roulette, and every time I've encountered one there it's felt like I've been shorted.

It could be that they only seem to short me, I'll admit I've not sat down and run all the numbers, I am going from my gut feeling here. Leveling roulette tends to give 1.5 levels, if a "trial" happens instead, I get about half of that. Even if this isn't true, even if it just feels like less, enough people feel this way that some resent ending up there, and some of those will take it out on the sprouts. This is bad.

I think I get it, if these where not in a major roulette then the new players who are trying to pass the game won't get the help needed to pass these very important first "trials". I ask though, is leveling the right place for them?

What if they where moved into the MSQ Roulette? Yes you'd have to lock the cutscenes to be fair about things. You'd have a constant flow of people who have been well and properly bribed in order to help. They'd be getting those rather large rewards for less work and time.

I only see two problems.


This would put 4 person and 8 person options into the same que. This is not unique, the mentor roulette can put you into any dungeon in the game, so it has this same issue, but can be solved however it was solved for that.

The second trouble is that the awards might be too good if not changed. If they are changed too far it might be hard for MSQ Roulette to serve it's purpose to make sure that people get through that cutscene embedded nightmare.

I fully intend to suggest this the next time we can do a question submission, but I want as much feedback as possible about it. I want it to be clear that we've looked at it in every possible way.
