Universal Roulette

[Anzaman]

To be fair, extreme trials shouldn't be part of mentor roulette.

Big reason why I haven't been running Mentor Roulette. Remove Extreme fights from it, and I'll start using it more.

Something I would like in this game is a 'universal roulette,' one that has a chance to put you in any duty you have unlocked. This includes expert, end-of-expansion, levelling, and MSQ dungeons, as well as normal and alliance raids, and trials.

The Mentor roulette, Guildhests, PvP, and anything else non-combat like the Gold Saucer stuff would not be included.

Why do I want this? Simply because I love the duties in this game, and it feels like there are some I almost never get to play just because I never seem to have a reason to. Doma Castle, Amaurot, The Twinning, Mt. Gulg, The Dancing Plague, The Dying Gasp, The Vault, The Singularity Reactor, the Final Steps of Faith, Praetorium, Thornmarch, The Grand Cosmos, The Drowned City of Skalla, and the entirety of Eden are probably my favorite duties, but because they span several of the roulettes, the chances that I see more than one, or even just one of them over the course of a week doing my roulettes is very, very low.

And, of course, since it's more than five, I can't queue for them all manually. And even if I'd want to, I'd probably be dragged into Prae 9 times out of 10 if it only had to compete with four other duties...

So, give me a Universal Roulette, so I have a chance of doing all the duties.

Bonus points if it has a large reward. I could see it as the ultimate 'filler' roulette, so that the party who had their tank leave at the beginning of Amaurot doesn't have to wait an hour for someone to want to queue 50/60/70/80 dungeons during slow hours.

Just an idea, though.

So the high level of masochism that the mentor roulette requires is not enough for you, you need a second one?

Crossing even more boring random content, what a wonderful...

Another one that's supposed to be innovative?

I would say it's DC differences but we're on the same one. I've gotten nearly everything you listed at least once in the past 2 or 3 weeks. I've been getting Mt Gulg so much I'm getting tired of getting blinded by it. I'm usually on eastern prime time.

Do you keep join in progress on? I've had a few from that list I was a fill-in for either a bail or a DC.

Also, as others have said, that's basically Mentor Roulette without the Extremes and without fulfilling the requirements for it. Which seems like getting around the point of that existing.

While I can see how that would appeal to some people, I have to say I prefer the current way. There are some types of roulettes I just don't do so I don't want to be put in a queue for them. I prefer to queue for the ones I want, get them done, and be on my way.

I may have my facts wrong here, but I believe if you queue with a full group of level 90 players who have completed all dungeons for that queue type, the roulette system can queue you for anything. The main problem we have of getting certain dungeons more frequently than others is the roulette system has a built-in mechanism that puts players in with people doing content for the first time. If you take a second at the start of a Prae or LotA/ST/WoD, you'll probably notice at least one sprout or someone who's new. That's not always the case, but is something I notice more often than not.

Give a pre-made group a try and see how it goes. I'd love to see what the results from the Alliance raid turn out to be.

Maybe something to cover the gap between "Leveling" and "50/60/70/80" roulette when you are leveling an alt job? If you are like 51-59 then 50/80 will always be 50 while leveling is not guaranteed to be >=50. And as mentioned it's pretty impossible to reliable get mid-level expansion dungeons just due to the sheer amount of dungeons "leveling" roulette can hit (and by quantity ARR is most likely).

I support more roulettes, but they need to add an ilvl requirement to them so that people can't just equip lvl 50 gear to storm through them as fast as possible

[Jennah]

We have this in Mentor Roulette.
But since SE decided to add Extreme Trials to it, it ... is not a pleasant experience.
(And a pain in the rear to unlock if you're new, or don't normally bother with Extreme Trials in the first place.)

[Shibi]

I'd like to be able to tick 2 or 3 options. Levelling, 50-80, frontlines - and it pick the first I am useful in.

Putting the Gold Saucer duties in a roulette would make no sense because they're all solo. The point of a roulette is to fill in a group trying to complete group content. It would be like putting Carnival stuff in roulette, it makes no sense.
