Mentor XP Buff not applying when solo queueing Roulettes/Duty Finder

[Digitahl]

Date & Time: 2023-11-28

Frequency: Always

World name: Sargatanas
Character name: Aleera Duskreaver

Party or solo: Solo

Steps:
1. Use Duty Finder to solo queue for a Duty
2. As a Mentor, sprouts never receive my XP buff. As a sprout (alt) I never receive a Mentor's XP buff.
3. XP Buff is only applied if Mentor and Sprout group prior to queue-ing.

As a Mentor and a Sprout, it would be nice if this buff were able to be applied for all grouped content to help everyone all the time whenever it is available. It feels really bad when you solo queue in with another group that all have the buff and you don't.

Mentor's buff is only applied with Sprout you are teaming with BEFORE entering dungeon.

It works as intended.

I'm a mentor and am aware of how it currently works and I disagree that it is working as intended for ALL grouped content.

The buff is an even bigger slap to the face for omni-90s who can't group with their friends to give them the buff because then the sprout would get 0 XP and, outside of FATEs, there's no "sync to sprout level" option...

So I'll have to disagree that, because it works like this today, is how it should work in the future.

Then isn't a bug, is something that you want to be changed.

Those forums are for Localization, website and app content. But there are a lot of forums in the Gameplay category.

"Mentor in party in current area."

If I join a group via roulette, which part of the above am I not fulfilling for the buff to become active?

Is simple is two different things:

1.- Party formed by you, or a player.

2.- Party formed by the system.

Is an italian cuisine? Totally, the same happens to when you travel to the same server of the people that are in your party, you have to re-do the party because before it was a cross-server and it doesn't update automatically because of reasons.
