Discussion of Main Scenario Roulette

[Catloaf97]

I find Main Scenario Roulette very long and lack the fun to play. If I have to do this as part of my roulette, I think the only reason I would do is because of its EXP bonus. And even when I'm doing that for EXP, I don't think I actually learn to play a job, because all the skills are locked up to Lv 50. I believe I'm not the only one feel this way.

Sure enough, I do understand the need of keeping the first-time experience of these Lv 50 duties by making the cutscene unskippable. But now that the game has made its progress to Lv 100 cap, isn't it weird to refer a roulette locked at Lv 50 as the "Main Scenario"?

I have two suggestions proposed:

1. Add more (actual) Main Scenario duties to the roulette, e.g., the last Lv x0 duties of each Patch with MSQ content.
2. Remove the limit of unskippable cutscenes, or make them as single-player duties

I'll say you don't have to do it, but i would like more variety in it. Should add the crystal tower alliance raids to it as well, and end the CT suffering in ar roulette

You just straight up should not be allowed to queue for alliance raid roulette if you only have crystal tower unlocked, its called alliance raid roulette not crystal tower roulette

1. The MSQ Roulette exists to get people into the three end-of-ARR dungeons, giving high EXP as a reward to those willing to put up with their length. If the roulette was different then those 3 duties would be otherwise destitute, making it difficult for sprouts to progress. Also, we already have a queue for X0 duties.
2. The cutscenes are unskippable so as to allow sprouts to watch them. If they were skippable, sprouts who wanted to watch them would be left far, far behind while others skipped them and finished the dungeon(s), ruining the experience.

As much as I dislike how the Alliance Roulette works, adding CT to the MSQ Roulette would turn MSQ Roulette into CT Roulette.

Ah, a quarantine! I approve!

Pretty much this.

Also, once upon a time, the cutscenes were skippable, and what you're describing here is exactly what happened. The criticism over it was off the charts. So the cutscenes were made unskippable, and the rewards are set high for this roulette to get people to do it and compensate them for their time.

The problem is that UW might be the biggest offender for downtime, and it has the lowest xp rewards by a country mile. They really need to fix that.

Then let us skip it when there no sprout in the group.

That would just lead to people fishing for MSQ roulette runs where there was no sprouts and immediately abandoning ones that have sprouts as prae without cutscenes can be done in about 10 minutes

Then let them eat the queu penalty.
