    deep dungeon in duty finder?

    Have seen the deep dungeons are a interesting part of both leveling and just doing something a bit different but noticed the wait times been going up when tried them recently so am wondering if adding to the duty finder and maybe even daily roulette would be of interest to others.

    open to how it is right now but feel this could give this game mode a new lease and boost by adding it to duty finder.
    Its same with variant dungeons they could also be put into the duty finder.

    Regardless what happens here am looking forward to the future ff11 inspired content so going be engaging in that when it comes out.

    Quarrymill, Onokoro, or Mor Dhona's npc to the eight sentinels are all next to an aetheryte.

    Adding 40 different listings to the duty finder will not speed up queues (20 sets for PoTD, and 10 for the others). As for me I am indifferent, mostly because I don't do deep dungeons in parties beyond the first week or so.

    The benefit would actually having them in a daily roulette with a good daily completion bonus, pretty much like the other duties that people rarely queue outside of those. Who ever queues for Praetorium outside of the MSQ queue and once while leveling? It naturally feeds into the wait times of people manually queueing for them, DD being in the Duty Finder or not.

    I won't say I have a specific solution, but there are a few kinds of content that don't have any roulettes to fill in bodies, and that can make them kind of painful to queue for. The Deep Dungeons are one kind, but the Variant Dungeons are even worse in my experience. I'd love it if they made a few new roulettes for this kind of stuff.

    Party Finder. This also allows you to keep Magicites/Demiclones/Pomanders between floorsets and allows you to go beyond floor 100 (PotD) or 30 (HoH/EO).

    Party Finder, or just solo it by turning matchmaking off. The only reason why it would take longer to do a Variant Dungeon solo rather than in a party is if your personal DPS is substantially lower than expected due to the HP for all bosses and enemies being reduced to adjust for not having as many party members.

    I'm not sure how Deep Dungeons would work in a roulette simply because of how the floors are structured. There is, however, other content that I think needs looked at like DR that needs their queue systems fixed or reworked.

    I don’t think DD are suitable for roulette unless it keeps putting you at the first level of each dungeon because people can be on different floors. If you want to go in with a party go to where the DD is located and the game will place you with 3 randoms. This is only good for 10 levels. If you want a party that will stay for longer try party finder and mention what you want (i.e. in PotD lvl 1-50, 51-60 for leveling, 51-100, 51-200 for completion - make time for about 5 hours for that). You can also go solo.

    There is also a DD discord. It’s where I go when I want a full run as PF often finds unreliable people like that first time moron who wanted a completion run and who we carried only for him to leave at floor 180 without a word, leaving us to have to restart all over. If someone pulled that with other people in discord, they’d get the boot.

    Automated matchmaking is so choice though. I remember MMO's before automated matchmaking, and honestly I don't want to go back there. It's so much slower and clunkier. Heck, the reason I finally quit FF11 was because the manual nature of getting groups together was just too slow to get anything done in a reasonable period of time. And in my experience, Party Finder is only a slight improvement compared to that.

    As for solo...I love playing with other people! They're half the fun in this game. ^^

    Consider the following:
    Make ingame friends or join an FC and get them to do content with you that has an absurd queue time.

    speaking of deep dungeons, i wish it was possible to pick a prior floor set at the penalty of getting no aetherpool/item rewards. and the exp/poetics are lowered to the lowest floors rewards (either 1-10, or checkpoint floors, such as the 51 for PotD) (also doesnt save your progress in the save files)
    So when someone says they cant find ppl for floors 31-40, or 41-50 of PotD, they dont just give up on the content and quit (as with most ppl i know)
