Remove item level sync

[Purrnauskis]

What is your actual concern here, the item level sync or that you're getting Alexandria 80% of the time?

The item level sync is there in response to past player complaints that the lack of one trivialized the end game MSQ dungeons too quickly thanks to power creep. They're highly unlikely to remove it.

Why are you getting Alexandria 80% of the time? That's a more interesting question. The required ilvl for all 3 dungeons in the roulette is the same (670). You can't queue for the roulette unless you have all 3 unlocked. A guess would be that players find it easier to grind Alexandria for tomestones, despite the ilvl sync, than Tender Valley or Strayborough once they have their daily Expert bonus. The usual wipes in the latter two slow things down much more than the RP delays in Alexandria slow that dungeon down.

If you dislike Alexandria that much, then skip the Expert roulette and queue for the other two directly. The daily bonus (40H/60A) is already less than you earn for running any of the 3 dungeons normally (50H/80A) so you're really not missing out on much. Just run one of the dungeons an extra time to make up for the loss.

Both but with nuance.

I hate Alexandria, it is an absolute snoozefest of a dungeon compared to the other 2 in expert roulette. I suppose the issue lies in the fact that they force an ilvl synced MSQ dungeon into expert roulette, that is what is causing the friction here.

"The item level sync is there in response to past player complaints that the lack of one trivialized the end game MSQ dungeons too quickly thanks to power creep."

This part is silly to me because they are trivial to begin with and, as I already pointed out in my other post, Alexandria does not have any storybits or such during any encounters. It forcefully makes you to enjoy their cinematic kino by not lifting the walls even if all mobs are dead. If we could do Alexandria now with the ilvl u can do other expert dungeons at u would not lose out on anything realistically. We are not one shotting mobs in other expert roulette dungeons. Sounds like a design issue and a band-aid solution from their part.

Oh also, follower dungeons exist so people can go do those if they care about the cinematic kino, thats what they are there for.

As for why I got Alexandria so often I assume it is because people don't have the other dungeons unlocked perhaps because if I am not mistaken when I que into expert roulette it can throw me in with someone doing Alexandria for their MSQ for the first time. But I could be wrong about that.


I have skipped expert roulette and played other games just like Yoshi P intended!
