Greetings,
The development team actually had the idea to allow players to queue up for the Duty Roulette as a party since the planning stages of this feature, and they are currently working on this. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on the implementation timing as development progresses.


"Hey let's go... oh yeah, Duty Roulette is solo only. Let's meet up after we get our bonuses."

*sigh*

This is going to be a much welcomed improvement!

Yeah. I didn't think it would, but the Duty Roulette has lowered our FC's time spent together significantly.

hopefully it's a max of 3ish people, or it will defeat the point of DR fast filling lower content groups... I don't know how they're going to implement it, and I'd like to think they keep the lower/middle content filling in mind since that is what will keep the game alive. New people hitting a brick wall before their 30 day free sub is up will destroy the growth of this game very quickly.

Well, four out of the five dungeons that DR stuck me in over the last week have been baby dungeons. The 5th was a Halitali, which is almost like a baby dungeon.

I have the maps of Sastasha and Tamtara completely memorized, now.

Yeah it just feels like there isn't as many people shouting for groups anymore. I cant wait for this.

My brother and I actually make it into Duty Roulette high and low together quite frequently. We either queue at the same time, or if one of us is in a party, we let the other know if a vacancy pops up. Admitedly queuing at the same time isn't a fool proof method, but we have ended up in WP, AK, CBHM, Ifrit and a few lowbie dungeons together doing this (me tank, him healer).

Having said that, being able to even queue as a duo would make this infinitely easier, we enjoy running dungeons together as we work well as a tank/healer combo.

This will also be addressed in 2.15. For some reason Square Enix made an explicit decision to make Low Level Roulette pick the first 5 dungeons a vast majority of the time (doesn't make sense to me either). 2.15 will include a fix that lets Roulette pick dungeons around your level.

A FC mate and I have talked about this, and we both kind of wish that some of the SM dungeons (possibly the primals) were under the "Main Scenario" roulette. Or just SOMETHING besides Praetorium and CM.. Every Day.

Huh. Weird. My first two low level DR's were Garuda normal and Stone Vigil. Both on my Marauder, thinking I'd get stuck in Sastasha or Copperbell. I guess I've been lucky; I've had a good share of the "lowbie three" but I've also had a decent amount of Toto-rak, Halatali, Haukke and Brayflox.

Have yet to see Titan in DF though.

I will be glad of more variety in the dungeons that actually pop up on low level roulette. Most of the time it's Copperbell, occasionally Halitali or Satasha, very rarely Haukke or Tam Tara, Ifrit story mode once, Toto-Rak once. That's all I've ever gotten in taking WHM from 20-47 everyday.

I've landed in Ifrit NM twice myself. That fight is pretty easy now that everyone knows all the mechanics.

I just figured the large number of baby dungeons I was doing had to do with the large number of people who got the game for Christmas and are slowly getting up to those levels. There's usually one or two newbies in each dungeon.

I've got Ifrit a couple times too. Talk about super fast tomey tomes!!

My highest dungeon in "Low Level" so far has been Halatali I think. I know I got AV once, but I can't remember which 'tier' I was doing.

It just means you're going to be put in Titan NM soon, now that probably everyone who was stuck on Ifrit has been helped through.
