I was excited with the supposed changes to 2.15 to give the Duty Roulette engine more of an effort to find dungeons around your level.
Well, it's not working.
I've run Tamtara twice since 2.15 went live on Monday. I ran Tamtara four times last week.
I meant, Tamtara isn't exactly hard and it's kind of exciting to get a newbie in the run so we can coach them - and a blast to get 3 veterans so we can just mow through the dungeon in 30 minutes - but I'd like some variety.
Why is it always Tamtara?!

AV holly crap I didnt know it went that high.... That stinks... I still hate that last fight unless you have 2 dps's with aoes and are good at using them for that last fight...
To above I had ifrit a few times.. If I am doing it on a high level job for tomes I cheer because it is 2 second fight... If I get it on a low level for exp it stinks....

Yep, I got AV once as well.
I got Qarn once. Aside from that I've never seen anything higher than the low 20s ever.

I get Sastasha more than anything else. And the low level duty roulette can put you in anything that isn't a level 50 dungeon. So AK, WP, Pharos, CB HM, and HM HM are out. Everything else is in from what I can tell.
It's funny. The times I've been running it lately, I've actually been getting... Haukke Manor. =X
I was REALLY overjoyed when this happened on a level 28 class.

I haven't done the low-lvl one much, but I get Halitali the most. What's even better is when everyone in the pt is lvl synced to 16. Why not put us in something a little higher if we're all above the content?

The worst is tanking Halitali for 2-3 days in a row, then one day deciding to do a regular dungeon at your own level and forgetting you have Butcher's Block. Went through 1/2 a Stone Vigil the other day spamming 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2

Or better yet, wiping a party in Sastasha because you can't figure out why Cure II won't go off while the whole party is eating adds on the last boss?
My first Low Level DR as WHM btw.... Edited, Jan 23rd 2014 11:05am by LebargeX
I got Qarn once, but mostly it's been Halatali, with the occasional one of the "newbie three" for variety.

Seriously. If everyone is above the sync level why not put us in a higher level dungeon?

I'm guessing it means at least one person specifically chose to do Halitali in that case. Maybe they wanted a piece of Doctore's gear, or something?
Aaaaaand make that three times this week.

Means DPS isn't doing there job with preventing adds. The tank can kill the boss easily on their own.
I've drawn Toto-Rak three times over the last three days. Not that I'm complaining because I like being able to use Repose instead of just using Cure 1, but the monotony is enough to drive me mad.

Que'd up tonight and got Cutters Cry. I'd rather do Halitali.... Lol
I can't even keep track of the number of Halatalis I've gotten. It's just. Man. It's either Halatali, Tam-Tara, and that's basically it. Over weeks and weeks I either get those, and once I've gotten Brayflox, Stone Vigil, and ... a few Ifrits, maybe?
Part of me feels like they need to just split Low Level Duty Roulette in two and accomodate Low and Mid-Level. I mean you have 6 dungeons up to level 28, excluding primal fights, and then 6 more that go from 32 to 47. There has to be a way that could work, and from the standpoint of learning more about your job it would help to not have half (or more) of your abilities locked all the time due to level syncing. Maybe split the XP bonus from Low Level between the two, or only split it once someone reaches level 32.
I don't know. There just needs to be a better way to handle this, since so far the roulette is just far too lower level dungeon-centric.

To be fair, it's not really surprising that you get lower level dungeons more often. After all, there are more lower levels out there looking for a dungeon at any given time.
It shouldn't be EVERY time though. I just don't understand why I'm constantly thrown into low level dungeons even when the whole group is higher level. If everyone is at least level 35 then why are we in Copperbell instead of Qarn or Brayflox or something?

Maybe, it should check the lowest level person in the group and put you in a dungeon no lower than maybe 1 or 2 below. If you're level 50 and doing the low level, then you get exposed to the whole spectrum?
