The MSQ roulette needs to be changed or removed.

[Sweetllew]

the fact that it is a que for only 1 out of 3 things that you can not skip any cutscenes and almost always get the first one which is the longest makes no sense. there has been nothing added to it since ARR which has been a while now.
move the rewards from it to dungeons and plug them back in there changing how the cutscene works or add more to the pool from other dlc's it is literally the worst daily thing in the game to do that sucks the joy sitting behind 10 minutes of talking from characters instead of putting time elsewhere in the game

I hate it. But I have to think of it from a new player's perspective. The whole point is to help new players progress.

yes but still same with the alliance raid ques you get a mix from every dlc so far. and it is at the end of ARR players would still get others matched to them

[Sweetllew]

but to have a separate que that gives more rewards than the others for poetics that is a leftover from ARR and you can not limit what of the three it just sucks. giving more options to not get the first one or adding more to it from different dlc would give it more variety and not feel lifeless

There's no reason to change it because it serves it's intended purpose perfectly; it gets new players through the content and provides enough incentive to keep veteran players queuing. If you hate it then don't do it.

Square has tacitly acknowledged that it's design doesn't make sense by never creating more content like it, but it exists and it's working. No reason to fix old content that isn't broken.

Yeah, it's a trash roulette for garbage content. You should just avoid that roulette entirely. The reward they offer isn't worth the time investment.

Now if they would only quarantine the Crystal Tower to that roulette too, I would be ecstatic.

If you don't want to play that content or don't think Poetics are enough of a reward, don't queue for it. The MSQ roulette solely exists to incentivize veteran players to help newer players get past the hurdle of those 3 dungeons. As long as new players can manage to finish 2.0, it is doing its job. If you want the best amount of progression for your time, just do the highest-level dungeon you have access to.

Ultimately, the only reason those dungeons are separate from the other roulettes is BECAUSE they have so many cutscenes in the middle of them. MSQ roulette exists specifically so you don't get blindsided by a 50 minute commitment when trying to find something fast. To change or remove it would defeat its very purpose for existing at all.

It would be nice if they found a way to make it an entirely solo-able set of instances at this point.

Back when it was an 8-man instance, it was a different story. It was your first experience doing 8-man content in the game and was grandiose for not only that but as the climax for 2.0's story.

Now that they've diminished that feeling a bit, I honestly wish they would have just gone the extra mile and made it a solo instance so we could get rid of the roulette. The only time players are going to queue for that roulette is because they are desperate for Poetics or they themselves are leveling a class.

No. It's called massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, I'll never understand the appeal of progressively making a social game genre less social.

[hagare]

there's a simpler solution.
DON'T QUEUE FOR IT!

i do think it should be removed as the contents for it support a team of bots, the MSQ insted should be changed to the requiered aliance raids and MSQ that dosent have duty support.

really where you cant skip make it a que with a party you form or npc for it and move the poetics elsewhere. because really all it does is every so often get a vet player who gets mad when people are wiping to the bosses which is hard to do. really not a good experience for new players to get the vets who are there for rewards only.

After doing that damn thing over 100 times after joining this year

i could give both positive and negative points i would prefer it were content you did completely solo to have those nice fights back the first fight i really like in xiv was the duel with one of the invading general that tries a kamikaze attack on you that fight was fun

Whoever do those do for the tomes and if you want to see the cutscenes so badly do with npcs the fights are easy that even them can solo it

[D. Flame]

They should just rework the early quests so that the dialog and cutscenes happen before and after combat only. So by the time you queue in, you are straight into the combat, because the host already watched the cutscenes, then when the combat is over, you can leave, and the host goes back to watching their cutscenes.

Exp daily bonus is well worth it for lv80+, being around half of level. Before that yeah, it's a waste of time.

Honestly wether you're (partially) joking or not you're not wrong, it's no fun if they make the final dungeon/boss not doable together.
