I finally got something close to my level in Cutters Cry...and then back to Tam Tara and Ifrit. I think people just take it slower once they hit the 30's.

I got sastasha as well but the tank was lvl 16. Both bray's I ran today also had new tanks. Why you put me w/ the new tanks SE 
.
.There are a lot more dungeons to choose from once you hit the 30's. Where as, if you're leveling a new class and only have your character between levels 15 and 22, you only have three dungeons to choose from. As such, those dungeons get re-ran far more frequently. Once you hit level 25, you've got Toto Rak, Haukke very shortly after that, then Brayflox and Cutters Cry. That's quite a lot more dungeuns to choose from, in a very short amount of time.
Even if they're using the Roulette, it still means that those dungeons get ran less. Especially when they're probably going to be tapped to run with with players whom can only run Satasha/Copperbell/Halatali. XD
Awesome, why the hell did they take that out in the first place?

I guess when you think about it, between 25 and 38, you have quite a few options. I sometimes space out the optional places like Qarn. I don't mind variety but I cringe when I get TotoRak or CC, they are kinda long.
Oh wait Qarn is no longer optional...opps!

So has anyone had issues with the side quest "Doubt Truth to be a Liar"?
I took care of the first orange area and the orange area furthest way, map still shows the first orange area (but the second one I took care of disappeared) however the guy I had to go see and /doubt was several meters away at 11,30 next to a tree far from the orange area on the map.
Seems like an odd bug that hasn't been fixed. :/ at least it's not totally broken though

I did notice dungeon queues for higher level dungeons were coming in quicker if I manually queued for them, but so far the Duty Roulette is still giving me mostly low level dungeons.
A certain previous MMO gave me PTSD in regards to dailies, so I haven't really touched them at all in FFXIV. >_>
Finally!... To bad it is basically useless now (for me anyway). Though I guess it will come in handy when the future expansion will be released.
Ideally you go with another white mage.
If micromanaging your pet is too hard, set Eos on Sic and then park him in the northwest or northeast just outside of Mountain Buster range. Her limited range will prevent her abilities from reaching everybody, but for that fight it's a hassle to manage while you're dodging aoe anyway. Mostly, she'd be helping out on healing the tank.
I've never used the bubble for stomps, just for Titan jumps. Post-heart it's probably better to stack Aetherflow for Lustrate, and use Succor for heals and shields. If you run with a white mage they'll do the burst healing, you'll be in charge of reducing damage.
Before the patch I got Titan Story and Qarn, so it's not impossible.

I find myself in dire need of a Shantotto solo game. The Lalafells of Eorzea, by comparison, are in fact quite lame.
It's pretty lame that it is, though. It would have been a good opportunity for SE to get people going into CT even after they got their drop.
As it is, I doubt most people will be willing to give up their drop to get it.
I'll get it, whatever. CT gear is hardly the end all.
Also it's tradeable/sellable apparently

wait, it does? that's bullshit.
A crafting material shouldn't take the place of a gear drop especially if you have to roll against 23 other people to get it.
I spent a good 40 mins trying to find that guy. SE should at least mark him with a quest icon or something.
Might be useful for some of us who don't need gear as a main spec, but I can't imagine that being too many unless you only have one class at level 50. At least the price will be higher up on it.

On the patch notes, it said a 4th chest would appear which contains the item. I believe the groups should still get the standard loot.
Is this a bug or are people just assuming?
The patchnotes were amended, apparently the wording wasn't clear on the English version, but every other version mentioned the extra item drop pulling the loot drop for the week.

"Unfortunately this was a mistake in the English patch notes, and we've since corrected it. We apologize for the confusion this might have caused.
The new text reads:
* Obtaining a Dimensional Blade fragment will count toward the weekly one-reward limit. "
Per a community rep on the forums.

This is why I decided not to roll a tank. Everyone asks "where the tanks?" but no one wants to play with any new tanks.
So I decided to play a Monk instead.

People cry over dumb things. So 1 person in the 300 or so active people we have sacrifices 1 week of CT loot to get a furnishing. Not that big of deal. Hell, I didn't get a drop last week since I only need very specific pieces and would gladly take on for the team here.
You should have rolled a tank. Everyone likes a good tank. :O
30 second queues for pretty much everything is fantastic too.
Rolling low level DF sometimes as a tank feels wonky though, you get into a pattern on pulls and when you don't have your complete skillset anymore. It's like oh right can't throw a shield... guess I'll rush in!!

Every tank should just learn every battle before they ever do it.
Kinda missing the entire point of Duty Roulette.
Only posts I have since jumping to the ARR forum structure is from reporting bugs. I can't imagine taking part in the discussions there, it's a god damn wasteland. 1.0 wasn't much better though with people like Roiken and such so whatever, official forums yo! They always suck.
I've been leveling my Monk exclusively through my daily low level roulette and I get this feeling when I do. "How is my combo going to play out in this dungeon!?
" Really wish they would just let you use all of your abilities / traits. ~_~I've been leveling my Monk exclusively through my daily low level roulette and I get this feeling when I do. "How is my combo going to play out in this dungeon!?
Yeeeaaahhh, your play style changes dramatically based on what abilities you have unlocked. So, roulette often ends up being pretty poor practice for end-game content as that class. Slight problem, considering people often get to 50 and have a ton of gear waiting for them. It means they end up skipping a lot of the fresh-50 content, that helps get you trained up as that class.
I kinda wish they'd just, scale stats downward, but leave skills alone. That'd probably make the dungeons a lot easier, but still.
Edit: To be clear, I understand why they don't do it this way, this is mostly just wistful daydreaming. Also, this would only, "slightly," help with endgame training. Once you get to level 40, you usually have enough skills at hand to effectively start training up that class, for level 50 content. So, keeping Skills in tact for Roulette would only help slightly. It'd result in maybe getting, 5-10 more dungeon runs with a mostly complete set of job skills. It'd be a start, but not all that much of one.

Well maybe you will get grouped with me
All of this positive reinforcement has me convinced I must play as a tank since that is what I am comfortable with coming from tanking WoW and EQ2. I know what I am doing this evening now. Once I get off the phone with SE for the 3rd or so time because they double charged me when I purchased FFXIV:ARR.

While I still need loot from CT on my main, I'll be more than happy to try and need the furnishing item in CT on my alt since everything healing wise is a downgrade/I already have it.
1.0 seemed mostly just ignorant and/or stupid people, but that's transformed to extremely aggressive jerks.
I wouldn't care at all if I didn't think people might peek in to use it as a measuring stick for the community before joining. Could not have a worse representation.
I run CT for the BLM gear, and only for future vanity slots since it's all a downgrade for me. If I ever saw the shard drop and I haven't already used my roll for the week, I would instantly roll on it.
With my luck, though, I'll never see it drop. :/
1.0 community was incredibly small so it's not like we had much to go on, trolls were known and for the most part it was just sort of rolling with the punches. The community however got enormous since ARR, so it's really hard to measure who's who. It's all shit on the main forums though. I personally can't understand how people frequent it for anything other than bug reports, patches or dev posts (which you can track on the right panel without looking into the main forum anyway)

While I am spinning in my chair at work browsing this thread, the FFXIV forums, and things in general... I couldn't notice you had a very nice looking WAR
So I must ask... PLD or WAR?
And I am asking this full well knowing you may have a bias.- Status
