Those are my favorite dungeons to run once a day, they give a massive amount of experience in the roulette. Like nearly an entire level massive. I just hope you have a 2nd monitor.

yeah MSQ roulette is a decent solution to ARR cruft. Newbies get important story and groups in a reasonable time frame, and anyone who needs ironworks/shire/skaev whatever to powerlevel alt jobs gets a lunchbreak

I get people with manifestos about how the cutscenes should be skippable (but same rewards) or how someone signed up for MSQ roulette when they should've gone to bed and are expecting us to keep them awake.

Dang. Well at least you can always turn chat off and play on your phone or read a book during the cutscenes. Regalingualius posted:Such derby-station… this was not my innes-tention!

That ones so on rails it's virtually impossible to meet with disaster

msq roulette chat has dropped to basically nil as the number of people deathgrinding for mogtomes has gone up. it's usually a bit more chatty than this, but now people aren't even saying hello and thank you, it's kinda lovely tbh

I did those dungeons probably 6 months ago, and I don't think I have ever run MSQ roulette. I've only done them once each and that was enough.

Pretty much every dungeon I've done so far has people going o/ at the beginning and gg or thanks at the end and that's it. I think they all want to rush through the dungeons as fast as possible instead of standing still long enough to type something. On the other hand my first run through the Castrum had people doing anime catgirl roleplay in party chat, so maybe companionable silence is... not so bad.

Just start typing and you can bring up chat even in loading screens. I don’t know how that works on PS4 though, but I assume if you’re on PS4 you aren’t chatting a lot anyway.

I cut out the MSQ roulette from my daily rotation as the experience really didn’t seem worth it when in my 60s. Maybe I’ll do it for fresh 50 alt classes but with the road to 70 at least dungeons just felt like a better time investment. Even with DPS queues (which seem to fluctuate between 30 seconds up to 11 minutes) but I have plenty of stuff to do ingame while I wait.

Getting Praetorium is the highest xp to minute activity in the game, regardless of your level. I don't blame anyone for finding it too boring to do habitually though.

The higher leveled you are, the better the exp payout of Prae is because it is proportional to your level.

At least on PC, all I have to do to get the chat to show during a cutscene is press select/view/back/- or whatever that button is called now. The one that cycles the cursor between windows. One press during a cutscene activates chat.

I was tanking in a NA prae and was surprised that everyone just instantly activated the terminals and ran off without killing the mobs nearby, resulting in me being stunlock to death, whereas in JP runs, the group will tend to kill off all the mobs next to the activation terminals to make sure that everyone make it through safely.

MSQ Roulette with daily bonus and newbie in the party bonus is definitely the highest xp/poetics per brain power activity in the entire game. Second is probably the early post-HW 8 man raids most of which are spank and tank. shoc77 posted:There seems to be a different culture in NA servers compared to JP servers as well. YEah, I've been acting as a sacrificial tank at the end of that pull, letting the squishies hit the terminal.

I just get to the bottom, Provoke as soon as I'm in range of the last group, hit Sprint, and that usually pulls them far enough away that I can zoom past them and mash Interact on the teleporter to get through in time.
