[VIDEO] Preferred role bug

without any addons

Howto:
- A invited B to the group
- after this A setup in "I would like their roles to be" 2 healers, for example
- A invited C to the group
- C preferred role must be different, DD for example
- C will receive additional healer role after this...
- if C will change it to only DD again, and then dungeon mode(normal/veteran) will change, or location of one of the players will change - healer role will be added to a random member

    answer from one addon's developer
    what do you think guys?
    2.1 - where you get a role you didn't set
    I think this is set by the server. The only place where UI calls UpdatePlayerRole is from ZO_PreferredRolesButton_OnClicked.
    And it might not even be a bug, just poor design. You're looking for 2 healers, and then invite a player directly, circumventing the group finder. So the game assumes the invited player is going to fulfil the healer role. Why I think this is poor design is because it makes assumptions. You might as well decide to run with just 1 healer, or no healer at all. We know many dungeons are easy enough to do that. The game should not assume and assign roles without the player's consent.

    2.2 - where the roles get assigned randomly
    This is a mess. Honestly I don't even want to start looking into it, because it'd be so hard and time-consuming, and probably turning out as another server issue.
