Suggestion for Random Normal Dungeons Queue

CaptainVenom

Most of the times, people just want a quick EXP gain in a calm dungeon run. I don't know about you guys, but I really hate when I go for a random normal and get DLC ones like Castle Thorn for example, which normal runs are harder than veteran base dungeons runs.

So here's the idea: please lower the chances of getting DLC dungeons for Random Normal. I'm sure if people want to do those, they will apply for them, like... specifically.

Would the rewards be the same under a random all vs random limited option?

I thought the point was to make sure people queuing for specific normal DLC dungeons would find players.

Or just let us toggle eso+ on and off at will, so I can turn it off before queueing random dungeons and then turn it back on when done. It sucks being punished for paying $15 a month when people who aren't don't have to deal with dlc dungeons.

The whole point of a random normal is to be able to fill for people queueing for specific dungeons.

People suggest this all the time, and I think it's mostly that people want their free XP/transmutes/etc. for a quick FGI run, not because they actually want to do a dungeon. If they implemented this, then good luck to any DPS who wants to queue to farm any DLC dungeon set, since it will be impossible to find a group at that point unless you had a premade. And you thought the DPS queue took ages before...

If someone wants an easy dungeon, you can always queue for specifics. You'll still get XP from it, just not the bonus for being available to queue in any dungeon...which is the point of making that bonus XP available for people who will fill any dungeon.

I've never had an issue with doing normal DLC dungeons in pugs. But it's probably still a good idea to separate them.

They definitely need to separate the Veteran DLC Dungeons from the regular Vet ones. Because it helps no one when people who aren't interested in doing the more difficult DLC dungeons land into one. Not the people who actually queued up to do it. And definitely not the people who never wanted to be there in the first place. Because those players typically will be quick to leave and have very little patience. So basically unless it's a carry they're gone which can ruin the run for those who actually were interested in doing the dungeon in the first place.

The group finder has a checklist of dungeons, @CaptainVenom ... simply uncheck the dungeons you don’t want to play and then queue.

There’s no XP bonus with that ... but if XP is players’ only goal you’re not playing the right content to maximize it.

When we queue for a random normal, we are mercenaries selling our skills for the XP bonus we get. To get our reward, we must assist a player that wants to complete a specific dungeon.

Are you saying the people who want to do Castle Thorn or Scalecaller or White-Gold Tower don't deserve your help?

I said about queuing and getting a DLC dungeon when no one (me and three other players) wanted it. I thought I made myself very clear when I posted the idea. I have no problem with people running specific dungeons to get their gear... I did it myself a lot, so when they ask for drops, I just give them. Some of you guys missed the point.

So let's try this again... one more time: I asked for a bigger chance to get a normal base dungeon when all four players queued for random normal (no specific). Got it?

Did you read that on the first post? Guess not.

The new patch will give people even less reason to sub as they free up a tonne of space by deconning hundreds of pieces of gear they aren't gonna use. As a non-sub, I never need to worry about getting DLC's on random.

There's nothing in your post that conveys that lol

You can now buy an account for just $6.51. Get 3, log them all in and you can solo random easy dungeon every time for the full reward. No waiting either.

Random means random, @CaptainVenom, a selection from all possibilities (including DLC dungeons).

That’s why there’s an XP reward and other goodies. If your team doesn’t want the possibility of a DLC dungeon, queue for Fungal Grotto I, get your gold plunder skull, and everyone’s happy.

We read what you said in the first post clearly.

Separating queues would only increase queue times for both base and dlc.
