How random is the random que?

heartburnkid · July 2017

White gold tower and Imperial prison pop most of the time. I qued 16 times today between 4 toons and either one of these popped 11 times. Is there a way to uncheck the dlc so I never have to run these again? I am sick to death of them and want the daily run xp bonus - just not at the expense of these zones. Sick to death of them. Anyone else have a zone that won't go away?

If you are very low level you will get them a lot, the dlc dungeons has no level cap unlike the other.
I call this an bug, an level 15 has nothing to do in them.

Else it depend on that the others want to do. You queue for random dungeon, game then group you with others who want to do specific dungeon or random ones, now if an level 10 also want to do an random dungeon he has 50% chance of getting an DLC one, and if game group you with him you also have an good chance getting it.

Do specific dungeons. That way you can then check the boxes of several you would like to do and avoid the ones you don't want.

I would like to do specific but I like the 100k for the daily. Then after it's like 30k. Just wondering why the same two pop way more often than others.

Try asking in the group if anyone queued for the dungeon specifically. I imagine the "random queue" fills any groups looking for a specific dungeon... And it's only random if it's honestly 4 people who selected random.

Add low level players in normal dungeons, that disables the non dlc dungeon at end of list.

This must be the truth. I only queue for specific dungeons, not random, and people in the group comment like "this one again?" Also I play either my healer or tank so you dps players cater to my whims muhahahahaha

Random doesn't really mean random. If someone has queued for a specific dungeon and 3 more queue for a random they will get the specific dungeon the first guy wants.

It's a higher chance one will get one of the dungeons for the pledges as a result.

I had a premade group of friends on lowbies all of us que random daily. Figure we'll rock any normal dungeon hopefully not DLC. Right off the bat we get ICP. Random right. We rocked it fairly easily but still.

Almost always get some DLC or undaunted daily or whatever FOTM dungeons.

When i q for pledges, i do the non-dlc ones on vet first. Very rarely i find a good grp, and decide to stick together and run the dlc one aswell. if thats not the case, or some ppl already did dlc one, i try to pug the dlc one on normal. Most of the times, i pick up 3 ppl below level 20 who look like they just wanted to do a quick random normal....
I'd really like to see a level-cap on dlc-dungeons.
Or atleast an disable option, i mean if u dont have the dlc or eso+ u have it disabled. Workaround: find a guildy w/o eso+, make it leader, have it q.....is kinda like, why do they get an advantage over me for _not_ paying???

This, put level cap for random normal dlc dungeons to 50 as its harder than the hardest non dlc ones who has an level 45 requirement.
On the other hand remove the level restrictions on 4 man groups queuing for specific dungeons.
They don't mess up for anybody else, perhaps give an warning that this dungeon might be to hard.

If you need the 100k xp go anywhere kill 50 ads and boom 100k xp, now you can select a dungeon.

Doing the random you get the XP for killing all the evil doers and get 100k bonus. Killing 50 evil doers outside the random dungeon you get zero XP bonus.

As said, the reason DLC dungeons come up most often in random is they are not level locked at all so when low levels queue, they can only access banished cells, fungal grotto, and spindleclutch. there are 4 DLc dungeons, wgt, icp, rom, cos.
so straight off the bat if there is a low level in the group (level ~10)it will be a 2/5 chance of being a DLC dungeon.

XP wise it's more efficient to go grind over world, you get better gear doing the dungeons though but that wasn't the reason said for doing them.

Not as random as you think. For my experience seems like it tries to balance the team.Then again, besides the dlc dugeons there's a level requirement so unfortunately at low levels you have less items to pick from randomly so dlc ones end up often being it.

That depends on your level, the group and the dungeon you get. Some of them you can get through really quick and some have all kinds of things to kill.

This, the xp for killing the mob is an bonus, tend to be 25-50K depending on dungeon.
With enlightenment its 400K who equals that you earn each day.
