    60 hour lockout, handled like this, is so unwieldy and awkward :/

    We'd been trending away from timed lockouts, look at all the other recent endgame content: Delve/Skirmish/Ambuscade/Escha/Reisen/SR/Incursion/Vagary/Unity/HTB

    We took a step back to Assault days with Omen, and that was bad enough, considering the body/glove droprates and how slow you get cards (without the card event on), but this is on a whole nother level :/

    (That said, I like all the gear from Omen, and the fights themselves, and it looks like I'll like the Dynamis content, and I like the gear and even the reward strategies (excepting bodies/gloves), so keep in mind the main thing I'm complaining about is the timing of the content.)
    If it were 100% new content, not set in Dynamis zones, then I would agree that it would feel awkward.

    Given where it is, and what it is, long lockout just makes me remember the old days and be not-upset over it.

    It has quite the opposite effect on me, reminding me of the things I disliked from the old days.

    I still haven't even gotten to play the new content as we didn't realize it would be 60 hour lockouts before patch so I haven't had the chance to get together with my group to discuss how we're going to handle scheduling, which is going to be super awkward timing wise in my group, but I can't go now or when we discuss it tomorrow I wouldn't be able to go then if we decide to, etc etc, so, wasting two days here, and probably plenty more in the future, which feels super bad.
