Anyone else see this problem with CT's loot system?

This happened to one of my FC Coil goups last night, nothing dropped for a "main job," for the first few turns.

Well, that's a risk with every dungeon, isn't it? Admittedly, Coil makes this pretty harsh, but since Crystal Tower can be run as many times as you like in a week, the only difference is that you're waiting for specific items to drop in order to roll, rather than just greeding on everything for the hell of it.

So it seems, for the people that are understanding the translation better than I am and your consensus here, is that the loot is at the very very end of your run?

That sounds like the solution I was searching for, if that is how it is. It does kind of raise the question though, is it scripted more like Castrum more than say, Coil?

If that is the case, I would like to assume there will be more than one boss and being the last boss will probably be some ominous villain we love to hate, the ones before him/her that drop no loot will probably be sort of bland mini bosses. Which is fine but, with the mention of it being a raid, I kind of was thinking something like, boss 1, then boss 2, etc like Coil. Coil, while being less of a surprise anymore, when first ran at launch had bosses that had a few surprises...

Mini bosses in this game so far, seem to like to overwhelm you with their numbers of adds, which aren't really that overwhelming for a organized group.

I was quite obviously referring to the villain from Star Trek, for those not understanding his meaning.

It was certainly not a spelling error as I am infallible.

As for your disdain for the television character I can understand and agree completely.

The biggest issue i see here is that EVEN IN COIL you can get more than one drop per friggin week. My Tank main/group is damn near geared, so last week i got both a caster ring and a MNK necklace/ring, as they were not needed.

Why do they now want to limit us EVEN MORE than ENDGAME? Really pushes my buttons.

well you can't force ppl to stay.

Will CT still give tomes? If so I would prolly stick around till the end of the run anyway but I imagine a lot of people might not.

I agree here. I hope the once per week is on a Need item. Let us Greed to our heart's content. Why let a piece of gear rot just because it's not the item someone on their main class wanted?

Greeding and winning an item will likely not be counted as your one loot win. It makes much more sense to only count the time that you need roll and win. Otherwise, Yoshi's "You can use it to gear your alts" reasoning doesn't make sense because you can't need roll on alt gear anyway.

It can be more and like a one and done thing. Way they got it planned, but there time for them to fixed it. Like the great pete caroll: says Work and team work and it over at halftime. When You earn a spot on the roster.
