Crystal Tower is a waste of time.

Then don't run it. I'm fine with getting alt gear once a week with a myth bonus. RNG is RNG.

I really enjoyed it today... Ran it twice for the 1st time with 8 FC members (dont know if other 16 were premades or not) and on the 2nd got the Bard chest piece...

I'd happily run again this week to help others who got nothing. I'll prob land nothing next week after reset but its about the enjoyment with your fellow gamers, the rewards are a bonus. Too many people treat this stuff like a job...

I found the experience enjoyable, but it's not something i'm going to continue to do. That's a shame honestly, and I really hope that sometime down the road we get a proper crystal tower with a fc ally, and difficulty.

Funnily enough CT is easier than both of those. Not that they're hard, but there is more room over all for failure in CT. It's easy to carry people.

I'm sure after another 5 or so runs I won't have much of a tolerance for stupid wipes anymore. I avoid the duty finder for everything else in this game just because it's not worth the headache it often brings. It's a shame I don't have this option with Crystal Tower.

Didn't enjoy it. They should have kept the 3 alliance separated the whole time but able to see them. All the adds mixed in with 24 people is just dumb.

Just felt like one big fate...

so many loot hitting the ground it hurts :(

Yeah with so much loot just burning, since most people are alt farming... it doesn't even feel like a real raid so much as clearing trash in a real raid.

So much time spent developing a raid just to put a terrible loot lockout on it and have most of the loot burn.

The development direction this game is going is in serious trouble. They are going backwards at full speed.

Problem I usually run into is

1) Multiple players trying to be leader. Some of them barking out confusing strategies and yap on forever.

2) Players making lame jokes over and over thinking they are funny.

I wouldn't complain. They could have just made it like Coil and had one run per week, period. I'm perfectly fine with how it's designed.
