To the people who complain about the CT loot lockout:

This week has come and there are now players with full sets of CT armor. They did the runs, they won the rolls, and they received their loot. Over time, they acquired a full set. Maybe they had to do 25 runs in a single week, but at least they got their desired piece of armor.

Can the same be said for Coil? No. I have been running Coil 1-4 for over 3 months, and I have 3 armor pieces and 2 accessory pieces, this might be considerably more than some people, I can call myself lucky, while others have been very very lucky and received much more. My last drop was on December 3rd, over a month and a half ago.

Is the CT loot lockout not fair? It seems very fair to me, 1 item per week seems like a great deal.

So worst case scenario: Would you rather do 25 runs in a week for loot? Or wait 3 months? 6 months? A year? For that one drop from Coil.

All I'm saying is, if Coil had a loot system like CT; I'd have my armor set and be very happy. The work and wait would be worth the reward. But for now? The wait is definitely not worth the reward.

I am of the opinion that Coil needs new loot rules. I'm not going to propose options, SE can figure it out, I just want everyone who complains about CT to wake the hell up and realize how good it is.

The only issue I have seen is getting ANY piece to drop for your job. When we ran CT the other day the ONLY gear that dropped after each boss was Monk. WTF?

Loot lockouts would be fine if we could gear all jobs at once.

They would also be fine if there was enough content to explore that the lockout didn't take away much of the reason to play.

Lockouts are fine alone, as artificial ways to elongate a (current) lack of content they are not fine.

They are also not fine if they force you to not make use of a feature the game is supposed to be built around (Armoury).

Wish I was with you. I still need my Fuma head piece. :(

And then BC dies because everyone is geared and the few who didn't grind it 25 times every week no longer have a real shot at getting it.

I'm complaining about CT loot lockout due to the fact that it's so difficult to get i80 armor. Sure you can only do BC once a week, but that's for the highest tier of gear available. The CT loot seems harder to get than i90 gear (BC loot and mythos gear) which just doesn't make sense. You can almost definitely get i90 gear with less effort and time compared to i80.

Don't get me wrong I do see the pros of the CT loot lockout but I still don't like it. I've been grinding my ass off for just one piece of i80 gear (bard chest) for the last 3 weeks. It has a 1/13 chance of dropping if I'm not mistaken. I'm probably gonna get the i90 chest now because I've grinded enough mythos running CT for thos 3 weeks.

how is the drop rate figured? we have a high population of Dragoons and Bards and that appears to be all that ever drops in CT.....always bard or dragoon stuff. so much gear gets abandoned and we are constantly having to spam CT hoping to find gear, meanwhile dealing with people who can't seem to cooperate and/or trolls and still not seeing gear for other classes....for the one that just finds monk gear, i need to do runs with you to get the rest of mine. lol

Your sig...omg...love. <3

Um for a on topic post... Um... I like RNG?

My only complaint about the lockout was getting stuck with stuff you don't need. At least in coil you can get the best gear for another class, even if you can't use, and still continue and get another piece later. Hell you could 4 pieces in a row in 1 week. That's nowhere near possible with CT. They are just totally different systems. The nice thing about CT is being able to run it over and over until you get what your looking for, but that's also the horrible thing about, running it over and over again lol

No possible way man. I've been doing BC for almost four months, and i've only got 4 pieces of allagan to show for all that time. I'm i90 now solely due to myth and that took months as well. I can get every i90 piece in a month and a half guaranteed. There is no way to myth to i90 in that time, and getting all the allagan in that time would be exceptionally lucky. CT gears fast enough.

And this addresses gearing up the other 8 jobs within a year when it'll be largely obsolete how, exactly?

I'm almost willing to bet I'd see that one piece of gear I need for my main class from Coil (not to mention all the alt class gear I can get) before 45 weeks go by before getting everything possible out of CT.
