So, waiting 6-7 months inbetween coils for endgame is incredibly disappointing. Adding a Hard Mode Crystal Tower during the release of the normal mode would satisfy a lot of the endgamers cravings for more content, while keeping the game extremely casual for those that like that as well.
Yoshi already stated they had taken several mechanics out of the original CT to dumb it down for the duty finder. Leaving these mechanics in, and giving the enemies some buffs doesn't seem like it would be that much more work to make the game a million times better and increase its longevity.
Almost every large FC was looking forward to challenging 24man content. We've all come to understand that the super causal market is where the $$$ is at, but please don't forget about your loyal fanbase that enjoys challenging endgame content!
Crystal Tower Hard Mode please

Totally agree! I would like it to be much harder and for the butthurt to be epic when mistakes are made. It's way to faceroll at the current level.

They already said that they have no plan of increasing the difficulty of CT beyond the current level (which is actually an ultra-nerfed version of their first version of CT that was never released). So you can imply that there will be no chance for a hard mode and that CT will not cater to those seeking a challenge.
As a fellow player who wish this game to succeed, I plea you to complain in one of the bigger thread regarding lack of challenging contents. -
03-09-2014, 12:08 PMLibby9Obviously, the Hard Mode version would be left out of the Duty Finder :)Quote:

Crystal is so easy and long I don't even run it anymore... Not to mention the final boss is a joke... At least you can wipe on behemoth...!!!

03-09-2014, 01:10 PMwhoopeeragonI consider the first set of trash mobs to be the most challenging part of the whole Labyrinth.Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't it supposed to alternate between Coil and CT, with it getting harder each patch? I mean, obviously things got a little messed up with LotA releasing after Coil, but still.

Crystal Tower still hasn't even released. What we have is still just the maze protecting it.
-
03-09-2014, 03:23 PMNamasuLet's not bring silly technicality in this. Even the dev team had been referring the whole thing as crystal tower even if the labyrinth of the ancients is just the "front-gate"Quote:

I just get wasted before entering crystal tower, then it turns into hard mode.

All they need to do is remove the shiny aoe warnings and no one will be able to clear it...haha

03-09-2014, 05:01 PMVolsung
yes please, but not until we can make alliances on same server lol
randoms in normal mode is bad enough!! xD -
03-09-2014, 06:34 PMFelis
i guess before CT hard mode there come first Aurun Vale hard mode.
And second, the only dungeons who are getting a hard mode are the ones in the low level dungeon section (Sastasha - Aurun Vale).
Because it would be impossible to do the mechanics in a random alliance.Quote:

Imagine the platform mechanic in the Atomos fight in every boss fight with a random alliance. -

How about more unique content more often? We're already doomed to hard mode dungeons every patch it seems. SE should be capable of keeping up with WoW
-
03-09-2014, 06:44 PMFelisAnd a complete new dungeon in every patch, tooQuote:

03-09-2014, 09:25 PMDelsusYou mean to keep up with a game that has a 9 year head start? So to keep up with it SE would be required to surpass it massively.Quote:

The problem with CT are the trolls. Everyrun they find a way for ruin the fun of everyone.
I agree with a CT hardmode
1.- Ilv85+, this will keep away most the trolls ilv55.
2.- You need 100 commendations for have acess.
3.- Remove the 8 man limit via party finder.
You can create via party finder the entire alliance, or you can get 20 people and use the other 4 missing spots via DF. -
03-09-2014, 09:40 PMDelsusThe problem with this is point 2, what if you do all runs fully made up of FC members, or you only use the party finder and only go when you are full. These kinds of people won't be able to get the commendations.Quote:

03-10-2014, 02:41 AMXatshI refuse to run with pugs at endgame... honestly none of endgame should be in Duty finder in my opinion.Quote:

How you think so many people have gold mounts... trust me the majority are not getting them the way SE designed it. It is the same way people are getting to capped level pvp by going in against mule partys and just having them stand still while you kill them. Easy rank up.
But here is a question. SE said coil will always be the best gear in the game at least until the expansion. So why would we want a harder version that will give us subpar garbage? CT is a joke now but as long as they want it to be "Casual" it will always be a joke. SE is too scared to piss off the casual gamers who demand everything handed to them with no time put into it. -

Ha, the state of the Crystal Tower run I had before, it is already hard mode for some people.
