YAY MONDAY !

[rowdey1]

is everyone else excited that its monday and you get to do your 2 hours of raiding end game progression for the whole week!!?

seriously though i really hope 2.1 isnt full of item level 80 gear and other things that are lesser tiered then coil. ( extreme primal , hard mode dungeons , CT) if they dont add SOMETHING else to do to progress my main more then 2 hours a week i fear they are going to start losing alot of people

[Dractus]

I feel the same, i think everyone is hoping that they fix this lack of anything come 2.1

Sorry to burst your bubble but it has been confirmed that Turn5 of the Coil is the 'highest' endgame we will have for the next few months until 2.2 and the release of Turn6+.

Crystal equipment will been on tier with Relic (Item Level 80), and inferior to AF2/Allagan/+1 (Item Level 90).

You will however be able to challenge 2 Hard Mode dungeons, and fight 2 Nightmare Mode Primals.

ilvl90 is the highest you can get until 2.2. ilvl80 is "middle ground" gear that shouldn't be gated. If it isn't gated then work on those gear as well as doing your " 2 hour tomb grind".

I do agree that they shouldn't be gating content, but they are doing it so people don't blow through the content, then people REALLY complain that there's nothing to do on their character.

This is a New MMO ( some people can claim it's not that it's 3 years old but whatever :P), and as a New MMO, people should have known FFXIV ARR wouldn't come with a lot of end-game. ( which is why I made a brand new character), instead of using my All 50's character).

Crystal Tower will Reset every week like the Coil. This has also already been confirmed.

I'm assuming iLvl 80 gear will get you onto playable terms with CoB so that you can simply run CoB for iLvL 90 gear as an alternative/in addition to Myth tomes to get iLvl 90 gear faster than current possible. Glad I'm not done with Darklight yet. :3

problem is even with 2 hard mode dungeons , 2 nightmare primals and CT if none of that offers any type of progression for your main then everyone will just run it once to see it .. or run all that stuff to gear out alts and skip the darklight farm.

That is all fine but the problem is running that stuff for gear on alts wont hold peoples interest for 4 more months

Even if they had upgrades for your gear, people would still whine about either the drop rate, difficulty or time it takes to do it. This player base is full of people that cannot be pleased.

I spread my adventure per week out over the whole week. By having adventure. It is a sad, sad thing that you look at this game like a chore. Perhaps -- just a thought, here -- this isn't the game for you.

Just curious.

People keep saying Crystal Tower will provide iLv 80 gear. Is this from:

1. Official source such as live letters, publicized interviews? If so could anyone please provide a source?

2. "It must be so because iLv 80 gear is missing" logic.

Which one is it? I'm genuinely curious.
