LOL@ Yoshi P's response to why Coil raiders should do Crystal Tower

[Maxthunder]

I will run it for the clear, any possible story and just to have done it.

If it is fun and rewards ToM and the gear looks nice I will run and rerun it.

Well re-run it may not be an option as we can not take a full 24 manned FC run. Also the fact that we will have 2 other random groups of 8, seems to be more of a disaster waiting to happen. Finally I believe Yoshi said it would take 90-120 mins to complete so I am not even sure players will want to re-run it but we will see soon enough. Now this may change depending on how many myth we actually get for each time we complete it, possibly 50 maybe 60 myth? I cant see them giving too much more than that.

The whole '3 parties of 8' thing is a different matter entirely. I am disappointed that I can't do a full FC run.

I'm willing to bet that CT is going to be like coil and will have several floors and be awarded tomes when you complete your floor. You are right, it probably won't be 50 tomes a floor like coil.

However I am less worried about ToM per hour than having some variety how I farm it.

Point taken but in all honesty running dungeons is getting really old. How about they make meaningful challenging open world content? I dont mean more fates like odin and bemouth, they really are not challenging due to the fact that they keep disappearing and reappearing. Its more of a major annoyance than anything else. i mean in 4 months they could have come up with something.

I'm with ya.

From my blog:

Instanced vs. Openworld
There are pros and cons to both. If you go with all openworld you risk the possibility of losing an NM to another player or a camp to another party as well as it allows you to bring 20 of your friends to go do something that was probably balanced towards being a challenge to a party of 8. If you go all instanced then you lose the feeling of a persistent world where you will never see anyone except your LS mates and there are no competitive activities of any kind. You would never come across that level 20 CNJ getting their butt kicked by Alux and swoop in with a cure and make a new friend. It would be a cold and lonely world.

Sumasu Sisters Say:
We think nearly everything in the game should be Openworld except those situations where it makes sense to go with instanced.

Things that make sense would be:

• Dungeons and NM battles that are balanced to be a challenge to a party.
• We can't really think of anything else...

Something that takes effort for a party to even travel safely to. Something not marked on the map in a blue circle.
