Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

stuff

That sounds like an individual problem. Let's say the lock out is 24 hours; 7 pieces a week of i80 for an alt sounds pretty darn good. You can (with lucky drops) fully gear out an alt in 10-11 days. Why do you need to have end game gear for all your alts at a moment's notice? How is that (assuming it's around 24 hours) not amazing and time efficient?

I also haven't seen one post where the majority of the people weren't wearing at least 3-4 pieces of i90 to beat twintania (which would essentially put their gear average ilevel just below 80). Crafted i70 with materia (essentially making it closer to i80 than i70) doesn't count.

The lock out stuff is so people just dont breeze over the little content there is. For some of us the Game is a Monday only game which sucks. And the trolls for this are gonna be horrible. people are just gonna leave the duty once they get what they need.

Considering you get both kinds of tomes from it, I know I'll be doing that right away (and it would make sense to do CT the first thing you do when you play after a reset to get an i80 AND Myth Tomes). And as long as the reward of tomes at the end of the dungeon isn't crap, most people will finish the dungeon simply for that.

Hopefully it's a week long lockout, just like coil.

Is it 1 peice of gear per xxx hours? so max gear you could get from CT is 1?

Yes. Plus both tome types when completed.

See, this really wastes the content they do have... Rather than giving people Mythology farming, Crystal Tower and Coil, they've decided to lump Mythology farming with everything. I never particularly enjoyed running the dungeons over and over, but it at least had its place. Now? Well, knowing my luck I'll cap Mythology before getting anything in Crystal Tower, without even touching Coil, and that isn't factoring in things like Dailies (which are hopefully just Philosophy). Dungeons literally seem to be for the casuals alone now... People who aren't geared, or in a group, to challenge Crystal Tower or Coil... Glad they get some variation at least...

This is why I hate the Mythology cap, not because I'm against the notion of a cap in the first place, but because the cap is so ridiculously easy to reach. If they made Mythology harder to get by halving the number you get from everything, OK people would probably be annoyed, but at least they'd (currently) be playing twice as long. I'd much rather complain that the cap is too hard to reach and I occasionally don't reach it as a result, than complain that it takes a single day to be done with the whole thing... This will be twice they've made it easier to cap, which is the complete wrong direction to take, though I guess it can at least partially be balanced out with the cap rise, maybe it wont be so bad and Crystal Tower will drop similar amounts to Primals though...

Can already see it now. Player gets loot ---> drops because they have no further use of CT outside of the first clear.

Ontop of the fact that it's going to be a mess in general since it's duty finder.

How many drops do you regularly get in coils? per week?

If you're lucky, 1.

Yeah, the restriction better only apply to the run you're currently in and wear off the instant you leave.

Good question and something that should be asked for the upcoming Live Letter. Personally I hope it's one piece of loot per run. Any longer than that and it'll defeat the purpose of making it content that's made for the Duty Finder.
