Reinheart Translations! 2.1 and 2.2

[Reinheart]

I see the loot lockout this way. Patch 2.2 is coming in three months supposedly, which means 12 weeks. Obtaining 12 new pieces of high ilvl armor before the next patch is quite a lot if you only have one or two end-game jobs. I'm personally only starting to gear up my second endgame job, so this is perfect for the casual-ish people like me. I'll be ready with two jobs for the new primals and BC content!

I doubt it will happen but I kind of wanted to see patch 2.2 to be 2 month from 2.1 since they delayed 1 month for 2.1 due to the server issues and they also said they will get the pace back to normal & if they are really working on patches in parallel like they said they are, 2.1 & 2.2 development should be going on separately meaning 2.2's release shouldn't be affected by the initial delay...

At least that's what I'm hoping lol, but most likely it's going to be 3 month

I think some people may misunderstood the different between CT "loot" lockout and coil lockout.

CT loot lockout = 1 loot, can spam runs as many times as you want to until you get one loot -> you are guaranteed to get loot every week
Coil lockout = 1 run, can get as many loots if lucky

As example my BRD didnt get anything for 8 weeks t1-t4. I obviously prefer CT loot lockout.

chest drops at the end, an everyone is leaving anyway?

Unless they have a totally different system than they have for every single dungeon and Coil so far then loot drops after each boss. There is more than one boss in CT. If a player wins an item from the first boss what incentive do they have to keep going? None.

Give us maps that let us find special gathering nodes.

Yes please! I always wanted gatherer content... even fates. Dunno how you could do that, but I'm sure some imaginative person could come up with something.

People seem to think Crystal Tower will have the same loot layout as regular Dungeons, or maybe it does and I've just missed that information. Seems more sensible for loot to be the same as Coil Turn 1 though; not after every mini-boss, but after the final boss.

Heck, the Lodestone page for Crystal Tower ended with;

* Each party in an alliance will receive a treasure box, the contents of which are restricted to their party.

So until a community rep says otherwise, I'm assuming there is one chest at the end of Crystal Tower for each party.

That brings up another issue. If this was a static running it, they might have a reason to keep going, loot for the other members. But in a PuG? I wouldn't do it myself, but I can easily see people doing this. And without being able to static a full alliance yet, a very real possibility.

I'm pretty sure you're going to hear a lot of stories about people getting their one loot item and then leaving the party in a CT group. So, everyone will have fun with that, I'm sure.

Ummm...myth tomes? You'd only get myth after killing the final boss so if people leave early, no myths for them. Myth cap will be raised to 450 so people will need a lot of them.

1 week loot lockout on CT effectively kills it, even more-so than before.

I love this game. Played in 1.0 when it was horrible. Got all of my classes to 50 in 1.0. The biggest selling point of this game was that you could be all classes on one character. However, it's obvious based on the artificial myth cap (which by itself isn't horrible) and the1 week lockout for loot in Crystal Tower, makes having multiple classes on one character THE WORST PART of the game. So you're telling me I have to stick to one job and one only to be able to gearup with myth and now crystal tower? Fine you can do 2 if the content patches are spread out, but that just means if you're dedicated and enjoy multiple classes, you ahve to pick one and leave the others behind.

Tell me this, what is the incentive to go back to Crystal tower if I got my drop the first day. Yes, I can help FC members, but I'm beholden to 16 other people I don't even know on whether we beat the content.

It's obvious that YoshiP and the team are artificially trying to keep the "balance" between casuals and people who have more time. They dont' want someone who plays 5 hours a day to have multiple gear sets for many classes while casuals can only have 1.

This is so disapointing to me beyond words. As the biggest YoshiP fan, he has failed on this BIG TIME!!!!

I doubt that the final boss is going to drop 12 pieces of gear all at once.

I think you'll still find people will prefer SRs because there's less random element with the at least 16 other people you don't know and the fact that people are much more familiar with running WP SRs "efficiently".
