Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

[darkstarpoet1]

it's funny that people complained about a 72 hour spawn window on nm's in xi, but support a weekly lockout in xiv...... some people will support anything this group of devs do.

You're assuming the Duty Finder is going to find a replacement. When someone drops in WP/AK the duty finder almost never replaces them and we have to quit/start over.

It's hard to find replacements in WP/AK because people don't use the join in-progress option.

It won't be hard to find replacements in CT because people will use the join in-progress option.

Why? Because other pepole will drop half-way, forcing some alliances to disband. Those who disbanded will not mind joining in-progress because there's no point joining fresh. So as more groups disband half-way, more people will join in-progress, so replacements are easier to find, and less people will drop half-way.

Yes it's optimistic, but it's optimistic based on the fact that CT is inherently different to WP/AK. That difference needs to be considered when we look at the replacement situation in CT.

Today, I am sorely tempted to let my sub lapse at the end of the month. That's the only vote of no confidence I can express other than bringing up my discontent here. I want to play the game more, to progress me. Allow me. Please.

I talked to my wife today about it I'm thinking of not subbing after my 3 months is up until 2.2 comes out and that's if its going to get any better.......

True that. It sucks that CT is a week loot lockout but it should have been 72hrs ( I was hoping 1hr) ; ;

don't get me wrong. i do not mind an established game having a log lockout. i do have a major issue with a new game having that same lockout.

in other words after a game has been out a while and there are tons of content and options on what to do i don't mind not running something over and over, but when a game first releases there is only a fraction of the content needed to keep a playerbase. when a game first releases everything they have in game should be able to be ran like av and cc were in 1.0. give a small lockout after clearing, but have a low droprate. it keeps people playing that content, but allows them something to do other than sign in and run something once and then log out because there's nothing else left.

Like I said, instead a weekly loot lockout (not dungeon lockout), a 5% dropchance for loot would be better.
Maybe not 5%, but something like the droprate from darklight body in 1.0. And after 6 month, change it to weekly loot lockout with increased dropchance and the people would be happy.

this i agree with completely. it extends the content, but it gives you things to do until more stuff is put in.

I played FFXI for a long time so I'm use to lockouts but a week is just stupid. If the loot Lockout was 72hrs I could live with it. But this doesn't have much End Game content to keep most of us playing more than a few hours a week. Drop Rates make them low that's fine as long as I can run content over and over and be rewarded with something I want phil/myth can burn in hell.


People want to bring up the "Well you should have burned through content" crap again. What happens in 6 months when everyone (Causals) are in the same boat most of us are in with these lockouts and only logging In a few times a week?

And I don't see why anyone should be crying about who burns through content to fast, Do you pay their monthly subs? Start paying my subs and I won't ever say a damn thing about "there's not enough content". I would rather be able to burn through content at my pace and have nothing else to do, Than to be told I can only do it so many times per week.



There will be other content in 2.1 you say? Lockout on Extreme Primals loot too. PVP you say? Sounds like fun punching someone in the face with my MNK, But if I want to PVP I'll hop back on some BF4

If anything they need to change the lockout to per job. I so wanted to keep playing but with stuff like this I can see where the future of this game is going and its not good.
2.2 we'll be in the same boat.


Locking out gear which is not BIS is not helping the casual players in playing gear catch up like Yoshi wants.

this is starting to get stupid. :\ wth lockouts for ilvl 80? whats the point>

Yes, I know.
AV and CC, day for day, week for week, month for month, only with the hope that there could be a darlight gear for you now ^^
i think i did it for 3 months and got 2 pieces.

Proof that people aren't looking for something to do, but instead something to get.

People have been clamoring for Loot Lockout in Coil, instead of full lockout, so that they have something to entertain them, we get exactly that for CT and lo and behold it's not good enough.

Hate to say it, but if you are looking for a game that will keep you entertained a full week when you refuse to do anything but the absolute top tier endgame and only if you personally can get a shiny out of it, MMOs are not for you. Maybe try something like League of Legends or DoTA?

Implying I care about gear. I've said multiple times I care not for gear as much as anyone else.
Look at what I'm wearing now lol. I mean I'd get the gear for looks and that's about it
I just want to do shit in this game and not be restricted every which way we go.
FYI, I played LoL from time to time, and their community is slightly better than this one.
That's saying something
People log on to do coil and that's it. Some what's next? Do CT and that is it a whole week.
Why we paying for something that we get locked out on? I mean it's a P2P game.
Quit locking us out on stuff.
