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

[Lukahn]

We've known this has been coming for months, so I'm not sure why you would expect anything different..... Sure it was a little wonky how they released it, but future content will be released in order and this adds a nice progression for future characters.

Oh and how about you run it because it will be new and fun?

[Kallera]

Bumping this for the hilarity that we can get 1 item a week from the instance now. So much for using it to gear alts and get vanity gear huh?

Now even casuals can experience what it's like to run one piece of content and having nothing else to do the rest of the week! And just so you know, one piece of ilvl 80 gear a week isn't going to help you finish Coil either, especially when you can get an ilvl 90 item every other week.

100% waste of development time.

It seems they are trying to intentionally curtail progression, suerly they understand that this will eventually hurt interest in the game? The Dev team clearly underestimated the progression rate of the MMO community, especially once guides and Youtube Videos are released.

Personally I have no reason what so ever to run CT other than to get the unlocks the 1st time. CT is pointless and should have been launched with the game but wasnt. What they should have done was delayed the original launch when it was ready. They dropped the ball on this and I am willing to bet that because players have to wait til 2.2 its gonna hurt them.

Will never understand this mentality. I don't "need" to kill Titan, yet I do it because it's fun and it's typically to help fc members get their relic clear. Same with other content. I mean, I guess have fun sitting in Mor'Dhona yelling "YOU CANT MAKE ME DO CT".

When everyone has their relic, what will Titan have left then? It's weapons were already doomed to alts and mules,and Garuda is much easier to speedrun...

This is the part I don't get. They've clearly acknowledged that they messed that up initially, since they're increasing the weekly myth cap this patch. But then, in the same patch, they give us another limit to progression that's very obviously too low. I don't mind the whole artificial limitation of progress thing, but at least make the amount bearable. Three items a week or something like that would still stop someone from theoretically farming all i80 in one week, while still letting people feel like they accomplished something more significant.

LoL @ OP whining about about having rushed the game and now being bored out of his mind. How about do the content be cause its fun? With friends? Get your priorities in order.

People do this...but why does even the developer of the game know most MMO players mostly care about loot? You can run Cape Westwind for fun and with friends, I don't see people falling overthemselves and clogging up the DF to do it - I use CW as an example a lot because it's the perfect example of "why not do x for fun?"

One the great coaches alive. He will just say this. Team work and friends boardwalk it out. While the rest are like were to go.

Yeah, I hear ya man. I understand we do content for the epic gears, and I can totally understand that. Even I want those epic gears. However, once you obtain X gear, that content magically becomes not fun anymore? That's what I don't get. Play the game to have fun.

9 Month progress with 1 week lockouts of obtaining anything? Even the most 'hardcore fan' wouldn't put up with that. Generally speaking, you play single player games for fun and excitement, MMORPGs you play for fun and loot. If you take the loot out of the equation, people will go to the "next fun thing" where they can get loot. You can barely even do CT for vanity gear at this point.

CT's "fun" potential won't be realized for a very long time, since they alternate every 3 months between CT and Coil, it won't be until 6 months from now will they extend it and add in additional bosses (Cloud of Darkness and Gilgamesh most likely won't be in this early but who knows.)
