SE you need to change Crystal Tower ivl55 requirement to ilvl70.

[Arkista]

Maybe we should wait to see what the content is like before we start complaining about the ilvl requirement. You are all arguing a case without having any facts or experience one way or another. I am not saying you are wrong or right, but it doesn't make sense to try and make a good argument when you don't have all the pertinent information yet.

For one it's not going to happen. For two the whole point to the thread is about the Crystal Tower Loot Lockout. I could care less if the ilvl requirement was 1 or 90. What I do care about is the fact that SE is putting a weekly lockout on gear that isn't even BIS and Yoshi P said

"While the equipment you can purchase with Allagan tomestones of mythology and the equipment you obtain from the Binding Coil of Bahamut are comparatively stronger, we'll be implementing the vanity system in patch 2.2 which will allow you to change the appearance of your character's equipment, so we hope you use it for the equipment you find in Crystal Tower".

"You'll be able to collect the equipment to use in conjunction with the upcoming vanity system and also gear up your secondary classes and jobs".

So he hope that those of us who are pass the ilvl80 stage will us CT to get gear for vanity or to gear up secondary classes/jobs....

How are we suppose to do that with weekly lockouts get it?

The only reason we have lockouts is so the current content we have doesn't become obsolete and that way people cant burn through content before new stuff is released. We know this that's fine but a ONE WEEK LOCKOUT! on gear that isn't even BIS is absolutely ridiculous!

When I 1st heard of the lockout I was thinking 24hr but a WEEK! It should be 72hrs at the most. Now if we had plenty of content that was enjoyable then adding in lockout after lockout would be fine but we don't have it.

I see the biggest reason for the lockout is to prevent stuff from becoming obsolete. Lets take Pharos new dungeon the gear is suppose to be ilvl60, Crystal Tower is ilvl55 requirement so having such a low ilvl would bypass all new content they added if there were no lockouts one could simply get WP gear and go from ilvl55 to ilvl80 in a week if they spammed CT and had good luck.

Why did they add in a new dungeon when the game already has AK for ilvl60 gear? Why couldn't the gear be ilvl75?

I may eat my words later down the road but going by 2.1, SE is going down the wrong path again with FFXIV and there isn't going to be FFXIV A Realm Reborn Again...

They may get it together but its not going to happen until 2.2 or later


Its been like 2 days now and not one Rep has come out and said anything regarding the lockout and we have 11days until 2.1.

You know I just thought about another thing.

Crystal Tower is useable in duty finder and we are allowed to make an 8 man party server side. With the week lockout on loot who is going to want to run it as a static?

It makes running CT as a static nearly impossible (unless 8 people have nothing else better to do). Its not like CoB when you finish if you don't get gear better luck next week. And everyone meets up again.

Crystal Tower isn't going to be static friendly. Once people start getting gear and they cap out on (myth) there isn't an incentive to keep going. Yah they may want to help their other friends get a piece of gear, But are people really going to run Crystal tower over and over and over all week long to get their last member a piece of gear? what if it takes 15-20 runs to get a piece of gear to drop that the last few people need?

And I though Crystal Tower was suppose to be content for FCs to do... Can't make 24 man alliance until after 2.2, Have to run Crystal Tower countless times without any rewards after your piece for the week.


If this isn't a valid argument on why Crystal Tower shouldn't have a lockout then I don't know what is...................
