FFXIV: The 1 Job at 50 Monday night raiding 8 man FC game.

[Felis]

The problem with CT is that after people get their 1 drop that week, they are less likely to join. If you don't run it early in the week, you will probably have very long queue times for it. If you thought 45 min queues for CM/PRAE were bad when people still ran it to farm for tome mats, wait until people dont need to run CT...

Isn't this a good thing for large FC?
The less another people queue for CT, the higher the chance a FC get 3 parties into the same run.

Why is it 1 or the other with everyone?

100% loot drop. 1 chest. No lockouts.

100% loot drop. 1 chest. 4 days lockout if you clear the dungeon.

Anyway, why does it matter if people gear all 9 jobs before the next patch?

Because people would start to demand the next new gears before it is ready.

Example: " All my classes have ilevel 90 gear. Even all the DoL and DoH. There is nothing to work for more. SE, give us new gears"

Mog, you are talking logic on the Official Forums.

How does this solve the problem? Instead of playing every Monday/Tuesday for coil runs, people would just play for a week or two straight, finish everything and stop logging in?

You're talking about content that came out years after launch and trying to compare it to a four month old game. Irrelevant. This game will get there but you're going to need to give it time to grow just like ffxi had.

No. I'm taking about a whole different way of doing things.


Lockouts seem to be the plan for this game period. So in 3 years we're going to have 15 events all with their one week lockout.... Fun....

You're right.

Better idea:

Or no lockout, you can get 2 items per job per week. Same 2 chests, need/greed.

Then I could go back and ***GASP*** help people in my FC.

Ok, sure. Let's remove greed and only have need then. No need for greed since you'll be locking yourself to getting 2 pieces of gear for whatever job you're going as. Perfect!

SE RNG, Guaranteed drop does not equal the one a person needs.

Need only would also require people to come on the job they want gear for.

And with the RNG from chests, people would be running it multiple times each week to try and get the drop they need.

win/win/win

Woah get out of here with your logic!

It doesn't matter, without lockouts, people would just spam until they got what they wanted and still burn through the content just as fast.
