I seriously hate the loot system for Crystal Tower.

[Badger]

One item per week is stupid for a multitude of reasons.

1. People don't roll greed, so items get wasted.
2. People don't roll need on items they genuinely need because they're looking for a specific slot, perhaps to cure their case of clown disease.
3. People accidentally roll greed because the game allows this everywhere else without any penalty and end up with items they didn't actually need but can't loot anything else for the week.

Please fix this. This is beyond stupid and infuriating.

But but but, they want to stretch out the content and give value to their player base!

nothing value about limiting you, 7 days.

like says heres this new car, but you can only drive it once a week.

Artificial content gating to prolong the advancement of player progress in order to cover for a slow development cycle.

Or

"ACGTPTAOPPIOTCFASDC" for short.

Except you don't even need CT to progress, so they undermined their own lock some 4 months before it even came out.

The original project of all this new content (primals included) was to give a hope to someone out of a coil premade group to join Coil wearing maybe (if lucky getting the loot) even better gear than the player on the core group.
Sadly, devs forgot the community attitude : not even wearing a full 80 CT gear + 90 primals gear + primal weapon a casual is gonna find a spot kicking out a lower geared one.
This content is definitively arrived when not needed, lockout surely dig it.

And like the OP pointed we need just for the sake of it, waiting vanity update. Or maybe it's just bad habit to greed around locking out the loot with some CT gear for your lv5 pally lol


I lost the count of how many times we asked a loot with a minimal sense (no drop for a class not playing in the group opening the chest) for Coil, and now CT.

Fix the need when not needed?
Simple: not just the chest must be coherent with the group composition, but also able to detect the gear owned by the player (regardless if the item is on armoire/retainer) then try again to need it "for the sake of vanity slots , screw the guy needing a gear update"

To be honest I like the way the loot system works.

You can do coil in DL. You don't *need* ilevel80 gear. Yeah it's nice to have to fill in some blanks or gear alts but I really wouldn't be annoyed that I couldn't roll on that i80 piece because I already got a piece that week.

Maybe it's because I spent so long being unlucky with coil drops that I like the fact I can rerun the dungeon and anything I get is a bonus?

You like how gear goes to waste that someone could use on one of their many alts that no one else wanted? Really? Back in my day, people loved being able to obtain gear that dropped, not see it fall to the floor because they don't want to risk not being able to lot on something else for a whole week.

I do think there should be some restriction on when you can get loot in Crystal Tower, but only getting one piece a week is over the top. I think people would be more inclined and open to casting lots on other gear if the restriction was lifted to 3-4 days instead of a whole week. Biggest problem to me overall is the fact that this great gear is dropping to the floor only because people have specific pieces they want first like the pants or body. I can't say I have an answer, but developers should make adjustments to justify loot being dropped to the floor.

lol, well said... especially the last sentence, I haven't been able to get the drops I want in coil, so CT does serve as a nice consolation prize since you can run it all week until you get that i80 you want/need ...and the gear doesn't look half bad either
