Crystal Tower: Do we really have to wait 6 months just to enter the actual tower?

[McStagger]

Agreed, they should have held back the release of any new content another 3+ months just to give us something the OP feels would be meaningful. We cannot be happy with anything so give us all of it now.

Also, new content clearly grows on trees and can simply be plucked and tossed right into the existing game, so no excuses there.

After spending so much time with WoW content which is released way overtuned for the world first races and then nerfed over time I'm actually kind of satisfied with what little I've heard of and seen of the content. Certainly I think it'd be good to see at least two raids but I feel like the whole "we have to wait 6 months to unlock the next level!" thing is sort of distracting and diminishing the point. Would it really be a problem if 2.2 saw the next BC Turn and some additional unrelated raid content?

Because there's more to 2.1 than just one dungeon.

Maybe they felt that many players would see that as well.

Hell, I've only done maybe 40% of this patch so far, many quest lines haven't even been started yet.

Though grinding out CT for tomes is nice, longer than AK was, but not by much. Last night's best run had everything done in about 40 minutes. Smooth.

I'm not saying there isn't enough content. What I am saying is that they said they put the Crystal Tower in 2.1 and now it looks like they only put in the Ancient Maze.

[LoLo]

I'm fine with it because I know 2.2 isn't just going to be Coil, just like 2.1 wasn't just CT. Levithan and Ramuh are schedule to make an appearance. Possible roaming Primals will finally come out. New dungeons and HM/EX content is a given. They might even have different 24 man content that isn't related to CT.

Basically as long as they deliver on the content I'm happy.

This thread isn't about there being no content overall. This is only focusing on the Crystal Tower.

I knew there would be people that come in here treating me as if I want everything handed to me now. Why? Because there are people who come into threads who do not read the OP and only reply to the title of the thread.

You're just making such an esoteric point. What if 2.2 just swapped BC for CT, well then we'd be waiting even LONGER for that new turn of BC. It's the same problem. If you have no issue with the amount of content then you should understand that this was inevitable.

I didn't suggest any of that.

Uh no you didn't but if we just ADD the Tower portion of CT to the extra turn of BC in 2.2 then isn't that more content? That's not what you're asking for right? I'm just assuming we can have one or the other given that 2.1 only had one raid thing in it.

What is wrong with asking for more content anyway? Just be aware in your original post it sounds like you got to the end of Ancient Maze and were confused why you couldn't get into the Crystal Tower and have more of a raid, that is literally being unsatisfied with the amount of content. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

SE said that during release of 2.0 they had both the CT and Coil ready. However they felt they needed to test the CT more. So I assume, and I could be wrong, that the first floor (Ancient Maze) was already created and done by release of FFXIV 2.0. So from release to now, they didn't make a single floor in the CT? Do you expect me to believe that? What is wrong with releasing one floor in the CT along with the floors for Coil in 2.2 to make up for no floors inside the actual tower in 2.1?

hasn't been the case for a few years. Heroic SoO took less than a month to be cleared.
