I seriously hate the loot system for Crystal Tower.

[Sinth]

How to solve these situations:

1. No chests spawn until the final boss is downed. Then all chests appear in a horde of loot.
2. Players can vote to concede. A successful vote to concede returns all players to the start of the dungeon and spawns chests for bosses that were downed during the raid. The starting area is walled off.
3. When time limit expires, all players are immediately returned to beginning of instance (which is walled off) and all loot chests from downed bosses appear. Ample time is given to loot chests before the raid is booted from the instance.

PROBLEM SOLVED

CT is a guaranteed drop for you once a week.
Coil is a possible drop once a week.

If CT had no lockout at all, the ilvl requirement to get in would need to be set at 70 or everything that is not CT gear becomes obsolete the moment you reach 50. I like the system, i can keep running till i see the one drop i want and get that, Versus running Coil once a week for months on end and never seeing my item drop.

I que as my blm all the time, longest I've ever been in que was 4 minutes...

But yeah, the lockout system is beyond retarded. SE needs to remove it, like stat.

TBH, I don't care if the lockout system exists, but they need to fix it so the lockout is per class of gear. E.g. 1 piece of tank gear, 1 piece of healer gear, 1 piece of caster dps, 1 piece of melee dps. They should just do the lockout based on the Job Req on the gear.

Lockout Types-
-MNK/PGL
-GLD/MRD/PLD/WAR
-CNJ/WHM/SCH
-THM/BLM//SMN
-BRD
-LNC/DRG

Rings say all classes on them though, but CT doesn't drop rings.

You should be able to que as pld, and take a piece of tank gear, then que as blm and take a piece of caster gear etc, every week.

Personally I have never seen an item hit the ground.

I've done CT where every single item in our party got trashed.

The lock out should be on a per boss basis at the very least, not once per entire run.

CT is a guaranteed drop for you once a week.

Not guaranteed at all. You could run CT every day for a week and never see a drop to roll on and, even if you do, there's no guarantee you'll win it.

Hmmm.... for people who have been doing coils alot and have less luck with drops, they usually find loot system in CT far more forgiving.

And I have no complaints with current loot system in CT. It is already a guarantee drop like in normal dungeon, albeit the lockout after single reward gotten though. It might get harder the closer your gear set near completion, but it's still a guarantee.

Nothing better than killing last boss, while watching cs your whole PT leave, and you find in your inventory an item you dont even want getting locked for whole week. Amazing system design SE.

That's the major flaw I see. A friend of mine got locked out of the drop she wanted after everyone passed and left. She ended up with some BRD pants, when she just wanted DRG gear. And now she has to wait a week. That definitely needs to be removed.

People bitch about dungeon lockout and say "well it should just be loot lockout!"
We get loot lockout
People bitch about loot lockout
I suggest for 2.2 floors 6-10 of BC they be harder than turns 1-5 but not drop anything.
Seriously other MMO's do the same thing.

No, what some people suggested was lock the loot not the content for 24 hours, not a full week. Not only that but they were talking about Bahamut's Coil, not new content..which by the way isn't even new, but rather delayed regressive content that was supposed to be done before you tackled Coil.

I'm looking back at suggestions and I seen not one request to lock loot for a week or more lol.

Seriously other MMO's do the same thing.

Any many MMOs do not - A lot of ARR's problems is trying to copy what other MMOs does but the other MMOs does it better.

[Martumal]

So much wasted loot.

[KiraJ]

So much wasted time complaining and QQing. Seriously...in front of that community SE will never be able to do anything right but that not only goes for SE...players nowadays are just a bunch of complaining people without any values. (And i don't mean everyone on the forums here, i know there are other people but they rarely post)

Guys, what about just playing the game or gtfo and play something else, RL would be a solution aswell, see if your behaving gets you any progress out there.
