Proposed Crystal Tower Changes (+Dungeon)

[Tlamila]

My group last night had *FOUR* black mages in it. One of the other groups in the alliance had none. Why couldn't the mages have been more evenly distributed around the alliance? Of the four drops we received, one was for dragoons, and another for bards. Better diversity among the parties in Labyrinth would be good both for the individual fights (Atomos with four monks...?), and for ensuring that gear drops end up where they're needed.

Atomos with three/four monks/dragoons. That's what I've seen everytime lately, it's very frustrating. I thought it was just because now that those classes are buffed everybody plays them, but if you talk me about 4black mages...eh.
On topic, making everybody want to play melees and introducing a new battle that requires ranged...doesn't seem quite well thought.

they really need to discontinue the join and join in progress as a simultaneous option. It should be one or ther other. You want to spam for end boss fine do so but at least you won't be holding up the 20+ other people who have been waiting 40 minutes to start.

Please no. how would that be holding anyone up. if nothing else, it would make your que shorter with someone getting an opening quicker.
I personally use join in progress because i'm not worried about getting the first boss or the second. on the converse i'm concerned about skipping ahead. i simply use it o make things quicker. joining a party where someone had to leave or rage quit. Doing so, i take myself out of the line faster so that others can que up quicker as a result

You misread I didn't say remove join in progress I said don't enable people to join both from the beginning and in progress queues. There will still be an in progress queue. How many times do you spam df before you get a 2/4? That's the problem. This morning had group formed in <30 minutes but it was another 40 or withdraw spam from people looking for in progress. If they were in there own seperate queue, start time would have been a lot shorter 30 min < 70 minutes.

No one realizes you dont need to actually attack atomos, until all his adds are dead. then he just sits there, and everyone can go fight him.

So if the tanks pull back, the melee can beat on the adds all they want.

I would like to see greeding not count as your weekly loot. At least then I can gear up a monk and dragoon alt since that is all I've ever seen drop the majority of runs.

I also wish the waist items be separated from the rest. I hate seeing a waist item in one of the chests. I see it as a waste of run. I have been trying to get the casting shoes and it has been hell.

I think the reset period for CT is too long. I think it should be reset every 3-5 days, not once a week. iLevel 90 is the top end stuff and this is supposed to be an entry level dungeon/ raid to progress towards Binding Coil, so shouldn't we be trying to get into Coil ASAP rathar then taking 3-5 weeks to get ilevel 80 sets to go into Coil?

I know Turn 1 and 2 (not sure about 3 and 4) can be done with Darklight, but I know I'm still waiting to get at least a few more pieces before stepping into Coil, just to be better geared for it, would make me feel more comfortable as a tank.

[Orberon]

i here ya katchii i have 1 piece of il 80 gear from ct and already almost half done my IL 90 set in 3 weeks i find the reset period is stupid when you can grind out IL 90 set in half the time it would take you to get a full IL 80 set

[Little_Gray]

I agree that it is incredibly stupid that greeding uses up your loot per week. Allowing people to win one need and however many greeds would be a great improvement. It would cause less loot to be tossed to the ground and would help people in gearing up other classes.
