Please Release a Difficult 24-Man

3) please don't create grave assumptions & in doing so disrupt the useful conversation.

You're the one creating assumptions. CT was originally set for release at a much harder rate, but the gear plan itself was not. Their plans was always in alternation, it just wasn't tweaked right.. And Yoshi even stated that he intended for this progression.

If you ever managed to scrub though the CT interview section. CT itself was not hard like ilvl hard. It was gimick hard in that there was too high of a ceiling for error then they wanted it. Basically think of almost every fight that ended up like atamos. Except instead of 4 people on the platform we had 6, etc.

Same CT with less derps.

If you're claiming that I am putting words in SE's mouth, you're tripling it.

Developers made it clear that they wanted a "end game focus" then a "catch up focus" alternation. You are so focus on the 1st that you are ignoring the 2nd.

Yea it was postponed but it was still intended to fit between AK and coil.

As you said coil was a lot harder than intended because people were attempting it in the wrong gear, which was kind of my point.

I have been thinking however... I would be totally fine with 16-man rather than 24, which I think would make for a fine compromise.

Not too hard to manage nor collect members, could be ever so slightly 'easier' than BC to accommodate for the increased # of participants. It could drop interim gear between that of 24-man CT & 8-man BC (i85).

Thoughts?

Sounds good, too good to happen :P

I wasn't putting words in your mouth or SE's mouth. I was telling you that you were putting words in the mouth of the person you were judging prior (which was true).

And I have managed to scrub through the CT interview. I am well aware of these things... my point still stands. Yoshi did state he intended for this progression, but not in such an order which is the point I was making. It was intended to come at launch alongside BC1-5.

I really hope the new CT in 2.3 drops i95. Needs to be more challenging than LotA & fill a gap not currently present (shouldn't equal Soldiery, in yet we have plenty of avail. i90 atm).
