CT Part 2 and gear - will it just be i100 at this point?

[Craiger]

it seems like you are ignoring the fact that the first ct was late. because of that one fact, it kind of has to stay with ct coming after coil. as many have said, the only way to make ct2 relevant is i100, and possible tome/sand/oil.

And Novus "spheres".

Yes, make it drop ilvl100 gear (lock-out) and Novus spheres, but not "tome/sand/oil"

CT2 should be relevant, but not the main hub for all progression... ilvl100 gear will be very relevant even when 2.3 comes out, cause Sands of time drops from Turn 8 and 9, and the majority of players haven't even got there. Even when you get there, it will take a long time to get all of your pieces upgraded.

That alone would be enough, but Novus spheres would make it even more relevant.

EDIT: To make myself a little more clear, I know that if you have spent all Soldiery on your main job, you might already have everything that would drop in CT2 at ilvl100 (assuming it won't drop accessories) But it could still be very much relevant for your main, cause they will probably make it have different stats than the Soldiery gear, and you could probably get better stats for some of the gear. There are a lot of bad gear out there right now.

I feel like 105 would be a bit too strong from CT2. Stronger than weathered gear that can take 2 weeks for a single piece of armor is a bit... well, I'm sure it'd be a bit of a whiplash

That's why I kinda think i95 will be more reasonable, or at best i100.

Well, do not forget that everyone and their mama will likely have full iLvl 100 or very close to it at the time of it's release. That was not the case in 2.1. CT

All I can say is that if it's i95, don't expect to see people run it for anything more than vanity slots or alts.

Exactly. Making it anything less than 100 will make it totally pointless from the start, except for vanity purposes.

Well se has it all messed up with CT and coil. Always releasing CT after a new installment of coil.
Should be CT-> coil -> CT
Not
Coil -> CT -> coil -> CT
So imo i100 will only be plausible if they decide to make more oil/ sand drops.

The problem lies in the fact CT was released in 2.1, way too late in the day
whereas it should of been released at the beginning, as it was suppose to be a stepping stone to Coil.
They messed it up and will only have it fixed if they released Coil later, and make another CT3 before Third Coil
and people will be pissed so that won't happen lol.
Just kinda have to deal with how it's set up now because of their earlier mistake.

CT is good for newbies, alt's and vanity's. CT helped me jump into Coil like it was suppose to
and I got pieces for alts and other stuff so it's all good lol.

People are under the impression that CT will always be for glamour. The reason why the original was, was because square wanted something between 70 and 90. Unless you were gearing an alt, you already had full 90 for your main.

I think the new Crystal Tower will drop i100 and their pieces won't have so much skill speed so they're gonna be highly sought.

Non skill speed or accuracy pieces would be ideal.

CT is always going to be for glamor because they've purposely made CT into easy content as per their design philosophy that 24 people shouldn't be forced to coordinate to the extent a Coil group works together. If it's not BiS majority of the playerbase won't care past the first few initial clears when the novelty wears off. Just like CT 1 or Moggle Mog EX.

[Vladislav]

100 is just fine for new CT , also there be lockouts . We have weathered ilv 100 atm but since it's unfinished version it doesn't count . Old CT 80 > Coil 90 , so def now it will be new CT 100 > new Coil 110

again, CT was not originally meant for glamour. it was there for progression. It wasnt supposed to come out as late as it did. it was meant to be in game from the start. so no, CT is not always going to be for glamour.
