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

[TheRogueX]

All these complicated WoW-style drop politics... back in my day when you beat a raid boss, all of its loot dropped onto the ground and had to be manually picked up! And you were competing with 95-200 people for 10-15 drops on a loot table where your item had, if you were lucky, a 1-5% chance of dropping! No need this, greed that, or rolling.

You also probably spent 3-4 hours camping for the boss spawn, then another hour or more PvPing another alliance of 95-200 people for the right to face the boss. If you were lucky, you didn't die so many times as to lose a level, and you didn't drop any of your gear. You might have also got a couple of honorable PKs in and caused an enemy to lose a valuable weapon that you happily took possession of.

:P

You can be placed in parties with people from cross-server...

not if it is how ct first started, in that you needed a full party to get in
this mix up happened because of failure to understand, and that most people dont remember how CT was locked to a full party at first.

This was never the case... Nothing has been on DF and locked for full party until 2.2 (where is was coil, levi ex and moggle mog ex).

Ct was never locked to full party
Coil was but not ct

Yea, I'm pretty sure that person was just trolling me at this point lol...

Is a good read on this trolling technique...

Dont forget, but Im pretty sure this time for CT we will be able to queue as a 24man premade. That 'should' help lessen the drama and chaos.

not trying to troll. only way i had joined ct was with full parties, so if it wasnt, my bad. still doesnt take away from people making parties for the purpose of getting sand/oil.

[omfgwtf]

now that they mentioned it will drop sands/oils.. It will probably be just like coil bosses each level drops a certain one 100%.. and im also guessing that ct2 gear will be 110.. just sayin.. it would be pointless other than vanity if it wasn't and people would pass it 100% of the time unless it had vastly superior secondary stats to high allagan or weathered gear.. I personally like the way they did ct last time it was cool having all the different actually mechanics and not just a stupid hack n slash dodge fest ( which is what I detest in this game ) and its great that they are making an alternative route to end game gear ^^ it will help a lot with fail pug coil groups and maybe help a lot with twin fight to get more people actually in coil2

Probably not, why would anyone care about Sand/Oils if the normal drops are i110?

Since everyone who has capped Soldiery every week since patch has all of their items except maybe one, I think (and hope) the new CT drop ilvl 105 stuff. Otherwise ppl would try it, say "Hey that was fun, but I the gear is too bad for me so no need to go there" and wait time is gonna be really long
