Cristal Tower 2 useless?

[Nutz]

The biggest problem I see with this design is that the UAT, sands, and oil will certainly count as your 1 item per week and nearly everyone is going to hold out for those, meaning tons of gear hitting the floor right away and everyone competing for the same drop. At least those items will likely allow for people to upgrade something. Hopefully the tome rewards are good enough that it doesn't feel like a ridiculous waste of time to run CT repeatedly all week to get UAT/ sand/ oil when they're added. I might gear up an alt, but I'm not even particularly certain of that.

Useless perhaps to people who have already cleared/farmed most of 2nd coil. Very useful to the other 99%.

no, syrcus tower is not useless. to turn 9 clearers, yes, but far from useless.

the random bits and misc items that are in the mb still from 1.0 are useless. i100 gear and the possibility of an unidentified tomestone is definitely useful.

actually even if you missed a month of soldiery farming you should have full soldier gear for your main job by this point, or at least all the useful pieces, so no it's not useful to 99%; also more like 40%+ of the community does Coil2 on Cactuar so why you think 1% even is beyond me. However I know people who have been doing new coil since launch and the only gear they have is from sand/oil, with first coil I only got 2 mage drops and was clearing it for over 4 months before it was farmable so even people doing coil since launch don't have i110 gear and Ct is still useless for their main, why you ask? no accessories considering we need 2 rings and are only choice is high allagan, weather and non weather, so with out oil of time every player will be stuck with an i90 ring until 2.4, in other words; 1 i100 ring and 2 i110(no since) so ramuh should be just rings again. To 90% of the player base it's purely just side grading and gearing alt's. to the other 10% they just started with ps4 launch. This isn't like CT one where i100 gear doesn't exist so CT has a middle ground and relevant gear(i80), this is i100 gear that is already the standard and getting slightly better i100 gear won't make the difference of you failing a turn and you passing a turn.

You mean the people rolling in ilvl 100 soldiery gear?

No.. It is still useless this late in the cycle for anythign but alts. Same as CT 1

that is under the preconception that all soldiery is good and that everything is magic and butterflies.

which is entirely untrue, especially for the likes of dragoon where BiS is almost entirely allagan.

Pretty much. Op should edit the thread title to say "Crystal Tower 2, useless to me". But I guess that wouldn't have been as quite as click-baity as his (misspelled) one.

[Kimikryo]

so let me get this straight, not reading all those pages.

You whine already NOW about the usefulness of a future add on, because a certain drop isn't included from the start? A drop that is obtainable in second coil?

When will you guys be happy? If you get all ilvl999 for free, you character levels when you take a step forward, getting rewarded for knowing that a subligar is for head and undergarments and not to be worn as chest armor? Maybe even getting paid for playing this, because it isn't worth your money if not everyone dances like you tell them to do?
No even than you will be "buuuuut I want my chocobo to have 3 heads and each lala should twerk all the time"

CT was always just a fun instance to raid, and I imagine CT2 will be just as fun. I don't expect much in terms of upgrades for my main class since I've been doing SCoB (although I still do have some pieces of i90 to replace that stubbornly refuse to drop) so it'll be a good source of offspec gear.

Not every piece of soldiery has stats I like for my job. Options = good
