Are there going to be any adjustments/additions to the Crystal Tower Raids?

Raid Roulette would require first making all coil turns faceroll with minimum dps output, derpy healers and tanks that don't know what tanking means.
It's not going to happen.

Nah. They just need to change the penalties for derp.

First of all, players who don't like the Raids to begin with, aren't going to magically start playing them. Second people who normally try to get carried through these need to be "let off at the first stop"

So let's have it changed so that the "weakest" party members are eliminated and kicked from the instance automatically with no chance to get gear, and with no opportunity to fill their spots unless the party/alliance wipes. This could work for CT, but it wouldn't work for Coil/Alexander.

For Coil/Alexander roulette, the system just needs to tag players with stiffer penalties for abandoning (including vote abandon), disconnecting, or being kicked. Where any time the instance is abandoned, the players will be locked out of the roulette and all the raid instances for the length of time it would have taken to fail the duty from a timeout. Thereby disincentive zooming through instances until you get one you like, or trolling others.

New relic step: Run each wing of crystal tower for a %10 drop chance for upgrade item.

make that 5% and we have a deal

So far the team has been really good at keeping old content alive, so I trust that certain content will not be dead for too long until they stimulate it with new incentives. As far as I know, the only thing thus said about the CT raids is that they are looking into allowing undersized participation (less than 24 players).

They do this by gating content behind it. Remember looking for those 16 items in your relic? imo old content becomes relevant only when it becomes easily attainable.

No one who's done it is going to grind for loot that they know will never drop and I've been through the horrors of never seeing a piece in WoD for weeks only to loose it in a roll. If they adjusted the loot roll so that all items appear but you can only pick one then people will grind for glamour and minions if they know its a guaranteed, or at the very least "assured" drop.

lost souls, not light. 1 lost soul for every dead player you meet in the CT.

shouldnt take very long then

I imagine the new relic quest will have us revisiting them at some point.

Also they did leave room for it to be revisited later at the end of WoD.

Anyone know if you can queue undersized as an allaince into the 24 man?

[Noxifer]

I seem to remember them mentioning at some point a revamp/modification of the crystal tower raids into 8-man runs, which should reduce the queues considerably and allow you to actually pull together a full group for it.

I just wish we'd get some sort of ETA on those plans :3

You cannot.

Seems to me that a simple introduction of law and esoterica would stimulate the use of the raid in itself. Possibly add some new rare items/cards/minions along with that...I personally would like to see something unique like ( if u except a quest dealing with the 3 levels, once completed each week u obtain an item that allows u to break the esoteric cap by 50) just a thought and it would be nice to actually have an option to buy something each week!!. Guess we'll see wat they do....prolly something we all will dread.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen until late in HW. Unless some upcoming stuff makes CT relevant again, completely reworking 3 raids is probably low on their priority list.

They should also put 70-100 Law Tomes and 30-40 Esoteric here, BUT only for people who go do it as level 60 jobs. You will not get it if you do not have 3.0 or coming as level 50 jobs Maybe also put the upgrade level 180 as options on items you can get from the weekly quest, if you do it as level 60 jobs. And put the accessories upgrade level 180 into the final bosses on all three CT, maybe make them drop two of those.
