CT is dead, please fix

[Windklinge]

they used thier dev time to raise max level and add useless leveling fluff which is done by most players once or twice then becomes useles expect to "twinkers" hence why we lack content now and see these threads. if max level stayed at 50 it wouldnt be that big of a problem at all. thats the nature of the beast aka cap raises. they create pressure on the devs because they start from ZERO endgame wise which is NEVER a good thing for a mmo. it never will be. devs just dont get it. many players dont get it either because they only know wow.


also lol at the comment wanting to get USED to raiding. these "raids" are the EASIEST 24 person raids i have EVER seen in over 10 years of mmo gaming. and that says something i guess. they wont prepare anyone for alexander. for that we have normalmode which is piss easy.

making em duable undersized? sure go ahead.
making em part of a new roulette with tome bonus? sure why not.

making em FORCED on old players via new relic quest or new upgrade stuff? NO FOR SANITYS SAKE! thats not content thats a LOAD OF CRAP. same mistake lotro made. SAME MISTAKE. dont be stupid SE. redoing old content is NOT FUN. add NEW content and focus next expansion ON ENDGAME not on pointless leveling which players finish in ONE WEEK thats basicly throwing devtime away.

raise the difficulty on content or add more mind tier content. stop with the super easy metality. that doesnt feel rewarding. take a good look at dark souls series. PLAYERS LIKE CHALLENGES and that game PROVES that. having nearly everything handed to you is not fun. and make it effort/skill based. NOT rng based. thats not fun either and has nothing to do with skill or effort.

How is it "forcing" anyone into anything? I don't feel "forced" to run Main Scenario roulette, so I don't. It's simply giving people another (100% optional) way to get EXP, gil, and possibly tomestones. For people who have just hit 50 and are trying to level/gear up, the more options, the better.

It's trying to bribe someone to do something they normally wouldn't.

You can't pull enough together in PF or enough through DF, so you're asking SE to bribe people into running outdated content.

lol, someone needs a cigarette



chill out, bro it's a game at the end of the day

Quit smoking almost a decade ago, thanks.

I'd just rather they give us more level 60 PvE content over rehashing old crap people ran 20 times a week for months.

[Nadirah]

Not really, it'd actually add more variety, we'd have more options in how we'd go about gearing up, rather than the same old 2 dungeons for eso or 24 man raid for subpar lower ilvl gear.

So you'll be running a raid you ran a number of times weekly for months instead?

I'm absolutely amazed that after all the bitching about CT through the last months of ARR, now everyone misses it *soooooo* much.

This is honestly hilarious.

Coil sucks. Please don't do anything about it
Ex Fights sucks. Please don't do anything about it
Void Ark sucks, Please don't do anything about it

CT SUCKS, Dear gods don't do anything about it SE!

So on and so forth, your problem is that YOU find old and future outdated content sucky and would rather harp on people who want to revitalize old content to become less 'sucky'.... this is a problem SE can not fix for you, utterly.

What an amazing post.

Firstly, SE cannot force players to return to old content without suffering a backlash. It is the nature of MMOs with an upgrade system to leave behind the outdated content. Carrot-on-stick incentives are bandaids to a bigger problem that goes outside SE's scope and into western player mentality. Eventually people will get tired of trying to farm those cheap incentives...and then you're back to bitching about not being able to get carried through old content.

Secondly, we must be playing a different game because I remember endless complaints about CT being shitty to run due to wiping on easy mechanics, length of time, troll groups, etc. Putting players through the CT ringer in order to get their relic is highly unfair. Plus, what makes you think these issues won't resurface?

Third, if you can't get 24 people NOW why do you think SE can wave a wand and POOF there's people ready and waiting to queue, whenever you want. Queue times were very long for CT1 when CT3 was out. Take that into consideration.

Go ahead and make them undersized, but don't expect to return to the same volume of players that ran older content when it was still relevant. Once again, CT sucks.

I actually just ran LoTA a couple of hours ago and it popped in about 20 minutes (and the run was smooth as butter, with no wipes or even stupid deaths), so clearly there are people still interested in running it for whatever reason.

You're acting as if people are going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the roulette. People who don't want to run it aren't going to run it; the people who do will now have an extra reason to do so-- in other words, exactly like the existing roulettes. There is literally no downside to this.

[seorin]

There's a lot of middle ground between being forced through old content and being literally unable to run it because the queues are 2+ hours long. Neither extreme is desirable, but we currently have the latter.

The three CT dungeons are in a unique position because they require significantly more people than other duties. The increased barrier to entry means they are not directly comparable to other outdated content. Their situation is noticeably worse, and it is a problem. It can be fixed by making it easier to enter and adding incentives. That increases accessibility at nobody's expense.

[Felis]

Yeah, except that godsdamned fscking minion I'm still trying (and still failing) to obtain.

HEY, SE! You want to make CT insta-popular again? Make the Onion Knight and Puff of Darkness 100% GUARANTEED drops at the end of every run. Problem solved. You're welcome.

100% would only solve it for the first 2 weeks.

[CyrilLucifer]

Well, if they're not planning on somehow revitalizing or incentivizing the content through roulettes, I don't really see a reason why the Minions shouldn't be 100% drop rate, since right now you have, say, a 30% rate on minions (and I'm being generous) that you have to lot with 15+ other people over.

And, when you inevitably lose your first few lots, you may have to wait an hour or two to even get into your next attempt at the Minion. Which will have a 30% chance of dropping, which you'll have to fight 15+ other people for.

See the problem here?

[AsahinaMyLove]

Just add a fair amount of exp. + a CT 1-3 Roullete with tomes as bonus! - problem solved!
