Expect more Crystal Tower in Roulette soon...

[Raiya]

I'm honestly not sure why people are giving out that they'll need to finish the CT series when its so easy, I mean Labyrinth and the Tower are incredibly quick and simple and even World of Dankness is rarely that hard unless you get a rare group that cant get past Anger Managment or fail at Cloud's orbs. It should be no suprise either that these need to be done at some point considering the fact that G'raha is a central character not only to the tower but the story itself AND there's a very real possibility considering some of the hints right now that at some point we may end up travelling to the Thirteenth shard in order to repair the damage to it or salvage it(though I'm expecting that in order for this to happen we first need to deal with the Empire once and for all as despite what's happening its the most technologically advanced civilization on Hydaelyn).

Fact is our boy need's not only a conclusion to his current story but deserves a brand new adventure and in order to see that happen they need to make sure his story is consistent which means we need that story completed. Wouldn't be suprised if an element of the story involves having full access to the source CT in 5.3 hence the reason for needing this completed as well.

I guess the solution would be an MSQ Alliance Raids Roulette which covers the 3 CT raids. Make it demand i90 minimum to enter, and all 3 unlocked (so that you have the ilvl for all 3 raids), remove it from the current alli raid roulette, and problem solved.

Perhaps something similar could be done for the Ivalice raids given their requirement for the relic quest? Not sure how to feel about that one though, since the relic is considered optional content.

While ad it, give us back a lv 50, lv 60 and lv 70 roulett, i just dont wanan get ala mhigo all the time... and actually do some of the lv 50s or 60s...

Segemtning the X0 roulettes would allow extra souces of daily EXP, but Ithink the conflation is to prevent bloat/using up too much time.

You know, I didn’t even know there Was a raid roulette. I’ve partially unlocked Crystal Tower previously, but haven’t put much priority into it because I assumed it was like Bahamut where good luck finding a group for it because no one queues it. Similarly I’ve never really bothered with Alexander. Just now watching the post Shinryu credits for Stormblood so I’ll most likely go back and do the tower for the story before I head into Shadowbringers.

Learning the nuances of party finder instead of duty finder is your friend. You can get a party for anything especially if you're new.

From what I can tell from the vague responses here, people are not upset that it is being mandatory for MSQ, they are griping about the fact that this change will make these raids end up dominating the Alliance Raid Roulette. That's why there are some people who don't even unlock them.

For people upset about this; it's not about the MSQ, it's about the Roulette.

[Esmoire]

Yeah. If there was some way to not get Labyrinth of the Ancients or Syrcus Tower in my roulettes, I'd appreciate it. I don't throw a fuss about it when I get them, but they are my least favourite of the alliance raids. The lax item level requirements have invalidated a lot of the design, and while you get a lot of first timers, you also get a lot of spineless cretins taking off gear to dodge higher level stuff.

World of Darkness is awesome, though. I'd rate it above Void Ark and Rabanastre.

and while you get a lot of first timers, you also get a lot of spineless cretins taking off gear to dodge higher level slower stuff.

Fixeroo'd!

I am already sick of the Crystal Tower as is.
