72 player instances make Forked Tower incredibly painful to do.

Kinda hilarious considering how Yoshi-P mocked Blizzard in an interview saying "Dont they play their own game?" Karma is a B

Every accusation is a confession

It's Baldesion Arsenal 2. Please look forward to Baldesion Arsenal 3 in another 10+ months.

I didnt do Eureka BA, so i dont know.
Guess i will just try it and queue anyways without that armor shit, idgaf. Or i drop it, bc i guarantee they will put it as mandatory for the next Story <_<

BA doesn't have a queue or anything. You kill a mob in the greater zone(the one in Eureka was displayed on the map as a FATE, the one in OC is not for some reason), and in this case you enter a lottery at the mob's spawn point. You get in if you win, and otherwise you get the ticket refunded and go do something else. As per SE's schedule, there won't be any standalone raid like Delubrum Reginae either.

I never did BA or DRS so I don't expect to ever do Forked Tower. I really liked CLL and Dal so I really do wish this was a "normal" version inside the instance with perhaps a savage variant that groups could queue for. It seems to me that would have made everyone happier.

Oh Boy! I can see the shitstorm it will be if (when?) they annouce that. It's kinda a given, due to how it's well included in the story, but man. Ho man.

Got into a group to do forked tower again today. We had 2 runs and on both we had to just abandon 1-2 parties for not being able to join the same instance. This is after an hour+ of instance hopping. Trying to just enter this raid is just abysmal and there is no excuse for it.

I'm starting to wonder if I should just stop trying to grind for gold since it seems like a pain just to even get into Forked Tower.
I'm already max all phantom jobs, got the 500 fates achievements in there and over halfway with CEs. I decided to start to gold grind (did a bit before) and... Well someone went and posted a video on the most efficient way, and now unless you get a party in OC, you're forced to either heal or be a warrior which... Is kinda annoying? I want to play the job I like the most. I don't mind losing some "efficiency".
Too bad because I actually quite enjoy the rest of OC and how it is.

Just realized it's bad enough that there are notes attached to Forked Tower (knowing them, they will add a mount for having them all once North Horn is out), let alone TT cards.

Who was this content supposed to be for? If they wanted it to be like CLL and Dal, then why make it nearly impossible for random people to complete it if they don't have Discord? If it's supposed to be like DRS/BA , then why make it impossible for people to get into the same instance? Really feels like they don't know how to cater to the "want harder content but enjoy playing with randoms" crowd with both this and past things this expansion (like Chaotic)

Knowing that I will likely never even see forked tower due to just how indescribably silly this whole system seems to be right now, just means its dead content as soon as I get my last atma, why bother leveling phantom jobs or farming gold coins if I am only going to be fate farming for a few more days? I don't even need to go back for more relics. Someone really needs to take control of this game away from Yoshida and put it into more capable hands. He was good as reviving version 1, but he has clearly been in over his head for over a decade now.
