Crystal Tower Will Be More Casual and is Accessible via Duty Finder

[texhnolyze]

Hello,

So, the devs mentioned this on the last live letter:

Q. How are the Binding Coil of Bahamut and Crystal Tower different?
A. Even with the release of patch 2.1, the Binding Coil of Bahamut will be the hardest content in the game. The Crystal Tower will be more casual, as it can also be accessed via the Duty Finder.

What are your thoughts on this?
Will it become more like Titan?
Perhaps it wouldn't be a problem for some of us who have a large FC/LS
Finding 8 competent members from DF for Titan is hard enough, and this is 24..
It also depends on what's the definition of "casual" by the devs
Do they consider Titan hard as casual as it can also be accessed via the Duty Finder?

They are going backwards which me and my friends discussed as very strange ... We'll guess we will all truck roll it with all out ilevel90 gear haha

In that case I hope it isn't over for everyone if one person leaves.

I think in a interview Yoshida said that during inhouse testing the whole 24 man group died if 1 or 2 people failed.
They changed it that it need now some more people to fail before the whole group die.

I love that we can spam it, it'll make Bahamut Coil much easier. :3 And closer to 7k health! (For a Paladin.)

This was not done intentionally. Crystal Tower was supposed to be available at 2.0, and players were INTENDED to run it before every trying coils.

DF a 24 man dungeon? Hope there isn't a limit to it. Sounds like fun. ^_^!

Don't forget dungeons will be getting a gear check/minimum ilevel feature with 2.1 as well. One of the biggest issues I've seen with DF Titan(or even Garuda) groups is that people are heavily undergeared.

Normally larger raid size = easier raid, tbh. In wow 40 mans you could easily carry 20% of the raid being pure bads as long as the core was solid. In EverQuest 72 man raids back in the day even more so, you could lose tons of baddies and still do ok with a few solid core groups. 10 man raids you have 2 or 3 scrubs and you may be SoL.
