Retrograde Content

While I'll admit some disappointment that CT is a step behind Coil, I'm also half looking forward to it. It will be a nice in-between for those of us not yet in full myth/allagan gear (depending on the itemization, of course), and it's another thing my FC can do as a group besides just WP spams, helping folk with relic quests, and Coil.

I'd actually argue that it's the first thing (along with housing) for an FC to do. 4 and 8 man content isn't really worthy of an FC. Imo, FCs are designed to be larger than 8 people.

CT is 5 floors. The fift floor will probably be IL90. As time goes on CT will get more floors and BCB will get more Turns. We are likely to end up with crystal tower having 100 floors eventually.

I'm just so glad this OP isn't on my server.

Great idea OP, whenever Square decides to release content from here on out they will just skip doing that if someone dosnt find an interest in the added features.

This game will only ever have 8 man content. 24 Man content is an illusion, it will just be 3 groups of 8 in the same place. There is no game mechanic to allow 24 people in one group.

How do you know that there won't be one after patch 2.1? Something similar to an alliance in XI, maybe.

Isn't that why there is an alliance interface being created for CT?

Still not sure why people are thinking of CT as a step back when it's actually a skipped step that's just late to the party. (Perhaps not fashionably late, but it was always intended to be a part of the vanilla end game)

it doesn't matter if the tower is fun and interesting. I did coil a few times, got thru turn 4 but that was during that long extended time turn 5 was down and frankly coil is incredibly boring imo.

On the one hand it is great you're not just killing trash mobs for an hr like other dungeons but at the same time its just bad content and once you get the patterns down, its not even a challenge. This game is in dire need of a good content transfusion so here is hoping that the tower will be just that. I know I am on the verge of not renewing my sub and same with my roomie, which is sad cause I stuck with this game all the way thru to dalamud dropping and haven't been so excited about a release in yrs. To have such a disappointing release is heartbreaking, so like I said, HIGH hopes for 2.1 lol
