Can't make a full premade for Crystal Tower...

[Sylve]

The amount of butthurt over a slightly delayed aspect of one part of the patch is getting rather hilarious.

If you have a large FC that wants to run 24 man premades ....

Wait one more patch for that functionality!

In the meantime, the rest of us who don't mind playing with strangers will enjoy what Crystal Tower offers.

That's a good 5 to 6 months out. FCs will have imploded by then over loot/progression drama. In the best case scenario, they'll implode because they've cleared BC in one night, the CT content is so faceroll that you don't even need to strategize(trivial meaningless content for those players), and the only thing holding the FC together is extreme mode primals that only drops weapons. This industry is far too quick paced to make fatal mistakes like this. You cannot use the excuse, "Just wait til patch". By the time the next patch comes out, there will be 1 or 2 new games in open beta, releasing, etc. If SE keeps making these horrible judgement mistakes, their retention rate is going to go way down.

Tell people this when waiting for money from unemployment or even other MMOs that has a lack of end-game content. "Don't like it? JUST WAIT! KEEP WAITING!"

Go on, let me know the results.

But we already waited 3 months (will be almost 4 by the 17th) for CT, and now to wait more?
I understand that people must be patient but come on, this is crazy.

And it's not about playing with strangers, it's about not being able to play in a full-FC alliance party.

We shouldn't have to wait another 3-4 months for something that should be out now. A large part of CT's appeal was that it finally offered something for larger FCs to do as a group, rather than splitting people up into smaller sub-groups. That appeal is now gone.

If DF players weren't so bad I wouldn't mind playing with them, but I have a good FC and I want to play with them. Horrible design choices. Wildstar keeps looking better and better.

My question is does this mean we are required to go with 6 tanks. And how are these encounters going to be structured so that 6 tanks doesn't feel utterly comical.

The way I read/saw it was this really isn't going to be true 24 man content. It'll be 3 parties of 8 doing their own thing with their own objective with their own loot. Even looking at screenshots, you can see 3 divided platforms, 3 "bosses" per room, etc. Only the last boss seems like it'll be the only boss where you'd potentially need just 2 tanks. Otherwise, it's just minor coordination between the parties in the alliance(I'll get quotes if I need to). These devs say they have played other western MMOs but I swear... it's like they got someone else to play them and they just got a really really bad translation of what the western MMO really entails.

gotcha so kinda like the 2 party missions in GW1.
