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

Attitudes of not wanting to play with people outside your fc....

If I want to play a certain way that's my business, not someone elses. I've played MMO's for a decade with no duty finder with a traditional guild. I've established a bond with my guild members and I look forward to playing with them more than anything else about the game. We spent time working together building up a strategy for CT when it comes out and now.... We can't que up with 24....

If there isn't something in CT I need, gear wise, I'll just boycott it till they fix this, one less tank in the que.

I'm really not one to complain, but... If I can avoid it... I try not to use Duty Finder at all.

I'm just not a fan of how silly people act in it.

Demand SE split patch content up.
Throw a fit when CT and pre-made alliance system isn't released in same patch.

Sounds like a verbose meme to me.

Welcome to the NA/EU forums. Nearly everyone only complains and hates here. Nothing new.

Yeah because the SE defense force doesn't completely overreact and make things even more insufferable around here?

Quick, we must defend SE from the haters! Charge my brethren, we must not let these scum talk foul of our beloved game!

I'm sorry, but where have I been white knighting the game? Hm, weird, I don't see it anywhere. I just look at the NA/EU Forums (especially General Discussion) when I need a good laugh, like right now.

I will admit that I'm curious about the reasoning behind why they decided that this would be the best way to go forward: Is it a technical thing? Is it because they rather have multiple small groups to be able to get into the instance without having to get so many people?

What i can see happen is people who have big groups that are possibly doing Coil right now will just shrug and say eff it and continue doing Coil. I mean, why bother doing Crystal Tower at this point if you're a hardcore endgamer anyway? the ILvl is lower than Coil and you're already clearing it and you can still run the same setup you are right now.

I just don't understand what could honestly compel them to do this, short of it being technologically impossible. It boggles me.

This is pretty much how I'm feeling after 21 pages of nonsense rage replies.


2.1 - You form one 8 man group, queue up, join with 2 other groups that did what you did, and you clear Crystal Tower on 3 different paths simultaneously, joining up to form a 24 man fustercluck at certain times.
2.2. - You may form three 8 man groups and roll Crystal Tower with them.

The problem likely stems from the inability to invite more than 8 players to a single Full Party. The DF currently has no way to determine which 3 groups of 8 in a queue containing potentially hundreds of 8 man groups are ones that want to play together. All it was ever programmed to do was take 4/8 players in any given Queue and place them into a Group based on their Job.

It is highly likely that we will end up with a UI option that allows 3 Full Parties to form an Alliance, which is then able to queue for Crystal Tower.
The only issue with such a setup is who is considered 'leader' of the Alliance for purposes of being able to queue everyone into the DF.
Another issue that arises from such a system, is how the system handles mob claims for XP or Loot outside of Crystal Tower.
