Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

It will replace them if you wait long enough. The thing is, people have to check the "Join Party in Progress" option when they queue for them to join you.

Yeahhh, we waited 30 minutes once, cleared AK to the end boss and a tank never joined. I'd say waiting long enough isn't an option for small servers.

You're assuming the Duty Finder is going to find a replacement. When someone drops in WP/AK the duty finder almost never replaces them and we have to quit/start over.

It's hard to find replacements in WP/AK because people don't use the join in-progress option.

It won't be hard to find replacements in CT because people will use the join in-progress option.

Why? Because other pepole will drop half-way, forcing some alliances to disband. Those who disbanded will not mind joining in-progress because there's no point joining fresh. So as more groups disband half-way, more people will join in-progress, so replacements are easier to find, and less people will drop half-way.

Yes it's optimistic, but it's optimistic based on the fact that CT is inherently different to WP/AK. That difference needs to be considered when we look at the replacement situation in CT.

How many drops do you regularly get in coils? per week?

If you're lucky, 1.

5 if you're DRG.

If you are lucky you can get 4+

Yeah, the restriction better only apply to the run you're currently in and wear off the instant you leave.

Yes, so people can spam it 50 times in the first week, have all the gear, then rage about "nothing to do".

Award-winning idea, this one.

better than people quitting because they can only play the game one day a week. i would rather gear be like the original in 1.0 with a short 15 min lockout after completion and a low drop rate than the current design.

No, its not better than ppl getting all the gear in 2 days then quitting because they have nothing to do, not just one thing to do per X time.

The gap between content updates is going to be smaller form here on out, so forced pacing won't be as necessary (hence no lockout on the dungeon runs).

EVERY MMO UNDER THE SUN has some kind of lockouts or limits on content to prevent the content from being "used up" faster than they can develop it. It is useless to complain about it as if it's only something that happens in this game and that people quit because of it, because it just isn't true. If you don't like it here, you won't like it in any other MMO in existence.
