Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

[Arkista]

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.

Did you forget that the only "True Endgame Content" we have is Turn1-5? And that's all there is until 2.2.... So some people will always say that. I would rather be able to spam something 50 times a week to work toward something, Than to log in twice a week for 2hrs like I have been doing and have nothing else I want to do.

Also don't forget you will have to lot against others so its not like your getting all your gear for every job in one week.

Good question and something that should be asked for the upcoming Live Letter. Personally I hope it's one piece of loot per run. Any longer than that and it'll defeat the purpose of making it content that's made for the Duty Finder.

I'd be ok with the lock out if it was one piece per run... But TBH I don't see that happening. People are going to come in get what they want and leave, People already do it in AK.

Adding Tomes is pretty much a waste, Phil Tomes will pretty much be obsolete after 2.1 unless items are need for new crafts. Myth Tomes have a Cap so after doing your weekly CoB (if you do) and running X amount of dungeons to cap you'll be done with them. Best part is a change of scenery, But unless you get like 80-100 Myth per run I don't think CT will be the new place to farm. And lets hope we don't get the "Speed Run" skeets who want to SR CT.

If SE would have added CT in a launch Then having a Loot Cap wouldn't be so bad if its like a 24hr wait time. If SE likes Lock Outs why don't we have HNM/NMs that drop loot?

1 Piece per 24 hours seems about right to me. As far as going in grabbing loot and leaving, loot could easily be saved til the end and after completion dropped into the players invo. Or all loot stays in a pool for each party til the end. After the last boss dies then you will be allowed to roll. However, I feel SE most likely has thought of this and has put something in place.

People can always not roll (even if they can only greed it) and just let the timer run out. This way the party will at least get 4-5 more minutes out of the person who may potentially leave. :3 But I'm sure they'd finish for the tomes anyways.

Well there goes me doing this with my FC atall then. I'm going to run it once with a party of 8 of them to see the sights, then solo queue for the dang thing. I get my piece of gear, im dropping out. This makes absolutely no sense. How do they not see this coming??

So you don't care about the myth and philo tomes for completion?

WP/ AK speedruns aren't going anywhere, and hey, i can actually gear my alts as much as i want from those.

I really hope we don't have to wait until the next live letter to hear something on this.

Why a lootlock?
Well because otherwhise the darklight gear would be completely useless. Everyone could just farm the crystal tower gear in one day.
That's not how it's intended, especially after they wanna put in a few different ways to farm philos and mythos.

What will probably happen is each wing will have its own loot pool so you have to fall into the right wing as well you will most likely not get a chest until the end in the letter it said about half the group should get a drop so thats 12 pieces of gear which is 4 possible chests.

[Arkista]

Even if you wouldn't....this mechanic would enable lots of douches to just quit the run or "disconnect" from the server once they got their gear then re-queue to get more. It won't be that fair for the remaining players especially if tanks/healers get into the habit of dropping

Lets say with a 24hour lockout that a player has done CoB for the week, maybe some Beastmen quest, and is near capping his/her Myth Tomes for the week. So they run CT in hopes of getting a piece of gear they do 2-3 run no drop or get out lotted, they finish each run and cap on myth for the week. Now the player has no reason to finish the entire run (LOL Phil Tomes) what's stopping that player from leaving if they lose lot/gear doesn't drop/or they get the gear? People run in to AK and go for the accessory chest and leave all the time if they don't get what they want.

Seeing as how Crystal Tower is useable in Duty Finder I doubt SE will not allow people to join in progress.

Darklight is pretty much useless now seeing as how HQ ilvl70 gear and materia prices have dropped by 75% or more. And no Unless you have some very amazing luck your not farming Crystal tower in a few days and getting all the gear we will have to lot against others.
