Crystal Tower Loot Lock Out how long?

[Arkista]

Proof that people aren't looking for something to do, but instead something to get.

People have been clamoring for Loot Lockout in Coil, instead of full lockout, so that they have something to entertain them, we get exactly that for CT and lo and behold it's not good enough.

Hate to say it, but if you are looking for a game that will keep you entertained a full week when you refuse to do anything but the absolute top tier endgame and only if you personally can get a shiny out of it, MMOs are not for you. Maybe try something like League of Legends or DoTA?

I'm going to run out of post.

Do you know what the difference is in CoB and CT? GEAR! CoB offers the best gear in the game so it should not be able to be obtained in a few days. Crystal Tower Gear is ilvl80 and is not the best that you can obtain and there for should not have a lock out. Some may argue that if CT had no loot lockout then that would make Darklight obsolete, Oh well...... if that is the case then SE shouldn't have made the ilvl requirement ilvl55 should have made it ilvl70 problem solved and then that would force people to obtain Darklight gear or ilvl70 crafted gear. Also Darklight is pretty much out the door Phil Tome items are so freaking cheap that HQ ilvl70 gear is insanely cheap.

Even though I think this couldn't be a worse system to implement into CT, as long as you're going with your FC you're guaranteed to never have to Need against someone. So if you grind out CT enough during the week everyone in your group will get one piece of ilvl 80. Which is pretty horrible but whatever.

People would sell the best gear in the Game

You can barely sell crap in this game let alone high level gear obtained from CoB its all Binded/Untradable.

Are you telling me you can sell the stuff you get from CoB?

Umm yeah the buyer doesn't have a 100% chance to get what they want. But yes people can sell Allagan gear.

Sorry but you can only take 8 people with you server side so you will at some point have to lot against another player.

Yes, your premade of 8. Which you can discuss who needs what gear for that week. Since your premade will all be in one group and each group gets their own loot chest, you'll get to decide amongst your group who gets what. Unless they decide that your premade randomly gets sorted into different groups... but that's yet to be confirmed or denied so.

We have a limit....and It's a week?
Welp. 2.1 is a bust.
They are holding us all back with these damn Lockouts.
Stop limiting us on this friggin' game SE. We're paying for what exactly?

[Arkista]

I don't care if SE is trying to keep the gap between Causal players and Hardcore players close. There is no point in put a WEEK LOCKOUT ON LOOT.

They are messing up this game and its crap. I didn't pay to play this game a few hours a week. I wanted to level all my jobs to 50 run Crystal Tower with each one. I login for a few hours a week and that's it. It really is sad that SE is putting lockout on loot.

Who said that all loot would not be shared to the entire alliance? If loot was split into 3 different pools for the 3 8 man groups that defeats the entire purpose of 24man content doesn't it? Would be like oh hey we got fuma body on this side but only us 8 can lot on it and you other 16 players are SOL.

Pretty sure Yoshi confirmed that each group of 8 gets a chest (or multiple chests) to split among their group. Possibly that's not true for the last boss if there are multiple chests since I assume the last boss will be a full on 24 man... but who knows. I don't have a link to the source or anything, though, so feel free to not believe me.

Yoshi said this. Read the Dev letter from last week. Only your group of eight will see the chest and the loot it drops.

[Tandy]

Every group of 8 gets a chest? I am fine with that. Easier to deal with static groups and in a pickup, less issues arise with it this way.

One week lockout? WHO THOUGHT OF THIS? GOOD GOD NO! Just NO!

In a game where we were led to believe its best to forgo alts and have ONE character, having this type of lockout for anything less than the best (Coil) is a HUGE disastrous mistake. Being one step BELOW best gear this is what you run for your 3rd, 4th, 5th etc jobs!!! I am fully OK with lockouts on Coil, best gear in game needs it even if we dont like it. But anything under "The Best" needs to be at MOST 1 day lockout, and I am even leery of saying that would be acceptable!

One item a week? Way to make the game die and lead to this being dead content and drive away a huge amount of people. Someone needs to slap some sense into someone and get this changed ASAP before its live.
