Loot lockouts in CT

[AjoraOak]

i dont have problem with "free" 1 ilvl 80 loot a week, its just another way to make people subscribe
deal with it

More like unsub, it's too obvious that it's being used to extend content that's already outdated. Also, CT is a really annoying to do over and over again for 1 item specifically while enduring the same old DF crap where people make really dumb mistakes in one group of the alliance. A lockout for 1 loot per boss would have made sense.

Lmao ...

I was going to post more about this subject, but now I figure why bother. It's a dumb system and I've said all I can on it.

Loot lockout should be weekly per job. It would force people to play with other jobs. I feel that SE really discourages multi job play in this game.

So much this, one of the game selling points is now its worst point, my whole FC is making second/third characters because of how crap the loot system is.

Should I be playing this content with low-expectations? Why[play] at all?

No idea what the point of loot lockout for CT is. Discourage people from playing the game I guess. If there were no loot lockout, I'd have a reason to run it to gear out alt classes but as it stands its still better to level a new character to run coil twice. I agree with lockouts for Coil, as those are the highest level gears, but a lockout for Crystal Tower makes no sense to me whatsoever.

It would make darklight and crafted gear worthless if i80 was unlocked. It would also make i80 a minimum requirement for all content. I'm not sure I'm ready to run CT until I hate it and the game just so my alts can run in pug groups.

It would introduce a natural progression to the game, which was intended since launch. Darklight and crafted gear will still have a use, for fresh 50s who need gear to enter these dungeons, not to mention the crafted jewelry remaining competitive throughout Coil. They even made it far cheaper to craft the ilvl70 gear now.

As far as making ilvl80 a new minimum, that may happen over time, and there is nothing wrong with that. You get loot to help facilitate getting better loot. Welcome to MMOs.

I'm not a fan of the loot lockout.

With that said, if they made it weekly per job OR made it to where pieces dont fall to the ground
when not lotted on, either of those would be a better option. Seeing gear just disappear is not
a good thingl

The fact that ilvl80 gear is dropping, yet people are leaving it on the figurative floor because they don't immediately need it shows that the loot lockout is a flawed system. Let people roll for three different jobs a week or lower the lockout to 2-3 days. Otherwise, the armory system remains nearly useless for endgame, which was the highlight of the game, at least for me.

PLAY OUR GAME, just don't play it too much.

Mixed feelings.

It's much easier to get gear you want for alternative jobs when people can only get 1 per week and will pass on anything that's they don't absolutely want. CT is a great way to gear up other jobs you're using that are not your primary.
