Crystal Tower Horror Stories

[necrosis]

A monk disconnected and dropped out. A summoner joined a minute later. Killed the next boss and he got his boots. Left immediately... All of us was like LOOOOOLZzz

And no penalty because he was the replacement.

Almost all my horror stories revolve around tanks having a pissing contest on who is going to tank the dragons on the first boss. 99.999% of the time causing the wipe of at least one party if not the entire alliance.

Amusingly.. a lot of my runs no one wants to tank anything.. which is fine I have no problem tanking anything in CT >.>;

I had crappy luck my 3rd week. I had already gotten my SMN belt and hat and was aiming for the body. I did 13 runs and only saw it once, which, of course, I lost the lot on. Ended up taking the pants on the last run and just stopping since I had capped myth a while back.

On the non-horror-maybe-there-is-a-RNG-Angel-Watching-over-me...the next week on my very first run the Crim body dropped, lotted, and beat two others on it. It was fantastic. And then the next week, first run again, I went as WHM for funsies and the Royal Body dropped. Lotted and beat the other healer on that one. >__>; Too much good luck these past few weeks. Means this week is gonna suck for healer loot or something.

The wait as DPS was over 120 minutes, when it finally pops a troll tank(s) kept withdrawing for 25 minutes.
When i finally got in the other 2 groups kept dying to the trash mobs before bone dragon before they all LEFT...

Eventually my group left aswell.. back to queing in DF for another 2 hours :S

Had 1 where the withdraw/commence crap happened at ~45 minutes, then after about 3 minutes of that, I was back at 1/12 for another ~7 minutes, happened again for a bit combined with some flat-out timeouts (timeout on 2 DPS... Then time out on 1 healer... Then time out on 1 tank)... Then I was back at 1/12 again. Shortly after an hour I gave up.

Only way I ever get in in less than half an hour is joining in progress, and then I typically get stuck with a group that's at King Behemoth. (Or rooms that are glitched (Hit that a lot).
I need the Bard body from the Bone Dragon damnit!

Anyway, after seeing no bard drops but the boots (which I already have) this week, I said **** it and greeded a Crimson chest-piece. :-/

People also really need to stop dropping en masse once 1 or 2 people leave...

The off tank (I was in Alliance B), tanked the Bone dragon off of the MT (the MT was facing the dragon towards the back of the room where nobody was). Got to final phase and the OT got me hit by the massive aoe effect >.>, worst of it all is nobody took any noticed a healer was down and they killed the boss.

I feel super offended whenever there are alliance people who don't help their allies. It's super rude, seriously, I heal you guys all the time! It feels rude not to.

sadly no one understands "Evil Eye" can be interrupted.

it makes the battle so much easier if it is silenced.

This thread is perfect. I've run CT about 15 times this week in between work shifts. I haven't seen Royal Shoes in weeks.

They just dropped about 15 minutes ago. At the start of the run I made this big deal about praying to the RNGods for them. I rolled a 2 with Need. The WHM with ilvl 90 Cleric's Boots rolled an 18. Her SCH now has full Royal. I'll just sit in this lava and ruminate on how empty the world is.

Royal Crown the only piece I needed, drops from the last boss and I lose the roll to another WHM in FULL ilvl 90. Loot drops I don't seem to have a big problem with with a bit if patience, loot rolls on the other hand....

Even if not silenced, a cd makes it easy to just eat.
