Please Release a Difficult 24-Man

[Daenerys_Sedai]

I am only in support of the OP, if they allow us to queue as an alliance.

^this. CT would be faceroll easy if you could take your FC in, so new hard 24 man raid would be great.

but CT in its current iteration is a pain.
If I'm not going in as PLD, I'm just thankful to actually get-in-to-ct. As a non-tank, the CT boss is like: phase 1: join PF, at 30 mins with only 5 members, tell pt leader to just queue and DF the tanks; phase 2: fight "reserving instance" screen for 7-10 minutes; phase 3: "adds" will spawn but quickly withdraw multiple times for next 10 minutes; phase 4: actually doing CT.

By the time phase 4 rolls around, I'm praying that the alliance is going to be troll-less and competent.

Pre-made 24 man alliances can resolve most of the issues above aside from the instance reservation.

Yes I agree. I meant to imply this; I will explicitly state it in the OP now.

we will get the next part of ct in 2.3

Yes, but if they stick with the current iteration... it'll be easier than the true end-game, 8-man content (BC6-9).

My point is we need something 24-man that's "in line" with the difficulty of the end-game 8-man.

CT is not out yet. It will be out soon!

Yes, but it will be easier than BC6-9 as per their design-intent for CT.

What I'm saying is that we need 24-man content in line (both difficulty & ilvl-wise) with BC6-9~.

If I can barely ever get seven other players that know what they're doing, I can't even imagine what 23 would be like, but I guess this would satisfy large FC's with good members.

A 24 person dungeon as hard as the hardest turns of BC would definitely be a good challenge, but they would most likely be able to be completed only by large good FC's, and with the current track record of trying to make content that appeals to the biggest number of people, I do not see this becoming a reality.

Please release a Difficult 24-man.....challenge...

Those words are like allergy to majority in these forums!

[Hayward]

Those words are like hollow bluster to the majority in these forums!

Fixed. I'll take this and other threads like this seriously when there are no calls by the same people to tone down the content the hour after it's released. Until then, I have no choice but to read these threads as "I want to be better than the other commoners!"

I'd imagine part of the reason LoTA is tuned so loose is BECAUSE they weren't able to implement the 24-man queue. That and it feels to me like a "testing the waters" type dungeon to make sure 24-man works before pushing out some true 24-man raid content.

[Codek]

Can't really comment on this until I see what they plan to do with the next round of CT. Considering they kinda botched the first ones release date, its completely up for grabs on where they go in the future with it.

[Gesser]

They've gone on record to state they're pleased with the difficulty curve & item-rewards for Labyrinth of the Ancients.

They intend to keep CT just beneath BC in terms of difficulty and itemization.

Like Taruranto pointed out, I'm asking for 24-man content of equal value in terms of difficulty and ilvl as BC 8-man.

[Ninix]

I really wish they'd release an optional "challenge mode" of CT1 with the same tuning and mechanics they were using at launch (and with support for 24 man premades), before they made the decision to delay it for retuning and nerfing. I'd run it even if it didn't drop any progression loot simply because I'd love some challenging stuff to do with all three of my FC's raid groups. Perhaps it could grant vanity stuff instead of gear upgrades.
