Please Release a Difficult 24-Man

[Jinko]

Wrong game. Hard enough to recruit for difficult 8 man content as it is. Imagine 24 man? In the same vein that Yoshi p doesn't want content that favours no life grinders, I doubt he wants to add content that is basically large FC - only.

24 man content will remain easy mode in this game. The next ct instalment will be of similar difficulty to the current one.

Agree, the problem is though they are releasing the hard 8 man content before the easier 24 man content which is totally backwards.

By the time the next CT comes out everyone will be walking around in Alagan 2 and AF2.

CT looks like it was designed as a gearing up raid for coils, but because they have it backwards it doesn't work as intended.

No it was intended, you not liking it doesn't mean it's bad.

2.0 without CT meant only the hardcore can push through coil and their i73 gear, fighting an uphill battle for months until they peiced together enough gear from myth and alligan. Bascially 5% of the user based even attempted coil much less got pass turn 1/2.

2.1 bridge that gap with CT drops that enabled higher ilvl average. You had i70+i80+i90 to mix and match, making a lot more people attempting coil and winning it.

without ct: upper echon of the population at end game
with CT: large population attempting coil

2.0 for the world hardcore
2.1 for the normals catch up
2.2 hard core
2.3 normals catch up

It's a decent system.

While I don't disagree with your evaluation of how things are up to this point, I am curious what catch up you envision for 2.3. There no longer exists a gear gap like 2.1 CT filled w/ i80 equipment. I'm curious to know what people think regarding this.

Higher grade 4-mans
More gear-gap Primal Ex's
New crafted gear

I've actually been devising a rework to their vertical progression methodology... I will post later
