CT Part 2 and gear - will it just be i100 at this point?

[blowfin]

That's not really a trend... The item levels aren't linearly moving. There are 2 reasons i stated why it will be 95. I'm just letting you know not to get your hopes up because it's not going to be the same level as the restricted tome gear.

We'll see, the links we're both drawing are quite tenuous. I'm not worried, I just hope they make the content relevant for the widest range of players possible. Glamour be damned if the rewards are useless, we don't need another empty grind.

I contest that. I want another empty grind. Also /panic

It will exactly as relevant as the last set of CT gear. It will be better than gear you can farm, but worse than raid gear and time locked gear.

The wildcard remains that we have a system in place now that isn't 100% like the last set of coil (i100->i110 system)

I almost wouldn't mind seeing i95 being dropped from CT, and maybe a way to upgrade it to i100? Maybe make it something difficult, though, not as easily obtained but farmable for once a week (Maybe even attatched to the new primal)

[Saccharin]

It depends on how relevant they want coil1 to be. If they still want it to be relevant then it'll be ilevel 90 same as Coil1. If they don't mind it'll be 95. CT is basically your PUG raid. They don't intend for you (yet?) to have 24 man raids so CT will be a PUG raid and will be tuned as this. Coil2 will be you're serious FC raid.

Well actually they stated that the premade alliances was pushed back to 2.3. So maybe just maybe it will happen.

CT2 is supposed to introduce 24 man raids, and it's supposed to be a good challenge. The question is, who's going to bother running 24 man FC or LS groups if the rewards aren't decent?

CT is not hard. Dealing with 23 other people who don't listen is. I feel like its going to be i90 or at best i95.

The current highest crafted gear is ilevel 90. The new CT gear would get an ilevel higher than the highest crafted gear. So it would be ilevel 100 as a minimum, more possible ilevel 105 (10 ilevel lower than coil gear like in 2.1)

To have gear that is equal to weathered is dumb. It takes 4 weeks of time capping to get solider chest and pants but only 2 weeks to get both in ct?

It's weathered gear after all. You can upgrade it, CT gear not.

Coil 2 gear is i110. Only the T9 Wep is i115. Just an FYI.

[TurnBased]

They could probably make it like Levi EX.

CT2 will initially drop i95 gear, but can also drop an item with a low drop rate, which can be used to upgrade the armor to i100. With weekly lockouts of course. The mirror item will ensure that people will keep running the dungeon even after they have gotten their weekly loot, which was a problem back in 2.1 when people would leave right after getting their item.

It will give players a sidegrade next to their weathered gear and also fulfill the "gear at a lower tier than the highest" that CT1 started.
