Labyrinth of the Ancients Raid

[Zantitrach]

Congrats on your fast queue, doesn't mean everyone else have that luck, it popped four times and someone withdrew instantly
People are not exaggerating you just got lucky so no need to be snide about it

Snide doesn't mean what you apparently think it means. Try again.

Has nothing to do with being lucky either. People still do it. I've done it numerous times, tank queue, heal queue, DPS queue. Yes, DPS gets it longer, on average its been 25-45 minutes. TBH though I was queueing not for gearing my classes, but I wanted some easy to get gear for my retainer. I couldn't roll need on it as my SCH (which got a faster queue) so when it did drop I would be able to get it. This has all been within the past.... 5 days? or so. I think it took me 3/4 SMN runs to get the items I wanted.

I wouldn't call his post an exaggeration tho, it depends on both data center and time of the day, I wouldn't recommend late night / early morning queues (EST), just today I had a 60 mins queue for Titan HM as melee DPS, just because I chose a terrible time to queue (5-6 am EST), if that was for a more or less popular content, I can't imagine how long it would be for a dead content like CT.

Different data centers for one, I play late at night in eu which isn't even close to peak time
Again to clarify, just because you have short queues do not presume everyone does, be it different data centers, different times. Not everyone gets to play at peak times

You know, I'm sure they'll eventually make it so you can desynth gear from CT/ST/Coil/2ndCoil/etc. to get a unique type of Demimateria used to craft glowing variations of their respective gear.

This wouldn't be too bad, actually. Though, I hate glowy armour.

Desynthing for dyeable versions of these, though. That's something I could get behind!
What I wouldn't give for a dyeable version of the Armour of Light...

One way they could do it, to help people catch up to the newer raid, is make a story mode option, where you continue the quest, see the cutscenes and then move to next quest to unlock ST.
Could even add a "heroes have already cleared it out, ready for us to move in to ST"
Least new players would have a way to catch up without being locked out of content and those that want to spend ages clearing it can still do so

feel so bad for new players, joining a game where about half it's content is completely and utterly dead by the time they reach 50. How often are we telling new players " nobody does that anymore"?

I would love so much if se scrapped all gear below i90, and gave fresh 50s the myth set, instead of the AF1 set. Revised the stats of monsters in all dungeons AND ofc revised the loot and reward.

This is naturally just a bandaid ofc, because with vertical progression, it would just go full circle and happen again....

[Kydi]

It would be great to see them make an 8 man version when newer content comes out just so that people can still get gear for glamour purposes. Most of the mechanics could be scaled to work with 8.

How about making the new CT2 more viable? I've not done it since a week after the patch. Outdated content is outdated.

How would you do it more viable? CT2 is already very viable (once there is nobody withdrawig) .
