CT is dead, please fix

[Februs]

I would rather the player competence required for Coil be RETURNED to Savage than give us checks where people need to be using optimal damage rotations/high healing while dealing with Normal Mechanics that are just upgraded. It'd make it more interesting, and not to mention, when the next patch comes out, I hope Yoshi P fixes the issue PLD has with Savage(hence why WAR+DRK DPS is meta).

Yes please.

And I wish. I'm not sure how they're gonna address the PLD issue. Outside of Shield Oath, Pld's potency is not bad (royal authority averages a higher dps output than Drk combo, unless using Dark Arts), but by comparison it's crap. Both Drk and War have a means of boosting their Dps inside of their tank stances. Pld's just get a straight reduction of dmg. Fight of Flight is nice, but it hardly makes up the difference.The buff to shield swipe was nice too, and really helps with aggro (since Pld's enmity gen is on a lower multiplier than both Drk and War and they lack Aoe Dmg) but it still puts them behind in dmg by a substantial amount.

Short of changing the way their Oaths work, or boosting their overall dmg potency, I'm not sure how they'll be able to level the playing field, especially in Floors like A4. Pld's one redeeming feature is that they have a generally stronger defense than the other tanks through proper use of CD's, but A4 has ZERO physical dmg output. Pld's shield is useless, which means shield swipe is also useless (good bye, my precious Tp...), and they take a considerable amount more dmg than normal. No more or less than Drks or War's, mind you, but at least those two tanks get extra dmg out of the deal. Pld's get nothing except an empty Tp bar by the end of the fight.

Well we queued up for CT in less than 15 minutes tonight, 1 dps. one healer. will be doing st tomorrow night, hopefully same queue time

Fingers crossed for you, bud. Hopefully you'll get to experience all 3 at some point.

Nice movie reference, btw. Great film.

CT isn't dead, it's that the Duty Finder is entirely broken. Through testing with my guild tonight, we determined that there were at minimum 3 different raids trying to be built, all of them about 2/3 full, and the duty finder refused to break up any of them to actually get any of them to run.

WTF... I watched it break and re-form the group three times, and it still couldn't put together a full run. The DF is completely and utterly shot.

I would prefer a single party lv60 (iLv180) version of CT. while some fights will require more tuning than others, it can definitely work

Something... Something... The DF is completely and utterly shot.

I think you've got a point. I've been in this queue for almost 300 minutes and have seen the queue fill and empty without popping. It feels like I'm being skipped! The 24 man raids need a larger player base to pull from :X.

The DF is completely and utterly shot.

Most certainly true.

The buggy DF has been a topic on the forums for a while now. The PvP forums have brought it up a lot, especially, because the 3 way fights illustrate pretty clearly that DF has trouble sorting players out when it shouldn't. Pre-made parties only seem to make things worse, as the DF is incapable of splitting them up. It just seems to have a brain fart and gives up. The average wait timer is completely WRONG 90% of the time, and it seems to lock certain players in empty groups instead of filling blanks in groups that only need one or two more players to proceed.

[Februs]

Snip.

I see this kind of thing all the time, even for normal dungeon ques. I have no doubt that DF skips people and also locks people in incomplete parties instead of sorting out a full one.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but a quest to find our red-eyed catboy friend and wake him up would be nice. Also 1 tank, 1 heal, 2-4 dd versions of the towers sounds fun.

I see a lot of outdated and non-new Dungeons that goes from Full Party to Raids lacking in any players, especially often Tanks. Example.

I queue up for either a Raid, any of mentioned Syrcus and so on, to even Binding Coils. It takes like few minutes to see a few DPSers to come in, one or two at times. But a Tank or two is like waiting for 24 hours daytime, unless you luck out that SOMEONE queues up, and this is for me more often then heck a lot on any of the Dungeons Non-Heavensward related, i add. I have to bring two of my bestbuddies to beg them switching in as Tanks, and then pray we get another Healer for Full Party Dungeons often. DPS Roles is not big deal, they come and flow in relatively easy for me and has made me sit and wait to play the Game for a while. And this can potentially get worse, i imagine.

Wish there were some system to ease this up a bit. For example, doing a Light Party with decreased Difficulty, but less rewards and less chance getting anything of note.
