Crystal Tower Queues finally DEAD

Will this actually change anything? Item level is only one of a myriad of issues surrounding CT.

The pool of players who can manipulate the level range of Alliance Raid roulette and thus reduce the amount of players available for higher level alliance raids massively shrinks with this change.

Crystal Tower still will suffer from potency creep though, but given their past works with ARR + HW value adjustments from the dungeons it isn't impossible for them to rescale the Crystal Tower series to be up to today's potency standards.

It's sure not dead on my server. I just got it yesterday and today for my alliance roulette. Seems like 90% of the time I get it for my alliance roulette. Pretty sure why I get it from all the new players needing it for their main story quest.

[Asari5]

for now... after the change it will go down to 80%

I got labyrinth of the ancients five times in a row now, so I am very happy for this change.

I don't care if it's the fastest/easiest raid, I just want variety so I can enjoy myself more.

If anyone really thinks just because a tech isn't in the game yet like item level requirement changing based on your level, you'll be in for a rude awakening because this is most likely just a simple flag or a switch case they need to implement in some capacity for the duty roulette listing.

Example



The logic is simple to code. At most what was a bit difficult to implement is to poll the individual character data and implement that value correctly.

The reason they never did is for many other negative things, they pray that we DON'T abuse certain systems - but we did so this is the result, regardless what we think of the rewards.

Tell me you have no knowledge of the game internals without telling me you have no knowledge of the game internals.

I refuse to do alliance roulette until this issue is properly addressed

Probably the biggest QoL change that was needed for the longest time. Hopefully this works as intended.

Easy fix for that, just don't unlock any other raids than the Crystal Tower ones! Now you can run Alliance Roulette, force people into CT and...you don't even have to strip for it!

[Karious]

Would be nice if this actually fixed alliance raid. We'll see. I have my doubts.

There's a few ways. Mentor roulette has code that requires you to run the dungeons to unlock it. Alliance Raid Roulette could take the same code and require that you've done the dungeons up to the ilvl as you progress or you can't que in it.

Actually trial roulett was like that too, but ppl complained too much i guess?
