Forked Tower runs are impossible to get organized

[Dranari]

Trying to do a forked tower run in an organized group is borderline impossible. Joining the same instance with 6 full 8 man parties is completely impossible. Me and a group i joined spent an hour and 30 minutes trying to get everyone into the same instance and ended up just having 4/6 groups do Forked tower while the rest got left behind cus we couldnt get together.
Why on gods green earth is there no party system for 48 people. Its probably the worst system i have ever experienced in any video game, i LOVE forked tower. But being completely unable to participate in the first place, is just so bad.

I was also in that run. It wasn't even the worst experience. Yesterday with the same group we managed to get all 6 parties in an instance and progged the first boss for the first time and got it to 10% enrage. We were all prepped and ready to go and get the kill but had to try to do the instance roullette all over again because the instance timer ran out. After 2 hours of trying to re-organize people just gave up and we were stuck with that 10% enrage.

I never see more than five people show up to the entrance

3 reasons :

- The whole 48 men from a 72 people instance fiasco
- it's still early, so many people still aren't lvl 20 (even if I see more and more of them)
- contrary to SE belief, most players are not interested in high difficulty raids, and word is spreading it is (even the japanese complain about the lack of a story version that's not as hard). An argument can be made it's gonna be easier with the right gear, but honestly, most people have no interest in farming that much for gear. Most of OC is aimed at small fraction of what Eureka and Bozja/Zadnor were.

Try again in a month or two, when the first players will begin to have optimized gear. You probably won't get place in those because you lack the gear, but that's another story.

Enrage? Is this like a BA Enrage or typical "Everyone gets OHKO'd Enrage?

Honestly, this would be very easily solved if you could just instance into South Horn as a 6-party Alliance like you can with DR...

They made the queuing system for this content as if it's for casuals that can just go in any time, but casuals can't do it, and hardcores can't organize using this dumb system. And I don't understand why they keep making content exclusive for ~1% of their player base with no midcore alternative. Oh and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE THIRD PARTY TOOLS but also this content is only clearable if you're in a discord.

They already have good systems in place, they already did this RIGHT, why do it like this NOW? The occult content is pretty decent, I don't understand how the devs ever thought this was a good idea.

Yes, everyone gets KO'd enrages. Not only that but the raid has res restriction and requires specific jobs at points in boss fights or during the exploration. This content difficulty seems to be made for pre-made organized groups but it actively punishes does groups from entering the tower to begin with.

SE has a weird mentality when they design something for the playerbase, and also how they still stubbornly refuse to even look at how the playerbase use a piece of content.

Forked Tower is a clear example of this. There's no way an instance of complete strangers would just go do the tower together, much less be able to successfully coordinate it ingame. BA has the same problem, but at least it's easier to get the 48 people into the same instance, even around launch it didn't take much to get the same instance for all parties.

I would really love to see SE employees actually complete the tower from a blind prog, only using ingame chat to coordinate it.
