CT preview

At the same time, I'd tell people to fuck off if they wanted me to.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-04 09:39

Right, I personally wouldn't be interested. I just don't see the need to block something helpful like people being able to redo runs without loot just to stop those few hardcores who would use alts to run 8 times a week. Let them.

Well, I hate a lot of MMO gating techniques. So while I'm aware it may make me sound like an ass, I don't really care if the hardcores burn themselves out on new content day 1 or not. Of course, they'd likely go on to grumble about things not being hard enough or how they have nothing to do. An insatiable lot, really.

I'd have more jobs leveled right now were it not for the tome cap. Instead, I'm just kinda 'meh' since there's an enforced gimpness at play.

Gating is bullshit and we know why they do it. They're not going to undo that policy for new content, though. If anything, we'll see something announced shortly before or during the first Xpac launch.

They could do progression differently... like wow did at some point. They can make it just so stupid hard that no one can get anywhere really cept like a special 1%, and over "a week" introduce a buff to raid/debuff to bosses to help "progress"

Primal Extreme mode loot and Crystal Tower loot will have a 1 week lockout. You have to beat all three EM Primals to loot one item......?

**Raldo** · 2013-12-04 13:39

Don't lump extreme primals and CT together. I don't believe they've ever been associated. The loot lock is CT only, as far as current information indicates.

Trolololol. GG SE.

**Therin** · 2013-12-04 13:53

1 week lockout for the Primal i90 drops, 1 week lockout for the CT i80 drops.

From Yoshi-P himself the point in CT was to gear our second or third classes.

At 1 drop per week, it could very likely take longer to get full i80 than it takes to get full i90. This is ridiculous.

**Tyrath** · 2013-12-04 13:56

Yeah between 450 myths per week, coil, EM primal i90 item you should be averaging far more i90 items than i80 from CT.

**Deadgye** · 2013-12-04 14:01

lol at 1week loot lockouts on CT and Extreme Mode Primals. Vertical progression a shit.

**Corrderio** · 2013-12-04 14:09

SE keeps piling on the disappointment...

**Therin** · 2013-12-04 14:13

From OF:

"Come 2.1 you will be able to do 5 turns of Coil once a week for i90 loot, EM primals once a week for i90 weapons AND accessories, and CT once a week for i80 loot. This seems pretty fair to me, anymore would have been overkill."

Yes, because potentially getting anywhere from 2-8 times more i90 gear than i80 gear every week makes a lot of sense.

I'm gonna go through that Famitsu link that was posted to see if I can glean any more clarity from there (or if there's any other info that we don't know about yet in English, I'll post it also).

**arus2001** · 2013-12-04 14:37

As someone who already hates dungeon spamming enough as is, I'm sorely tempted to just drop if those weekly lock outs are true.

Sometimes I wonder how much time they're wasting with the PS3 release, if their content workflow is this god-awful slow that they require themselves these lock-outs to artificially prevent the majority from being fully decked out before the next content update.

Profound sadness...
