CT preview

What's the deal with these vanity slots anyways? Is that confirmed to be added or something we've all just been speculating about? I'm guessing I just missed it in an update someplace.

Was confirmed to be added but keeps getting delayed. All we know for now is that it will not be available for 2.1.

Gotcha, thanks. That's disappointing.

lot lockouts makes it hard to think that it is a bridge.

They've confirmed vanity slots for their next major patch.

I don't particularly understand the one-week lockout for CT when they've suggested that every group will only receive 1drop, provided there's 5 turns. You effectively get less drops than Coil, at a lower ilvl. I can't comprehend their logic...

He said that each party would get their own chest each time a boss was felled. 4 bosses x 3 parties = 12 drops (realistically, a single player would only see 4 drops per run). I don't think the soon-to-be available chunk of the Crystal Tower (Labyrinth of the Ancients) is divided into turns at all. I feel like it's going to be a single, 24-man, longer raid, splitting the alliance up into 3 paths, each with a boss at the end, then grouping back up and facing the 4th(?).

A full clear would give a single player 4 opportunities to use their weekly lot on something. It doesn't sound too horrible... but when the gear is on par with Darklight... Eh. It's pretty much a 50% shot at a weekly vanity item or just gearing up for alt-jobs... but luckily the MNK/PGL set looks bomb-diggity, so that's fine by me.

The gear is ilvl 80, DL is 70.

Sacred Prism is back! The pvp screenshot shows off some of the pvp skills.

Clearly a direct influence.

**miokomioko** · 2013-12-06 21:49

Acheron is so awkward looking, being just a very large, non-primal humanoid unlike anything else in this game thus far.

you can tell by the way his legs are positioned

I'm actually glad we're seeing Atomos again. He popped up and disappeared with no explanation during the final days and now we hopefully get some.

I think back in 1.23 they mentioned that Atomos will be explained in ARR.

Well, technically he's showing up in ARA

(yes, I know CT was planned for launch).

**SilverBreeze** · 2013-12-07 20:41

I'm curious as well honestly, I'm not sure if there were any long term plans for him in 1.0, and they just ran out of time, or if they actually had something planned for him all along. I guess we'll see soon.

**Lucavi** · 2013-12-08 19:27

This update cannot come soon enough.
