Any chance they're making everyone pay for this patch?

[Ploid]

The people I was talking with was thinking, "Where did all that subscription money go? Where is our content?"

Crystal tower part is not inside but the front door sort of (Labyrinth of the Ancients). The last shot with that giant is a protector of the tower. (not sure if spoiler, I just click through text in the missions)

Players have been waiting on crystal tower for a long time. The crystal tower is low level content compared to what people are doing for endgame today. The armor will be vanity armor for them. Something to change the look of the armor they wear now.

LETS GO!

Crystal Tower was just one giant clusterfuck. The content is so mindlessly easy. Only King Behemoth was even remotely challenging

Other than that, Hard mode Ultima is so much fun, the Moggle Mog is just adorable, Extreme Mode Primals make you want to murder somebody, the new Dungeons are pretty good as well.

Except Siren. Fuck Siren.

Had no problem with Siren and went 1/1 on it, was with premade members from my coil group though. New dungeons are fun. Haukke 2nd boss with the blades and dodging is so fun. Like 2nd in fun to the Ultima fight. Haven't done CT yet cause those fates to get to it take forever. Haven't unlocked Moogle King or done an EM Primal but I've had coil the last two nights and we've had more roster changes. Did manage to beat t4 last night for the first time with a new melee dd. Then met Twintania for lulz.

Extreme Mode Primals make you want to murder somebody, the new Dungeons are pretty good as well.

This is what my thinking was when I first saw the clip of them in the trailer, especially titan and his multi landslides + bombs everywhere. Someone in my FC even tried to entice me to hurry up to endgame because the extreme mode primals "have you seen the extreme mode primals?!"

I'm going to work towards endgame, but I'm so not looking forward to ground effects spam that endgame seem to be littered with, especially the ones that nearly one shots you. It seems like so many things are like standing in front of fafhogg and eating breath damage.

Btw Dhil, the CT fates are apparently fixed. Though if you know and they still take forever, SE what are you doing!!!!

Yeah, I heard the patch last night was to fix that amongst other things. I had actually done 3/4 of the fates just because I had nothing better to do. Did the forth one today and I barely missed it when I first ported to the map. Ended up waiting about a half hour, which was much better than the others.

[Chamcham]

I was really lucky when I did them, it took me like 30 minutes total for all of the fates.

Grats on coil T4, my coil group hasn't done coil since 2.1 yet but we will later tonight. We're going to see how the job changes affect us. We're also going to try to tackle the EM primals.
I've been trying Garuda by myself a lot. It's not a fun fight at all. Titan looks like it will be, though. I have no idea about Ifrit. All I know is I want that damned bow.

So my biggest problem with the new dungeons is that I'm running it in DF. The people I hang out with are nice people but god damn they suck so hard. Running dungeons with them just annoy me more than necessary.

How to run a 24 man CT with only your FC members or people you know.

PSA: Yes. You actually CAN run CT with 3 premade groups.

Defeated EM Garuda just last night. It was pretty awesome.
Ring of Aiming dropped. The other brd in my group rolled a 5. I rolled a 3. FML.
