How's Turnstile going to work? Inquisitive puggers want to know!

Since nearly 50% (or more) of all Atlas LFT globals are for AE farms, and I do't see any way for turnstile to be implemented for them, I don't think LFT globals will ever be put out of business that way. But for trials and TF/SF, maybe.

If it's the latter, I'd love to see how the interface would work, especially since, if functional enough, it has the potential to put LFT globals out of business {which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing}.

Ummm frankly after participating in the Sneak peak I HOPE NOT. The "Team" I was on had no though to what do we need to complete this task at all. It was just these 12 people want to do a trial lets stick them together. The Leader immediately voiced concern.. "I am NOT a leader I was just the first person in the Queue". We had no heals, no buffs and no debuffs.. JUST damage. Which can work fine but against 54 level bosses and AVS combined all it spelled was repeated trips to the hospital. Trust me if your putting together a task force team or even just a PUG you want a little more control than that.

The Turnstile only exists right now to put together the new Incarnate Trials. That's it. That's all it does and will do for I20. It may perhaps be leveraged in the future for other stuff.
The new ITrials are for multiple teams, so, when you go through the Turnstile as individuals or as separate teams, once you get into the ITrial, you will be lumped into a League.
A League is a new Multi-Team window that puts all the teams together into one window. The Leader of the League can move people around to reform and balance the teams or to give them separate tasks within the ITrial.
OR... you can form a League outside an ITrial. You can then have the Leader of the League enter the Turnstile and take the whole League with them.
OR... you can form a League and do something else that doesn't involve the Turnstile at all. You can do a Hami Raid, a Cathedral of Pain Trial, a Zone Event (invasions, banners, winter's realm, Giant Monster hunts, multi-team PvP battles, etc...).

iTrials? That's an interesting abbreviations. So, can we say that we attend those iTrials to earn iSalvage and iShards with which to make iBoosts? iToc would be proud

Never really thought of the league system in that way . . . . . would be great for competitions!

Yes. Same as a team star, the league star is passable.
