2.2 CoB New Turns, New gear, New Tomes?

**Arkista** · 01-07-2014 04:08 AM

So 2.1 is behind us and there is still plenty to do. But I'm looking forward to 2.2 for the next set of Coils. So I wanted to know some stuff. We are suppose to get AF2 in 2.2, Are these going to be bought with new Tomes or maybe drop from new Turns?

I don't know how others feel but I'm sick of RNG in this game for drops in CoB. It's been over three months and I haven't gotten my Legs in T1 or Waist in T4 and doing them weekly.

What I Hope 2.2 Will be is that the new Turns drop new Tomes to buy new gear doesn't have to be used to buy AF2. At least then you have some chance to get new gear even if it takes 2 weeks for one. Cause not everyone has mad luck and can gear out in a month or less.

It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have a week long lockout. Don't want to make a lockout thread plenty of those.

When new tombs get released Myth will probably be relieved of the lockout and the new tomes will have the new weekly lockout.

Yeah I'm 100% sure the new Tomes will have a weekly cap. But I hope the Tomes will be used for CoB gear instead of this stupid RNG crap. Watched my wife get MNK legs 2 weeks in a row in a PUG, Just like I've only seen 3 piece of Tank gear drop in over 3 months. RNG sucks on content that has week long lockouts.

They'll just boost Myth tomes to like 750 a week cap I doubt they will remove it.

Yea I don't like RNG and lockouts - that's pretty dumb. But I do like RNG in spammable dungeons like HM Primals. CT lock out is even better designed than Coil's.

Sadly CT does have a better Lockout system than CoB, If only they would fix the loot issue on the last boss. SE really has to step it up a notch when it comes to these lockouts. Not going to start turning this into a doomsday thread but, A lot of people I know have already left the game sucks. I know its going to take time to get things better, Just hope its sooner than later.

Maybe a full-length quest (like for relic) but for each piece, tuned to a point where it will take a good amount of time and effort to get the best gear in the game.

Would be pretty cool to have to quest the gear and can maybe only do one piece per week. But this is SE, It will probably be on a new Tome set.

I still am leveling my main toon, not to mention my subs (which do not have a single allagan yet).

Do not mind if they release alternate top tier loot compatible with current gear or better looking vanity slot items.

But don't you all think it is too fast for new gear especially with current RNG systems.

Regards.

I don't like it either gear needs a longer lifespan than 3 months. We don't have an official word on anything, But going by launch we will see 2-3 new gear sets per Patch. And now that SE is back on track I'm willing to beat that each patch will have one new top end gear set if not two. Because Yoshi did say that there would be to ways to obtain High End gear like we have Allagan/Relic.

I'm sure they will release a few new level 50 dungeons that drop iLevel 65 gear....and tomes that you can buy ilevel 100 gear with. I don't know about you, but I'm sure excited to get that primary stat and a few secondary stats to a slightly higher number.

**Gucci_Charms** · 01-07-2014 04:35 AM

I have a few friends on my list who haven't even gotten a single piece of Allagan the last couple of months because of SE's legendary RNG system. So, I'd rather see a token system dedicated specifically for Allagan gear in general. It would be cool if you get a token per Turn. This system would be somewhat similar to how Primal weapons are handled.

3 tokens = accessory
5 tokens = head, gloves, belt, boots
10 tokens = chest, pants, weapon

Such wishful thinking though

You are asking for a properly designed token system. Wishful thinking indeed.

This would work as well. Over 3 months and only 3 tank pieces that's complete crap.

Or at least it would be if SE took full advantage of their ilvl requirements, By forcing player to gear up to do the said ilvl content.

At some point there will be no caps on Myth but then We'll have better gear bought with new tomes that have weekly caps. And eventually all gear becomes obsolete.

Tokens or Tomes either works. I just hate RNG on Content that a lockout for a week.

To be honest, they need to pull back on adding too many "currencies" like tomes. It's pretty overwhelming to a new (or returning) player to see a dozen different currencies and have to hunt down which ones are useful, which ones are outdated and where/how to acquire/use them. It's simply too much to (re)learn and makes things overly complicated. I'd be in favor of it if they retired outdated currencies and simply replaced them with gil/seals. It's especially bad with tomes, seeing as the numbers are extremely large and the required numbers for purchase are nearly nonsensical (495? 375? Seriously? Did they have Walmart employees price these?)

Even now, if they simply removed the cap for myth, philo would be near-useless outside of the crafting mats (for gear that would be even less desirable without a myth cap). Why even keep it in the game at that point? Why buy an ilvl70 Darklight piece when in two more runs of WP in your AF gear you'd have ilvl90 Relic?

I don't enjoy the RNG aspect of drops, but there has to be a better way than adding a new currency for every ilvl. A single, tradable, inventory token upon completion that redeems a piece of armor from a dungeon, perhaps? Keeping the numbers small (like 3 for Body/Legs, 2 for Head/Hands/Feet, 1 for Accessories/Belt) would mean you'd be spending them quickly so your inventory would stay clear, and your currency screen isn't flooded with outdated junk. And when said tokens are useless? None would be the wiser, and you'd simply remove the extra one or two from your inventory and never see/worry about them again.
