Dear SE, Yoshi, etc, remove Coil lock outs. Right now.

I agree that lockouts are a good thing, but yes this system is bad. Players that don't have the time to be a part of a static might as well forget about coil. Find a way to lockout the loot and maybe give something else to those repeating. Don't just completely eliminate the content for the week.

this. ^



off-topic : is funny how quotes will count towards your character limit, but ONLY once you have passed your first initial 10 character limit limit. lol.

/like

my static died due to this very reason and now I'm out of one.

You weathered animus players are hilarious.

it's not about the difficulty. people just want to be able to replay the instance as many times as they want. even if it means they won't get any loot.

as someone else already said. if you are going to try to do the latest Coil raids. then there is a high likely-hood you will need to be part of a static. not everyone can actually be a part of a static group. which means those that ARE part of one can't help other players that aren't a part AND run the instance with their static in the same week.

and those that are are tied down to playing that instance with a specific group and at a specific time. maybe they want to help a friend? maybe they want more practice?


either way there are plenty of legit reason to remove the lockout for entry. for ENTRY not the loot.

I agree with that. More practice is always a good thing. Lockout the loot to once a week and let people run as often as they want. It hurts no one, and could potentially help a lot of groups clear content that they wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. Eventually SE removed the time-based lockouts from Dynamis. They will do the right thing here as well. I'm actually a little surprised as to how much they are listening to the community.

Assuming something like the CT system were implemented now you're grinding a single encounter after the initial phase of progression. Especially if content beyond that is made "harder" the onus is on coordinated groups to grind gear for all 8 members before even considering alternate statics, FC pugs, what have you. I don't think you realize what you're necessarily asking for nor suggesting. Moreover, I don't see what would really change or be made better necessarily, nor would it actually help people who already have issues with time constraints.

If you're suggesting something like world bosses... personally, I have zero interest in playing a game that is reliant on spawn timers. I suppose there's also encounters that could be gated by tokens but we're still talking about swapping out weekly locks for grind mechanisms.

The FFXIV system really does lend itself to maintaining only one character, so I would be fine with anything to increase flexibility in that regard even if it can be a double edged sword. But I do know many people who maintain 2 separate characters to be able to raid more than once per reset, so I dunno.

I'm just kidding guys, I hope all your dreams come to reality.

Lets remove the small aspect of HC raiding and make this game 100% casual so it can cater to your schedules and needs.

I'm not advocating for removing difficulty. Just don't require a player to only be able to run on a specific, pre-determined time based on the last time they played the content. How does this at all affect hard core raiding?

If anything a non lockout RNG and tokens system is more hardcore because you can run difficult content non stop, an entire day or a whole week if you want to, eventually enough times to get all of the gear drops faster than everyone and show em online, instead of the current system where you might have cleared Coil weekly since it launched but still gotten nothing for your main class. But I guess getting lucky on that single weekly drop and bragging about it is what kids today are into.

It's funny because it seems like a few players would have you believe that it takes less skill to prove you can consistently win an encounter multiple times with multiple people and different party configurations in order to earn your drops via a token or CT system rather than joining a Turn 9 party getting a single win and getting lucky on a drop via RNG.
