Echo buff in Coil farms will be problematic because...

The buff has been called similar to the echo buff and from what's been said it sounds like it will apply upon entrance to coil. Not after wipe.
And you can remove it you want.

the buff is there from the start not after you die, just click the buff off and you are normal. that's what yoshi p said.
so no you don't have to die.

also yes it's to make easier content because i90 won't be the best anymore so anyone in i90 won't be the cool kids it's the kids in i100 or i110 they will be the new cool kids, it's to allow casuals who couldn't beat coil to be able to beat it but 6-9 will be the new hardest content.

Also, those who wish to complete the dungeon without assistance may remove the Echo buff.

While there are no plans to give bonuses to those who cleared content before the addition of the Echo buff, we did submit the feedback that some of you had for more horizontal progression on rewards.

One of the community reps posted this but true, I don't know if you will have the buff after dieing or not based on that. I do know from the current Echo buff in the game, that you gain it after dieing once.

As far as the current content and etc point of view, I never said I was against the buff. I just said, I was against mandatory wipes before bosses...cause doing that is just silly.
