Binding Coil of Bahamut, Turn6+ Quality of Life Suggestions

Hello,

2.2 is coming out in few months I hope :). With it comes the promised update to Coil, new turns, new bosses, new loot, new ilvl and most importantly new challenges.

I thought we could pass along some quality of life suggestions to the Dev team. I think the best method is to just do it like how SE handle the live letters questions.

• Please post your suggestions as a reply to this thread.

turn 6 or turn 1 - 5 hard mode?

Oh god, caduceus gains stacks twice as fast now and will split into 8 snakes

I sincerely disagree, don't want Twintania sellers

Make it harder than 1-5, keep on increasing the difficulty of new content plz

Make it challenging mechanics that are randomized, not patterns. Give time for people to learn how to avoid the issues without it becoming more of a memorizing the order. Keep it about the same difficulty as coil is now. No need to make it impossible so only 1% can play it. 10% is fine with people being able to gear up and try it, getting better each time though experience. Allow for multiple kill methods for bosses so there is no single strategy for victory. Make it fun hard, not table flip hard.

who can cast Nova

-More stun-able targets allowing us to utilize more than just silence, or less stun-ables entirely allowing for any DPS to join without 1 or 2 slots being reserved for multiples of bards or whatever.
-Creative ways to dodge AoE or attacks that don't always involve moving out of a red ring in a split second. Like moving to platforms that can hold only a certain amount of people, requiring someone to take a small amount of damage and acquiring a debuff or something similar to rotating out rot.
-friendlier melee fights. I get that tanks need to take damage, but a radial AoE you can't stun or see is frustrating and discouraging and hardly a decent way to make a fight harder when it only makes it 'difficult' for one or two people. Caduceus is a good example of a good melee fight, mostly. Tail swipes can be monitored, and easily evaded, and a safe zone is located on the flanks giving you no reason to suddenly leave which is good. ADS is a bad example, or an example of a fight that is unfair to melee for no obvious reasons. Not to the point of making them useless, but to the point where I don't want to get anywhere near it at any time. However if that's how they're keeping dps output low to push the count down then good fricking job. I am absolutely terrified of that thing.
-Find a way of utilizing the passing-rot mechanic efficiently with more than one Melee in a party. Right now you can have one melee stand out of the fight to pick it up right away, but its still risky.
-Consider party make up when designing future content. If you think that Coil should be strictly static, then plan for statics and state your intentions. I think the reasons for more people using the enraged method are linked to coordination efforts and panicking during AoE.
You are playing with a group of people you typically don't know with no local VOIP so Its going to be rough and not often worth the effort of trying over and over again to coordinate. Especially if you're never going to play with these people again. No one rot rotation of players is ever the same. If for example you passed the rot by running onto a platform, and the platform gave it to someone else, it would still be effective, and spaced just the way it is now without the fear of standing on top of one another or needing to suddenly dodge an attack and passing it by mistake. Especially if you don't know who has it. That way everyone can learn the mechanic, watch their debuff, and knows exactly where to run and not to run. That might sound too easy but you'd still need to pay attention to yourself and where to go, it might not be another person but it is a clearly defined target. As clearly defined as if you were in a static and knew your group's rotation. In short, keep PUGs in mind for future content, without necessarily killing the content's difficulty or mechanics. Because I think there's a well defined difference between knowing and being good at the fight/mechanics and having to work with a stranger or another person to complete those mechanics.
-At least some filler or silly nonsense, as long as its relevant I suppose. As someone said on another thread, 'for as much as people knock turn 3, the only time anyone seems to be having any fun [in coil] is when they're running it.' It breaks up the tension and allows the designers to test things out. I would actually like to see the mechanics of turn 3 utilized again in a more meaningful way. Those jump pads are fun. ): Look into what made Crystal Tower enjoyable.
