Easy Mode Coil Proposal

This is clearly up for discussion and by no means a must.

1. This would simply be same boss and same mechanics but just less damaging, instant kill mechanics would still be there BUT won't actually kill you but be damaging and recoverable. So won't be a roll over but definitely easier.

2. Not available via the duty finder so you still have to create a group.

3. This would be extremely good practice for groups of people who might want to step up to the actual hard mode coil. Groups can learn the same mechanics and strive for no mistake runs before trying hard mode coil.

4. Loot can be discussed - I mean we will have CT and soldiery gear so another route for just ilvl 100 gear wouldn't be game breaking but if people want can also just make it no gear reward.

5. Allows people to experience the lore of the allagan with no massive brick walls and with no gear/ilvl 100 gear no one is stepping on peoples toes.

6. If there is loot can make it once a week lot but don't lock out turns in the same way as hard mode coil as this can be used as practice.

This might be bashed but no harm in a proposal even if it never happens.

further edit on points been made in thread and points that were not made clear for some people

Remember this is not a nerf, this is a separate mode with no gear rewards. If you want the rewards have to do coil in its current form.

I liked the idea on being able to restart a fight in certain phases but on a development point of view this will probably not be possible along with making things in slow motion.

This would be an official training mode that allows like minded people to get together to learn a fight - this might actually help the whole be experienced problem we have with the community. If you can clear the practice without making mistakes you can easily join an experienced party since the mechanics are the same.

Will keep updating thread as I see more ideas come across.

Just make it drop Dark Light gear

Still waiting on the increased Echo to try T5 lol. I'm not really interested in the loot or the fights (so far they've been pretty boring), so I like this idea. I'm just playing it for the story.

We already have 'Easy Mode' Coil in the form of 15% echo though...

that is not easy mode and you can't do it with bad players. Not to mention can make T5 harder for some people, divebombs going when conflag is up is a prime example. What I am proposing is the mechanics to be a lot more forgiving not a dmg and heal buff with same said unforgiving mechanics.

Easy mode coil if it did happen should not have echo as the mechanics should be smooth to learn them properly.

Coil isn't too hard though.
If you put in the practice, you can learn the fights in a short amount of time. The mechanics of each fight are not difficult to understand, and countering them requires slight focus at most. Hitting enrage shouldn't be a problem either, considering that a lot of people who don't run BcoB2 are now hitting i100 on their main classes.

I'm not saying this to try put anyone down. I just wish more people would properly give the fights a try before saying, "It's too hard."

I would propose a "training mode", which gives no loot at all and no T5 clear flag, no enrage timer, but works like this:

- 1st stage: 50% slowdown (this will be ridiculously easy, but will allow really everyone to study the mechanics and learn to dodge properly), if you clear that, you get clearance for
- 2nd stage: 40% slowdown (same as above), if you clear that...
- 3rd stage: 30% slowdown, if you clear that...
- 4th stage: 20% slowdown, if you clear that...
- 5th stage: 10% slowdown

Learning the mechanics in coil is actually harder than you think. Party finder barely has any learning parties, I found one "learning" party for T5 and I quote learning because it said basically only people ilvl90 can join. Personally, I think that's illogical since the mininmun requirement for it is 82. Anyways back on topic and to make it short..people will never learn if barely anyone is willing to teach them..that or if the person learning is stubborn.

Following the idea of training mode, a similar concept is to make a staged fight with check points and no loot. Basically, you get to play the real fight but every time you achieve a marker point and wipe you can return to that marker point. This could be done via some simple menu which would allow you to choose what stage the boss starts at (which would also lower its health to that stage, if applicable). As you unlock stages you can choose to keep pushing to unlock them or repeat a previous stage in case you wish to master it even if you have already passed it (perhaps you passed it with most of your people dead).

I believe this system would help to train better than making the boss "slower" or "weaker" because otherwise you'd be trained to react to the slow versions first which may actually make it harder to learn the faster versions.

I say this from personal experience on other games where "Normal mode" and "Hard mode" had different mechanics in terms of speed and damage and where, really, NM would not truly help with training for HM

Then make one. This is the biggest problem I see with this argument. "There's little to no learning PF parties" Because you, and others who want to learn, won't make them. It's just expected for them to be there.

This, a thousand times over.

Another version of coil would be too redundant considering they will add Brutal coil soon.

They'd better create another raid content beside super casual CT and Coil, make difficulty level somewhere between these two and offer slightly better than CT and worse than coil rewards.

For coil lore fans that didn't do SCoB , you will soon get easy mode coil after the next tier coming out. Since SCoB are quite heavy in mechanics every turn, in 2.4 there would be more than just echo buff, mechanics nerf surely.

I accept that it worked for you personally, but for me, it just would not. My main problem (and the reason I could not clear T5 so far) is that everything happens just way too fast for me. Could be because I am a bit older than most players (yes, at age 34, your reflexes DO get worse. Not extremely, but in things like coil, it shows. Look forward to it, today's elitists :) ), it happened to me a lot that I had to look down at my crossbar b/c I needed to see my HP and the current CD times of my commands, but when I looked up back again, I was dead. The problem is that I cannot learn from this because I fail to see why exactly I screwed up. I would love to see some kind of "rewind and replay" function, but currently, it just isn't there.

Compared to that, I prepared for the previous fights (like Garuda and Titan HM) by watching videos, pausing once in a while, taking my time to understand what is going on, and then resuming the vid. Maybe I am isolated case, but I am curious if other players feel the same way.

You want to debuff the mechanics so they don´t instantly kill you?

So breaking news is, you survive a Divebomb if you get hit and have enough HP... Conflags won´t kill you as likely, as you deal out more damage and bring them down faster... fyou need no VIT Gear to survive fireballs, due to increased HP...

additional to echo, you buy i100 Gear, thus giving you a even more boost (which should be quite full by now)

ECHO adresses (nearly) all of your "don´t kill me instant" issues,... ECHO is not easy mode, it´s "please don´t touch me" mode... *

we did weeks over weeks training this turns, with lesser gear, and without echo... so by now this should be a walk in the park - with or without echo...

you don´t train for climbing a mountain by running in the plains...

what this is: you get content on the silver plate, and you aksing for the golden one ...

* im not sure but i guess a challenge would be doing T1-5 in Job Gear, and im pretty sure, with 15% ... it´s doable...

Sadly, most people consider the idea of "Go look it up on youtube." to be an acceptable teaching method, even for second coil.

Back to OP, I prefer the later suggestion of allowing you to start where you completed...so if you do conflags you go onto divebombs and if you wipe to those, you start again at divebombs rather than keep doing the same old stuff over and over again. But overall an "easy" mode to learn the fight, however it's done would be more than welcome. No loot...no "progression", but a true learning instance. Videos are all well and good, but you really only learn something by doing it.

Regarding learning groups, I was with two different ones of those last night, and truly....they were appalling, with people going afk in the middle of the fight!! One person NEVER moving when he had fireball on him, and numerous, after half an hour of wiping still not getting that you run under Twin with conflag.

The first group actually learnt quite a bit, and went away satisfied that they had progressed a bit...the second group, I just despaired, and no we never even got to Dreadknights.

Then I thought, ok let's go in an "experienced" group...sent the guy a tell that I'd only done to dreadknights and he said it was ok to join. Started off brilliantly (one tank method) and looked like the group was at long last one where I could get her down. Nope....kept wiping on the snake gathering part as the tank kept dying. So there...more frustration, but I guess I'll get it down one day.

I'm actually interested in your answer, so I'll follow up: wouldn't the ability to jump right into the phase that is giving you trouble to repeat it over and over without having to go through the tedious initial stages serve you better than learning a slow motion version first and then progressively making it harder?

As humans we learn a lot from trial and error, so being able to retry as fast as possible is key to enhance our learning ability.

Say, let's imagine your group is having a hard time deal with the last phase on Titan. Wouldn't it be really helpful to be able to jump right into that phase and repeat it over and over till you have it mastered?

They could add it as a Gold Saucer attraction as an arcade machine and call it Virtual Fantasy XIV ^___^

Read what I said again. I said I have no reflex issues. I never said anything about them not degrading. I'm saying I don't have issues reacting to everything in the game currently.

I'd like this. It would be good for FCs with coil groups but extra people that can't go because the active members aren't in groups of 8. We would be able to get them some experience through out all the phases and point out which mechanics they have to look out for when they have to pug it (so sad). SE can even go the extra mile and keep score for each fight and tell them how many times they would have died from a mechanic if they actually fought the same way in normal mode coil.

My FC has 1 coil group and some extra members, we probably could train the extra members for coil but since the static group's schedule keeps clashing, we could only go to coil once or twice a week so we have to tackle as much as we can in one go. So if we go to coil with extra members outside of the static, we can only go to turn 6 and NOT win it. They're left pugging it and some have just stopped playing because they'd rather not (all they have outside coil is dailies and weekly cap).

I'm double your age, and I have no problems, but not everybody is the same, some people's reactions get worse quicker, and some people have slow reflexes to start with. I guess over 20 years of playing online games has likely kept my brain "agile"...but yes, age doesn't actually HELP :)

And I envy you for that. But everyone changes with age at a different rate, e.g. I do not have any gray hairs yet, but a co-worker, who is 29 and got three children is almost completely gray. It happens.

You Guys really need to take a breakfast with a clown, no one with the slightest sense of humor ^^

now pls, back to topic

Easy mode coil.

There's an NPC near every fight.
Clicking it gives you a echo buff ratio you can use. 5-50% Echo buff.
Instead of getting high allagan you get the latest token gear, in this case soldiery.

Suddenly everyone's doing coil?

In general, you are correct. I would welcome a "skip to the phase where I am bad" possibility, too. My point is this: To be able to learn something (read: correct an erroneous "program" so you can achieve success), you need to understand (see) what exactly went wrong. The example I have given (looking down at the crossbar for one or two tenths of a second, then being dead at looking back at the arena) does not happen _every_ time, but at least for me personally, it is a major obstacle to improving myself.

Please do not get me wrong: I absolutely do not want to be served everything on a silver platter, and I am willing to invest a lot of time and effort into coil, but I can learn better at my own pace/speed.

And you said it right there. It's the "training" that minimizes it. So even at older ages, it's something people could work on if they wanted to.

Aren´t we talking bout T1-5
it drops i90 by default... by buffing it to 50% ... it should give you Job Gear ^^

Nerfing the highest tier endgame content is a absolutely no-go.

I understand the point and in paper it sounds right. However, I had some experience playing a previous MMO where this kind of "easier mode" actually was detrimental to my own ability to learn.

Back when TERA wasn't a zombie game and skill actually meant something, Manaya's Core was the highest end content. It had NM and HM. While it was usual for this game to implement different mechanics between NM and HM, in this specific case Manaya (the final and hardest boss of the game) was exactly the same between NM and HM, except for the speed at which she executed her abilities and that some of the skills were not one shots in NM.

While the "not one shot" part was helpful (you can just simulate in your mind that you died anyway), the fact her skills were slower in execution was a problem. TERA was a game were reaction windows were very small compared to other MMOs and your timing was crucial (this is no longer the case, it turned into a gear carried farm fest... like what some other post is asking of FFXIV, but I digress), so learning the timing was cornerstone to surviving.

Thing was, NM would train you to time things at her NM speed and when you entered HM not only did you have to react faster, which wasn't really the problem, but you had to time things at another rhythm. So the dance you had learned in NM was actually being a problem because you had already attuned to a specific rhythm instead of the one required in HM.

Anyway, I do think a "slow motion mode" would be better than a "super echo mode" proposed here, because the slow motion mode would be there to teach people to play the real deal instead of giving everyone a medal for nothing.

No, this is a terrible idea. People would just get 50% echo buff, plow through it until they got gear and just go in their best gear (which they got from doing loleasymode) and crush through it with no echo. Not to mention a lot of soldiery gear is best in slot for many classes.

Here's what it should do, echo NPC but as soon as you put it on (party leader has to do it), the drops are 2 stages lower than what would drop. So Second Coil's High Allagan => Allagan, Third Coil's Shining Allagan (I like that name) => High Allagan. So on and so forth. That makes it so you don't get easily rewarded for playing the game not as intended in content that is supposed to be hard.

The problem you identified correctly is that someone could get used to a dead-end strategy that simply does not work when in "fast mode", no matter how quickly it is executed, e.g. I, as a summoner, would do my standard Bio2+Miasma+Bio+Bane/Fester-thing while in "fast mode", there would be no chance to pull that off (e.g. adds that simply have to die quicker than that). I agree that, as far as the attack patterns are concerned, these risks exist.

In T5, however, there are two things that a summoner has to do correctly:
- Placing his pet at the correct position
- Knowing Twintanias attacks and the correct reaction (running and placement)

These are the things I can (again: personally) learn better in slow-motion.

The common thing I am seeing here is people are saying coil does not need a nerf. However I am not saying nerf coil, the current coil(or coil Hard Mode if this were to ever be implemented) would stay the same and the rewards. This would be a completely separate mode for training and or for the people that just want to get it over with to see the storyline and I also pointed out that there can be no rewards for it. This wouldn't just be for T1-5 would have to incorporate all of coil for this to be worthwhile.

This would be more for the casual crowd but its also there for anyone to use if they want.

However just to make sure I made it clear

THERE CAN BE NO REWARDS FOR THIS. THIS WON'T TOUCH THE CURRENT COIL.

They could also do guildhests that teach small portions of the fights.

What now happens is that once a player enters and wants to learn a fight he/she immidiately ruins the chance of clear for everyone else just by being there.

This doesn't generate a positive attitude in the community and learning new fights is extremely unpleasant because of this.
Long story short: give ways to learn harder fights including extremes that doesn't involve destroying a df group by entering.
I hate constantly apologizing and feeling ashamed just because I'm not an expert in things I've never done before.

I didn't even think of this proposal in this manner and to be honest would actually help the community learn mechanics.

That's a really bad example you give here since when TERA was not a dead game (a loooong time ago) there was no NM to Manaya's Core.

About an easy mode for Coil, I don't see it as something necessary, I can assure you that you don't want FF14 to get a raid finder mode like WoW currently have. (Easy and really accessible raid mode where people can success with a terrible level)

My only suggestion about current raid and dungeons would be to allow us to enter them with less than 4/8 people

I'm not sure I understand why it's a bad example. Manaya's Core NM was added only a month or so after HM came out and HM remained top tier content all the way till the release of Wonderholme, at which point it was still the hardest content in the game, but the new gear made it exponentially easier. Considering how slow TERA released content, that was a lot of time where NM and HM coexisted.

When I started doing Manaya HM I was using Abyss and Agnitor gear.

Regardless, I'm all for training modes but not so much for easy modes.

After some thinking, I think the reward should be rowena's token of soldiery with a weekly cap of 2-4 (1 token to each player for winning a turn) outside of spending soldiery to get them. Here's my reasoning: most people who does not have a static for 2nd coil past 2.2 would probably spend all their soldiery on weathered gear week to week. It's only natural since they don't have a reliable party and if they try coil with a PF, they wont know what kind of people they will get so gearing up with soldiery is the obvious choice since otherwise they're completely gambling on winning outside of their own performance. If they somehow managed to get into a static later that is already established, not only will they likely be behind in mechanic knowledge but also in weapon compared to other members and weapon damage is really really huge for at least half of the coil group and it'll take that new member at least 3 weeks to scrounge up the soldiery tokens.

If training coil exists and FC static groups can still hit that training coil quickly for practice for themselves and gain some extra rowena soldiery tokens if they want to. Then, the lead can ask the static members to help out the other FC members with practice. If the lead feels that his/her static members are being selfish and unhelpful in this FC activity (and if the lead cares about this at all), they can also use this as an 'incentive' because they can just train up a replacement member outside the normal coil and that new member can quickly catch in terms of weapon if they've been training for a few weeks before but that new member will still have to win T7 in normal coil to exchange it for a weapon (unless CT2 drops that too).

As for the difficulty itself, it should stay mostly the same except for mechanics and incoming damage that are meant to wipe the party or not be fumbled at all, like allagan fields, petrication, bouquet, t9 meteors. They can do maybe harsh damage that doesnt wipe the party. 5 (or whatever) screw ups and the win will be void and they will have to try again for the token rewards. Then people who fumbled will be shown on the UI during and after the battle with a mark somewhere on the screen. Example: blm screws up on t6 and gets eaten by rafflesia when he shouldn't. He wont die, rafflesia's buff wont be too strong but the party will get a 'mistake' mark with a blm symbol on it somewhere on the game screen.

So a training coil will be somewhat of an additional content without needing SE to design completely new fights (reused models or not) and they wont have to design new gear and casuals cant use the reward unless they go and use what they practiced in training coil in normal coil. They will only need to tweak the fight and design the strike out system.

Hmm, I think I would at least give it a try. Now SE would only need to implement it... :-/

A Story Mode Coil would be perfect.
