They're called FLOORS!

JUST FLOOR IT!!!!

They're no longer called Turns its FLOORS!!!! so please stop saying turn 1-4 of Alexander its FLOORS!!! :cool:

Lets not TURN this into a debate.

I have yet to do Turn 1 of Alexander. I'll probably have to wait for it to come DF or something.

*Insert SAO reference.* Floor Cleared!

Are they littered with dead dragoons?

Does it really matter?

God I hope we don't get a lamp floor...

I have a FC mate that I used to play FFXI w/ and we still joke about hearing him smash his KB on vent one night when members couldn't figure out the order of lamps. Now anything remotely frustrating to happen is referred to as a "lamps moment"

Someone I knew had some complaints about T2.
I started asking what part and if he needed any help since I don't cheese the turn with an enrage wait.

Boy was I surprised when he was talking about Alexander.
So yes, it matters for avoiding confusion.

I never understood the reason ppl hated lamp floors so vehemently. Our ls ran ppl up to floor 100 too many times to count and farmed them for tokens when we were working on mythics, never did we have any problems with lamps.

Hey is Final Coil of Alexander Savage going to be very hard?

True story cuz the damned tanks can't hold threat

I agree with OP. Should be referred to as Floors to avoid BCoB confusion.

Usually it's best to get the full conversation before assuming or seeing where they may be. I don't know. I've no problems with them being called whatever. T1 of Alexander. T1 of Bahamut's Coil. Could be talking about a specific floor of a dungeon? Who knows? Context helps with these kinds of things.

Just say A1,2,3,4 etc.

I will be the first to admit that I cannot hold threat on the floor for the life of me!

It kind of does matter, because you already have ppl using a variety of nomenclatures:

In this reference to bcob,
Some say generally: t1-t13
Some say specifically: sbcob/scob t1-t4, fbcob/fcob t1-t4

So its understandable why someone being vague and generic when referencing Alexander as t1-t4 is confusing and probably annoying for some.

Side note: it never fails to irritate me when I see vague shouts like: "any fate party?" <- would it seriously kill ppl to NOT type as if they are blundering cavemen? I mean I can comprehend what is trying to be conveyed in such a shout, but it still makes the person shouting sound like they're ignorant.

For me it will be always A1-4 as I use CT1-3. :-P

Well people still call them turns 1-13, which isn't at all correct. I doubt most will care if they call these by the correct names.

Vague, poorly worded shouts are the bane of my existence.

I agree. It's ridiculous when people say T1, T2, etc for Alexander because T1, T2 already exist from coil so then I have no idea which one anyone is talking about.

It just makes people look stupid like those that want to call Ravana Extreme REX. On my server it started as A1, A2, etc, then people just started saying T1, T2, and so on. It hurts when I see it, like very cringe worthy.

What about this one:

Special Player: "any parties killing hunts?!"

A Rank dies...

Special Player: "wtf guys why the early pullers? No one invited me!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

No, they're not called FLOORS. They're called LIMBS. LIMB1, LIMB2, L3, L4 etc will be the official naming from now on.

Also, the Binding Coil of Bahamut had turns, because coils wind, and each turn was a floor lower than the last one.
They weren't called turns because you alternated turns like in a board game.

Calling the new raid tiers "turns" is like me calling my wife on the way home and saying I'm just 14 doors away instead of 14 blocks, but hey, I was walking through some doors earlier, so same thing, right?

I feel the same way about WoD.

They're beams. Not meteors. Beams.

The limbs of Alexander are analogous with the different tiers of bcob: bcob, sbcob, fbcob. Within those tiers are turns, t1-5, t6-9, t10-13

I'd like to take a turn running Alexander, but I need a hand first. Unlike others, I didn't floor it getting to 60 asap, so I'm going to need some time to arm up.

I never understood why anyone even designed Coil named like that.

Confused the hell out of me.

Except that a blown up moon prison to me didn't seem like a Coil of anything. Spring Coil type coil. I envisioned the raid as a series of broken she'll pieces connected by teleporters.

I'll call them turns until people call them floors in general.

I don't say floors or turns, I say part 1, 2, 3 or 4 etc.

I am Floored at the moment at the Turn of events that have transpired here.
