Well the thing to remember with WoWs end of expansion raids is that most people stop playing at around the 4 month mark for the last raid. They've beaten it or beaten it enough that they are content to just wait for the expansion. Thats part of the reason that you see a lag in release of last dungeon and release of expansion without anything to break it up.

FF14 has done better than any other game to release to date at emulating the structure of a good modern mmo, while still maintaining its own feel. I mean it rel-aunched with a group finder, story mission,10 classes,9 crafts, easily understandable gear progression and a guild leveling/bonus rewards system. Some of that needs fleshing out and they definitely need more content but given the likely limited budget they had I think they spent it in the right places.

2.1 is going to make things worse. Its a goddamned shame too, this game had some serious potential but with the lack of endgame content in 2.1 I can't imagine HC players will be interested for much longer.

Log on for about 40 minutes to clear Coil, log off and play other games. 2.1 is bringing no progression content at all since CT will be DF and probably be even quicker to clear. Sadly it will not be until 2.2 which who knows when that will be. They made a fantastic game, but releasing it the way it is right now was a mistake if you have a HC mentality.

if you have a HC mentality.

luckily only a very small percentage of players do.

it may not seem that way, due to the many forum posts from these people complaining, but again only a very small fraction of players even use the forums.

Coil question:

That last patch, my group's now noticing ADS doing his Pacman water move instead of Firestream. Is this a fix or a glitch? We're killing the firestream node, which made ADS use that ability in the past. Now he's gone all Pacman at low %s.

I honestly could not understand your question completely. However, I will attempt to answer it.

If you go the left route, then yes ADS will have the water wave ability. He only starts using it at 30% (or 35% can't recall) health, it is easy to handle and nothing special. In another word, usually, if you go the right route you deal with ADS firestorm, if you go left route you deal with ADS water wave ability.

You may kill both nodes and don't have to deal with either but it is not wise as ADS will gain more dmg res. Lastly, no, ADS is working as intended and there is no bugs/glitches from the last patch that effected him, he is still the same nub that spams High Voltage, panic's close to the end and start activating everything at the same time.

Just an advice, Water will never hit your healers or range DPS if they know what they are doing and only tanks/melee need to learn how to dodge it, but Firestorm can easily kill anyone since ADS like to stack abilities on top of each others at low health.

Or developers need to understand a end game cycle of 12 to 16 weeks is too much of a wait. If you want to keep it fresh, allow new end game content every 8 week. Though this is only my opinion, I don't like the slow pace that has become the norm. The fact that we won't see a higher progression dungeon until 2.2 will make quite a few people quit the game.

If you assume that it takes 8 weeks to develop content then you're sadly mistaken. Content for an expansion is largely complete or in process when the expansion launches. Blizzard would launch an expansion with the first patch 90% complete, the second patch ~50%, and the third/fourth laid out with work in progress. They don't actually make one patch at a time and release them when completed. 8 weeks is WAY too fast for content for most of the playerbase. No company will ever please the players who want the entire game/expansion released at once so they can play start to finish and be done with it until the next expansion. If you plowed through everything and burned through the entire game in 2 months it's not their fault.

Sorry, I may just be bitter, but their end-of-expansion raid content has been pretty terrible. I don't know about Pandaria raids, though, I quit in 5.2.

To give you some insight on Pandaria, the current raid is the final raid of the expansion and the expansion has only been out since September 25, 2012. Barely over a year total and the expansion is technically done. That seems a little too fast to me, but then again that's just my opinion.

Inc. 20 guilds killing C'thu-I mean Twintania today.

Would anyone be surprised?

I'd like to direct people to this thread to see if there's an unintended bug that's arisen.

I'd like to direct people to this thread to see if there's an unintended bug that's arisen.

That isn't something that has newly arisen since this patch, its something that has always been there. At times ADs will basically be doing 2 abilities at once around the time it switches phases and it can really mess you up if you aren't paying attention.
