patch 2.2 turn 1-5 easier.....

[ispano]

no lockouts.

there wasn't anything stopping someone from getting all the turn 1-5 gear drops for the week, why would they add it now?

It likely won't matter much either since there will be higher level gear to be obtained.

I hope they do it via that Echo buff that some peoples have been tossing in these forums, where you can do T1-5 with or without nerfs if so desired. Forced content nerf has always sucked if you havent managed to clear it when it was still relevant, it sucks specially if you are close to clear said content and nextday it gets nerfed to the ground, that just kills the enjoyment.

I like the idea of the echo buffs, makes the content easier only if your wiping to it repeatedly, and gives those the option to turn it off if they don't want the help.

The casual gamers pay for your hardcore gaming experience.

So yeah, when the content is dated and new content gets released, you really shouldn't be surprised that the gated content becomes easier.

It's not like we have almost a decade of MMO experience to see that this isn't exactly a new thing.

exactly.

come 2.2, i90-95 will no longer be the top gear. it will be high up, but it's highly likely that full i90 will be the (player set) bare minimum for turns 6-9.

I'm not ok with them making T1-5 easier and it's now part of the reason I am quitting this game. I've been working very hard to get FC members in my FC to work up to being Coil ready so we can down T1 to T5 in the mode it's in pre-patch. We managed to get a 6-man group and have to PUG 2 more for now.

Now Square Enix is punishing my loyalty to my FC by nerfing T1-5. If I soloed this, I'd have jumped into a T1-T5 party and beat T5 a long time ago. Now we have to scramble within the next month or so to beat T5? And we haven't yet mastered T4 with our group?!

Sorry, Square Enix, you lost a customer. Made me, and many others, bust ourselves dry to beat Coil as it is and you still want to screw us over.

Simple solution to this. Offer Coil T1-5 as a Normal and Hard Mode. Normal Mode is the nerfed version and Hard Mode is the original version of Coil. Simple.

The Normal version can get you access to T6-9 with i80 or i85 drops, the Hard version can get you the Allagan gear.

This is a casual MMO.

People really need to get this through their heads. Once you accept it, you won't be surprised by any of the design decisions and you can maybe even learn to enjoy the game for what it is.

Stop your crying. You obviously haven't played any other MMO for any extensive period of time if you don't understand what is happening. New content = old content gets nerfed. Of the NA servers, not including Legacy servers, I'd say maybe 400-500 out of the millions of subscribers have actually downed T5. Sure a nerf is always seen as a bad thing, but tbh, if you already don't have your group, how do you expect to clear much anyway?

If you're struggling with Turn 4 at this late stage, when most people have at least 1 near or full i90 job, then you have no chance of beating Twintania anyway. The difficulty jump between Turn 4 and 5 is huge.

Aside from the many misguided views which other have pointed out there's one big contradiction in your whole complaint.

If you love bashing your head against 1-4 so much, why aren't you looking forward to bashing your head against 6-9? It will be just as hard. And if your current rate of progress is any indication then you can be assured that 6-9 will keep you busy and happy bashing your head against bosses for a very long time.

You should be loving this patch.
