Making Coil T1-5 easier sure, removing weekly lockout, lol wut?

[Rex]

OP,

This was the design intent from the beginning. Why are you surprised? We were always aware this would happen. When new content comes out, we were told that old content would be eased so that the new content can always be the current content. For example, if someone just started the game yesterday, they'd catch up. That's what has been said since the beginning.

Try starting FFXI right now. Right now. I mean restarting from the beginning. Good luck finding your way...

Even with the 1-5 turns getting nerfed and loot lockouts possibly getting removed, there will *still* be people that complain it's too hard and they aren't getting their gear fast enough... lol

"Omg, I duty finder Twintania and got vote kicked after I conflagged my entire party 10 times in a row! That's not fair! Conflag should be removed! It's a unfair mechanic!"

^ Expect stuff like that to come in march.... lol

FFXI sky, limbus,and they shorten dynamis to once a day. They removed caps on COP areas, so easier access to sea.

Thats great for FF11, thats a totally different game play style etc, 99% of the modern mmos out there DO NOT do this and guess what they have gone out of their way to not follow the mistakes that 11 committed

I don't see why T1-5 is getting nerfed when there has been enough new gear released (CT) to make it easier already.

The "nerf" was said to be gradual over time.
First week or so, minor buff to people that go for it...
Next, a little higher buff...
Next, a little higher again...
It's not going to become Sastasha Seagrot easy right away, if ever.

You're right 99% of them copy wow and are unoriginal, All I'm saying the content will be nerfed so people play catchup. Like the other poster said, try doing it now with ffxi without help.

FFS I understand that the new turns have a weekly lockout iam not talking about that, iam talking about T1-5 and handing people I90 gear in a day

Playing catch up? Run coil for a day to catch up and bam into new turns next day dosnt seem like a big catch up

cause it's not like we were handed ilv90 gear, by farming WP? most ppl, who are remotely interested in end-game, have ilv90 already anyways.
Coil gear in some cases, are just vanity items; so whatever

Okay have fun with end game being full of about 90% scrubs and not being able to tell whos remotely decent

most ppl in ilv90 are crap anyways. I seen way to many 85+ pts in Titan EX, fail.
only way to tell, is if they got T5 gear. and ppl that didnt beat twin before, probably wont anytime soon, after 2.2 either.
If you want, you can use T6+ stuff, Leviathan EX wep, as new gauge.

Do you NOT understand English, there is a 100% difference in making something EASY and making it STUPID, NO ONE ever thought they would remove LOCKOUTS no mmo lets you CATCH up in a day, that is beyond idiotic

Can you link me to where they said you'd be able to farm Coil all day for your i90s? I must have missed it.

[Schmitty]

Just wanted try to help people understand what was said.

From the looks of it we have a bit of a misconception,

-Exact copy of Reinheart translation-

f; will the 1 week restriction be eased?
y; we are planning to remove the 1 week restriction on turn 1-5

-end-

What this says to me is, plans are in the works to have the current one week lockout removed.

It DOES NOT, however, say anything regarding plans to have no lockout. Nor does it mention anything about a possible replacement to the (current) lockout or what that may be.

[Rochetm]

You're right, they typically hand out greens that are better.

A patch is not an expansion...
