A Better Lockout Removal Compromise

[Namasu]

Well, I\\'m exempt from these "rewards" I speak of as I haven\\'t cleared even turn 1 yet.

Let me be very clear, I\\'m requesting this on behalf of those players who have. Why? One, I can imagine how shitty it must feel to have your legacy turn to dust in a flash (you should think about that). And two, if I were in that position, I would surely feel bummed the hell out (as I\\'m fairly certain nigh-anyone would).

Please stop trying to represent your opinion on behalf of people who actually cleared Bahamut Coil. You even stated that you didn't clear t1 so why do you think you know how most of us feel from watching the patch preview?

My static and I clear coil every week for over a month now and I could care less if they nerf the content a little bit and remove lockout so more people can enjoy the story and have a realistic shot at completion. In fact, I'm looking forward to doing t5 with people in my friends and FC members that I never get a chance to coil with in 2.2.

Because I've previously stated that I've been in their shoes... just because I haven't yet in FFXIV, that doesn't mean the sentiment isn't still there--or the relation.

I have 10 years of MMO experience as a guild leader of hundreds upon hundreds of people... this lockout-removal/nerfing-content has happened numerous times before to me & thousands of others.

I also have been an active forum moderator/reader for each of these MMO's, I can speak to the voices.

Just because it doesn't apply to you personally, and perhaps your FC, doesn't mean it hasn't applied to countless others.

Please do not necro me any longer by asking me to stop giving my opinion from within my OWN thread.

People really need to feel that special because they beat something? I think they did get something its called Allagan Gear and possibly a Weapon. And guess what they will be the ones doing T6-T9 while a majority of players are still trying to beat T4/T5 after the nerf (guess it depends). These players who fill entitled because they beat T5 weekly are just a minority of the player base. So no matter what they will be the ones who are always doing the new content while others are left in the dust.

And if anyone should be getting any special entitlement it should be BG for being the Worlds First to clear it legit.


If it makes players feel special, SE should just give players who beat T5 before nerf a Special Mount. Maybe a ADS/Caduces/DreadKnight mount.

But everyone who Feels like they are entitled to get something special because they beat content needs to get over themselves. Do players who beat Crystal Tower deserve something special? Players that will beat T6-T9 deserve something? What about all content? Yes they do deserve something its called Gear and Weapons which I believe most content already gives as a reward. So that is your something special, You get to run around with Gear that other player won't be able to obtain for a long time.

this.

This a million times. It will be so nice to be able Coils with other players besides a static. I play with my wife and a few friends but we don't do Coils together because I'm in a static and they aren't.


Also OP Gesser this really isn't directed at you I've just been seeing a lot of this "We deserve stuff".

Anyone that has every played any kind of mmo has been in there shoes. O how I remember molten core 40 man.... I was so devastated by bwl, AQ, burning crusade; I went out and got a brand on my arm depicting how I was one of the pioneers that played content that required a full 40 man raid. Some odd years later I look at my arm and think wtf...who cares.

It's not like you guys are Lewis and Clark trailblazing...ESP OP since he hasn't done t1. I appreciate the fact that some people that have cleared the content has stepped forward and said they didn't feel like they needed anything. I'm in the same boat as many...t1-4 on clear working on 5 - I'm an advocate against entitlement and will have 5 down before 2.2 just be happy with the achievement for beating t5 - there ya go you can have that. Then those that are wanting something can look at it whenever you like and know one else will be none the wiser.

Btw, I'm kidding I didn't go get a brand. And to above poster...are you kidding me... A mount.. That sounds way to much like world of Warcraft - that is the worst idea ever. I thought wow was dumb for doing that, I despise everything blizzard did to that game and I hope to god SE does not follow in their footsteps to go even further to reward people who think they deserve something for clearing content besides the regular items that drop from said content.

They could just make the gear a different color or something.

[Licus]

I think an insignia or title for a t5 kill before 2.2 is a great idea. It's not game breaking, but it is a little nod to the players who put in the time and effort. Titles are not even visible (unless you examine a player). I don't want a mount or minion, it would be nice just to have a little nod of recognition from the devs for beating their most difficult challenges when they are current.

A big Heeeeellllll nooooo! lol

Legacy players didn't get anything special on their relics from 1.0. And they invested a lot more time and effort into them than current 2.0'ers.

I don't think anyone who completed lolBCoB deserves a damn thing.
Completing 1 FIGHT more than the community does not make them "Saviors of the world".

Heck I wouldn't even give them Maat's sock or his dirty draws.

It's standard in other games that top tier raids/activities reward exclusive vanity stuff. People from 1.0 should have had something more to show for their relics, they at least got an exclusive mount and tattoo.

Your reward is being able to start 6-9 right away and personal satisfaction.

It sounds really insecure to get this hung up over it. Worried that you won't get 6-9 loot fast enough?

You realize this could just as easily apply to Legacy players' gear... Legacy players could just as easily receive a Legacy face-paint, etc.
