Player Lockouts for T6-T9

[Pinworms]

I have not read any confirmation on this:

Will T6-T9 have a player lockout like the current T1-T5 has?

These player lockouts from content really mess things up. My company has some people that like to play weekly (static) with each other, while some want to play with the company (static) and also help other friends with content.

What happens is the players that want to help others AND play with the company are being locked out of content because they cleared the content for the week. We all know what I am talking about.

Having no player lock out from content would only benefit the game...

Of course T6-T9 will have same coil turn lockout system.

It's to further increase the rarity/exclusivity of the gear that drops from it as it will be the new highest ilv gear.

Turns 1-5 will be available individually on the DF with no loot limits, and the weekly myth cap will be removed as part of this balance.

I have not read any confirmation on this:

Sometimes people just have to read the live letter Q&A summary. It is all stated that the new turns will work exactly like current turns.

They confirmed lockouts. What wasn't confirmed was if it is current Coil style or more like CT.

I think we can rest assured it will be like the current coil style. I don't think the devs want everyone having the full set of new gear in 11 weeks. Hell as a player I don't even want that, and I only have two pieces of Allagan currently.

To keep it fluid in the future for duty finder I'm sure it's going to still be individually separated.

Two bad things would happen:

1. Players would fully gear in a week and complain about lack of stuff to do
2. FC's would sell coil runs more than they do now

They should just allow it to be spammed like CT with one drop a week. Runs will still be sold; but I don't really care if bad players have good gear. I don't think they should ever not have some kind of soft cap on end game content; it'll become obsolete too fast.

All this is why we have lock outs. It has been a staple in MMO for years.

The way CT works still allows you to pick your gear. The BCoB is a higher restriction lockout than CT currently, as it is also the higher ilv content. That likely will not change for the next 4 turns.
