binding of coil extreme mode

Stop recycling your content. It is starting to get old really fast.

this so much. i cant believe how lazy these devs are.
recycled dungeons. recycled bosses. recycled gear (lol novus and animus, you dont even get a differet looking weapon). recycled raids now. whats next?
also they cant even code the current encounters properly (with phase pushes breaking encounters and puting you in unwinable situations effectively punishing you for playing well). what makes you think they can develop harder content which needs better debuging and design?!

i remember how they once said that extreme difficulty would be the highest difficulty for primals. so if they retune them once again, i expect those recycled battles to continue endlessly.

1) It's not "retune" it's "untune"

2) it's supposed to be a version even devs couldn't beat before release. Extreme version is a nerfed version of that.


Really, people whine for difficulty, then whine because said difficulty comes from totally un-nerfed content... What do you want, major update with a whole new fight totally untuned and not tested at all ?

You surely know that developers have a game to create right ? They don't have time to create an unbeatable fight (minus by a few crazy guys) just for the sake of it..

you can believe that if you want, but this thing has to go through QA like anything else. they won't release anything that's unbeatable by design.

Have you watched the live interview ? They said that the content had not been cleared by the devs. It doesn't mean it's unbeatable by design. Devs are regular humans you know ? Knowing the fight ins and outs just isn't sufficient for these apparently.

SE did it before in FFXI...

Did you actually watch the live letter? YoshiP basically said they don't actually know if it's beatable because they've never managed it. This fight is intended to be the ultimate challenge because it is unknown if it can ever be cleared. My guess is that in terms of numbers on a spreadsheet it COULD be beaten (as I assume they use a system of some kind to calculate a first pass on boss stats and other numbers) but once you factor in human reaction times it gets a little too much. A perfect team has the potential to beat it... hence why it's only aimed at those teams that downed T9 in the first few weeks.

I see people making more of this than what it is. The hard mode dungeons have some different mobs different bosses with different mechanics and often different looks to the dungeon so not so recycled as what your making it. So they make one weapon upgradeable and because they don't make it change drastically in appearance they are recycling the crap out of gear? I know some gear models are reused but every game does that not an excuse but true none the less and like Corfish said a few posts above they bring out plenty of other new content as well.
