It's about time to add Coil story mode, isn't it ?

[subteraneanbird]

That's not even close to my point. I started on PS3 myself. Don't you put words in my mouth.

My point is saying 7% of an unknown (but absolutely not 100% or 50% or close to those) percentage of players have done a thing gives us zero information. If I tell you I have 10% of half of some money I owe you, you know I have 5%. If I say I have 10% of a portion of the money I owe you, you have no idea how much money I have.

I'm almost 100% sure this does NOT include the Japanese PS3/4 players.

It's also worth noting that PSN achievements don't auto sync with the game, this means anyone who got the game for either system, gave it a try and went with playing on PC and cleared T5 is counted as not having it cleared in that tally. Also account for people who started playing and quit before trying T5 or even getting to lv50 and the number becomes even less viable.

I know a good number of people who haven't cleared T5, but for most of them it's not because they are incapable but because people talking about it like it's something only the hard core can clear makes them afraid of it >.>

or better yet, allow people to post who add zero to the conversation

it does -_-' .... but maybe too subtile for you ?
in short , coil story is part of reward for completing it, just like end game when you hit 50. you want something, earn it. period.
since when do gamers ask game publishers/developpers to unlock stuff they can t earn bc of whatever reason that may be ?
It s not about elitists being angry and not wanting other to have fun, it s about people who want everything for free without doing any effort.

Also for whoever talked about 2k people clearing SCoB. If I recall correctly, the number of active players is around 500k. That makes 0.4% of the player base having access to the new content when it comes out.

If I recall, Naoki said this was within their expected range. So it's likely they don't expect more than 1% of the total active subscriber base to complete their hardest raid (if we take that 500k number).

It does seem like they are wasting development time for less than 1% of the population. Yet they have to make that content so players have a reason to keep playing while simultaneously not making that content too easy so that people don't burn through it.

Problem is, coil is essentially a side story. Like traditional FF where you have the optional big/bad mega-boss that is harder than anything in the normal story. For this reason there doesn't need to be a story mode for coil. It's not about loot or shiny gear, but about defeating hard content to gain access to the story.

I wouldn't call it a side story so much as something that would matter to legacy players more than the person that decided to start playing FFXIV yesterday. It refers to characters and an event tied to 1.0, which has a lot less weight if you weren't around back then.

P.S. - and looking at your lodestone, I think someday you might need it.

You might want to go get a cup of coffee, redbull or something (wake up) as I don't know who's lodestone you looked it, but is sure wasn't mine.

^^ Other Games have several difficulty levels for raids so nobody is left out. This Game has only one difficulty level for all players where they funnily enough expect only a tiny minority to be able to beat it when it comes out. This cannot fit for everybody and players make it worse with their attitude.

I can understand raiders complaining that they want the best loot only from the most difficult raids. But now even a side-story is prohibited when you can't beat the content around it for whatever reason? Ridiculous.

[KarstenS]

This game has a significant PC population. That number is worthless.

Its a relative, not an absolute number. Maybe the overall number differ a little bit, but not as much you may expect.

Also account for people who started playing and quit before trying T5 or even getting to lv50 and the number becomes even less viable.

The difference to PC players is where?

Considering it does not affect you in any way, yeah, it is. I had my fun with T5 and now it's someone else's turn. If they can't beat it nerf it! It doesn't diminish my experience (and the fun I had) at all.

What does pc players vs console have to do with anything? Like why did that come up at all?
