The Final Coil of Bahamut Preview

Same old boring gear progression, same long lockout, same RNG. Thank goodness its coming to a close.

My thoughts exactly.

Yes, thank goodness it's almost over. I'm guessing we will have more of the same in a different wrapper after that. :/

If they try to rehash things in the expansion, they can expect to lose a lot of subs. I think the majority are pretty tired of getting the same content every 4 months. It's already bad enough that 2.4 is looking identical to 2.2 (or worse) thanks to the vague/boring previews we've been getting thrown at us. I'm trying to remain hopeful that the expansion will finally remove the training wheels from this MMO and add more depth to the overall systems in place.

This chapter may be coming to a close, but I highly doubt that they are removing lockouts for the next end-game raid.

I don't mind lockouts, I just hope they listen to the actual raiders and reduce lockout duration (72 hours) if they're still wanting to go the easy route of a single 4 boss raid. Horizontal progression would be a plus as that would further increase the amount of things the fast moving crowd can work on to better their characters. There's many more I'd like to see worked out but I hate long posts.

Doubtful. At most, SE might adjust the reward system or make Savage a separate thing, worth more in rewards than a title.

Mwuah, I think Yoshi did actually at some point state that even he believed that the current rate at which iLvL increased turned out to be too high. If they start with leveling that out, more raids can stay viable alongside of each other to be played. Besides that, we've also seen quite a lot of QoL features thrown in during this first years. With that out of the way, there's still hope that in the expansion endgame PvE content can mature out a bit.

Hehe, same thing I was thinking. Coil 3 = all the other coils with higher numbers
