Coil Story mode in development.

[Alukah]

Oh, so you clear t6-t9 every week only to see the story over and over and not care abut loot?

I say don't just throw the story in there, throw in the loot as well.

And that's how kids throw a fit on the Internet.

If they do make something like this it probably be when the level cap is raised and nobody does the raid for current gear anymore.

As someone who has had to go through the pain of recruiting for a static, I like this idea. With a larger pool of people not stuck on content that's 3 patches old, finding people to raid with might not be as hard as it was before.

I think it's a fine idea. What harm is there in letting other people experience the story? We all pay to play this game, you know. Far too much selfishness going on here.

I agree in not having the story mode version released alongside the normal version, though. Perhaps have it a patch behind, like the way they currently add them to duty finder a patch later.

But...but the elitists in this game need SOME form of fulfillment. Elitism is often born out of not getting what they want out of life...if you take this away from them they won't know what to do.


In all seriousness though, I have mixed feelings on this. Part of me is happy that those who haven't seen the story of coil will be able to with their own character (YouTube can't do that, for all the people screaming about it), the other part of me wishes that they would focus the effort needed for this on something else that would benefit the entire community.

In the end though, in a couple years, finding a group for any of the coils would be an absolute nightmare. So I'd have to say it's good to get this out of the way now, because they'll have to do it eventually.

Q: With the Coil of Bahamut ending in Patch 2.4, will there be a system that allows users to finish only the story?
A: Yes, I think we need to prepare something like this. Now, we are going to gradually lower the difficulty level, but with new patches coming out and new players coming in, we’re anticipating a time when there aren’t enough people to play through the dungeon, and we have to look into avoiding that situation. We’ve still got a ways to go before reaching that point, so it’s a little too early to set up anything concrete, but yes, I do feel we need something that lets people who can’t complete the Coil to experience the story.

This isn't something that is coming any time soon. Only when nobody does coil anymore so probably in 3.0 so new players can see the old content. So its not really going to effect endgame.

Some people seem to not realize, that most of us doing Coil, only care about the Story. The loot is fantastic don't get me wrong. But, I played 1.0 from Collectors edition release. I have also played this game since release. Fighting to earn the story line makes the story 1000000 times better because we earned this. It is the story of the world near ending, a battle against a god. His forces trying to hold us at bay, but we push forward for the truth of the seventh Umbral eras fall.

This is a battle to find out what happened to OUR CHARACTERS, OUR HISTORY, that is why I do this.

I am not against a story mode for coil, but will it matter for players that have just started or started when it came out? What importance will the story hold for this that did not invest hours into 1.0. We watched our world be destroyed by a primal too powerful for any one to handle. Yet here we stand, awaiting the final coil, and it is our primary mission to find out why we are here today.
