What the hardcore don't understand about Coil nerfs

[saber_alter]

i didn't like the nerfs because my static in the middle of progressing through turn 7. i don't get to experience the content the way it was originally tuned, and my static doesn't gain any experience we could have originally gained, and if we want to gain it we will have to go to savage coil.

Go do T10 and up then. The iLevel120 gear will make anything in SCOB feel unrewarding.

He wasn't talking about the gear. It was the victory over the fight he was looking forward to that was taken. If you trained to duel a powerful foe, worked day and night honing your skills to be his equal only to arrive prepared to defeat him in glorious battle but he shows up in a wheel chair because he fell off a ladder and broke his back, you loose the SATISFACTION of the victory you were working for. Telling someone, oh well I can't fight you but there's some dude in the next town that's a challenge does not replace that which you lost. Just because there is another coil doesn't change the fact that some people feel they missed out on an experience that they can never get back in scob.

last time this was suggested in a topic, the HC community flamed it like a steak at a BBQ. A Tiered system would be great and allow people to progress up the skill ladder

everything just needs to be skill. Edge out all of the horrible players and force them to get better. Best way

No, there are a lot of people, who are progressing in scob. And for my opinion it's the most affected group. People who beat t9 long time ago, really don't care. People who didn't see t6, they're just happy about it (or don't care about raiding at all). But people who were learning fights and were close to beat them - yes, they probably beat them first day after nerfs, but SE stole their victory. (they don't have that emotions)

That's true. But they are in Second Coil thanks to First Coil and all the previous content being nerfed and made easier and being overgeared with easy to get high gear. Having the chance to reach Final Coil un-nerfed and not overgeared is better. They already are overgeared for Second Coil, they have stolen a small victory from them.

.. Just because there is another coil doesn't change the fact that some people feel they missed out on an experience that they can never get back in scob.

The hardcore raiders that put in the time and effort to get that experience will always have that. They earned it, now it is time to move on so stuff does get stale or stagnant. The people that did not have time to keep up with it have to catch the next train. Time's up, there is no point to get hung up on missing the SCoB as it was. That kind of emotion is wasted energy, redirect it toward FCoB.

Adjusting older content and making it part of the learning curve is really smart plan that SE is executing. SCoB is still no cakewalk, and even a T5 clear still have to be earned.
