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

[Magis]

Listen here you bully, I PAY for this game so I deserve to be part of EVERY aspect of it. I don't care if I need to invest time, gil or social interactions because I am not a no life nerd who plays for 420 hours every month! I am the HERO OF THIS STORY AND I DESERVE EVERYTHING so go back to wiping on your little raids for 7 hours a night. How DARE you look down on us you elitist raiding bully!! Make T9 soloable and make it drop ilvl 130 RIGHT NOW!!

You want to know the sad part? I actually thought this was a real post at first. Poe's Law really in effect here.

"Solo coil mode"

This just doesn't EVEN!!!


I just know someone here would just hate this idea. Having more modes to raids could/would open them up to more players like myself Who like to solo stuff or play at odd hours of the night/day. Having, more stuff never hurts. a solo coil mode could be like the Solo Ada Wong missions the RE series. It could get more players to try raids or coils in the furture. Solo mode wouldnt be solo the whole coil alone. Solo missions could be clear said floor to allow a raid team to move on to the next fight without being lockout or fored into a harder fight. I think the idea is Fun and would bring more spice to the boring endgame we have now. "Adding more FUN is not so bad".

How is it... a... raid... if you are soloing it? Is this your first MMO or something?

Having more ways to enjoy something isnt a bad thing.....some people may just be short sighted. The best part of many games are the side missions and solo parts of the game(s) A solo mission mode coil could be harder then normal mode. Giving more players a reson to try coil might get them to join raid teams. As it stands now, there almost no reason to join any raid team. Its Called DF. This is just my idea. We already know we'll see more "modes" in the near future. Also, I know from the past its nearly impossible to get players to help with raids or ex primals on my server. It took me 3 hours to get a team for T5. I was helping out new members to my FC. The OLD coils may need a Solo/small team mode in the near future. Since "SOME" players never help out. Just saying....

ps: Yes, this is my First and LAST MMO. Why, mainly because of the way many players think and act the like (the 3rd Riiii)
I think WE have a generational problem here........peace out.

The raids before Final Coil are easier than ever and PUG groups are easily taking them out. You need a story mode why again? Its like "Hey SE, I don't feel like playing your game, so just give me the story line here, then I will complain until I get a story mode for the next thing." Cut scenes are a reward in themselves. Work for them, earn them, enjoy them. Can't beat it or find time for a group? Well, too bad, you are playing an MMO.

This is a good example of undeserving people seeking entitlement.

Why don't you all sit and wait? Old raids are nerfed at every patch, just wait next one and problem solved.

Most likely T5's last part as twisters and dreads will be nerfed to the point of let able anyone end duty facerolling any mechanics.

Coil story should be a hunt reward. 1000 seals/turn.

Ok, some nomenclature for you:

A raid is a type of mission in a video game in which a number of people attempt to defeat a boss monster or consecutive series of bosses. The term raid itself stems from the military definition of a sudden attack and/or seizure of some objective.[1] This type of objective is most common in MMORPGs, and usually but not necessarily occurs within an Instance dungeon.

-Wikipedia Article on Raids (Gaming)

There is no such thing as a "solo raid". It's like saying a single multiplayer game. No one arguing with you said people should be barred from Coil, or that people shouldn't help out. On the contrary a lot of raiders help others because that means there is a bigger pool of players to raid with. However we don't want to see content nerfed (and is the main argument), otherwise you are going to have players who can barely do the basic mechanics, mechanics they should have learned IN THE PREVIOUS COIL. If you can beat T5, you can beat T6-T8, if you can beat T6-T8, you can beat T9. If you can beat T9 you can pretty much beat anything (or so I heard). All this with practice of course. If you don't want to practice, if you don't want to put the effort in, then welp raiding isn't for you. That is ok, there is tons of other content out there for you to enjoy.

If your issue is about difficulty in joining a DF raid, then start or join a static. Heck, are you in a FC? Get a bunch of FC mates together and start raiding. This is how my static was created, it's just a bunch of FC members who wanted to raid and got together. What do you even mean by "As it stands now, there almost no reason to join any raid team. Its Called DF."? That's backwards logic since that is the primary way to complete coil! If this was the case, you wouldn't be complaining it takes 3h to start a Coil DF!

Generational problem indeed.

These are some really good points. Content dying out is already a huge problem and releasing content stillborn is something to be absolutely wary of.
Another thing that's not good about giving players easy skips is that they never learn basic things on easier encounters but get access to newer, more complex encounters and get completely walled.
Getting to T9 nowadays is really easy but T9 itself is actually quite a competency check.

Still missing the REAL point here. You'll never get it.
My standing stament is :The old Raids/Coils MAY become unplayble due to lack of interst lack or willness by
Vets to help out. Why not have a solo/small team mode?? That
lets the player(s) EARN the RIGHT to view a recap of the EVENTS that relate to the now OLD/unneed/unwanted first and second coil. Nothing handed out nothing being taken away from you. If you cant
understand this, then goodbye. I'll not talk on this anymore. Have a good life Magis.

There is always interest from someone somewhere and as I said, get like minded people together or ask help from your FC. They are already given the ability to earn the right. You act like they don't. Can someone on Ultros chime in on how the PF looks there, and how active T5/2nd Coil runs are? On Excalibur you still see people setting up runs for the old coils all the time.

"Players like yourself DRIVE other Players AWAY and kill off games before their time."
"Happy SE is Shutting down the Servers TODAY"

Wut? So beyond the hilarious... quotes? You said this is your first MMO, what would you know of "kill off games before their time"? This argument has been going on since the dawn of MMOs and many have risen and many have fallen since then. I don't think that has much bearing on the success of MMOs. FFXI had tons of elitism yet it last years. WoW has... well it's WoW and we know how that game is. EVE has trolling/piracy/scammers and it's allowed and has 1m players. Also, I'm deeply saddened you would be happy that SE would shut down the servers, because someone didn't agree with you. That's a bit selfish, isn't it? Luckily that doesn't seem likely, especially with a new expansion coming around.

So tell me, what defines a "player like myself"?

I'll not talk on this anymore. Have a good life Magis.

Or not, well toodles /wave!
