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

[Kuwagami]

Let me ask you a simple question. Why would the developers make a story mode to the game when they want you to play the content? SE is not going to make content, and give reasons for you to not do it. They went out of their way to make raiding accessible to casuals and hardcore and still continue to find ways to influence people to go in there. Why in the world would they create a feature that influences you more to not do it? It is bad game design. They even ease the Coils with nerfs and echo buff to at least influence you to try it later if the content in it's prime is too much for you.

Please stop ignoring what I'm saying and you'll have your answer :/

These are your words.

Mine are to put these nerfs (with additional for T5 and T9 instant kill mechanics, no need for a lot, meteors and twisters would be a start, maybe elementals stacking to, upped to 2 max instead of one now) in a new mode called "story mode", while what was previously prime content remains untouched.


To put it simply :
=> 2.0 : T1-5
=> 2.2 : T6-9. T1-5 get added to DF, untouched, along with a new "story mode" having the nerfs + echo. Story mode doesn't grant access to T6 (need to beat regular T5)
=> 2.4 : T10-13. T6-9 get added to DF, untouched, along with "story mode" , yet again not grating access to T10. You can get access to T6 story by beating T5 story
=> 3.0 : T10-13 get added to DF, you get what I mean.

This is different from what we have now in only a few things :
=> story mode has no loot, while current nef + echo has
=> story does not unlock next tier of relevant content
=> regular coil remains untouched for those who want the challenge + access to latest raid available
=> (major drawback here) it needs more instances to be made compared to what we have now. That means more coding, even though the rest of the work (nerf + tests + balancing) remains the same.
