Final coil in duty finder

[Raikki]

Er... am I misunderstanding, or is the loot lockout staying? ._.

There was never a loot lockout. The limited ability to re-run a turn and get 0-1 chests based on how many people hadn't cleared it yet that week will not be a thing anymore after the patch because DF-based Coil has no progression saving.

Hmmm doesn't mention loot. Just that the entrance lockout is gone.

There was never a weekly loot lockout in coil, it was only a limited number of chests based on saved progression. No saved progression means no chest limit.

Yes, there was. Considering that the person who already cleared for the week could not get loot (or even see the 1 chest) that the non clearing members got, that is considered a lockout. Once a player passes a turn, he or she could not see a chest from that turn for the rest of the week (the non clearing members could, but not the past clearer).


Again, you are unable to get loot by repeating or going back in a turn after completion. The rest of the party (those who hadn't cleared or skipped that turn already) could. Please don't spread false information.

others already said it, but that was based off of saved progression. with final coil in DF, there is no saved progression.

Yes, after it's put into duty finder this will be the case. I'm talking about her statement based on right now.

Her comment was that there was never a loot lockout. There currently is.

There's no saved progression anymore, there's no such thing as "passing a turn for the week" once it switches to the duty finder system.

Sorry for the confusion, I was merely trying to distinguish the fact that the current system is progression based rather than loot based, so talking about a "loot lockout" (akin to CT) doesn't make sense under the context of access via DF since the system now does not care if you got loot or not, it's just designed to limit the total number of chests to no more than 1 per 4 players.

I did T13 multiple times last week. Could only lot on the first 2 chest. While its not a WoD type lock out, its a lock out.

I see what you're saying and was thinking the same thing at first, but consider the logistics of putting FCoB in the DF and keeping that loot lockout. It would either have to match all first time clears or inadvertently penalize people for using DF. Imagine on your first clear for the week you're paired with 5 people who already cleared that week. No loot for you and you'd have no way of knowing until the boss was killed (unless people told you they cleared).

Not only does SE not want to create these sort of very frustrating situations, it would probably be even more frustrating to program the system to work that way. As such, there's almost certainly no more loot restrictions.

Currently it does tell you how many people cleared for the week before you enter. But yes your point makes sense.
