Patch 2.56 comming April 21

[JimboTCB]

I did all 12 Atmas in the space of about six hours or so yesterday. Wasn't so bad, but I can see how people would have hated it when drop rates were bad. Was just about to get started on books, so I'm quietly hoping for a gentle buff to the later relic stages so maybe I stand a reasonable chance of getting a Zeta done before 3.0 for the sake of completionism.

Well if they nerf fcob this patch what changes?
Ppl gonna clear normally as they were farming all week everyday.
Besides it's pretty close to expac so idk y u'd wanna cling onto something tht will be like lol wut its not even worth the hassle when u can do the new alexander raid etc.
soon ppl won't do fcob similar to how ppl don't do t3 because its pointless and will only be for clears and maybe crafting materials.
Hopefully they fix/ add a few more QoL things and tie up some loose ends before 3.0.

I'm sorry, I can't quite understand your language. Did you have a point mixed in there somewhere amongst the u, y, wut, ppl, tht?

In all seriousness, I don't think most are against them adding the Echo buff to FCoB. At least, most that I've seen so far (there were a few). Other than that, everyone's pretty much discussing about potential FCoB nerfs, abolishing the Poetics weekly cap, and stuff like that. I personally don't mind the Echo being introduced. Makes it easier to farm. \o/

For the sake of fun, I wouldn't want to see Imdugud, Kaliya and the bird sitting on a wheelchair. As you said, echo is okay. Selling it would make it way easier. Nerfs on the other hand... nope. Eff that.

If Second and Final Coil are really 20% easier then why are people STILL having problems with them? A company mate of mine runs a static and has made many runs on Turn 9 and still has yet to get a win. He's not some noobie, either, he's a Legacy just like me and has been on the forefront of all the content this game has to offer. I don't get this resentment over the easing of difficulty on Coil, those who care about it have all done it already. Let those who can't get a static group enjoy it for a change.

are you implying that with a 20 ilvl increase (when the fight came out 110 was the ilvl limit) and echo the fight is not easier? lol. is still a hard fight yeah, but it's a lot easier than what it used to be.

Because nobody likes to spend hours training to win something only to have it then handed out later with little to no effort, it belittles their achievement. This is an MMO, it is assumed you meet and socialize with people building up a network. It doesn't require a static to beat anything in XIV, it is more efficient but not at all required.

In my opinion, those who are equipped to handle the real world will find themselves building that network with competent players. Those who are extremely introverted and only socialize with people who they don't feel threatened by in some sense may never end up with a network of confident players. You can't punish the whole for the failures of the few and in reality the new "story" and "savage" raid modes aim to resolve that.

Probably T10-T12 echo, possibly nerfs... Though I don't see how 10 and 11 could be nerfed without making them absolute cakewalks. It'd be so fun if they removed tether + charge on 10 and thus made it the new T6.

well.......... remember T7 nerf? lol. I don't think they would remove tether, maybe just lower the damage it does when you get too far.

BTW peeps T9 is not going to get nerfed... ever... just look at T5 how old is that fight? it got echo that's it. T9 got the changes it was going to get and SE has no reason to nerf it specially with coil not being a prerequisite to do alexander. so hold on to your panties if you're hoping for T9 nerfs. same will happen with T13

They will eventually "change" something to the Coils as Yoshi-P stated he wanted more people to experience the stories of the Coil seeing as it's a big part of the FFXIV lore.

Though what it is remains to be seen... could be an "Easy mode" like they're doing with the Alexander raid or something else.

I really hope it's a ton of QoL additions.

And Chocobo during Queue...

And a better solution to both RMT & TT Tournament Cheating.
