NO MORE ALEXANDER(NM)!

[Nadirah]

No the problem is that there was gear rewards for a story raid. A story raid that was built so people can experience the story.

Needing the gear to start progressing in savage was a well.... Heck you know what I'll say it. A dick move. To get people in it to help others clear. (Couldn't think of a nicer way to say it so ill call it like it is.)

You know whats also a dick move?

Thinking that only savage raiders deserve gear.

I totally agree that releasin NM before Savage was a bad idea (I don't run Savage btw, scheduling and lack of any desire). Mostly because they used it as a stepping stone. There aren't too many people who wouldn't be burnt out by that.

You'll never get that "epicness" feeling you got from your first raid ever again. It's like your first time for just about everything else.

I personally never found Coil to be "epic", but I've played other games that did the whole epic raid feel MUCH better.

Incorrect. Anything is better than playing with randoms you don't know, and doing challenging content with friends is the best thing this game has to offer.

I actually fully agree with Taei. And playing with randomers are more fun than playing with the same people over and over again , Alex allows that. You have more of a challenge and you get to educate others on the game mechanics , allowing THEM to share the same experience.

I'm EXTREMELY happy with HW raid system and I thanks Yoship for that. The community feels more open to help everyone.

Keep the NM mode and "SAVAGE" mode.

You obviously don't get it. That shit is illuminati cheese!!!! It's really important!!!

Aha! All the pieces are now falling into place!


But, I see from your avatar that you are a goblin sympathiser, and not to be trusted!

While its not my first raid (I am actually a very casual FFXIV player, other games I've played hard in.), you can't deny that Coil had a much "bigger" and much more important feel to it. I mean goblins...

In comparison to Alex, perhaps, but neither of them have that epic feel to me.

I've gone through mountains to kill dragons, mountains bigger than the entirety of all of Coil.

I've gone through complexes housing old gods designed by the giant race that shaped the planet.

I've been through caves where dragons go to die and Djinni palaces.

Coil and Alex are just.. bland in comparison.

This game's focus isn't raiding though, so I expect it.

Well honestly why do people who only want to do a story mode need gear?

Glamour is the real endgame (for me). Having said that though, Alexander gear is ugly as sin.

[Cinicus]

The main problem is all the new content is so "rushed" and void of all the wonderful creativity that was 2.x. Please SE spend the money to expand your team and make better content!

Coil didn't really feel all that epic, at least imho. Alexander felt bigger to me, but I will admit that Coil's story, or rather, the last part of the coil storyline was a hell of a lot better. FCoB's story, while not quite epic, was still interesting. My only gripe with Alex's story is the protagonist doesn't seem to have much of a personality. And the Oppressor looks like a steam punk baby lawn mower. That single eye...

Because there's no content after Alexander. Nope, won't be ever.

Okay.

Coil for the most part was a short series of rooms. Much like Alex. The *only* thing it had going for it was the story that went all the way back to 1.0. That's it. The zone itself was incredibly unimpressive.

Okay.

I imagine that Void Ark will have a i180 minimum. You can easily make that with Eso and Doman gear. You don't "need" the gear because you're not really facing any content that demands the numbers the higher ilevel gears give you.
