Preparing for Coil

[ufufu]

The best part? By doing this all in 2.1, you'll rapidly reach the same point that hardcores have worked day-and-night over the last 3 months to get to.

This is what some people really believe.

This is what some people really believe.

Yeah, 'some people' like Director Yoshi-P.

GW: Top being higher is easy to understand, but what do you mean by “the bottom of the slope will get easier”?

Yoshida: The top of the Binding Coil of Bahamut will not change in 2.1, this will not change until patch 2.2. In patch 2.1 we’re going to have 3 dungeons, 2 hard mode, and one high difficulty dungeon, so the amount of tokens will be more than what it is now. Therefore, it will be easier easier to increase your item level. Also you will be able to obtain more of the one rank lower token output will increase, so you can gain item levels at more ease. So it will be easier to reach the top. But in patch 2.2 the top (end-game) will get higher, so top players will go even further top. And then the contents will spread (imagine a mountain with pointed top [end-content] and wider bottom [contents getting eased over time]). This cycle will start from patch 2.1.

Every time a new iLvl of gear is released, the rest of the content becomes easier to get through.

So those relentless grinding runs to get the latest gear? Well, I hope you really enjoyed them. Because after the next patch, newbs will have that gear handed to them like candy.

Ad infinitum...


Enjoy the treadmill~
