Will we be getting larger raid tiers?

[Zumi]

4 bosses in the current raid tier doesn't seem like much content. What I am talking about top tier end game which is Coil.

SE seems to be alternating the casual content (Crystal Tower) with the hard core content (Coil) every other patch cycle. If you do Coil you don't have to do the casual content (Crystal Tower) if you don't want to or care about gearing alt jobs. They said that patches would be like every 3 months or so. So essentially a new raid tier every 6 months.

If I look at another game Blizzard does pretty much the same thing with WoW. They have a big raid tier every 6 months , MoP raids Tier 14 (16 bosses), Tier 15 (13 bosses), Tier 16 (14 bosses). A lot more bosses for players to kill.

One of the reasons hard core people run out of content is that there are only 4 encounters total in Coil. So will we eventually be getting bigger raids in upcoming patches now that the groundwork is set for the game? Its kind of sad when your a end game player and only need to play for like 3 hours 1 day a week.

it was to my understanding that The Binding Coil of Bahamut isnt even complete. We have "5" turns right now, 4 bosses, but i dont think that is the end of Coil. I always thought that coil would probably gain another 5-6 turns/bosses before it was complete

Correct. I believe it was stated in the last live letter that BCoB would receive more turns in 2.2, with more floors added to Crystal Tower in 2.3, and so on back and fourth like that.

We know coil is getting 5 more turns in 2.2, one of those turns however could turn out to be another turn 3 though. The OP isn't asking for more turns eventually as it is guaranteed there will be more, what they are asking for is more than 4-5 bosses to last players 6 months until the next set of turns comes out.

Before people come here and say it, more bosses in CT every 3 months will not cut it for those doing coil and progressing for the 3 months before. It's clear they want CT to be a step below coil in progression each time they add more on to it, which means for the people doing coil and getting gear that is better than what can be gotten out of CT that CT becomes wasted content that will only gear alts.. It would be nice getting more than 4-5 bosses on a 6 months basis when it's only 5 turns being added.

dear god i hope not.

i would rather have to do a 30 minute gauntlet of 4 turn 2s in a row than have another mid-raid intermission.
