Coil Drops, Quality of Life Suggestions

[NeoAmon]

This topic have been repeated many times over and over ever since players have started clearing Coil. I thought an ultimate topic with few suggestions might get the developers attention and hopefully improve the drops for future content before we start stabbing ourselves in the eye from MNK/DRG drops.


• If a job is not in the Raid/Party, their drops should be excluded.

Coil drops are special, we only get a small chance per week to get something out of it. However, when a dedicated group suffer from repeated drops for a job that is not in the party over and over again, it becomes quite frustrating. I do understand this would be a double edged sword, but I think many of us do agree enough is enough, our imaginary dragoon already have a full set of Allagan gear, can we now gear the players whom are actually showing up for raids and gets nothing for their dedication & efforts?


• Equal distribution of drops between the two chests.

I don’t understand why a chest would host less items than the chest right next to it. If you take a look at the loot thread, you would understand each boss has 18 possible drop in 2 chests. However, instead of each chest hosting 9 drops, one of them will have less and the other will have more. This is not fair pure and simple, all jobs are equal, no one should get more of anything.


• Drops should not repeat before a full/half/quarter cycle per chest.

You know what is worse than dealing with MNK/DRG drops? Having the exact same drop in the same exact turn drop again in the following week. We had this happen to us as we had the MNK belt drop twice in a row, rage invoking incident .


I know not everyone going to agree, but please do understand many of us are suffering from the current loot system, and one day it will be your group turn to suffer from it unless something changes.

I would like a token system. So if you don't get your drops, 2 - 3 (excluding Jump One)runs will guarantee you an item at least. So you do Turn 1 - 4 but didn't get a drop, you can use all the tokens to buy a Allagan. :x

I agree with the OP, they need to fix the drops. i have ran coil almost 10 times now and have yet to see many many items, but dont worry we have seen 6 accessory's drop every week. this is unfair and pointless. they need to either go to a token system, even out the chance % drop rate or just make it so all chest drop from 1 cheat and all legs from another ect ect.

Same here. All we ever get is accessories. I think in total we might have gotten 6 armor pieces since we started 10 weeks ago? Would love to gear up our tanks but nah, RNG at its finest telling us we need more BRDs with earrings and wrists.

I honestly don't care which method they use to fix the current system. I just want my 8 man party to gear up, on the personal level I will be just as happy if anyone in my party gets something out of Coil. For two weeks now we had 4-6 MNK/DRG drops which is just urgh....our MNK is already full ilvl90...we are just passing those items around sitting in our bags to collect dust.

Hey man, I've had the Allagan Ring of Casting drop LITERALLY every single week since we started clearing Coil 1. That was 10 weeks ago. It'd be really nice if each chest did have 9 items each, but for whatever reason, in SE's infinite wisdom, they feel that everyone in my FC needs an Allagan Ring of Casting. I'm about to start selling them to pugs.

Would love a token system because I for 1 am tired of seeing tank drops and healer drops in my group, both healers and tanks are each 1 piece away from all i90 and our newest 3 week old smn pick up has already got more pieces than our other 3 dps. Our group has yet to see actual DoW dps gear, sure get some drg things, not as much as what others see, but to only get allagan earrings of aiming twice in the first two weeks as our only bard drops and to only get the monk pants and choker over a span of 7 weeks is complete crap.

In that case SE has to add new content every 2 weeks :P Personally I'm still pissed that its even 100% drop rate. To many crybabys wanted higher drop rate and now we have that stupid lock out after clearing. Thx again <.<

I would prefer now lock out and low drop rate... Because, lets face it, T1-T4 can be done in 2hrs ...
