Coil Lockout - Abuse

[Elim]

Hello everyone,

We've confirmed with the Duty Finder lead that the team is aware of these instances of abuse such as was mentioned in this thread. The team, and Producer Naoki Yoshida will carefully look into this.

I don't PuG coil anymore, but I'd hate read about people abusing the lockouts for coil 6-9 when they come out. Hopefully something can be done about this issue before then.

Personally, I don't think people should be locked to a turn unless they down a boss in it. As in, once they down a boss and leave the instance, they're locked out to the next instance of coil.

That or another idea could be to simply put coil 6-9 in Party Finder(1-5 will be in it anyway), since that way everyone will see which turn they're entering and have to agree to it.

btw if u'r not sure, just check entrance so u can't enter and game tell u what turn are u entering.

Perhaps individual turn lockouts would be more appropriate? I.E. You were present when loot dropped on this coil, thus, you are locked out, but not for ones before/after. Would still have to progress from beginning if you were group leader, though. No 'saved' progress.

Here is a small thing that definatelly needs to be fixed.
I've seen the following scenario from a troll.

He asks members for T1 coil ... when he makes the team he ports us in and we discover we are in coil t4 !!!

Too late now - we are all stuck in t4 and missed the first kills.

Can this somehow be avoided - especially in pugs that you dont always know with who you play ?

I hope you reported that player!=/

Simple fix is toss up a dialog box. You are being queued for XXXXX. Yes or No

It's very simple SE - Stop the lockout nonsense unless a person has actually cleared that particular turn. Being pulled into Turn 4, while not even having finished turn 1, and not being able to go back and clear 1-3 later is simply bad design.

All they need to do is add a popup to enter the instance that says the current turn/progress and all users click yes, just like ANY other instance you enter ans this goes away

I dunno most MMOs solve this by, you don't get locked out until you kill a boss.

I will never pug coil so long as SE leaves lockouts like this. If I do, I will need to hear them over a VOIP program just to reassure that these are actual players and not a troll.

Actually the right way is to put a lockdown on player upon COMPLETION of a certain turn and not upon ENTERING one.
So if you just entered T4 nothing should happen. And if you complete T4 you have to be locked to T5.
