Thread: Future CT and Coil difficulty?

I don't think I've seen this question asked, or the subject defined by SE (If it has, more info please).

Ok, if BCoB Turns 1-5 are higher difficulty than Crystal Tower (as it was originally supposed to be in game at launch for progression to Coils 1-5), what will be the difficulty level for the next rounds of each? I ask this because in patch 2.2 will be the next set of Coil turns and in 2.3 will be Crystal Tower again. Will they be back tracking on content difficulty every other patch? I.e Coil (2.2) harder than Coil 1-5, but Crystal Tower (2.3) less difficult than Coil (2.2) though still more than T1-5? So [ CT (2.1) -> Coil 1-5 -> CT (2.3) -> Coil (2.2)]

Or assuming after CT (2.1) it increases in difficulty there out, would it be a large jump from Crystal Tower (2.1) to Crystal Tower (2.3)? So difficulty wise its [CT (2.1) -> Coil 1-5 -> Coil (2.2) -> CT (2.3)]?

And that is my fear IF it turns out to be true. Adding content that is weaker than the last patch.

No. He's not saying that the new content is weaker, he's saying it's stronger. he's not using greater than signs to indicate difficulty progresson, he's indicating the order of the content.

the expansions to CT and coil will be harder, not easier. I wouldn't expect a "large jump" but there will be progression. Also, with scripted encounters, its almost always "hard" the first time, and easy after that.

Finally, not every patch has to have harder content than the previous one. That's not something to "fear." they have to make content for everyone, not just the people who want OMG HARD HARD HARD MAKE THIS HARDER HARD stuff.

CT part 2 will be harder than CT part 1.
Coil part 2 will be harder than coil part1. that's all we can be really sure of.

These patches are going to be large, I don't believe everything should be harder. Just certain content, obviously Coil and CT are not the only things being added with each patch.
