patch 2.2 turn 1-5 easier.....

**Razzelmire** · 01-26-2014 06:27 AM

I'm not ok with them making T1-5 easier and it's now part of the reason I am quitting this game. I've been working very hard to get FC members in my FC to work up to being Coil ready so we can down T1 to T5 in the mode it's in pre-patch. We managed to get a 6-man group and have to PUG 2 more for now.

Now Square Enix is punishing my loyalty to my FC by nerfing T1-5. If I soloed this, I'd have jumped into a T1-T5 party and beat T5 a long time ago. Now we have to scramble within the next month or so to beat T5? And we haven't yet mastered T4 with our group?!

Sorry, Square Enix, you lost a customer. Made me, and many others, bust ourselves dry to beat Coil as it is and you still want to screw us over.

Simple solution to this. Offer Coil T1-5 as a Normal and Hard Mode. Normal Mode is the nerfed version and Hard Mode is the original version of Coil. Simple.

The Normal version can get you access to T6-9 with i80 or i85 drops, the Hard version can get you the Allagan gear.

Stop your crying. You obviously haven't played any other MMO for any extensive period of time if you don't understand what is happening. New content = old content gets nerfed. Of the NA servers, not including Legacy servers, I'd say maybe 400-500 out of the millions of subscribers have actually downed T5. Sure a nerf is always seen as a bad thing, but tbh, if you already don't have your group, how do you expect to clear much anyway?

If you're struggling with Turn 4 at this late stage, when most people have at least 1 near or full i90 job, then you have no chance of beating Twintania anyway. The difficulty jump between Turn 4 and 5 is huge.

If you love bashing your head against 1-4 so much, why aren't you looking forward to bashing your head against 6-9? It will be just as hard. And if your current rate of progress is any indication then you can be assured that 6-9 will keep you busy and happy bashing your head against bosses for a very long time.

You should be loving this patch.

Clearly you people missed out on my solution.

Make a Story Mode version of 1-5 and a Hard Mode version. The Hard mode keeps the original difficulty settings and drops Allagan gear. The Story mode is easier so you can get to Turn 6-9.

SIMPLE!

Why is that hard to understand that is a great idea!?

Because it would take less time to just have the echo buff, and it's optional and only occurs when you die too many times.

I understand your frustration but this is simply how MMOs work. Turns 1-5 have been in the game since launch day November 27(24 for ER) and 2.2 isn't hitting until March which means you've had 4+ months to work on four boss fights. I wish you the best and hope you get T5 down before 2.2.

Launch was August 27. That's 7 months.

Also, from what SE has said, the only easing may be that you can wear higher iLevel gear (that maybe is only obtainable from turns 6+ or other highest-level new content anyway...), and a buff you might only get after a failed attempt, but that you can disable to experience the original difficulty.

Balancing the wants/needs of the HC and the wants/needs of the casual is the hardest part of designing and maintaining any MMO.

Knowing this you must understand that you may be in that very difficult "Grey Area" where often only some of your wants/needs may be met. It sounds to me like you're not exactly a HC player nor are you a strictly Casual player either. I'm similar in that regard though i have a different perspective on the changes.

They aren't punishing you they are rewarding you with faster progression to reach the next level of difficulty.

It's all a matter of perspective.
