Adamantoise Progression Thread

[Tivia]

As a note:

In an effort to continue cleaning and organizing the list, I would like to purge guilds from the list that have not accomplished a Minimum of Coil 1-4 or at least 1 Extreme mode. Normal and Hard modes are fully pugged at this point and I frankly do not consider them progression. Likewise coil 1-4 can be easily pugged. I basically want to eliminate the guilds that are essentially inactive that I have no other means of confirming and keep this list about "Progression". My proposal is as follows; I would be changing the normal/hard/extreme to be more indicative of what was actually done focusing more on current progression. Here is a small sample of what the new format would look like. I will leave this as a proposal until Friday March 7. If I get no feedback against it, I will move forward with updating the original post. The goal of this is aimed at prepping for 2.2 and the next tier of progression. I don't want to maintain a list of extremely old content as it just makes it messy to keep up with and read. As such once 2.2 goes live, coil 1-4 will be removed entirely off the list and Twintania will only be maintained so long as it remains a gateway into coil 6-9. I will treat the primals the same going forward where the most difficult versions will be maintained, while older trivial content will be removed.

Edit - Code moved to original post.

Tivia,

Could you include this link in your original post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ression-Thread

I am trying to get a world progression thread started for top guilds from every server and to get a better idea for world firsts. I figured if it is included in server progression threads it can raise awareness and provide a place for a quick link to it. Thanks

Please Read the note at the top of the thread regarding progression. Please continue to post Turn 5/Extreme primals (G, T, I) here, but understand I will not be updating the list with those kills for a period of 1 week to judge the strength of the Echo buff. Please bear in mind I want you to continue posting your kills on turn 5. Even if it is trivial to a degree, we still want to recognize up and coming talent for the accomplishment. So as of 4-3-2014 I will assess the number of kills that happened and if turn 5 has been trivialized to the point of no longer justifying it as official progression or not.

Congrats Everyone!

Update to the OP ~

Cleaned up code a good bit more and in that also defined the tiers of progression a bit more. After watching it closely I believe that T5 is easier, but far from being non progression worthy. As such i simply created an additional Tier so up and coming guilds can still down it and get on the list.

So Moving forward. Tier 1 will always be the most challenging content in the game, Tier 2 After that and Tier 3 will likely remain Extreme primals in some form depending on how the Devs evolve the game. This cleanup also allows me to update the list a bit easier as the older code was very prohibitive when it came to adding new guilds into the list. I can now do so far easier without it becoming an unintelligible mess.

As always, I welcome feedback on the direction I am moving this thread. I want it to remain as fair as possible while keeping the list reasonably uncluttered.

Ok guys, I have some extra time here in the near future. As such I'm going to make a couple changes.

1) I doing to add in game tags beside the names on the list.
2) Going to eliminate primals off the list. Mostly because It has become pretty obvious at this point that no one really considers them progression. This barring anyone having a reasonable argument as to why I should keep them.

So Please post your Name and Tag so I make sure it is 100% accurate.

Example Dark Horizon <DH>

And also if someone has a particular objection to primals being removed off the list as I prepare the list to handle 2.4 content..fire away. I want to start making the major changes by next week. So let people know in the various guilds to get here and post their information.

Thanks
