Thread: 2.2 killed my static

If you've already beat t5 and everyone's i90 I can 100% understand quitting Coil before 2.2. It's just a matter of perspective - why continue to do content that you've already entirely done and capped on armor ilvl? Do you really NEED that +5 Crit Rate difference? While I love all my friends in FF14, I'm not coming back to do anything 'til 2.2; Everyone needs a break, you can't bang your head against content forever that will immediately be irrelevant to you in the next patch. Even if you don't have an Allagan Weapon, we're looking at new weapons that will be way better in way easier content (if Levi EX drops weapons they'll definitely be either on-par or above with Allagan).

Just chill out for a week, Coil will still be there in 2.2. Infact, more of it!

if only more people shared this attitude.

Watch there's a lock-out on Coil 1-5...

I don't recall them every saying it would be a free-for-all, just that the current lock-out was moving to T6-9. It may be we have a CT-like lock-out on T1-5 now.

We'll know on Sat I bet.

2.2 comes out in two weeks, so I could understand people not wanting to raid these next two weeks.

And if its really because "There is no lockout in 2.2" because your group wants to farm Coil T1-T5 loots that gear is going to be irrelevant anyways.

Probably going to need coil 1-5 gear to do coil 6-10.

I don't know about anyone else....but with the myth currently capped I have almost never actually hit the cap. I simply don't have that much time OR that much desire to grind out the same couple of dungeons over and over until I reach it.

When the cap goes away, I'll probably be even less driven to get Myth since I now don't have an arbitrary number I'm supposed to get to each week.

Yea, I have to agree. I mean, sure I could get some myth tomes to gear another job up or something. But that isn't really that much fun. Gear in this game is kind of pointless. It's supposed to be something we are working for, some goal in this game. But is it really something that is worth it? Like do i really need some piece of gear that is 1% better so I can be a bit better for my 2 hour coil run each week? I think the priorities set up for us in this game could be improved upon.

For instance, just having a few other things to do in a given week besides just grind tomestones would be good. Maybe there could be some other metric? Like if we aren't getting more bosses or raids very quickly, how about some weird achievements to go do or something? It's not like anyone can show off their achievement points. It's not going to allow people to flex epeens. Most lodestone profiles have the default setting, which is to block showing achievements. The only person that knows you beat them is you. Some say people should make their own goals but, what fun is that? If me and a friend want to do some goal, how do we know we are doing the same one if there is no measurement in game? Having something else to use this gear for that we are grinding for would be really nice. Thank you.
