Basically they are holding off implementing more buffs since they see that a lot of people are beating coil with current 15% buff... Would be nice if they announced this as a topic and not embedded as a reply in the JP forum.

Then you could run the risk of crashing into a wall and instantly dying, not to mention it would be an extremely counterproductive strategy to bypass a mechanic that is already easy to get through.

Twisters are easy if you Focus Target Twintania. Like people said before me, the only thing that the Echo is doing in this fight is getting each phase over with faster, and no amount of it will make up for not knowing mechanics.

it's not the only thing it does, that's completely wrong. a high enough gear/echo boost will allow 1 or 2 DPS to kill dreadknights even if the others died to twisters. it also allows solo healing for Death Sentence so you can afford having a healer die to Twisters. it allows for people to be dead at divebombs and you still have enough DPS to kill the snakes before Aetheric Profusion.

It doesn't matter if they increase it or not, it's not going to press buttons for you. What Twintania needs is aoe markers like ADS and all the other Coil bosses have, because you can't see where she is Divebombing (lag stops you from being able to look around the room to see which direction she is in) means you can only ever dodge it in one way.

AOE markers in T5 would mean it would be too easy though, it's only troublesome because you can't see any of the information.

They've never been good at this release promised things on time thing, always things getting pushed back, even small things like a 5% buff increase.

And they will apologize for it, as usual ^^

15% is already more than enough....if you can't pass twister with 15%, 20% won't help either since twister will one shot you anyway...
Echo buff only makes dps checks easier, really.
Anything that would one shot you doesn't effect at all...like Titan EX. lol
If you don't learn to dodge, no echo buff would help.

Yeah, I was wondering where it was last week. At this rate I wonder if they're going to skip 20% and just implement 30% on schedule (they were apparently never planning on having 25% according to the schedule given in the Live Letter XIII in march).

Idk, I don't get this mainly cause of the simplicity in implementing it. Right now there's a line of code that says 15% that would need to be changed to 20%. It's not a lot of work and there's even been maintenances right at the time it should've happened.

I'm just looking forward to turn 4 i55 spiritbonding parties with the 30%.

Last weeks maintenance was basically just server reboots, since it was different times for NA/EU and JP.
This weeks maintenance is more likely to include the buff as it's same time for both datacenters.

Doesn't matter what it was for, doesn't take long to go "oh yeah, we're supposed to change that 1 line of code from 15 to 20, might as well get that done too".
