{future} release Brutal at the same time

[Hollow_Tears]

If I remember correctly the brutal mode is for T1-T5 not the ScoB which is T6-T9 and as some people have said wear lower ilvl gear if you want some challenge back even if you know what to do, the lower gear will take you longer to kill the enemy.

I think it makes sense to have CT after Coil. If you can't beat Coil before the next patch, you get more choice in gear that could help you. And with the oil/sands/tome (whatever drops in CT) it will be another little step to make Coil slightly easier with ilvl110 equipment you wouldn't found anywhere else.

Then what did I read in a live letter that said brutal mode is the original content before they buffed/nerfed it and where does it say ScoB got nerfed and that they are releasing a harder version of it.

When they mentioned the Brutal mode is the pre-nerf version, they were referring to the developmental nerf (pre-release). Basically they built fights with all kinds of mechanics, then as they tested the fights they would throw in indicators and ques to make the fight more manageable.

It was mentioned somewhere that the Brutal version is going T6-T9 when they were talking about the requirements/lock-outs for the mode.

Update: Found it!

Greetings,

The “Brutal” version of the Second Coil of Bahamut turns will share the same clear flags as the regular version, so clearing it will count towards your progress for the week. Also, if you cannot clear the brutal version of turn 1, for example, you’ll be able to leave and try the regular version. The rewards will be the same and this content is only there for the bravest to test their might.

Now that I re-read this, it does not actually imply that T1-T5 for Brutal will not exist, only that 6-9 will have a lockout included.

Thank you for clarifying it for me Codek I stand corrected on those parts.
