[REQUEST] Remove coil weekly lockouts

[Taruranto]

I really Yoshida puts a lockout behind the ability to log on. We don't want to play too much, we should only play 2 hours at day and those who can managed these 2 hours will be the best!

Also please Yoshi, put a lockout behind crafting, please! So only the best crafters can be the best!

<3 lockouts. <3 when I log and I can't do x because I'm locked. And it's so funny how I can't play endgame with my FC and friends. <3

Remove the lockout, keep the loot lockout. If people are so worried about selling runs then make it against the ToS and you can report them.

Lockouts are a detriment mechanically in terms of play and socially in terms of both the server at large and FCs themselves. So yes please, but keep the loot lockout as a way for SE to buy time between contents.


Anticipating response:

Q. What about players who will not use their "roll" when the loot they want isnt there? No lockout means they can just go again till they get what they want!
A. Repeating the hardest content in the game to get one piece of gear you wanted isn't the worst thing I've heard of, however if that was a significant concern you could make it so your first run is your "roll" run.

Q. Why do content that wont earn you anything (after you use your roll), even if there wasn't a lockout?
A. What I would like to see is rewards for doing such content, like seals (sol, allied) or even better opportunity to earn vanity or more particularly FC vanity. Doesn't need a reward though... I do Relic story/Titan for my FC that need it for relic, and I don't get or want anything from it.

People gravitate to where others are helpful and friendly. Coil causes players to become less friendly with time due to the fact everyone wants their chance at the loot drops for the week and don't want to backpedal by adding new players into the mix. Even if that is not the case, players get tired of running the same set of bosses every single week, and so they do the content more out of loyalty to their group than any personal enjoyment. Because of how unpleasant it is to try to communicate with those kinds of players, it puts the very content they run in a negative light. Why would anyone want to run content that makes players into stress-inducing a-holes in a game based around the enjoyment of the presence of other people? And don't get me started on how joining a group at a later turn forces the new party member to forfeit all previous turns for the week... <shivers>

So yeah, the current raid environment for 2nd Coil has a lot going against it. I've raided in MMORPGs for a very long time, and even though I'm surrounded with players who have more than adequate skills to be raiding, the vast majority would prefer to avoid coil and just do hunts. That kind of says something about the social ramifications of this aging content model... it needs some serious changes.

edit: Forgot to mention, two of my previous static groups completely dissolved the second hunts came out. They didn't leave the game, and they legitimately want to raid, but can't get people to stick around to do the raids anymore.

The shunners of this idea are ignorant to mechanics and difficulty of T6-T9.
Although it is to be expected that the lockout will eventually be taken away in 2.4, There will be NO harm in removing it in 2.35. IMO, T6-T9 is carry proof unless the other 7 people are super uber geared that have dps pushing 500+ DPS throughout an entire fight.

Removing the lockout will balance out the hunts and bring back interest into raiding and those who are already i110 have a reason to actually the play the game (High Allagan Weapons)

Not going to change. You think this is the first thread in a year to request it? Nope.

It will change when they are ready to change it, like it did with first coil and CT. Till then just focus on the progression that isn't as limited. Unless you own all solidiery gear and upgraded it all, then SCOB isn't a big deal.

Is wasting your subscription to be able to do meaningful content only once at week that fun?

Wasting your sub? Subjective.
Meaningful content? Subjective.
Fun? Subjective.

Seems to me you just want to force your opinion on others.

I believe the "shunners of the idea" are probably more understanding of the mechanics than you seem to be. Only SCoB:T4 *might* be tough to carry, but you forgot (or neglected to mention) a crucial thing; solo tank is a thing. Many groups of capable of clearing it with 2 tank, 4 dps, 2 healers. Remove 1 tank for carry and you can still win everything.

There should be a lockout removal. However, it should be on Savage Coil only.

That being said;
