Coil Story mode in development.

[EdwinLi]

So latest live letter mentioned Coil Story Mode in development as a way for players that only aim for the Coil story to access the Story only but not the Coil endgame loot and battles. (Guessing they'll be making new boss battles unique to Coil Story Mode)

Guessing they may have some plans to link Main Scenario story together with Coil storyline or make Coil Storyline required for a certain "Giant Boss" Battle for a future Trial Content or maybe the new Raid may require players to complete Final Coil so Yoshi-P doesn't want a very large amount of people stuck in COil and not able to enter the new Endgame Dungeon.

So what do you think about Coil Story Mode arrival?

In before countless pages of elitist "i'm better then you, coil isnt even hard, lol" posts.

A story mode with no loot wouldn't harm anyone and the story of coil is something that even the casual RPers should see. The only benefit the casual players would gain is getting to see the story of coil.

As long its release a long period of time after each coil, fine, I guess.

Still think that's lame...

And for the constant nerfing, the newer player base wont be improving as fast, meaning that getting really good players together in a team will become harder.

It hurts to know that tunnel vision problem will carry on beyong t7,t8 and t9

Allow me to be the first elitest to suggest that it was unneeded, and congratulate qq'ers on another victory.
Enjoy!

I'm not an elitist, only recently have beaten first coil and just started with the second. And as a casual player, I think it's unneeded and unnecessary. Since the weapons and drops are completely outdated, the only incentive to do coil was to advance the storyline and watch the cutscenes. I really hope they won't implement the story mode. If you want to see the cutscenes without putting any effort into this - go watch it on youtube.

As long as it's on the side and doesn't impede on the current difficulty of SCoB (aside from Echo which doesn't help much anyway/can be turned off,) don't see a reason to be against it. The most frustrating part of coil is actually getting static people together for progressive learning; having to swap out or replace people resets that process and minimal progression is made.

It doesn't affect my gameplay in any way if it's a side difficulty, and the original difficulty is intact. As for the story thing, telling everyone go to youtube... that's only sweeping the issue under the rug and you might as well tell them to watch a playthrough of levels 1-50 for the game (thus losing developer money.)

And that's why I don't bother with the coil; between my erratic schedule and groups that can fluctuate, I wouldn't get anywhere and be beating my head against each turn wall.

It's a good idea and should be released a good bit after the turn was released. 9-12 months IMO.

I have a dozen or so t9 clears but have plenty of friends that don't have the time or patience to do coil that would love to see a watered down version.

But the story is the reward. Clearing T5 - you experience a story that has orders of magnitude more quality than anything else up to that point because it's difficult. "Oh no. Leviathan's going to make it rain! Warrior of Light, we beseech your succor once more." Now players want something they can steamroll just to view the story. Even with a story mode in development, and I hate to be part of this crowd, I'm still going to say it. Just YouTube it.

Gear is the cake. Story is the candles.

If they removed the story altogether and placed it someone else, only a very small percentage of raiders would give a damn.
