Booing when Coil2 Nerf was announced

[Hyrist]

Actually, they could have decided to nerf it at an even later date due to the protests. They also could have completely ignored the protests. Either way, you can't really know for a fact that it was all for nothing.

Factually incorrect.

They already said that adjustments to SCOB was planned for weeks into the patch, not right at the patch.

Re-read what I wrote. "At an even later date". I didn't say that they planned it for this patch.

I was addressing that persons assumption that the protests "are for naught". Unless a dev posts(or talks) about it, you never know what player feedback influences dev choices. Player feedback, for or against a nerf, is good and I don't think it should be discouraged completely.

As of this moment, the patch notes doesn't even explicitly say that weekly lock outs are gone.

Patch 2.4 Notes (Preliminary) (10/24/2014)

This was asked about on the previous page and answered. In the other thread as well.

They clearly stated at FanFest that they will evaluate SCOB after patch release before making any type of adjustments. The same for Echo as well, like they did with 1st Coil.

There is no direct nerfs or echo right away because they want to see how many players clear it now that the lockout is gone. To see how much echo or adjustments they need to add. They said at fanfest they would wait a few weeks before making adjustments.

The content is actually naturally nerfed at 2.4 because people have access to higher ilvl gear, tomestone gear, final coil gear that did not exist when 2nd coil is current. I wouldn't expect any echo/nerfs till 2.43 or 2.45.

Yeah, "No nerfs in Coil" was actually standard in 2.2, as well. Echo doesn't get added until interim QoL patches, and it's eased in about 5% at a time.

For mechanical changes you can probably expect things like the ADS paralyze nerf, or the various nudges that were done to Twintania.
