When do we think Final Coil Lockout is getting removed?

[Veerne]

Nobody knows how they're handling the gear in the expansion. There's no guarantee it'll be 'extremely useless'.

It would be silly if they decided to keep level 50 gear useful at level 60. I would imagine you could use it for leveling but once you hit 60 you need get new gear.

Would be kinda cool if it was unlocked a bit before expansion. Was cool when you farm 2nd coil and get what u wanted after lock was removed. Then again all dreadwyrm gear is fugly as hell + useless at 3.0. Might aswell unlock asap, and we could actually use it, instead of getting nothing but caster gear every week....no1 is gonna want to go back into fcob for vanity, but plenty go scob for vanity still. What a shame.

Never!!!!! (just playin')

Probably a month before expansion is released. They will encourage us to gear up all our classes before expansion hits.

Since the next end game raid will be released during the expansion, it would be nice if they removed the lockout a few weeks prior to the end raid's launch. That being said, I don't expect this to be done at all. But, hey, you could go back to the Coils for glamour gear (some of that High Allag stuff looks really nice).

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't during an expansion pre-launch event. 3.0 at the latest, though.

Just speculation here but I think the final coil lockout will get removed in late March with patch 2.5 part 2, which will give people like a month or 2 before 3.0 comes out and a chance to gear up more easily in final coil gear before it becomes useless in 3.0 with the release of new level 60 gear.

Removing the lock when the Alexander raid comes out in 3.0 doesn't make sense because nobody will want to do final coil for useless lv50 gear once 3.0 is out and new level 60 cap gear is available.

zumi has it right. sorry guys but 3.0 is not like a 2.6 content patch with new turns would have been. its a complete new endgame. lvl 50 gear wont matter for more than 1 day once you reach 60 thats for sure. NOBODY will go and still do fcob once they can level up instead. if the devs are not retarded they will remove the lockout about 1 or 2 months before heavensward starts so people actually CAN enjoy thier final coil gear before it becomes obsolete. anyone who thinks a lvl cap is not going to reset gears is just plain wrong or extremely optimistic on this case. when 2.4 and 2.2 were released it was diffrent : reason the old coil gear still helped you on the new coil turns. tough with a lvl cap increase this is not gonna help you do jackshit on alexander. threating it the same way was before would be utterly stupid by the devs. people wont quit the game 1 month before the addon launches just because they finish thier gear.

I'd say before the expansion. Maybe 2.56.

Probably Before the Fall Pt. 2 - or a month or two before the expansion arrives, I really don't see it staying locked all the way until the expansion releases.
