    would you like a coils related dungeon?

    So something I've been thinking about ever since I did Research facility is if they made a coil themed dungeon where each Boss was a different play on a coil boss. Based on popular opinion obviously. Was alot of fun fighting the sphinx that took the shape of a few of them with similar if not dumbed down mechanics. Could even make it and 8 man instance with each trash pull requiring the party to split up in a way like focus certain adds or tanks tanking different sets of adds that would be each other things like that. Just an idea

    I always wanted to see a 24 man raid with coil bosses and each group would fight a dumbed down version (simply because of DF) and groups switch bosses during the fights and the groups have to react to mechanic changes. Or just any raid like that. Dungeon though? Coil 1-5 should be made 4 man's and ran at 60.

    Sohm Al is pretty much a light Coil trainer. The first boss is a simplified Turn 6 boss. The second mimics but reverses the red/blue missiles from T11 (T11 was "blue then red, stack then spread", and the last boss has a not-quite similar meteor mechanic to T9.

    That aside, I'm all for more anything with Allagan/Coil-like tech. ESPECIALLY if it's gear

    Yes...and Yes...and Hell yes...more Coil...loved it so much. Trying to get my FC static to run through all of Coil in one night to relive the memories and just for a nice time. Planning on doing it on all our off...off ....jobs.... So our tanks would be playing healers or whatever they are least good with. Can't wait it is going to be really fun. Not sure if we are going to gear dive it and sync to lowest level or not.

    Like...gobbiethings?

    I feel like they want to do something more like Coil. World of Darkness and some later content reaching into Heavensward had watered down version of Coil mechanics. We even got a miniature Rafflesia in one of the dungeons, and I believe it had one of her mechanics, albeit not as punishing. I can never quite figure out whether the devs are trying to get the community (particularly the "casual" players) used to mechanics and encourage them to raid harder content, or if it's their way of rewarding "hardcore" players.

    Or it could just be them wanting to reuse mechanics instead of coming up with new ones.

    I can't remember where I read it, but I do recall someone on the dev team mentioning the other pieces of Dalamud that fell as being "something we would visit in the future".

    When I saw the footage of Aethereochemical Research Facility and Fractal, I actually figured that was what those dungeons were, but I was pleasantly surprised. I assume we'll explore the dormant pieces later... and probably discover they're not quite as dormant as we thought.

    It's not so much I don't want new things I most certainly do but coils theme is one of my favorite. I remember the first time I actually got to do coil and getting my t9 coat. (Still my favorite) of course I wouldn't want them to go over board with reusing coil themes or that it even has to release particularly soon. Could be in patch 3.5 I wouldn't care just something to throw us back in the theme in a way and some of the difficulty. Most dungeons now are so brain dead easy.
