Coils of Bahamut... and its inconsistent challenge level.

[Neophyte]

3. And in this thread I have some people who seem to have no clue that Coils is old news and not "the latest uber raid", and no one plays it anymore so if you want to make it relevant with the new content its got to change, either up or down, and not stay as some half assed "glory days" wannabe.

I don't think half the people on this board even play the game seriously anymore... and if I can pick that out... the devs likely can spot it a mile away too...
They likely don't even bother to read these boards anymore.... So its a complete waste of time. The people here are just that out of touch with the actual game as it is now.

We know that and because it's old news we don't want any resource spent to alter those fights and add new versions.
And not only the old ARR ones, no, with release of Stormblood pretty much every hard HW fight has to be touched, too.
No, thanks.

And maybe you're the one who doesn't play this game enough.
DF is only for high frequented content, cross-server party finder is the thing to go for any content (which is not that popular anymore) synched (i.e. almost as hard as the original and yes, most likely not many people joining) or unsynched (i.e. find people and clear every fight within few minutes, if you can't do or don't want to learn mechanics you can kill yourself and the others will carry you).

"No one plays it anymore"? That's a lie, I did 3 sets of 2nd/3rd coil in the last 2 weeks alone in about 10 minutes each set (if you don't count cutscene time).

And what about the countless people who just do this within their fc or friends, because 3-4 a t least a bit competent people can carry anyone through this fights without even looking for other people.
Well, that'd would be a 4th set in the last 2 weeks for me, because we carried one new member through Coils recently, too.

Go play this game more, pls.

The ammount of people not able to do coils at all with the current options is soooo abysmal small. I know that because I never did fail a coil group I joined out of.. idk.. a couple hundred fights now? Yes, maybe I wiped once, twice or a bit more.. but it was still always beaten in maybe 15 minutes, but most likely 1-2 minutes.
Sooo, everyone who wants will get their kill, so who is the group who actually needs those nerfs and how big is it?

You can be sure, it's way smaller than the group of people who still like the level 50 fights and do them either at level 50 just for fun (with their group) or with less than 8 people unsynched to see how well they do.
