Lets Talk ARR Content Revival: Coil

[JiraTyanu]

Hallo! Just dropping in to kinda bring up something dear to me!

So over the past year or two I have been getting more and more of a urge to go back and run older content like The Unending Coil of Bahamut and time and time again I have mentioned how it was a shame that SE abandoned it after ARR.

So this is where I kinda have some very strong opinions on this and I wanted to share them:

Coil is one of my favorite raids hands down, the bosses are challenging when synced, it actually requires significant amount of progression, the fights are one of a kind, mechanics actually have to be followed, the story ties very heavily into the base game, and so on!

So.. I have to ask, why is it SE abandoned it so clearly? Is there -any- way that they can revive it? Giving players a chance to experience what those of us who have played since ARR managed to?

That requires too much effort for this community apparently. Don't be surprised if they cut raids all together.

They even made a thread complaining that unsync'd content might be harder in the future too.

As far i know they didn't "abandon" it, the story for it was completed.

You mean other than playing it synched?
What kind of a revival did you have in mind?

[JiraTyanu]

Something like using it as a new raid specifically for blue mages and stuff with a system allowing it to be played through synced? Just a shot in the dark, something to give it new life.

I'd say you have a better shot at requesting something like what they're doing for the Unreal trials. Make the coils (and other old raids, I guess?) consistent up-to-date max level content with new rewards.

There isn't really going to be a good way to keep them in the state they are without recycling them into new endgame and I'm not sure how well that'd go across.

That would also be very nice, I'd love to do coil again at max level!

They could develop an Unreal-esque system for older raids, which I do think they should, albeit more rewarding than what is currently there with Unreal trials

Take your irrelevant comments elsewhere.

I would LOVE to see Coil brought back into the spotlight somehow. It was by far the best 8 man in both battles and in story that we have had yet. I may be bias being a legacy player and having it tie so hard into version 1, but man it was fantastic. I always get excited when someone wants me to help take them through it.

And the Bahamut weapons are still imo the best looking weapons in the game.

RIGHT?! It's so much fun and rewards some of the best looking items! To the point that.. it's actually still one of the most glamour farmed raids lol
