There were some boss raids like that in previous mmos, notably age of conan and his bat of nergaal, where like let's say, not more than ~100 people were able to kill it. Simply because it was really weird tact wise (ADS and his rot is simply a redo of, but on less people) and totally unforgiving. Fully functionnal, not bugged, not broken but simply not accessible either.

And what to say about Yog Sothoth that maybe like, 3 raids completed, worldwide xD. Never get nerfed either, fully functionnal, but just THAT hard. If the main issue of Twintania is simply a positionning update server side, it does indeed suck big time tho :/

To be fair, the number of people playing AoC at that point was probably less than 100. Not the biggest sample of talented players to choose from.

But I understand where you are coming from. Pretty sure (again, unless there is some hidden obscure mechanic) that it is bugged.

Yo, someone answer this for me. Can I join Turn 2 if I haven't beaten Turn 1 yet?

And if I beat Turn 1, I can't do it again until reset?

You can join a turn 2 group if you haven't done turn 1, however you cannot go back and do turn 1 until reset, just joining the group for turn 2 will lock you out of turn 1 if you go in the instance. Also yes if you beat turn 1 you cannot do it again till the next week, coil resets the same time myth cap does.

1) You can join Turn 2 if your party leader is at least at that point. Once you join a run at Turn 2, you won't be able to backtrack to Turn 1 for the rest of the week.
2) Yes, and reset is every Monday at 8AM PST (JP Tuesday 0:00AM)

So the people jumping into Turn 2 lose out on the Turn 1 loot if they join a T2 party? That sounds like ass.

EDIT: Another questions: if I beat Turn 1 in group A and my friend beats Turn 1 in group B, can me and my friend do Turn 2 together?

Yes on both accounts.

If it was not for the possibility of FCs selling Coil runs I would have wanted for S-E to let us do any turn we want without a reward if we have already completed turn 2 for example. Like today we have to postpone our Coil farm until tomorrow due to one member being stuck at work. It sucks but I guess it is better than watching people run around in Coil drops + AF1.

Edit: Already bad enough that I keep seeing people with Relic and full AF 1 gear + lvl 30 white accessories. Takes the entire meaning of accomplishing anything

Edit2: b4 any smart*** tells me real accomplishment = RL education/work/life, FYI I'm an Electrical Engineer, married and have 2 monkeys (kids)

Wow, that was a random tantrum.

Wow, that was a random tantrum.

haha it was ^^. We were talking about it in TS and everyone were like "if only we could go back to previous turns so we make sure no one misses anything" I was like F No. So came the random rant ^^.

Plus the previous questions before my post ^^.
