What do you guys think?
Are we going to have "weathered" type gear again where we get an initial version then spend time to beef it up to prolong the content cycle?

I hope so--I honestly think the unweathering mechanic was a pretty smart way to handle casual vs raid gear, and let the catch up patch give people that needed it a leg up in coil, without nerfing it as heavily as 2.4 presumably will to let everyone in.

So the hardcore clear final coil in 2.4, mid-tier in 2.5, everyone else can see the end of coil when the expansion hits.

 

[R_thanatos]

Seriously if Qarn HM is not bitterly hard I'm going to be so disappointed. That dungeon has a legacy that must be respected. And I hope they bring back this guy:

Agrees with the bolded i guess i'll dive back in FF14 ASAP

 

[scy]

Hopefully we can be in there week 1.

This is my hope. I want to do Final Coil fresh

Going to need a UAT equivalent per slot and then a token to convert it up.

Might as well do it all.

I'll eat all the crow in the world if any of the new progression involves hunts at all. Maybe it will when 2.5 rolls up but not before then.

 

[studyguy]

By the end of this year mor dhona will be built out of tomes.

 

[Jayhawk]

More people need to make hunt party invite macros once 2.4 hits!

 

[Sorian]

Rowena is the last boss of coil. Her auto attack hits for the exact number of tomes that the entire server has given to her over the course of the last year. RIP

Yes. New tome weapons too.

 

[dark_chris]

Im excited for the final coil of Bahamut.
Also love the looks for the armor too. Wonder what ilvl it will be. Maybe 130 or something.. lol

 

[Teknoman]

If Qarn HM isn't the hardest HM dungeon yet and significantly harder than all other 4 man dungeons in the game, I will be disappointed.

Spoiler

I expect to be disappointed.

Final Stings. Final Stings EVERYWHERE.

Shinobees.

 

[Jayhawk]

If Koenig and Ares armor sets from FFXI are being added, I hope they add Usukane and Dalmatica sets. Usukane set was probably the set I liked the most in FFXI in terms of looks.

sounds like effort

Rowena will be the new evil come the expansion. The tomes will have allowed her to build a High Allagan WMD and she'll be the new superpower vying for control of Eorzea.

or I guess there's that Ishgard stuff too

 

[Jayhawk]

Here, I'll start off the macro for you. Replace # with the linkshell number for the hunt linkshell.

/l# Sending out hunt party invites via macro.
/pcmd add "Natasha Jayhawk"
/pcmd add "Natasha Jayhawk"
/pcmd add "Natasha Jayhawk"
/pcmd add "Natasha Jayhawk"
/pcmd add "Natasha Jayhawk"

Done.

I thought you were retired from hunts

You've been playing too much Destiny. I am still on that S hunt prowl.

 

[Eldren]

I can't wait for YoshiP to finally reveal the Musketeer class on Sunday! (I still haven't learnt to keep my expectations in check)

I like the look of the new gear. I won't be getting any Coil gear any time soon but the new cloth pieces look really nice. Not looking forward to dropping millions of gil on glamour items though...

That temple knight dude in the trailer means they're going to announce Templar as the LNC tank job. Believe!

If both Dragoon and Templar eat cleaves does anything really change???

 

[WolvenOne]

So, does anyone want me to snap pictures of the show floor while I'm here?

Also, at least with Templar, Keen Flurry would actually kinda make sense.

Okay, crappy cell phone pics incoming then, at least after the floor opens and all that.

Yeah, I would like this too. Not sure I'd like pugging it in DF, as I could see it being a nightmare as it was pre-nerfs, but with people who know what they're doing it could be a satisfying romp.

 

[Valor]

I don't really have as much PTSD of Qarn as a lot of you do, I suppose. Bees were annoying, sure, but much less so than they were in original AK. The second boss threw me for the loop when I first played since I was a PLD and didn't know there could be enemies who didn't care about aggro tables. Last boss of Qarn was always the worst for me, and people who don't kill the Facers in the right places. HM looks like it has none of that, but it does have quicksand, so I'm okay with this.

 

[Sorian]

As a ranged DPS, I miss pre nerf Qarn because I could stand on that random pillar and dodge doom during the first boss. It was funny watching the melee scramble and die.

 

[BadRNG]

Have they said how many turns there will be for coil3? It looked like there were three bosses there, which would probably make

Spoiler

Louisoix

confirmed as final if they do only four again.

Most of the new allagan gear just isn't as good as coil2's, the new tome tank gear looks nice though. Wonder what parts of it will be dyable Some of the other gear was ok, not a lot jumped out to me.

 

[Frumix]

That dreadnaught looked like trash pull.

 

[Kagari]

The new coil music is hype. Answers too good.

 

[docbon]

That dreadnaught looked like trash pull.

there will be a dreadnaught boss made up of smaller dreadnaughts. you heard it here first.

The Templar stays upright.

A Voltron-like Dreadnaught?

I hope lightning-sama comes to our rescue against all these god damn XIII mobs we're still facing~
Crystal Tools pls

Lightning shows up to defeat Bahamut 1v1. Oh god, I can't contain my tears

or laughter.

 

[Zareka]

Every time I see people getting hyped about the next content patch for this game I'm repeatedly reminded that I haven't actually hit endgame yet because I spend a silly amount of time on alt jobs.

Almost three 50's, only one of them fully mythology (lol) geared. Although I guess seeing my guild in ruin the last time I logged on didn't really motivate me...

 

[scy]

I read this as doughnuts.

But only the second one.

Blacksmith 50!

Now, which craft gets the dishonor of being the last one I level. Alchemist or Armorer?

Do alchemy next. The lvl 50 coat looks kinda snazzy. =)

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I'd be much happier if we stopped seeing Dreadnaughts. Bring back those crystal shards from FFV.

 

[MechaX]

There has to be other FFXIII monsters Coil can run into the ground besides the dreadnaught.

I thought I saw a spinner rook with the dread.

If they do add it I'd like it to be a magic tank like Rune Fencer. Or better yet just add Rune Fencer :x
