YP-Less than 100 people will clear Bahamut's Coil before 2.1Follow

Hazy since it's been a while, but I think the following was ultimately discovered or simply disclosed to us:
- Negate JoL's regen prior to the AV pop.
- Nuke AV with elements current to the day to further reduce his regen.
- When it uses a 2 hour, someone must use that same 2 hour within 3 seconds to negate further use of it.

Even with this known under the 75 cap, he was still a ***** when he switched modes and started getting meteor happy. At which point, the combined 2 hour timer between him and JoL made drawn out fights an enemy. As such, zergs simply shifted from KC DRKs to whatever strong DDs could fit in the BRD rotation while support did their thing out of party.

Honestly, party swapping/BRD rotations were one of the worst things to come of XI's combat system and I hope such isn't encouraged here by simply making those desired buffs alliance-wide if they're that crucial.





As for the main topic, unless it is AV dumb, Yoshi's basically underestimating the no-lifers. As well, you can guarantee there will be ******** about how easy things are should that 100 number be exceeded, and exponentially more so the more zeroes you add to the tally. Personally, I'm not a fan of what amounts to boasting over exclusionary content and those who believe it'll foster aspirations from lesser players are being dreadfully optimistic without requirements being known. Should the endgame be an environment where only sub-10% of the population thrives, the game will be in trouble.

i think you're being a bit premature in your FFXI comparison. If its literally impossible to clear the Coil without gear from the Tower, then there shouldnt be a problem.

we're just going to have to wait and see. If yoshi's intent was to get people like me EVEN MORE HYPED UP THEN I ALREADY AM, well he certainly succeeded.

I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself. I like that guy and it would be a shame for people to breeze through it like /yawn and tell him they're afk til 2.1

Bahamut wakes up from his nap pops Mega Flare then goes back to sleep.

Yep! He just called out all the hard-core players and they are going take the challenge to heart. Hell, even I want to finish that content now.

So far every time they've issued something like this it's blown up in their faces.

Every primal they put out they tried estimating the time it would take for anybody to beat it in weeks, and it went from days to hours as the primals were released.

I have a feeling it won't be hours, but it'll be plenty of people and quick enough.

Do it with gear from over a tier behind, that'll be pretty challenging

After watching naked Ifrit fights, I kinda laugh that he thinks people will play by the rules.

Bahamut will be conquered. Not by skill (per-say), not by dedication (the way that he is thinking), but by a stupid glitch. People will beat on it up until they find a gap, a hole in the logic. They will then attempt to rip that whole thing open until they leave bahamut crying on the ground begging "Please, just finish me...". It will be a slaughter in a way that Yoshi could not even predict.

So is the way of MMOs. No planner can cover all possible exploits, and lets face it. The Final Fantasy community has proven (and MMO, and Gaming for that matter) that if an exploit exists, it will always be used to the greatest advantage as fast as it can.
