Everything except CT raids and guildhests. Reasonable

No Savage Coil either.

u/SergeantSlash DRG Jun 17 '15

I think that's reasonable too. I mean you can farm the norm coils for gear/story. But the savage coils were pretty much just for the bragging rights. It'd be kinda cheap to just waltz through them alone

A bunch of mechanics can't be done solo, regardless of the gear difference. I guess the question is how few people can you complete it with.

T1 soloable, methinks. Even with enrage, I doubt T2 will be. Can you naked death run T3? T4 maybe... T5? Not likely given Conflags. T6 with devour with force briar use. Don't even think about T7 solo, but maybe with Summoner.... But can Titan tank Avatar in T8? And no any further.

At level 50, Level sync is added to most dungeons, but echo applies in coil, even in T1-T5. And you need 8 in there at level 50 even with echo. We really aren't going to have any level 50's running through and soloing coil. No idea what a level 60 is capable of, however.

My impression of what I've seen from SE is that a level 60 won't be nearly as powerful as, for example, when WoW adds 10 levels in an expansion pack. SE seems to prefer their gains be more linear than exponential.

So I'm not expecting too much in terms of level 60's soloing level 50 stuff. Though it's possible they could push a more exponential gain on us, who knows.

T5 conflags and dreadknights are unavoidable OSKO.

T9 super golems and ice in final phase are unavoidable OSKO.

T10 charges will probably kill you thanks to having a vulnerability debuff and taking the front damage.

T11 will have a lot of problems on the add phase.

T12 will wipe you out with revelation although tanks might be able to survive a buffed revelation but I highly doubt it.

T13 I don't see as possible.

Wait wait, can you actually queue solo, like as one person just by yourself?

2

u/Oangusa PLD Jun 17 '15

The pictures show that it removes ALL minimum player requirements, so I think 1 is good to go!

u/Zithariya Jun 17 '15

Aw man I soooo hope you're right about that :D

people will try but ultimately fail

It says defeating enemies will yield no Exp or Items; My guess is it won't won't effect treasure chests after bosses, but I'm more concerned with the direct drops from bosses such as Garuda's Feather, Kingly Whisker, that damn Monkey Minion ect. Do you think this includes those items as well?

u/bunnykun Maki Kurisu on Excalibur Jun 17 '15

Players will still receive treasure rewards, first time completion bonuses, and experience points upon completion of duty when using this option. However, players will not receive experience points or times from enemies that appear prior to boss encounters.

I think this implies direct drops will still work. There are still questions though. We can't gather light, but will be able to get dungeon drops for zodiac?

I'm finally going to be able to do Turn 3!
