Atma book FATE "Giant Seps" is not part of normal FATE rotation, and will not being

[Silphatos]

I'm currently in Coerthas at a spot where the FATE "Giant Seps" is supposed to take place, and after nearly 2 hours of waiting, and watching numerous other FATE's begin/end, this particular FATE has yet to begin. I'm not sure if there is now an unknown trigger that starts it, but there is now currently over 20 people here waiting, and nothing is happening.

in the same position. no fate spawn. 2 hour wait so far

[Silphatos]

Update: Now over 3 hours with no FATE start.

This has also happened to me, but with Everything's Better Fate on my 3rd book, really frustrating because that is the last thing i need to do to get +2 strength and i have been waiting for 2 hours.

[Silphatos]

Update: 4 hours and counting....

[Silphatos]

It just popped, so it -does- work, however a 4.5 hour wait is simply ridiculous. please fix this :\

It may be tied to some other fate...
I had to wait over two hours too and during that time I watched other fates pop and disappear, but it wasn't until the Svara chain was going on that this one popped...
The Svara chain didn't appear for over two hours either... Since the starter fate for that one only shows if you're close to it, I don't know how many times it was ready, but just not triggered.

Further confirmation may be needed for this scenario...
Suggest monitoring the whole map, and if no Svara for a long time, have a friend gather people that can go for the Svara chain when the trigger fate shows up...

Greetings,

We looked into this because of the reports we were receiving, but we confirmed that there are no special conditions that need to be triggered for this FATE to occur. However, there is a limit to the number of FATEs that can be active at the same time within an area. Therefore, if you are waiting for a specific FATE to occur, please try completing the other FATEs in the area.

If you've ever grinded (ground?) Coerthas fates before this patch, you'll recall that this one was a rare pop in the first place. Not sure how to quantify 'rare', but I do know that Bellyful would always pop 3-4 times minimum before I saw Seps.

I'm glad someone else got to this before I did, did as the rep suggested as well and jumped on my war to go help work out some other fates in the surrounding area hoping that it would help the fates cycle faster. Sadly with the majority of the playerbase out fate grinding in the main 3 regions, Coethras isn't getting the attention it used to. I'm also afraid of going too far from the fate to help them cycle and having it burnt through by the people camping the fate before I can get back to it. :\

It may be a bit more proactive on the XIV team's behalf to look at the Fates tied to the Books and increase their frequency giving the fact that the majority of the players currently in game are engaged in other areas of the world and aren't helping cycle them as normal.
