Can't see FATE mobs for Crystal Tower

The game has been out for several months yet there is still no workable solution to FATE lag. I have now invested over 3 hours in 1 Crystal Tower FATE while failing to even see the mob in 3 consecutive attempts which resulted in NO CREDIT. I can only attribute this to server issues.

Before pointing to existing 'fixes', I have filtered as much as I possibly can and there are still problems. There is nothing less rewarding in a MMO than unnecessarily wasted time.

Many customers are complaining about this. Please fix it or stop making FATEs a necessary part of the game.

I wholeheartedly agree. I wasted a lot of my time waiting for the FATE to start and when it did the monster was dead within 20 seconds due to the fact that there were so many people there, also the monster never even loaded on my screen. Several people I was in a party with also experienced this issue and just gave up and went on to doing something else as we had waited at this FATE for almost an hour. It was a complete waste of time and Square Enix really should have known this would be an issue because it is nothing new that extremely busy FATES have trouble with loading. Square did not think this patch out and I WILL cancel my subscription to this game unless they do something to fix this issue as I am upset that THEY WASTED MY TIME.

Stick with it. You'll get the 4 fates done. That happened to me twice.

If it makes you feel any better, Crystal Tower is sooo worth it. Great dungeon!

You'll forget all about the stupid fates!

Although the story isn't bad, the execution of the main scenario is horrid. Jumping all over the world just to click 1 npc for silly dialog, going back and forth between npcs for no real reason or anything that contributes and now FATE farming. And to boot they give us FATEs that only spawn every couple hrs it seems so the number of ppl waiting gets so large the lag and lack of loading makes it nearly impossible. These devs are putting way too many eggs in the FATE basket and its seriously putting a damper on the game

So angry last night about waiting forever for FATEs to pop and then get no credit. Please stop putting things behind fates that take 2 hours to spawn.

Fixed that last part for ya!

I have the opposite problem. I can see the mobs fine. But no one's doing the FATEs anymore. Trying to solo these for no credit is getting old fast.
