Daily FATEs...

Have nothing on this idiotic Transparency Dailies... Mist Opportunities is the most unfun I've had in this game since 1.0s launch; narrow pathways with mobs on all sides, enemies facing/clustered on Fragrant Blooms (wouldn't be an issue if waiting was an option), no checkpoints, heck, sound aggro mobs aggro you no matter what now. What happened to walking allowing you to pass? Well, that isn't really an option with the buff wearing out so fast, but whatever.

The quests where you have to carry items are fine, you can take a few hits there. These quests however, you aggro something and it's back to the start. This is senselessly frustrating... I'd much rather be waiting on a FATE right now, instead I feel like punching a badger.

How about, instead of Transparency doing absolutely nothing, it makes it so you cannot be aggroed by regular mobs. Instead, the quest spawns a few special mobs around which you need to sneak past; if you get to close they catch you and kick you out of the zone (putting you back at the Sylph who gives you the buff). The enemies you have to sneak past could give a message along the lines of "X senses something in your direction.", meaning the player will be detected if they don't get out of the way fast, that way just like the carrying dailies it isn't a frustrating 1 hit KO.

Dailies are a horrible idea and direction by SE if you ask me. Pointless, tedious, and boring. Bad attempt at trying to add content in the world. These quests are mind numbing, and using FATES for them again is even worse.

I think they're fine. Like any content, not everything is going to be for everyone. Even if someone that dislikes them, finishes everything about them, it doesn't mean it was intended for this person to do (considering he/she dislikes it). It might just be adding fluff, and not as involved as people might like, but I really don't think people can expect entire raids out of it. It's simple and something for some people to aim to complete. That simple.

Regarding the FATE though, yeah... they definitely need to work on that. I just skip it entirely because of how uncommon it is. I get that it can be abused if it were changed to an on-demand sort of thing, but it really should have just been made into a generic quest instead to be honest.

If you're doing these with an egi out that's probably why you're getting attacked. I think they're bugged from this respect. If I do them with an egi out I get aggro despite the transparency. If I do it with no egi out I don't get aggro.

Try not calling an egi and see if that helps.

I'm not doing it with an egi out. There is one point where you literally have to have someone help you, there is a Milkroot Sapling on one side and a Sylph facing you on the other. Even worse, the actual objective has a Milkroot Cluster sitting right on it. The quest is ridiculously stupid; you either try to sneak past and fail, or you wait there forever for someone else to aggro everything. FATEs are vastly superior to this horseshit.

Edit: Finally got it done. Do I feel good for overcoming this challenge? Not at all, a random Monk happened to run past giving me a window to easy-mode it. [sarcasm] Great quest design SE. [/sarcasm]

There is a very good reason I dont do Slyph dailies at all. This fate crap was all I needed to choose the other beast camp. Not one frustrating daily there, so much nicer. I suggest you switch.

Maybe there is more than one daily in which you have to use the transparency, but the one I did was super easy, and I didn't aggro anything. I ran past everything, and right up to the objective.

then you will be sadly disappointed once you reach Amalj'aa rank 3 friendly and get the 10 rep quests. There is a rep quest that will require a FATE to obtain a item.

Seems each Beast Tribe will have FATE required Quests at certain rep quest dailies range.

The Sylph dailies just annoy me. I've stopped increasing my reputation and now do it once every few days. Its almost impossible to get anything done in the Sylphlands without everything aggroing every 5 seconds because the area feels so claustrophobic.

Luckily the Amal'jaa are much better, even if they do get more repetitive. (Get the same quests every so often, but I'm nearing Rank 2 with them so hopefully that will alleviate the repetitiveness of the quests)

Transparency makes me immune to mob aggro. That's the point. Carrying missions are much harder.
