I came up with this idea after noticing that veteran players hardly seem to care for world bosses anymore after they've received the rewards. Wich makes sense since there is no other reward than that. I miss the excitement of one appearing and people going out in search for it like its an S rank.
My suggestion would be to add rewards in future patches to keep people interested in pursuing them. Like for example:
- A DRK (and SAM?) version of Odin's sword.
- Additional behemoth themed items.
- Proto Ultima hands, legs and feet to compliment the Proto Ultima Mesh chest piece.
- Additional tacky clothes from Coeurlregina.
- Crafting recipes using world boss drops to make housing items similair to Odin and behemoth. Such as Coeurlregina's head as a trophy.
It could be taken a step further as well by perhaps adding extra valuable rewards in exchange for a high amount of tokens. Like a Torama mount from coeurlregina horns.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I like this idea. Anything to get more people to do these super-fates. They look like a lot of fun but its hard to find enough people willing to do it. And then there are players who never had the chance to do it, like myself. I like the idea of making the boss fight more appealing with more rewards.

Just reward super high tomestone rewards for a gold rank.
Job done.
People will likely do them if they rewarded something that can be used on-going.
Just adding more weapons or armor rewards or whatever will die quick, as people will stop bothering to do them once they have received their items. The most long-term adjustment to super-fates would be to reward something that can be used at any level cap, and something that isn't a one-time reward such as a glamour weapon. -
06-13-2017, 05:40 AMTristanBlaneI think this is also a great idea! It will keep people coming back if the tomestones continue to be the current higher ranking ones. I think this is a great incentive to get more people involved. Other rewards would also make it funner and fresher I think.Quote:

Yes please. I would like a Couerlregina skin rug and maybe Odin's sword mounted on my wall. I hear rumors that the new one from SB will drop a mount so the older ones definitely need a way to compete.

I feel S rank hunts could stand be more rewarding, too.
Slightly more then double the reward of an A rank is a little silly when considering how much effort it takes to spawn some of them, as well as how long it takes them to respawn.
Would also be nice if they didn't get melted so quickly, because Odin and Coeurlregina still take a long while to kill even with how readily available good gear is now. -
06-13-2017, 01:59 PMCore1019Iirc both the fates and a/s ranks have hp based on how many people last killed them.Quote:

As long as there's a way to buy with (a stupidly large number of) tokens, I'm 100% behind big FATEs dropping mounts and minions. Say there's a 1% chance each (gold) clear to get a minion, and you get one horn or whatever per clear, and it costs 99 to buy it, or something, I dunno exactly. I just know that I'm not grinding something RNG dependent like an Ex primal, please god no.
More furniture! Now that everyone has access to some form of housing, how could anyone be against more furniture? I have a collection of miniature figures and I'd love to add coerlregina and proto ultima to that, that would be amazing! -
06-13-2017, 02:09 PMCore1019Just to check, you are aware that HW ex primals drop tokens which can be used to buy birds now, right?Quote:

I can't count how many times I've ground out FATE 1 and 2 with desperate calls for help, only for fate 3 to spawn while I was in bed no matter how hard I tried to stay up. Or the number of times /shout, screeching in linkshells and asking friends hasn't been enough to succeed at #2. (I would have succeeded at the 3-man attempt except you don't have anywhere near enough time, alas).
EDIT - this also assumes that you're in the area when they spawn and can get there on time with enough people, a problem more common to proto ultima than coerlregina, but still present in any sub-max area after like 1month of launch.
With Ex primals, the only thing stopping you finishing is other people being bad, which with raid finder is less common than it used to be, and is ALSO a problem with fates - some poor lv54 mnk with their chocobo still in lv50 gear isn't gonna do jack shit against coerlregina, but they'll up the fate difficulty for sure. -
