It looks like this event is bugged for some people. Its not awarding the certificates for completing the fate.
I talked to the lady to get the emote/clothing, spammed the action on the chosen songstress, got gold for the fate itself, but no certificate reward. Tried both doing multiple songstresses with their respective colors and sticking to just one, no luck.

You have to cheer them with the right emote, 3 emotes and each one has its own color. I think that’s it.good luck

Me and my partner are having the same problem. We've tried a few different things and none seem to be working. The last time I tried, however, said that again I hadn't earned any, yet it said in the chat window that I received one. I have no idea if it's something I'm doing wrong.

I'm aware, I was using the color specific emotes for each girl. I'd pick blue, then use the blue action on masha but I also tried using the others on theirs, no certs either way.

If you are truly receiving a gold rating and not getting 2 certificates, maybe it is bugged. First I'm hearing of it though.
I wasn't quite sure how to achieve gold in this FATE for a while, and got a lot of silvers (1 certificate) due to experimenting trying to cheer for the songstress that specifically asked for her color at the start of the FATE to mostly ignoring the others who weren't my chosen color.
Found out you need to cheer for at least one (appropriate color) at just about every given chance but always cheer for yours if she is targetable for that Gold rating. -

I cheered for the one that asked for it and my color and got 2x every time.

Not sure IF I got any certs or not don't really care, because what is being offered I do NOT WANT! I wanted to be able to get the clothes from past LLD events, but it seems that's not going to be the case. This event SUCKS ! I'm not doing it on my other chars on other servers, and thinking very seriously about NOT renewing my sub ! I'm REALLY PISSED ! I couldn't even find the clothes on the mog station!

03-02-2018, 02:51 AMAvatreI have never seen them add the gears/housing items from previous events to a current event. The only thing they ever re-add is the Magiked Prisms. That is all I have EVER seen them add back to an event.Quote:

Gonna just add to this that after trying every variation of suggestions, the FATE is still giving at worst non-participation or at best a Bronze rating with no reward. Also on an alt I used the books to obtain the non-FATE versions of the emotes and they weren't added but the books were still used.

Ok, so when you boil this event down, you're going to a concert and waving glowsticks at a preteen pop idol group, and in return you get vouchers that you can trade in for a Tetris shelf and a CD single. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, it's actually a fun diversion from all the end-of-the-world stuff we usually deal with. The problem is the mechanics of the FATE, which seem intuitive on the surface but apparently have tons of less obvious underlying variables that make things wonky beyond reason given how unimportant this piece of content is (I've seen raid mechanics less finicky than this).
"Pick your favorite and wave the right color emote at her exclusively." "Emote at the girl that starts the FATE and the one that matches your shirt." "Emote at everyone that pops up but prioritize the one that matches your shirt." "It's a FATE, so maybe partying up will help." Everyone's got their own idea of how this FATE works, and it always seems to work consistently for THEM, but their strat falls apart the instant someone else tries it. I tried any number of different tactics last night (some of which were suggested here), got silver once and bronze every round after, even if I repeated the strat that got me silver; my wife went in this morning and got gold on everything she tried, most of which were the same things I was doing last night (only exception was a round she joined late, which got her bronze instead). The only thing we figured out from our combined runs is that partying up actually seems to HARM your score rather than help it, which feels counter-intuitive for an MMO. Everything else was inconsistent at best--my wife actually tried a run where she all but IGNORED the girl who matched her shirt, emoting exclusively at the other two unless her "chosen" singer was the only one available, and she STILL got gold despite actively trying to sabotage her score for science. Until someone can empirically test every variable and/or post a strat that works universally, I'm gonna go ahead and call this event bad. -

can't get any vouchers either, have done the fate 5-6 times, either bronze or nothing. But to be frank, that is typical for an event fate. It has skills with long timers, and if you happen to have some latency someone else is always going to get the "hit" in first. (being in AU, there's a mile of difference between what I can do and someone with 15ms pings in JP). Then to the watercolour thing... every single time I have gone out to look... duststorm. sheesh.

I'm pretty certain a crucial aspect of this FATE is unlike regular FATEs where you can get Gold reward for showing up only at the end or leaving halfway through as long as you do enough damage or satisfy the requirements, this FATEs specifically has no window for error or idleness, you basically have to do it immediately, stay right there to the end and click on one of the singers and do the required emote every single time. Although I only concentrated on the one singer whose outfit matched the colour of my costume (I chose Mashu for consistency's sake) and didn't try doing the others, and I got gold every time.
The reason I believe the crucial requirement for getting gold is to be there for the entirety of the FATE and to click on a singer every time the emote is needed is because I only got silver for one particular FATE where I missed one window for the emote (due to a trolling player on Balmung leaving his Carbuncle on the stage that was interfering with tab targeting - I wasn't the only one annoyed by that given the constant shouts by irate players to "GET THAT DAMN CARBY OFF THE STAGE!!"), and ended up with silver. But every other one I did where I used the emote every time for Mashu I got gold.
So, from that it's clear you don't need to do the emote on all of the singers, just one (the one that matches your costume), but you need to do it every time it becomes available (you can tell when it is because they do the 'songbird' emote with the music effect around them), as well as be there from the moment it starts to the moment it ends (hence it helps not to deactivate the costume even after the FATE ends, it saves you having to run back to the Royal Handmaiden to get the costume buff again). -

Yeah, just found them. Of course the other day when I looked the clothes / items where NOT there, but then " THEY " gotta get that money................. Anyway figured out what I was doing wrong when I was NOT getting the certs so it's all good for now !

Our server had the idiots jumping at the front of the stage trying to stop the targeting. GMs should forcibly remove griefers for a certain duration. That will stop that crap. WoW gms used to do that when people stood on NPCs with huge mounts.

For PC players if you just hold X it'll prevent you from targetting players. Should help ya.

I appreciate what they tried to do. Since a few events, I have the feeling they try something new. I mean, a FATE in a City-State ! WTF !
But well, except that, the rewards are ridiculous and you spend 20 minutes on the even and then you carry on... Too bad. -

We had a FATE in Ul'dah for Halloween a few years ago. I remember since it was a nightmare on PS3 with the targets not loading quickly so it was hard to get credit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the credit issues on this FATE were due to congestion and it gets easier when fewer people are doing the FATE. -

Thank you, I was a bit stumped on this. But now that I think about it, that's really the logical course of action lol.

another poorly designed event with shit rewards
-
03-03-2018, 11:08 PMHasrat
Had zero problems with this myself. Just hitting the skill for whoever's active. Hell, I question whether it matters at all if you focus your "preferred" color when 2 or 3 are up.
But I also did it a couple days after release, during dead hours. Could be entirely possible this suffers from the same FATE limitation of old, having a hard limit on the number of rewards it can give?
With any luck, Narumi's comments may be hinting at something besides Songbirds next year. Would think there's only so much devs could do with the pop idol theme. -
03-04-2018, 01:43 AMMoomba33
I did it today on my main and some alts. On one attempt I joined when the Fate was already 1/3 done and still got Gold. On another attempt I was there from the beginning but pressed the wrong cheer a couple of times and still got full credit.
So I'm going to go with the issues being due to congestion making it hard for every participant to get full rewards. -
03-05-2018, 04:37 PMNephthysVasudan
To add my 2 cents.
1: The fate isn't as what it seems at first and at best they should have written it better - when you pick your color - your just really picking your favorite singer...there's no real impact honestly.
2: The fate is very straight forward - just watch the NPC's - you don't need to stick to one singer - you simply pick a random singer that's target-able - and match the color - so if the blue one sings - you use the blue sticks - red ...red....and so forth. You can rotate through each singer - provided you MATCH the color - you will always get 2 certs. I did this after my first two "learning" attempts for an hour straight and managed to get the same reward every time. There doesn't appear to be a "2x" bonus either - As the max reward is 2 cert's from what I observed. Sticking to one singer color only is actually worse - did that first time and only got 1 cert.
3: The website is misleading - I've already filed a complaint - it infers you get the clothes as a reward and other things - when in fact this is not the case - its like they got lazy and used last years graphics and didn't bother giving a damn about being accurate. It would be different if they showed you getting emotes and the furniture set piece...but it didn't at the time I looked - nor have I got a reply. Expectations? Acknowledgement they messed up - beyond that i don't care too much - yes its on mogstation - but still they should be more accurate in the description.
Have to admit...aside from my complaint - best event yet so far. -

"Certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be obtained via the Seasonal Shop." is refering, as always, to the fireworks.
The only point that might seem irritating is that the quest itself mentions that you need to go and collect an outfit from the weavers guild. But I dont see any problem with the website? -

I've not had issue getting the tickets, but when I finish the FATE I notice the display is glitched. It will say "you got 0" but they pop up anyway in my inventory.
-
03-08-2018, 06:25 AMJojoyaI think this is what had people confused about the commendations. The reward display says zero but they were still being added to inventory. I was confused as well until I saw the loot message in my chat window.Quote:

The zeroes are for exp reward and seal reward. If you look all the way to the right, you'll see the number of certificates you earned.
