No pots for you!

Participating in persistent pot fates that only award 20 pots for how popular the content is, is such a slap in the face to players engaging in your content. Run to the fate, participate, log in and pay for the game... No pot for you... This is the kind of decision making that needs to change. Just award anyone participating a pot... Is it really that detrimental to award all players with playing the game?? What is this obsession with RNG for rewards or fun??

Yeah, everyone that fought that Fate should get a pot.

Yes. I hope they update with a patch.

From what I got from a first part post, it's a technical thing, the map only has so many chest pot, thus only that number of people can get a pot. It has been complained about many times since the release of OC, and since nothing was done in more than a year, I doubt this will be changed.

BTW, it seems the damage done during the fight (or maybe the aggro?) influence the chance of getting a pot. So being there from the start might is important (but yeah, if you have just a couple of phantom jobs up and no OC gear, you're gonna have a bad time.

That's false. The only requirement is that you get a gold medal. It's random within everyone that got gold.

That's why you can be in a party where half the people get pots and half don't. If it was based on agro/damage, everyone in a party would all get or all miss on pots.

That would only make the pot fates die faster, but that wouldn't improve one’s RNG on getting the pot afterwards.

More evidence that OC is bad all around.

Japan loves gamba.

One counterpoint though, if nearly everyone gets to the pot fate and has a pot, then the rest of the instance is kinda dead until people get their chests. I know its frustrating but I feel like capping it to 20 is better than having 40/50/60 people running around trying to find their chests while other fates and CEs are popping

Then picture me very lucky. I nearly always get a pot as long I'm here from the start, and always linked that to the damage bonus you get by mastering new phantom jobs (started North Horn with 15).

It's funny how people still haven't figured out how credit works. Beyond getting gold, it is not random at all. It's based on the order players entered the FATE's threat tables.

I'm convinced credit for pots is damage or some sort of credit. Every time I've gotten a pot, I was either in a party or solo doing DPS the entire time, and there at least most of it. I don't get a pot in new instances or if I'm later to one, unless the fate just started the "big boss" part, in which I sometimes get one.
