How long does fatigue last?

I have fatigue on CON and THM and it's been like it for days. It's very annoying. When is it likely to go away? I was actually starting to enjoy the game and then i get hit with this. Thanks Square.

I've just been playing WoW waiting for it to go away. Is that really what Square want? They should be doing everything they can to keep us playing and staying on the game.

7 days from the moment you first gained sp on the class it resets.
It goes away temporarily if you level another class.


Though to be honest WoW has the same system theirs is just not as extreme it does the same thing. People tend not to grind when their rested xp is wore off.

OMG that is ridiculous. I would love to kill whover thought this crap was a good idea. Wouldn't be so bad if i could easily refund all my stat points so i could change to a melee class without having rubbish stats.

Thanks for the answer.

Stats do not work right now.

The only stats worth putting points into are vit and mnd.

not really, but you can do this if you only want hp and mp. better to say people prefer their direct hp increase mp increase aspects

There is a level when you hit Fatigue..

is like the first you hit Fatigue; that is 10% and gradually increase until you will not gain any SP/EXP anymore, which interms telling you to take a rest -or- play other classes.

While playing other classes that is not fatigue, the fatigue classes will gradually diminish depending on how far you've grind on the fatigue class. but heck, it'll reset by the end of the 7 day cycle. No biggie.

Also it's not such a large penalty that you can't just push through it easily enough. When I was leveling my Pug to 50 I didn't pay fatigue any mind, just kept playing.

Also they're considering removing it so it will be one less thing for people to whine about finally.

They not considering: they ARE removing. along with dungeons and companies in 1.18.alas, in june

Hello everyone! This is Producer/Director Yoshida!
Thanks so much for the discussions on surplus points. There have been a lot of threads in other regions on the same topic and many of the comments have been the same. Along with the implementation of new dungeon and raid environments, we’re looking towards the direction of basically eliminating this system.

I feel that it’s ideal that players decide on the play style.

Hmmm, maybe they can add bonus SP that starts to go away after 60k sp is gained in an 8 hr period. Oh wait, that would be the same thing...

according to tanaka the original fatigue system was only a temporary system to be in place until the ps3 came out since the pc version came out way before it. it was only meant as a way to keep pc players from getting too far ahead of the ps3 players before they could begin playing. they didn't intend for it to be in game so far already, but they already had in mind for the ps3 version to be out.

It also didn't really work at all as some people have 50's fairly quickly in comparison to others. People with more time and who want to hit the cap fast will, there's no stopping it. It was originally intended to slow people down so Tanaka could stall for time to put endgame in.

Meh, now i have fatigue on my physical level. Nice job sucking all the fun out of the game Square and there wasn't much fun there in the first place lol.

People still stop playing when they hit surplus? What the hell...

exactly

the ONLY time it makes sense to stop is for crafting when the materials are expensive, and that isnt even often

Pretty much what I think whenever I hear someone complain about hitting surplus. It's seriously not a big deal, don't pay it any mind and you'll hardly even notice it's there. I went from 48-50 in fatigue and it didn't take that long.

Another thing. You'll get out of fatigue after getting some SP lol so if you stopped playing those classes for days and are still in fatigue, try killing a monster and see if it's still there.

I'm just gonna play through it then. It does put a downer on things though.

What? No one does this. Seriously, what world are you living in? People enjoy having rested exp, but no one stops playing when it goes away. It's a bonus, this games fatigue is the complete opposite.

Just ignore fatigue on battle classes... Only crafting classes if the Synth is expensive should you worry about fatigue...

At max it takes 30-40% away you gain, but if you are having fun.. then who really cares... just play and ranks come :)

Yeah this is what I do. I live in fatigue as a battle class.

the way i look at fatigue now is if i am still getting more sp than i was pre-sp boost than i keep going lol. i mean even on fatigue we get almost twice the sp we did when the game first came out.

In additon to having a hard reset, fatigue slowly weakens the longer you don't play a class that is fatigued (e.g. say you log off after hitting level 4 fatigue... the next morning you log in with level 1 fatigue).

Fatigue exist in all game... most games you lose 25%-50% in about 30mins of game time when the "Rested Bonus" wears off. In FFXIV the rested bonus wears off slowly over about 50hrs (about how long it takes to get to 50% sp gain).

So in WoW 30mins to hit 50% sp loss or in ffxiv 50hrs until 50% sp loss. so there for the SP system in ffxiv is 150 times more rewarding then WoW's and most mmos rested bonus... and in FFXIV it even recharges when you are not playing that class.

Fatigue is negative in theory only, honestly fatigue is 100% negligible until you hit stage 5-6 surplus (~50% sp loss) which is longer then almost everyone play this game in 1 week. Stoping because of surplus means you have about 5hrs of playtime per class at the most a week.

This is all a Reward vs Punishment thing... they are exactly the same but one says you are being rewarded 200% sp the it drops to 100% and one says you are losing SP and started at 100%, but in the end they are both 50% sp loss.
