DD Nerfed

[KittyPr]

I'm glad to get slower EXP and a longer grind to 50. Yay! Thanks, devs!

it isnt slow enough , i started 2 weeks ago , i dont grind fates and almost at lvl 50 ...
probably the fastest MMO to reach max lvl , which means tons of people unable to play their class ....

fates should be something you unlock when you reach 50 with your first character , not something noobs could join

Thats a player issue not a fate issue, if the player is bad they will remain that way forever. If they dont want to invest in gear or craft it thats the players issue, not the method of leveling.

Imagine you're new to MMOs and not as well versed in this game. If you don't think tons of people aren't dropping in the deep end without first learning how to swim, you haven't been paying attention.

it's pretty funny when people blame DD for fast lvling and white geared noobs, only DD was nerfed and heck it only made the end (which was already easy to go through) slower it still takes less then 3 days (and that's still pretty slow) to get 50 with an alt character. fates are still a very easy and fast way to lvl.

it didn't slow it down either because most people didn't even get the chain exp others got while it happened (if you could) the lambs were killed within a minute 90% of the time with someone yelling something to provoke everyone.

Greetings,

Since the hot fix that was applied in mid-October, we've been seeing reports that the Dark Devices FATE was adjusted/changed. However, we have confirmed with the Battle team that there have been no adjustments made to this specific FATE during the hotfix or subsequent updates.

As we've read a few reports from users about what was/wasn't changed, we'd like to get more information to pass along to the dev. team. The best way to do that would be to submit a bug report with as much detail as possible so we can closely examine any issues that may have arisen.

Wait till you try to level a second job to 50.

Wait, so the FATE is bugged and it wasn't meant to be nerfed?

Oh this is gonna be good /popcorn

What exactly is DD?

What exactly is DD?

Dark Devices, a FATE in somehwere I forgot cause i Haven't played in weeks, where enemies respawn infinitely so the goal for fast exp is to just slaughter the adds until the last ~1-2 Minutes of the fight then kill the Trigger Mobs in the back to move on to the next.

Hmm. Seems familiar, I haven't been into FATEs ever since my first Lv 50 DoW class, but IIRC it's in Northern Thanalan.
