DD Nerfed

[Gwendolen]

It's a hotfix within a hotfix....that's fixception!

that would be possible...

if there already hadnt been several CM posts prior to the hotfix patch saying it was working as intended and wouldnt be changed.

AND

if there hadnt been a post by the same CM in this very thread stating that it is now broken and was supposed to continue working as it did before. :P

nice try, though!

satire my good sir, satire

They just need to put it back to bugged, it was so grueling leveling another toon, hoping to do DD when it came time to and bam disappointment...it was nice to have at least one thing to help level a little faster.

You know there are other (and better) ways to make the leveling experience more fluid than making 1 fate in the mid 40 level range kindof broken right? I'd rather they do that than bother with this.

That DD Fate really assisted me from 45-50 with my PLD. Not sure when I'll work on my next DoW class even though I have all of them unlocked.

I think there's a common misconception about leveling and how long it takes.

Very long periods of leveling does not make a player better in the most efficient way possible. I can repeatedly speedrun the first stage of any beat-em up in existence, it probably won't help me much against the final boss.
Bad players that would benefit from a shorter leveling time will be bad regardless of how long their leveling experience takes. The only way you can convince bad players to get better, is by offering them rewards that they really want, or giving them new challenges to adapt to. As it is, you get a new dungeon mechanic, what, every 5-8 levels? In between that it's hours of questing/fates/the same dungeon.

Leveling is not currently streamlined for the optimal benefit of time/player benefit. MMOs have the habit of skewing that scale way to far on the time scale.

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.

Bug reported.

Keep it as is so we don't see all the drama from people completing a fate vs people farming mobs in a fate.

I just love the hypocrisy of this fight.

A DoW gets 120k for 15minutes of work and everyone cries "OP OP!".

A DoH gets 120K x3 for 1 triple turn in leve and no one says a word..


Bads will be bads no matter how long it takes to get to endgame. Look at any endgame raiding for any of the current MMOs. You will always find bads.

Though I am glad to see this is a bug and not a change, was going to say "so much for "working as intended"".
