The FATEs to unlock CT are broken.

[DarkB]

and here is the response:

"FFXIV: ARR Producer/Director Yoshida here.

The FATEs that were added in patch 2.1 have been affected by other FATEs within the same zone, and the situation is such that the frequency they start cannot keep up with the number of players participating.

As we've already finalized a countermeasure to increase the frequency, we are currently making preparations for the adjustment. We'll be confirming the fix tomorrow, and on Thursday, December 19 we will be having a short maintenance to increase the frequency of these FATEs.

While we would like to implement the fix on the 18th, the time in which we would complete the fix confirmation overlaps with JP peak time, and as we would like to prioritize everyone's play time we've decided to implement the fix on the 19th.

There is a possibility that the frequency of these FATEs increase by clearing the other FATEs in the area, but there is also the possibility that it will not fulfill the needs of the number of people who wish to participate. We will also be adjusting the amount of contribution needed for receiving rewards from these FATEs.

I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."

I love how they won't do a maitenance during JP peak time, yet they have done maitenances during NA peak time...

I guess since it's supposedly just an optional dungeon for those who need the extra boost to work towards Coil, I can kinda understand this...

Definitely not a smooth start to say the least, though I wasn't expecting one.

Riveting gameplay, Square Enix.

There's a guy saying he needs to pee but can't leave his computer because he has to stand around in case this stupid fate pops.

Bravo, you've really outdone yourselves this time.

Inb4 "Filthy casuals! Learn to poopsock!"

Also inb4 "Try zooming your camera out!" and "Please look forward to it!" cuz those jokes apparently never get old.

yeah..... how about when the 1st fate in the mine popped the nm and it was down in 10 seconds and we had to wait another 120mins to try again ><

Brought to you by the fine folks who created Pandemonium Warden.

Probably to stop you from blazing through the quest to CT.
That said, someone on my server said they've been waiting at the U'Ghamaro FATE for nearly an hour too, which is ridiculous.

You know what would have been better? Simply making the quest longer, and more involved. But I really doubt this is the reason.

It's been like that since FFXI. They have always treated their non-JP player base like second class citizens.

[Black_Wing]

Oh noes, i have to wait for something to pop to continue a quest? >.< I'm guessing many of you didn't play FFXI? >.>
