Fate "Taken" in Southern Thanalan Broken ?

[mskeebster]

Been here for 7 hours now --- no FATE. >.<

I started camping it for 4 hours last night before I fell asleep, and today I have camped it for 3 hours and nothing.
My playtime is limited cause I'm working a lot so it really sucks having to waste precious playtime to just sit about doing next to nothing.
And no I don't want to do other stuff, this is my last book before Animus and I'm sure no one would rather level another class or something when they're sooo close

Edit: Need to leave for work in 45 minutes, pleaase spawn so I don't feel like I have wasted 8 hours doing nothing (

need to make sure that not too many fates are on at the same time otherwise it will not spawn, took me 3 hours

Well based on rumours that it spawns only @ dawn time ingame and its triggered by Flame Scout from Run Like a Flame.
I waited till like 3am for Flame Scout to repop and started escort, took me like 3min to finish and soon after, like 7min later Taken popped @7am ingame.
Might be part of the trigger mechanics or just coincidence, but that what happend to me.

EDIT:
Flame Scout pops every 20min, so...

This happened for me as well. It's probably coincidence but you have nothing to lose in trying.

This worked for me and a friend also.

This really needs fixing. If I knew I would have to leave my computer on for many hours while I do nothing and staying alert watching and waiting for this one fate to appear, I never would have started all the zodiac quests. I was in a party a couple hours ago waiting for this fate but over time people are losing the will to go on and peeling away. I am still here stubbornly waiting it out, for now.

Consider the 'Spawns only in Morning (game time)' theory debunked. Taken just spawned at 1:30pm game time.

I think this is making sense. I did some other FATES in the surrounding area (Aspid and gentlemen zombies) and upon finishing it, the NPC even for the Taken fate started.

[Rufalus]

Ok done it but I was waiting 4 straight hours. If I didnt have that long to wait it would be impossible. If you absolutely need a certain thing to progress then that thing should at least be available, every hour of the day.

Greetings,

Currently we’ve already implemented a system that will boost the spawn rate of FATEs that have not been occurring, but in patch 2.3 we will be making adjustments to this so the effect is increased even more. We’ll also be making individual adjustments to FATEs, and in particular we will be making adjustments to the spawn location for the FATE “Taken” so that it occurs more frequently.

Additionally as a side note, there have been rumors floating around that failed FATEs have their spawn rate increased, but the system does not work this way.
