FATE's giving less exp or not updated completely yet?

[Temjiu]

If that's what they want can we also have as many dungeons between 50 and 52 as we do between 40 and 50?
It's all kinds of stupid the way it is now.

In spite of my dislike for the way that SE meters out exp like it's bread and water...the leveling curve isn't bad outside of the Horrid FATE exp. I can run my daily roulette's (just the low level dungeon, trial, and story instance), and do my daily personal hunts (not the big ones, just the little guys), and walk away with about 800-900k exp for the lot. that's per day. add in an extra dungeon run for on level gear, and the disparity isn't that bad. All we really need IMO is the FATE's simply need boosting.

I got finished with my dailies today on an alt that's 56. trying to get them to 57, and i tried a few FATE's in the Mists. 32k per for about 10m of work. not horrible...but i was solo, there was no one else around...and in NT in the same timeframe i can get 43k up to 80k depending on FATE timing (and whether a boss chain is going or not). That's a HUGE disparity. at minimum, it's about twice as much.

Now, if people were running FATE's in the Mists like they were in NT, my times would go down and it would possibly be worth it at that point. And from what i hear, the hinterlands are even better. but thats locked behind a storyline that I haven't gotten to yet on my main (im actually trying to get my alt past my main, enjoying it more atm). so for me it's grinding in NT at lvl 56. sad. I want to enjoy the FATE's in the new areas, but it's tough when half of them you can't do as your the only one there (the boss FATE's are a pain solo). and NT is so easy....i just follow the crowd and spam AoE's.

My point was really just that if they expect people to take the same amount of time between 50 and 60 as they did between 1 and 50 then there should also be an equal amount of content. I think what's really needed is some options for leveling.

There are leves in Ishgard but there're LOLAWFUL XP. Only leves I did were the crafting ones which aren't too bad. Never touch a Temple Leve.... ever.... Not until they fix them. There is no bonus, no extra reward, they just steal your Leve allowances and barely give out more than 3 allowances worth of XP.

Thats another good point. I was dumfounded when i saw those...they made absolutely no sense. well...I suppose if you only play an hour or two a week...and you wanted to maximize your experience i leaves...and you have leave allowances to burn...

...nevermind. they'r still a horrible option. no clue what they were even thinking when they made those.

I really can't see how an expansion got released without the new fates "up to date". This company knows full well why people do fates and yet completely forgot/who knows to get this right.

When you can level faster in old content, there's a problem that should have been fixed before release. QA dept fail.

My fear is that since they didn't give is a way to really benefit from these fates now, their answer will be to later on down the road give us a reason to have to grind them on our level 60 characters for absolutely no other benefit at all. Just like with the relic upgrade quest in ARR. So instead of being fun leveling content now, they'll simply be something for us to resent/hate later.

The irony is palatable. $40 for a new expansion so we could level up on North.T FATEs.

If anything, I would rather that the new FATEs they created have a larger XP growth than the FATEs in N. Thanalan so that people will go to grinding those areas in their separate levels from 50-60. More dungeons in Heavensward would be great as well, as currently there are not many.

I do agree with the statement said earlier by someone about a real-time adjustment based on the people who participate; however, you also have to take into mind how they actually code the FATE system. It might be a very, very long time before they even fix it since the way they had it before Heavensward was ok to them.

My solution to this problem would be that you get 50% less XP when Sync'd, so that people will actually be bothered to move to other areas and do those FATEs to level their characters instead of grind the usual ARR FATE Content.

Ran FATES in Western Coerth this morning before work to check out the changes. Before the changes, the FATES were rewarding around 14k exp on the level 50-52 fates. This morning I was getting 34-38k exp. They were popping quick and people were actually doing them. I see this area being the new Northern Thana spot. The exp is nice and I hope it stays this way.

Coerthas is good till about 53 then you just camp Swirling Mists afterwards till about 58. Those two large Darkscale Fates alone give almost 200k+ xp together on top of there being no downtime between FATE spawns.
