13th Weapon Mount (Spoiler)

[ServerCollaps]

why are people complaining about "big bad rng", the droprate is something between 30-40%, it isnt even bad, its actually very high

sometimes you may only got 1 medal out of 10 fates, sometimes you'll get 4 in a row, in the end you'll end up with about 600-700 fates done

Because its still luck. Even if its 50% it would still mean that some people might be so unlucky that they barely get anything while others gets 6 in a row. RNG has no memory so it will always be 30% each time which means a chance of 70% to get nothing. I have 8 weapons right now with 442 fates done which seems to be kinda lucky? Yet one of the first that got the second mount needed around 566 fates which is not that far away to what I have and I have still 5 weapons left to do. A friend of mine started his farming way before me and yet I have more weapons than him already, he is really unlucky. So for me its just seems unfair, some will finish this in way less fates than others even though all do the same. Thats not fun for me.

If we could at least exchange the common medals with some legendary ones..this would balance out really bad luck.

And even over the span of two months, doing 600 fates does not sound like fun. X_X

It's the same song and dance with the Atma and we been through this before; we have the "oh it's not that bad stop whining" side and the "too much luck and you just got lucky while the rest of us were not" side. Just search for those threads and we pretty much can just apply that here.

And yet you still see people farming in the most inefficient way, then complaining about how it takes so long. You only need a silver in any fate, which is literally just a few hits. Can easily get in a few hits on a fate, or kill a few mobs, then move to the next, with the amount of people farming, the fate is still quickly completed. You still get people sitting, hammering one fate until its finished, and missing all the other fates going on at the same time, then wondering why they're not progressing very quickly

-1 : it's not respectful to the people who can't leave because there's not enough people to finish the fate. It happened to me, we were on a boss fate, at 90% most of the team left, and it took us the same time to do 0=>90% as 90=>100% because of that...
If everyone were "efficient" as you say (I'll call it selfish) then no fate would finish, and you're "efficient" way would be "ineffecient" too.

The amount of times a FATE would reset because everyone buggered off and the stragglers were, rightfully, like "well bugger this."
It also got on my nerves when people would go to another FATE and start doing it away from the group, isn't that just counterintuitive? Rather than get 2 FATES and 2 chances at LMs you only get once chance...

To each their own. imo it's selfish to get more credit in a fate than you need, I get as much as I need then move on, so more people get a chance to participate in that fate.

You call my method inefficient, the fact I finished the yokai event within two days suggests otherwise.

I think they meant if the entire fate pack ran off when the fate was incomplete and there was no one left to finish it, then the leaving early method would become inefficient.

But how do you know that there are more people coming to do that fate after you left? And what if everyone would do your "efficient" way and leave the fate as soon as they got silver? Nobody would finish it and you would loose all the time you put into it. It will only go right if there are enough people left that will stick with it to the bitter end while you get to another fate..And since some of those fate will have quite the big HP it might not even be enough to finish it in time with barely any people there.

And you also finished it that fast because you must have a lot of luck on your side too. I did all three 30er in outer la noscea with the two fates and yet it took me a whole day to finish those three sets. So even if you are trying to do it the most efficient way RNG can still kick you in the behind.

This only works if only a few people do it. If everyone started doing this no FATE would be completed and the overall spawn cycle of the FATEs would be greatly slowed down. The result is that a couple of players get massively accelerated FATE clears whilst everyone else ends up missing half the FATEs because those selfish few keep clearing them before everyone else can get there.

I've had times where I get left alone on a boss FATE to solo it because everyone else got their hits in and left. In those cases I just leave the FATE (I am not going to solo it for those other players) and it ends up failing. How is that at all efficient farming?
