F.A.T.E. and the future of Notorious Monsters

[Enma]

I do, however, think that all NM's should drop Rare/EX items, as to not make them targets for gil farming. Also, any NM with a pop timer of over 4 hours should be a 100% drop rate. They're still going to be camped like crazy, so how about make it less of a mind numbing chore and take out the whole 0% drop rate thing for the longer timers.

There are many ways to keep NM Camping under control, one of them is to share drops between Notorious Monsters (One rare drops obtainable from X monsters, with same strength and % rate). But I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion about "how Notorious Monsters should work in A Realm Reborn". I would prefer keep it on almost sure information by Dev. Team or directly from Yoshida Naoki.

Keep dreaming, the-one-who-tank-with-the-ass (he know why :P). Expect infine "they should do nm like ffxi", "they should do only fate and trigger"

I assume NM's will stay the same.... the fate system reminds me of the timed events in GW2 where every so often a world event happens and everyone in the area can attend and help.

I thought F.A.T.E was going to be Mass scale contents.

something like a kind of besieged / campaign style redisign of hamlet defence.

The golden bazaar is under attack turn up and defend it in a mass besieged style event.

[Altena]

Using logic, I daresay we will see both.

It was hinted by a community rep post somewhere/sometime that "there are some interesting pop conditions going around the office for notorious monsters", in which I presume are not entirely based on the FATE system.

[Technyze]

I really don't want all notorious monsters to be FATE only.

That would be sooooo lame.

U guys do know that Behemoth is a F.A.T.E. NM right? Fern confirmed it

[Nightdreamer]

I need to keep up with all the updates. Noob question, what is the F.A.T.E. system?

Hello all!
I am curious about how roaming Notorious Monsters will be handled in A Realm Reborn:

1. Will they be totally absorbed by F.A.T.E system?
   [**]Will a complex Notorious Monsters System be implemented*?

***Hundreds of Notorious Monsters with several different spawn conditions (Hour, weather, placeholders, key items, normal items,...), different Tiers etc.

I'm hoping the NMs that roam freely have a in-game to no more than two days to re-pop.

*I'm not too clear of the F.A.T.E. system so no comment.
**I'm guessing the "FATE system" must be as complex to the NMs that R'complex, so probably "no".
***Why would Notorious Monsters with several different spawn conditions (Hour, weather, placeholders, key items,etc.), different tiers etc. be managed by the"?FATE system" if they're managed by a whole different program? I will have to guess 'no' on that too.

I need more insight and opinions about the FATE system. I've only heard about it along time ago but I'm not clear about how it'll make the experience of hunting in-game batter.

I like that system but some NMs are part of content that has to be part of quest or mission or registered hunts. I wouldn't mind open assist from other players, it's good to reward others for help w/o restrictions! ^^
