Please make massive fates instanced!!

[Drakzen1]

As we all know massive fates such as Odin and behemoth just don't work correctly. Either they are invisible to all but a few and lead to AOE spamming. Or the AOE spamming coupled with massive amount of people crash the entire sever or produce major lag issues.

I have one simple request. Please make massive fates instanced because the current system is rather pointless. I know this would mean dialing down on the toughness of the bosses but im all for this if we can at-least enjoy the fight(party based roles vs random spamming). Because I don't think anyone is enjoying these fates now.

Now a good way to have this work is to have instance fates appear on the duty finder or a quest randomly appears when the time limit is available. Now I know this is not the best solution but something along these lines.That everyone has the ability to enjoy and at least be apart of. Fates are a wonderful system but the way there currently been used is not in any way productive or effective.

Feel free to add your own ways that may make the system work. Im not saying they have to be instanced but something that everyone can enjoy and be a part of.

I think all that's really needed is a way to prioritize monsters/party to display first and non party members based on distance second.

This way behemoth and Odin won't be invisible.

Tho instancing these contents sound good on paper, it won't work.

This would still lead to people not being able to play it. Ever try to run AK with a pre-made group and still have to wait 20 minutes because the instance servers are full?

They need to increase the instance servers anyway, but atm doing this would just cause a whole other problem.

Yeah i kinda felt that it was a catch 22. But something has to be done.

Yes they do cause they are in bad shape as well. Thats why i said something along these line something that make it playable for all.

I wish they would remove FATE altogether to be honest. Instanced versions of Behemoth/Odin would have bee significantly funner to do.

People asked -
"Can we please have big open world bosses so we can team up and take them down together?"
Odin and Behemoth fates were born.

People now ask -
"Odin and Behemoth fates are a waste of time and pointless. Make them instanced!"

Not that I disagree at all, they definitely should be instanced.
However it is rather amusing that people asked, they got, then they hated.

I can understand what SE was trying to do with them, but to be honest the execution didn't really work out. Something more like the Guild Wars 2 world bosses would be ideal (such as Jormag, The Shatterer etc.. If you don't know them, YouTube them), and Behemoth increasing in size by about 10. Odin however should definitely be instanced.

If you did play GW2, you would agree with me when I say that the FATE or "events" were much better designed. The mechanics were better, the functionality was miles and miles ahead, and quite simply the ability to actually see the mob from a very large distance was another thing.

I don't like the idea of making it an instance. I like seeing my fellow end game runners that may not be in my FC. Its like having the best of the server all over for a large party. What needs to be fixed is the priority of what is shown. Who cares if you can't see all the people fighting as long as you see Odin. Also I've seen people in their 30s trying to fight Odin. More than likely everything you do is gonna miss him. So leave the area and stop the AoEs! I also suggest lowering your graphic settings in game. Also set effect filters. I have mine set to Others:None PT: Either Limited or none(forgot) and mine:all. I have a brand new computer so my settings are probably set a lot higher than needed. Last Odin battle only lost sight of him once for 2-3 secs.
