DD Nerfed

"Working as intended"

Dear god I'm thankfully they weren't actually serious when they said that. Trolololo to the people who defended it though.

[Shinalia]

It was fun with things contentiously spawning, gave it a realistic feel.

Because nothing says "realistic" like creatures appearing out of thin air. XD

It was working as intended. What wasn't working as they intended was the amount of harassment someone got for killing lambs to early. Whether they knew no better, didn't care or just wanted to annoy everyone it was always the same. I even saw very colorful death threats on my server. Add on to that the people that started demanding gil to not kill the lambs and SE had to change it. It sucks but now I'll just run AV and farm tomes from 47 up.

If I remember right they just said that it wasn't an exploit. Meant that it protected the players from getting banned if they were abusing the FATE in the way it was. Didn't say that it wouldn't be a design flaw that's ought to be fixed eventually though.

DD was broken. How could you say otherwise? It had the potential to give 5-8 times more exp than anything in the game once every 30-45 minutes.

Ha!

All I can say is 'good'. That fate was nothing but a free ride to 50 and spawned a lot of toxic behaviour. I've only done it once and I killed the lambs, I didn't care.

There are many fates that can be abused the same way, like any item turn in fate. That why this it's so confusing why they nerfed a single one, when there's numerous others, two being in the EXACT SAME ZONE AS DD, that can be abused in the same way.

"Free ride", logging into the game is basically a free ride to 50. Doing any fate in the world and leveling off fates is a free ride, how is nerfing one single fate going to change anything?

It's not.

They should've hotfixed in a 400% leve and 600% dungeon + hunting log exp boost as well. That is dev time well spent, not nerfing something that can be done in hundreds of fate all over the world.

@Shiyo - If it can be done at FATEs in every other zone in the entire game world, then explain to me please why it's *not* being done there already, in any way that compares to DD? It's not like 46-50 is the only grind in existence; any of the classes become a grind after about 25-30 if you don't have quests available to help speed it along.

People aren't smart, that's why. You can do the earth sprite item turn in fate in the same zone as DD and farm the eles for 20 mins for insane experience as well. There's tons of fates like that all over the place, people just don't take advantage of them.

I like this change.

I am feeling this way as well. The initial comment from SE was to more or less to convey they weren't going to be even looking at players doing the event as possible exploiters. But this nerf shows it was an abused fate.

As for the turn in fates that also can be abused for larg exp, I feel there is still a large difference between any of them and DD. First DD still gave gold for just killing, turn ins still require turning in the drops to get credit. This makes it much harder to change how those fates work as limiting spawns makes them much more exclusive.
