Please make a FATE hunting log

[Mithrie]

Hi all,

We were talking today in free company about it and I think it would be awesome of there was some sort of FATE hunting log that would reward you to discover, take part in and earn Gold Medals in all FATEs possibly rewarding extra company seals or something.

This would help us to spread out rather than basically just going South Shroud 15-30, Costa Del Sol 30-35, Central Ceorthas 35-45 and Northern Thanalan 45-50, which seems to be the 'standard' leveling route.

What do you all think of this idea? Sorry if it's already been suggested, which I assume it probably has.

Absolutely agree with this and I think it's a shame they don't have one, since many, many, many FATE's just get ignored because they're out of the way and there's no real reason to do them. This was brought up a while ago and the dev response was that making a log would limit the number of FATE's they could add in future updates. Which...makes no sense at all to me. They already have logs for levequests, sidequests, main quests, and every other quest you can think of, and they're adding more all the time with apparently no issues. I wouldn't ask for some big in-depth log of FATE's. Just the name of the FATE with the in-game description of it and the level requirements/location/time limit/type of FATE. You know, the same data they already have for the quest logs and which is all already stored on the servers anyways. Added to that would be whether you've completed it or not (even if you participate and fail or get no medal, it would still at least log the FATE) and your best score on that FATE (bronze/silver/gold). That's it. Hardly a server-destroying amount of information. They already know how to do this, since they keep track of such things for achievements relating to certain big FATE's like Cancer and Gorgimera.

I agree.

That will some player to go out and explore. I would love to have it and complete the list

Previous suggestion with community rep response.

I agree with OP, but Camate says it's unlikely.

Well, if we keep talking about it, it could still happen.

I like the idea Very often when I'm in some god-forsaken corner of Eorzea a fate pops that I can't beat alone and there's no hope that anyone else will come join. This is very frustrating, so anything that would increase the likelihood of beating these fates is a good idea in my book.

Hmmm, I wonder how much extra data it would cost to keep track of FATEs. It sounds like quite a lot if it is reason enough to refrain from it.

Personally I would be happy enough with achievements for how many different FATEs you have done. But a log keeping track of which ones I have or have not done would have been nice.
