Hello,

Below is a message from Producer/Director Naoki Yoshida in regards to the frequency in which the FATEs that were added in 2.1 have been appearing.

The FATEs that were added in patch 2.1 have been affected by other FATEs within the same zone, and the situation is such that the frequency they start cannot keep up with the number of players participating.

As we've already finalized a countermeasure to increase the frequency, we are currently making preparations for the adjustment. We'll be confirming the fix tomorrow, and on Thursday, December 19 we will be having a short maintenance to increase the frequency of these FATEs.

While we would like to implement the fix on the 18th, the time in which we would complete the fix confirmation overlaps with JP peak time, and as we would like to prioritize everyone's play time we've decided to implement the fix on the 19th.

There is a possibility that the frequency of these FATEs increase by clearing the other FATEs in the area, but there is also the possibility that it will not fulfill the needs of the number of people who wish to participate. We will also be adjusting the amount of contribution needed for receiving rewards from these FATEs.

I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
