Please stop putting holidays/events inside Fates

[ShadowDan]

FATEs are a waste of time nowadays since they've made dungeons rewarding.

Now if they could only stop forcing them down our throats and putting them into mandatory questlines...

People used to say the reverse when FATES were better exp than dungeons. But I agree, FATES have always been fairly boring.

The fate events at this point are pretty ridiculous. I mean, we've got a new seasonal event going on that requires you to spend an hour camping (not even participating, just waiting) fates and you're done with it. Bam, nothing left as far as the event goes.
Might as well not have an event since there's no reason to care about it after doing the required fate 3 times. I'm pretty disappointed about that.

Yeah it's insane. What makes these devs think that fates are actually a good designed system? Why can't they just admit defeat and fix them?

[Hvinire]

Thank you for the feedback we've received about this. We'll be sure to keep it in mind when developing future events!

And perquisites quests too, like crystal tower? Because that was not fun at all.

Oh you should say about FATE prerequisite and not about the Quest, quest is fine, more cutscene and story lore would be better, but please no Quest that "Do this FATE to progress"

Seasonal Event Wishlist
Just wanted to get out my wish list for seasonal/special events.

Atmosphere:
City / Outpost should have themed related decoration
Cities should have a musical twist based on the event
Environment should reflect the time of year; fall, winter, spring, summer. Nothing over the top but just a slight change

Event:
Event FATE - event related of course
Event Dungeon - Both lv 15 and Hard Mode
Event Trial - Both lv 15 and Hard Mode

Rewards:
Event themed Minion
Event themed Armor / Outfit
Event themed Chocobo Barding
Event themed Weapon
Event themed Emote
Event themed Items

I actually really liked the latest Holiday Fate, I found it very easy and had done it multiple times before I realized I had 90 more crystals than I could possibly need.

The fate events at this point are pretty ridiculous. I mean, we've got a new seasonal event going on that requires you to spend an hour camping (not even participating, just waiting) fates and you're done with it. Bam, nothing left as far as the event goes.

I thought they were on a half hour timer, also if you caught the one in Thanalar you could immediately teleport to Noscea and grab that one as well and at least get silver. Further I've noticed the fate up a lot in higher level zones (maybe the difficulty is a bit much compared to syncing for the newbie zone ones) but the point still stands that you could have done these passively as well as you leveled or whatever.

I haven't read most of the thread but I really don't see the alternative here. The holiday stuff was completable in about an hour and a half, do you want that like shaved down, do you just not like camping things?

Dyvid so mostly your wishlist is fulfilled I guess?

There's nothing intrinsically bad about FATES; I enjoyed this holiday one. The problem is that we shouldn't have to wait for them. I don't think anyone would be complaining if FATES required by quests or events were able to be activated by players any time they are in the area, like we can with battle leves.

It's the downtime of staring at your map for 30 minutes to an hour that frustrates players.

[Elurra]

I was about to say the same thing, Omni. Should be able to trigger the fate when needed.
