"Kindness of Strangers" are not kind at all

[BobbinT]

Hopefully this is really the case. It's just kind of sad since I did join from quite early and best I got is silver. And it did in fact annoys me since rezzing always put me outside the zone, which is where the healer is.

[OmniCake]

Lol it doesn't reset your progress, I've died in fates in a zone where my return point is and rezzed at it, I'd still get gold once the fate was over, without being there.

Long story short, you got silver because you were too busy being dead

[Neo_Genesis]

You're lucky to have received silver... As a Healer who tries to help and raise/cure everyone while DD-ing also, I find it impossible to get higher than COPPER on that fate. Even if I decided to not raise anyone, it's impossible to do enough damage... We get shafted every time and here you are complaining that not only were people nice enough to raise you when you died, but they did it "too far away" so you couldn't get higher than a silver medal... ridiculous.

You really should be grateful you got ressed at all. Instead of complaining about the healers who were trying to help you, maybe you could concentrate on not dying?

[Vactus]

You got silver cause you kept dieing and not contributing. This isn't a prank and your progress doesn't get reset.

Way to explode cause you're short tempered and apparently know nothing about how fates work. Getting gold on either of those fates is extremely difficult.

Get the hell over your short sighted and entitled self.

[Elim]

Even using level sync in a fate then running out of it doesn't reset your progress. I know because I fate farmed to 50 in dragon head once. You should be thanking those healing for raising you, because you didn't have to run all the way back from wherever your spawn point was. It's kind of sad to see you cursing them for doing you a really nice favour.

Well... I still find this quite odd, why rezzing player while outside the zone?

I remember this one experience where I was doing lots of FATE on north thanalan for farming GC seals. There's one time where I got rezzed into outside FATE zone when it's almost over and because of that, I only got like bronze even though I nailed lots of damage there. From there on, I assume leaving FATE zone midway and re-enter kinda reset my progress.

If I am really wrong about this, then I'm sorry for my rant.

But in this Odin FATE, I was in scholar job, which is a healer, and was already in this job since I just finished a duty roulette which gave extra reward for healer job at that time. And while I was there, I kept spamming heals/protect/SS to my party members and gave several DOTs on Odin if I could manage to target him, was standing on quite edge of FATE zone. I have even rezzed people outside party if I happen to notice one and can squeeze it. I did count how many I got felled which I think like 4 times. 1st time rezzed still in FATE zone, but the rest? I got rezzed outside 3 times.

And here lies the question:
1. Why the heck there are healers outside FATE zone keep standing there and not entering?
2. Do they even get FATE contribution even though they're not entering the zone? granted, if they might be in same party as other players engaging Odin too.

And don't tell that I never felt my gratitude when I got rezzed because I got it alot and I always thanked them for it, which I got same amount when I rezzed other people.

Guess this is mostly the FATE system faults, but I still find this really unusual for the out-zone rezzing. Plus, this is kinda 1st time for me that I got these multiple out-zone raises.

And again, I did ask other party member and they did get their gold medals. And their dying counts more than I do, because I was busy raising them. So what the heck did I do wrong?

My only regrets is not screencaps these for proof.

I really hope there's some official clarification about my doubts.

[SummonerSenah]

I died three times doing the Go, Go, Gorgimera fate once and ran back from the aetheryte each time, and still got Gold while soloing. I was SMN at the time and I did some damage and also raised a few people. I think it's just because Odin is a difficult Fate to get gold on.

[Dark-Saviour]

You don't need to be in the actual ring to contribute. There's one fate in Coerthas where most of the mobs are actually outside the ring a fair bit, and I recently did one of the ones to unlock Crystal Tower by luring the mob outside the ring and away from the random mobs that were surrounding him.

And I've come to Odin from the start (one guy attacked before I started in), gotten into a group within ~15 seconds of engaging him, DPSed the whole time (except for a couple of 10-second period where he was invisible) and still gotten a bronze.
The way those fates are weighted is just stupid.

[BobbinT]

That is kinda odd.

Still, this doesn't answer why there's bunch of healers parks outside the zone. I do suspect they're taking advantage for this achievement. I kinda wish this achievement never exist in 1st place.

sigh... if only I did screencaps it.

I'm confused, don't you need to be in the FATE zone when it ended so that you get your FATE reward?

I'm even having several occasions in the past where I got accidentally thrown outside FATE zone when it ended, whether I walked outside by mistake or died and either rezzed/hp-ed to camp, and I don't get any reward even though I did lots of damage. And that's on regular FATEs.
