you broke fates... why?

[frostmagemari]

Just 'cause it appears to be happening here to, i really have to ask 'Why'? Why are so many people unwilling to ever think that SQE could ever do anything wrong? All i hear in threads where someone has a (more often than not) legitimate problem with something the game is doing, they get mobbed by people who only seem to a variation of "You just don't get it! SQE didn't break anything, they fixed it! I don't know why people just don't understand that SQE doesn't make mistakes!"

The changes made to fates are bad ones. The fate system should not care how many people did the fate before you, it should be based on how many people are doing it, as in actively engaged in combat; That may mean increasing or decreasing hp by a percentage based on the number of people and the intended difficulty of the fate, at certain amount of people in the fate new abilities are unlocked (or locked out) to control damage potential.

SQE has systems that track who has aggro on enemies; the amount of targets with active aggro on enemies should be enough to determine how many are active in a fight and how the system needs to adjust itself. Instead of giving SQE free passes on everything, maybe they should actually be held to a standard.
