Atma book FATE "Giant Seps" is not part of normal FATE rotation, and will not being

[Kokai]

Greetings,

We looked into this because of the reports we were receiving, but we confirmed that there are no special conditions that need to be triggered for this FATE to occur. However, there is a limit to the number of FATEs that can be active at the same time within an area. Therefore, if you are waiting for a specific FATE to occur, please try completing the other FATEs in the area.

Trust me, this isn't the case so check again! I watched the cycle on my map for well over two hours before complaining which earned me a prompt GM response (thank you!). The fate for the Paladins popped several times, and for just under 7 minutes, no fates were active and that was after I waited over an hour for this one to repop. I know the exact time because I was, silly me!, waiting down in the giant area when it popped and had to make a run for it, and it completed just as I ran up towards the Stone Vigil entrance. Say what you will, this spawn time is borked!

Giant seps spawn time way to long please fix

[Kitkat]

I have to agree on this one, even though I finally got my kill. It took almost 4 hours before I saw Giant Seps fate spawn and that includes the one that was prior to it (though I can't quite recall the name) and these are the only fates that spawn in that small area. All other fates in the area, including Svara chain, spawned 2-8 times before Giant Seps fate popped again. I hate to say it, but with the grind as bad as it is currently there is no reason why we as players should be subjected to waiting on fates to spawn for this length of time. This isn't on just the first book either, each book has at least one fate that takes quite a while (even with all other fates being taken down) to spawn.

Giant Seps definitely needs to be looked into. Camate said there were no special conditions needed for the fate, but didn't say that it DID NOT have an abnormally long respawn timer compared to other Fates for some reason.

Notice his response doesn't directly answer the actual nature of the issue. That is some PR spin, or the wrong question was asked of the team. Please dig deeper into this Camate. Something about this Fate is different than others.

[Aresaka]

Waiting for 4 hours currently. This is ridiculous. I've seen every fate in the region atleast twice (rare ones). Saying "Go grind more fates" after we JUST finished grind fates for an upwards of 30 hours is just messed up. Up the spawn rate or switch it to another fate. Seriously.

This is a clear example of lack of knowlege & experiance with mmos from you guys!

IF you do that & you are far enough away. & a certain amount of players are there waiting. & it does not need to be many players staying waiting on that 1 particular fate. Then its over before you arrive back!
(This is common knowlege among most players who actually play, unlike the ones who "claim" they play but are none the wiser)

Another clear example is the fact your added a fate Again that doesnt regularly spawn.
(also common knowlege that this is bad after patch 2.1)

This is not a put down post. This is just the truth im not ammused & this is why post.
Really need to start thinking head! & Learn! from mistake &/or bad choices.

The recycling of FATEs for the purpose of Atma grinding is really allowing everyone to take a close, close look at FATEs in general, and naturally we are all now seeing the imperfections of the system when suddenly it is becoming relied heavily upon. Regarding Giant Seps in particular, I know for a fact that this FATE wasn't nearly as infrequent before the patch as is now being claimed. My wife and I were grinding leves at Whitebrim just a week before the patch. We were there for anywhere from 1-3 hours on the nights we played, and we took part in this FATE regularly to supplement our gained experience. Certainly proximity rules, but I had to weigh in when I saw this thread, knowing full well that I was doing this same FATE hourly or better just a week prior.

Just coming in to throw in support for the complaint. Waited for this FATE for 3.5 hours before it dropped. So many people where waiting that the FATE was done in exactly 1 minute, so even if completing other FATEs sped this one up (From what I can tell, it doesn't), you couldn't do it yourself, for fear of missing it all together.

Doubly absurd since apparently, from what I could tell in shout chat, Four Winds is a Atma FATE as well. That that FATE spawned, at a very minimum, 7 times while I waited for this one to.

[Jandris]

Giant Seps took a 3 hour wait for me. SE is serious with these time sinks, arn't they?

[Sirtimid]

And I'll add my voice to the long list of people complaining about atma weapons.

If we have to grind mindless content- then please make it efficient and not on the whims of the rng. A spawn rate of once every 10-15 minutes would be nice...
