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

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.

The only problem with grinding other FATEs while waiting for a specific one is that in a large area with only a single Aetheryte like Coerthas, if you're on the other side of the map doing a FATE and the one you've been waiting for pops, you're essentially screwed because the FATE will most likely be completed before you can run all the way there.

I was really looking forward to doing the books since it was a checkpoint/progression grind instead of an rng grind until I found out I wasn't done waiting for/doing fates.

Even if I personally go grind out FATEs, the majority of the players waiting for my FATE are either lazy or scared that the lazy people will complete it before they return. Perhaps giving the Book an effect that, when the FATE in question spawns, gives you a prompt so you can decide whether or not you teleport to that FATE specifically when you're in the same zone until you complete it. This would give freedom to and reward those who would speed the process up for everyone else.

Everybody is talking about "Giant Seps" FATE, which is said to be "rare".
First thing first, Seps has never been as rare as it is now. And I've been FATE-grinding for a while, before 2.2.
It took me 4 hours to get this one. 4 hours of waiting in the cold breeze of Coerthas mountains.
And, actually, Giant Seps is not the only concerned quest : "Enmity of my enemy" FATE took me about 4 hours too, and this FATE is located in East Shroud, which means it is one of the FATEs able to loot an atma... And there were many people in here.
So this has nothing to do with "not enough people FATing" ... Please check the timer again... And if the timer seems to be OK, please change it, because after HOURS of FATing for atmas... waiting for about 8 hours just to make those two FATEs is not normal.

BTW, Knives idea, just above is just excellent !

It seems like you not only need luck to get atma but also luck for the FATE you needed to do for the book to spawn. Both Giant Seps and Enmity of my enemy spawn fairly quickly for me, less than half hour, but other members of the LS I am in waited quite sometime for theirs to spawn. Making it rain took quite a long time to spawn, I have seen other FATE in the area spawn multiple times, as much as 4-5 times while waiting.

There is no special condition for the FATE the spawn, except I think Enmity of my enemy pre-requisite is Enemy of my enemy, but all this FATE seems to have different timer than the rest and doesn't spawn as much as others, especially now that in some areas there are hardly any one doing FATE, making the spawn time even longer. This is something SE really need to look into, taking in the fact that there are less people doing FATE now than when on release, so FATE rotation is not as fast as it use to be. I don't think we mind camping for it, but some camp 4 hours just for 1 FATE which I think it's way too long.

It is. Enemy of my Enemy is a battle between Sylphs and Imperials, and by clearing that FATE by killing Imperials, Enmity of my Enemy begins where the surviving Sylphs from the previous FATE turn and attack you instead.

And the first one have to be started by a player...

what about the four winds in coerthas, how much does this take to spawn

[marksierens]

im doing the four winds FATEt for my book, well its impossible right now with so little players in coerthas id have to hire an army or friends because it consists of killing 4 bosses in 15 minutes i killed 1 boss alone took me 12 minutes just to fidn out there were still 3 left (hence the four winds) is it possible to like make bosses alot easier if the number of players doing the quest is 1?

[Didarami]

Got it. Six hours (real time) waiting time.
