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.

Do -not- do what Camate suggests.

I simply got up to use the restroom while waiting for this exact FATE to spawn, in a matter of no more than 3 minutes the fate spawned, and was killed before i returned to my PC. I sat down with the words "FATE Completed" over my screen and had to wait another 2 hours.

If you've ever grinded (ground?) Coerthas fates before this patch, you'll recall that this one was a rare pop in the first place. Not sure how to quantify 'rare', but I do know that Bellyful would always pop 3-4 times minimum before I saw Seps.

I'm glad someone else got to this before I did, did as the rep suggested as well and jumped on my war to go help work out some other fates in the surrounding area hoping that it would help the fates cycle faster. Sadly with the majority of the playerbase out fate grinding in the main 3 regions, Coethras isn't getting the attention it used to. I'm also afraid of going too far from the fate to help them cycle and having it burnt through by the people camping the fate before I can get back to it. :\

It may be a bit more proactive on the XIV team's behalf to look at the Fates tied to the Books and increase their frequency giving the fact that the majority of the players currently in game are engaged in other areas of the world and aren't helping cycle them as normal.

SE please change this fate's respawn or change the fate that is used for this book.

I have been there 3 hrs 40 minutes and no spawn.

I will not accept this system as being legitimate, you must modify it so that it can be completed within 30 minutes without fail maximum.

This does not challenge a player. It challenges a player's patience and stupidity (i.e if you're stupid enough to actually do it).

In my opinion, this is the kind of transparency that would be HIGHLY useful for anyone who needs a FATE, and knowing what to pick apart to improve the system. They're an element of the game that we really have nothing but guesswork on. But just cycling through them to get one to spawn...? Most of the FATEs we have troubles with are largely overshadowed by beast tribe or quest FATES (like the Crystal Tower ones) that fill the holes immediately. It's a pretty extreme imbalance.

Imagine waiting on this 1 fate for 3 hours straight, then doing fates on the side as you wait....and people take down the fate before you get there...(4 hours)....then waiting another 4 hours and no spawn. With all the advice from people on how to spawn this, or to take down other fates while you wait...MAKES NO SENSE, because there will be others downing the fate before you get to it. Why am I waiting 8+ hours for 1 fate for 1 book out of 9 books for a weapon that is weaker then the one I am wearing. This fate should be readily available just as other fates are, or atleast not 8 HOURS wait time to get it. If there is a forced spawn, we should have this information. 8 Hours......8 Hours, I can understand 2, this has to be fixed. Imagine a new person just made 50 doing this, they will quit the game.

Please fix this.

[Jerakal]

Can confirm, 3 years on, that this FATE still doesn't spawn as commonly as the others.

Probably worth looking into.

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.

[Koroem]

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.
