Fate "Taken" in Southern Thanalan Broken ?

[Gesser]

Greetings,

Currently we’ve already implemented a system that will boost the spawn rate of FATEs that have not been occurring, but in patch 2.3 we will be making adjustments to this so the effect is increased even more. We’ll also be making individual adjustments to FATEs, and in particular we will be making adjustments to the spawn location for the FATE “Taken” so that it occurs more frequently.

Additionally as a side note, there have been rumors floating around that failed FATEs have their spawn rate increased, but the system does not work this way.

Cool thanks! I think failed FATE's should be made to spawn sooner.

Get a lot of trolls starting FATE's & ruined them... on those long spawns, it's very painful. Especially the FATE "Surprise" which requires keeping two NPC's alive... any passerby gets that one going & it's spoiled within a minute's time.

That's interesting, we were told in the Live letter less than a week ago:

A: It really depends on how far you are referring to when you say “future.” At present, we have no plans to make adjustments in patch 2.28 or 2.3. If we were to make changes now, the effort put in by all the players who've been working hard on their weapons up until now would be wasted. However, in the future, with new players coming in and item levels increasing, it will be difficult to do everything from the beginning, so we're planning to make adjustments at that point in time just like we do with other aspects of the game. With that said, it’s not that we won’t be doing it in the future, it just won't be right away.

I remember waiting patiently on this FATE for my last book. About 3 hours of waiting and almost fell asleep, it finally popped. I think at my time, it's around 4 AM (or 6 AM JST). Too bad for the other players who was standing there, obviously waiting, still had no idea the FATE popped. So I proceed to own it solo very quickly, then logged and hit the hay. Then next I logged, I go to the old man to get my animus. lol

Pretty sure this had to deal with atma drop rate didn't it?

Yes it did, that quote was referring to the question about whether or not they had plans to increase the drop chances of atmas in fates, not the spawning of fates.

Been around 4 hours standing here at the FATE spawn point with nothing to show for it. This is of course, my last fate before I complete this last book for Animus, so of course it needs to be the most stubborn one. >:@

I started this boox and got 2 of the 3 fates right away, zoned to Little Ala Migho and there it was, but 90% completed, was able to only get bronze.

I have not left the zone since then, that was 5 hours 15 minutes ago. It litterally spawned as I typed this.

I just got it after ~2 hours waiting and doing some other FATEs and reading some FATE descriptions
it is actually part of a FATE chain
"Tempered, Tempered" > "The Book of Pride" > "Taken" (dunno if anything else followed coz i left after getting it done)

hope i could help you out

This is not true, the fate spawned without any of the "requisite" fates spawning.

This Chain is actually Incorrect, i didn't do any of these fates and i got it to spawn.

It is part of a Chain Fate, the first fate is "Run Like a Flame" lvl26. You actually have to speak to a Flame Scout to activate it and it becomes an escort mission back to Little Ala Mhigo. After a minute or two the Fate Taken should spawn. The reason i believe those two are linked is because after about 75% completion of the fate that same Flame Scout you escorted comes to help in the Fate and when complete has dialogue exchange with the hostages or people that were taken.

This worked for me. I waited around ~30 minutes for "Run Like a Flame" to spawn, then shrugged and decided to do it to pass the time while I waited for "Taken". Not even a minute after, the NPC's for "Taken" spawned.
