    Another FATE Rant

    By now everyone should realize that SE will not change their policy about using FATES to enhance daily content, i.e. Beast Tribe and Daily Hunt quests. If that is the case then they must use FATEs that are conducive to the timely completion of these quests. These FATES should never have respawn times of more then 30 minutes. I am 67 and retired, I can afford to wait 2-4 hours for a FATE for my Hunt quota. Unfortunately 95% of the players with real lives cannot. SE please consider this.

    It should be 1 hour.
    Not everyone reach a FATE place the moment it ended.

    I can see 2 solutions to accomplish an ease for us:

    1) Whenever a FATE is chosen for a daily (or any) quest, the spawn rate will be generally increased for the time the FATE is flagged for a quest.
    2) A mechanism where the open World is scanned and if at least 1 player stands in the zone of a FATE that's part of any quest, the spawn rate will be increased.

    Option 2 might be too ressource hungry so maybe option 1 is easier to implement.

    Best would be if no FATES would be used for any quests tho but I doubt we can change's SE's mindset about them because it makes production of new elements quite cheap and easy.

    Only fast-respawning FATEs should be required for daily hunts. Having to wait hours for your Animus books is bad enough already.

    Agreed, I'm not touching daily hunts because of FATEs. I'd pick killing 50 mobs instead of a FATE ( > . >

    Even if I got time to wait - I'm not going to log in to AFK, I log in to play the game... (And all the "you can do this and that while waiting" comments - No I can't. Popular FATEs are zerged in seconds, so either wait on the spot or have a very high chance to miss the FATE and wait double the time you would have waited if you were standing at the spawn point of it.)

    The best part about daily hunt fate mobs, is that in the amount of time it takes you to land them, you could have probably killed 2-3 A rank hunts in a party.

    Devs have basically put a band-aid on a severed arm.

    If you don't own a PS3...

    I am currently waiting Daxio, been there for almost an hour. Can't say I had any problems with waiting for FATEs before, either for Daily Hunts or Animus, but it is annoying the few times it happen to just park your character, turn on the tv volume and do something else.

    I don't think it means what you think it means.

    awww 67! thatsa cute o)

    I agree with you post on dailies.

    I am finally participating in and fully enjoying the hunt parties BUT I also want to do the dailies. Sadly most times the fate section is really frustrating, any daily that takes 3-4 hrs to complete to me....is not a daily.

    For the small rewards they give, I think they need to change the requirements from a specific fate boss to perhaps completing any 3-4 zone fates...anything else really. (which would actually help ppl doing fates not hinder them as it is now , many ppl don't leave the fate area in fear of missing it, that's not helping anyone else but requiring numerous completions certainly would imo.)

    I have tried clearing the fates in the zone but see no improvement with spawns, the same 3-4 fates over and over again while ppl still remain waiting for that specific daily fate.
    Not all days are bad though but for me the majority are long waits with or without fate farming in the zone.

    Its not a game breaker but if there are some who for whatever reason, only do dailies, then for their sake especially I hope they can improve on the time needed to complete them.
