Crystal Tower gated behind fates?

[Aeyis]

The CT FATEs are special and have their own timers. They pop up every 5-10 minutes, not 50. FATEs can be solo'd but only if the previous one that popped had few people involved (FATEs scale based on the number of players participating in the prior).

If it's still hard, just grab a few friends or FC mates.

The Coerthas fate can take over 2 hours to spawn. It's also impossible to solo, and depending on who you'd bring; hard/impossible to duo.

Yo.

Rigth after servers were up with patch 2.1, ppl waitet up to 5 hrs for one fate.

So don't cry when waiting a half hour.

Darn kids, back in my day.

O.o

Is there an easier way than waiting 50+ minutes for a couple fates to pop? On top of that I don't even think that the "waves" one is even soloable....

Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: I think I was dragging 329432978 mobs behind me, so had that not been the case I probably could have soloed.

Which CT FATE need 50 minutes instead of 10 minutes to pop up again?

Yeah, the Natalan Tower NM is a pain if you can't silence Stoneskin, cause that's not stoneskin. That shyt is Diamondskin...

Do it as a Monk or bring a Monk with you ^^

They pop up every 5-10 minutes, not 50.

Please explain to me then how I waited 1 hour and 15 minute when I did it a few weeks ago and camped it out 45 mins with an FC mate LAST WEEK

Please check your facts.

Sad thing is all of you are complaining about 45 minutes for a FATE to spawn. I'm assuming most of the people posting here didn;t do it day one where it took 2 hours or more per fate because of spawn timers and so many people doing them if you didn't do enough damage and get credit you were stuck waiting another 2 hours for it to spawn. Imagine spending your whole day doing 2 out of the 4 fates.

It's true: Coerthas FATE, and maybe some others, can take quite a while to appear. Even so, the spawn rate is MUCH higher and MUCH MUCH more reliable than when these FATEs worked on the same system as normal FATEs. Count your blessings!

As for difficulty, yeah, if the FATE was defeated by multiple players previously, they can be difficult or impossible to solo, especially for a player with lower average ilvl. The good new is, if you fail it, it's guaranteed that the next time it pops it will be at the minimum possible difficulty, greatly increasing the odds that even a lower-ilvl-player will be able to defeat it. And if you're still having trouble, don't be afraid to /shout asking for assistance; a lot of the time folks WILL drop by and help out, if you ask.
