    Please decrease Fate times for Dailies.

    I tried to do the boar fate.

    I am doing my dailies while queued for Frontlines and storyline roulette to maximize my time on my new relic.

    Waiting 45+ mins to do a fate for it to die in 27 seconds and not being able to join a party or I would loss my 64+ mins in the queue for frontlines only to get bronze and inturn no drop. Isn't fun or a very good use of my time.


    Please update these fates to 15 min timers. I think that would be fair.

    I don't do the FATE based dailies. Although you need 18 Vanu for an item, I do those instead. Much quicker that way. In addition, keep an eye out for the FATES while you do the other dailies. If they are up, do them and bank it for a later day.

    The FATE based ones are:
    Amalj'aa: Pulling Fangs (Quenching the Flame)
    Sahagin: Removing the Stain (Watch your Tongue)
    Kobold: Wrath of the Roundsman (Making the Rounds)
    Kobold: A Coblyn Catastrophe (Full Metal Alchemist)
    Sylph: What a Boar (Boar Wars)

    I do 3 Vanu dailies and 9 non-Vanu, and can't tell which are FATE and which are not until I take them.

    That FATE used to pop for me quite often when we were running them out there. It was due to an adjustment they made a long time ago, which is likey the issue you are facing now. The FATE's there may not be very active these days, so the respawns have slowed down. Go clear them for a bit and you may see it spawn. Worked int he past for me.

    I think the FATE times are fine really, I don't mean to sound harsh but it was your own decision to stay in your DF queue and not join the party.

    I like to do the FATE's whenever they are up so I have the item already before even accepting the quest. I recommend doing this ^^

    One issue with the fates on beast tribe quests is that a fate will not appear if there are too many fates of the same level running in the nearby area. If you clear the fates you don't want, it can cause the fate you are waiting on to become available sooner.

    Back when people were regularly leveling beast tribe reputations, you always had people clearing fates associated with level 42 and 45 quests. Now everyone is waiting for the level 48 quest fate, and without anyone clearing the other fates, it takes longer for them to spawn.

    Of course, the design philosophy of the game has moved away from forcing players to wait for fates. It isn't gameplay to pad your game with afk timers. There is one more important lesson developers need, though. If you are going to have players revisit old content, the developers need to revisit it first.

    Yep, I've got an inventory page with 4 types of unidentified items, 6 types of crystals, 3 or 4 types of fate items, and eventually will have varying amount of 4 types of crafted items (gotta pick them up when someone undercuts on the mb). Much of this will remain in my inventory for at least a month, possibly much longer depending on how many relics I want to eventually create. It's not like the game has inventory space issues, right?

    I have all of my crafters level 50+ and I'm working on multiple relics. I put things on my retainers unless I'm going to need them at that moment. My inventory has a lot of free space and gathering FATE items before I turn them in really isn't affecting me that much other than helping me out a lot.

    If you abandon a beast tribe quest, you'll actually get the quest allowance back. So if you get a FATE quest, you can just abandon it.

    Yesterday I had all 4 beast tribes give me FATEs as well as the 2 needed for the daily hunts as well.

    I spent about 10 hours waiting on 6 FATEs. At the very least their spawn times need to be significantly reduced.
