Complaints Concerning the Yokai Watch Event

[Samcaesar]

They said before the event that it wouldnt be possible for most people to get all the weapons.

They KNEW people wouldnt want to get them all and the expectation was that most people would only get the ones they really wanted.

I highly doubt that they'd also expect some players of having all the weapons already (And some people with an incredible amount of will do). I also doubt that doing it over the span of two months is that hard for anyone, just tedious, boring, and dragged out that I don't think "most people" would want to touch another fate after this event. I don't get the deal of why they'd have to make it so annoying to get it.

Would doing fates all day for 2 months be enough to get all jobs to 60?

Normally maybe. But since these happens in low level zones, I doubt it.

I levelled my summoner from 51 to 57 with this event, FC EXP buff II was up most of the time but I never bothered to eat to get more EXP.

I get it it's optional

I'm well aware of the other grinds in the game, I'm also well aware that people find those pretty annoying too. I'm not saying just give me the weapons for existing, I'm saying make it so all that's required is 237 FATEs, is it really that much to ask for?

Those people deserve to be congratulated for such will power to do that grind, but fact of the matter is is this is some regular event stretched over the span of a bit over two months, by the end of it hopefully most people who want to get it will have it.

I don't know if anyone wants to take a few hours of each day (Again, like, 7 hours for one of the final 3 weapons means 21 hours total) to grind fates for it though. Some folks rather just get it done, and I've seen plenty of folks say that the grind just isn't worth it period.

I'm not saying just give me the rewards of the silver platter, keep in mind a bare minimum of 237 fates just about doubles what I've already got in FATEs I've done just playing the regular game. To the casual player I'm sure that's enough annoying FATE grinding, I don't quite get why that's not enough for you.

It seems like you've already outlined most of the reasons why this is the way it is.

The game has a history of making things long and tedious and annoying. Zeta weapon? Anima weapon?
237 FATES is not very much. FATES spawn relatively fast and, in a group, can be completed in a minute or less, especially FATES with a single boss. I'm sure in 1 hour you can complete 30+ FATES in some areas.
If you did FATES for just 1 hour every day in a group, you could complete 900 in a month.

Just 1 hour a day in a group. It's fairly reasonable for most casual players who want every weapon.
Many people will do it for much more than 1 hour a day.

We have to think about what is reasonable compared to the request.
If the request is to get every single weapon and the special mount, then doing FATES 1 hour every day in a group over 2 months sounds very reasonable to me. The effort must match the reward.

You said "stretched over the span of a bit over two months, by the end of it hopefully most people who want to get it will have it." So, if it is attainable after 2 months, why should it be changed?
Why do we need instant gratification instead of making a concerted effort over time?

This isn't the type of event that people are supposed to "just get done". It takes time. It takes effort.

But this event is not just about "playing the regular game". It's a special event that requires extra time and effort.
There is no reason to give instant gratification to every casual player.
Then the event loses meaning.

I don't know about in other servers, but in ours there may be 20+ groups in Party Finder at any time recruiting people to run through FATES as groups. I see them in zones and they just plow through FATES with lightning speed.

I think one of the purposes of the event is to work together to get the weapons. I don't think every single weapon and the "special mount" is meant to be attainable by every player.

I'm not trying to make the reply sound rude. I am sorry if it sounds that way. Just trying to rationalize why the event is the way it is and why it probably won't be changed.
It just seems to me like many posts are about "This is not convenient for me. Here is why. Please change it."

But many people are doing the event without any trouble.

I thought.... Events should be fun.... not grinding Fest >.>

This so much this.. Normally I try to do all events for completion sake. Wasn't too interested at first because I've never heard of yokai before, but the inclusion of fate grinding in a seasonal/promotional event that was supposed to be fun with cute little minions killed it for me. Off topic do the minions themselves need fates or is that just weapons?

Edit #2 and edit button on the mobile site would be nice.

You need to do fates for both, have the watch equipped and you'll get a Yokai medallion after each fate. You need those medallions to buy the minions.

They are not going to make this easier.

This is content that supposed to distract players for 2 months. Super dedicated players can do it in a few days, but more casual players can probably get it done in that time. Personally, I'm using it to level my MCH in between dailies. Got 4 weapons so far.
