Yokai Event

[Zomkei]

Serious question, if the item level scale perfectly down why do I personally do better damage and have higher MP/HP as a WHM using higher level gear, than i do of level gear? I mean, it's not that I'm bad at the game, I can finish certain level 15 fates in 30-45 seconds wearing item level 120 gear, so. I have never seen this happen with hoards of people geared of level.

When you're synced down you have the highest possible stats from your gear (for that level) and usually leveling gear doesn't have that much.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Thank you.

My original point pretty much remains then, it wasn't like I thought it wasn't scaled back at all or something. There is just clearly a difficulty change based on the kind of gear you have. Either way, I can now level other classes through fates again since the grinding hoards are gone, so I don't really care on the technicalities.

I skipped the event because I find FATES to be one of the lowest forms of content the game has, particularly if it doesn't even add new ones and just has you grind normal ones for drops. Difference is I didn't get all pissy about not being able to get all the rewards for it. Learn from me.

Same. It's odd how the less you care, the more fun you have (typically).

As much as I hated this event and everything FATE related, I do believe that the reaction the OP has it's a little too exagerated. Afterall while the event is atrociously bad with nearly zero commitment involved into making it interesting, it was still optional and the time given was quite large.

Good thing I played YW way before this event: I must say that I would've probably avoided the game too, if this was the case.

Way to promote an amazing game!

I've fully completed every event since 2.0 launched, until this one. The prizes are are almost offensively bad, but I still regret that my 100% event streak has been broken because this event was so tedious that it killed my spirit.

Yeah, I know it was optional, but i'm someone, who needs everything completed, especially when it's just there, waiting to be finished. But it really killed my spirit; it was literally the only thing I did, whenever I logged in for the first days of the event, thinking it will be just like the other events. I had to stop and didn't renewed my sub for a month. I read that it's not SE's idea for this event to turn out like this, but YW's?

Speaking as someone who was in your position similarly years ago, take this opportunity to re-evaluate how you look at completionist mentality, at least when it comes to MMORPGs. If you must, without any question, get everything, then you need to learn to pace yourself accordingly.

Even when people say to spread out the grind, that's not always helpful, as might be your case. Some folks come out unscathed from non-stop grinding in as short of a timespan as possible. Others won't. Sometimes, no amount of pacing will help you avoid the burnout. That is where you need to learn when to stop, if burnout or distaste is not an acceptable outcome lol. Clearly you stopped too late, but that happens to everyone.

You think I did it for the mount?

For me, the mount was the reason. Seeing people squished into that thing, the roe men havimg to hunch over on top of it, floating around Idyllshire, had me burst into real laughter. I had to have it.

But after getting it from collecting a wall of ugly minions, I had no desire to grind out weapons with any of those minions plastered all over them.

In fact, I got the Blizzaria rod thinking it was this lovely snowflake design.... Only to see her cartoonish face set squarely in the center. Ugh.

Why's that a problem? Blizarria is best waifu.
