Please make "Dataqi Chronicles" wait time between FATEs shorter

[zeth07]

I'm currently trying to get the Dataqi Chronicles FATE chain done and for some of the fates there is a 20 minute+ wait between them.

This makes no sense and is harsh when trying to keep a group together to get this thing done for the achievement. It is also nearly impossible to solo.

I tried to do these solo as a new lvl67 WHM the other day & the 3rd/4th (not sure) in the series just mashed me into pulp in less than a minute.

My Best chance I had on this fate was as PLD at 68/69. I could keep myself up but was unable to burn the boss down fast enough. I believe it was Diplomacy or Decimation with the Ogres. Reducing the time in between would be nice as the wait time people lose interest.

these are not meant to be done solo. get a group together.

FATEs are only relevant for a week or two after expansion release. On Leviathan, one of the biggest servers, you'll be lucky to find enough people to form a FATE group at peak time, never mind off-peak. Even reward fates like Prey Online get nobody attending most of the time.

I've always done this with a hunt group. So I agree - get a group together to get it done.

Both of you missed the OP's point. It's great to get a group together and I have had people show up for the fates when I am doing them solo but the 20 minute + wait times between the sequences people lose interest or go off onto something else. That was the OP's gripe. He gets people there but then the wait time kills it.

[DrWho2010]

they need to have some patience then. if they're in a group and they want to do the FATE chain then they should understand that you have to wait.

[Culfinrandir]

That's exactly what happened to me. 3 people at FATE one, 2 at the next & I ended up solo at the one that killed me. When exp bonus FATEs are popping elsewhere then people will always wander off. There is no continuity between this chain like there is for, say, Highbridge.

You basically have to set aside "raid time" with a FC for this fate. It took my group like 1h30m to complete it when SB first came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZBr650-Fk0

This fate is the savage mode of fates.
