Please make "Dataqi Chronicles" wait time between FATEs shorter

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.

This is exactly why I don't raid. I shouldn't have to set aside X time to do a fate. Behemoth and Odin are perfect examples of how Fates like this could work. BEHEMOTH IS UP and the zone fills up as if a present day hunt was going on. But that was when Fates actually meant something. Shoot even the Eyes fate and Cancer were able to be easily cleared for a long time. I definitely had more than a week with those fates.

You get it! At least someone does! It's not as if you can say "Meet at Reunion at 8pm GMT for Dataqi run" either because you don't know when it'll spawn. >_<

I'd have to say that if you didn't see it after 90 minutes then you were probably in the wrong place. The next one doesn't start from where the last one off. Looks like i've done this four times as i've got four standards (the reward). At least two of those were by accident - I just happened to be there and picked up the chain after it had started. You don't have to be there from the beginning. Here is a good reference for the fate:

One way is to get a hunting group together to do it. Thats worked for me but I hunt often. Could also try PF?

I was fate grinding and watching the map. I know it doesn't spawn in the same spot as I got up to the cyclops. Azim Steppe is pretty much dead so there is a slim to 0 possibility that someone else cleared it. I typically am the one who clears Duty (where you gather the milk).

No one is asking for it to be nerfed. They asked for the wait times in between the fates to be eliminated. Learn to read.

then learn to read implication, too. wait times are just another factor that keeps you from finishing the content in 2 seconds. it's an achievement fate for a reason lmfao because it takes patience and persistence to achieve. ACHIEVE meaning effort and something you have to set aside more than 30 minutes of your life accomplishing. if it's an hour and 30 minutes of waiting for the fate to spawn? deal with it. not every single aspect of this game has to cater to everyone at every little detail like an achievement that probably 50% of people don't actively do

I understand the implication. People request QoL adjustments all the time, this is purely that. I spent 90 minutes in Steppe last night and Completed Duty as soon as I arrived. The next one did not pop within the rest of the time. That is almost as much time as I could spend in a raid which people are equating it too. It's not like oh you have 20 minutes in between fates. It is 20 minutes plus. This is the ONLY Fate chain that has these kinds of wait times.

Specifically when this was designed as casual content.

omg ppls just suck it up and do it

Read above. I have tried but like me and the OP have said, we can't keep a group together to complete the entire chain due to the atrocious wait times between the sequences.
