Starlight FATE frustration

[_Babble_]

Please fix the starlight festival FATE. After 5 runs I've still not received credit for participating. Also, please increase the spawn rate for the FATE. It's enormously frustrating to wait so long for a FATE that takes less than a minute to complete.

Are you doing it in a party? I remember that being an issue whenever they introduce FATEs for seasonal events. Anyway, things tend to calm down a little bit later on, as people are rushing the hell out of it as usual.

Make sure that you are using the level sync function, too. I forgot to do that the first time around.

You also only get credit if you're using the version of the seasonal mount spawned by talking to the nearby FATE NPC with the blue icon.

[Suki-]

Just to clarify, are you using the mount from the NPC? Because you don't get credit otherwise >.<

Learnt this the hard way ;-;

1. Level sync (opps! Don't forget that XD)
2. Use mount from the NPC located next to the FATE area (not your own mount)
3. AIM (If you cant predict/accommodate for a moving target then you will not contribute at all and get nothing)

I earned Gold 15+ times in a row in a light party with full traffic on a congested server.
The FATE spawns between 5-10mins in my time playing it.

Or you can wait 24-48 hours and do it when there is 1/10th of the people :3

It really seems that SE learns nothing about past events. People are going to do these things in high numbers because its a new event and barely anyone wants to just wait days to even start it. So why did someone even think that one single Fate would be enough? Why not spread it to all city states and maybe two or three fates per city state? This would make the spawn time more reasonable and it would space out the people. (And if they spawn at the same time you will not have Fate trains too) Even if only a small amount of people do these you will have lots of people there because there is only one.

It was already so packed and this was not even prime time. Its really shocking that they make those mistakes again and again..Thankfully I got all of my main stuff from it (and I did it solo so you can get credit that way too) and might try it out again for more firework. But still I cant see how this will be going on the really big servers...

Seems like SE aren't the only ones not learning from past events then....

What confused me the most is the FATE needing a level sync button in the first place when you're only using a mount action to complete it. I wasn't expecting a button and didn't even notice it when I saw it start up the first time and I wasn't the only one. A lot of people didn't notice and spent that battle throwing presents for nothing.

I am successfully getting gold doing this solo, so a party isn't even needed as long as you can aim.

From my experience, the best moments are:
- when a treant stops moving
- aiming slightly ahead of one of the slow moving ones

I managed to get gold solo on two chars, I think they made it intentionally easy to clear so long as you actually participate. That said, it is that participation that's the problem, especially if you forget to sync down like I did (derp)
