    Copycat Cassie is too unfair a hassle

    I\\'ve currently lead about 7 Copycat Cassie spawns in the past 9 days. As she stands now, there are too many variables to get her to show up and kill her.

    First I must ensure her weather will be up within my allotted Pagos time of three hours. That typically how long it takes to pop her, mind. However, with uncontrollable variables, not the least of which including how many people want to participate and help in the effort and sheer luck, determining how long it takes for her to show up, I may see her toward the end of my Pagos timer. This leaves me with not enough time to kill her before I\\'m booted out of the zone. This would not be too much too handle if I could reliably re-enter the same Pagos instance. This, however, is not always possible. Yet another seemingly unfair obstacle to overcome on top of the insane grind to even see her. I could reset my timer earlier, yes, but neither is that guaranteed to be successful as the instance may already be closed to newcomers while they are ushered into a new one.

    At this point I have timed out of 3 Copycat Cassies and it\\'s really making the game not fun. I've lost and wasted 9 hours after reaching the goal without a chance to win or lose against my foe. At the moment the earring is my only goal and I feel like I have to achieve it through nearly impossible obstacles unrelated to gameplay that seem to be working against me in this regard.

    It would be nice if we could get one of several things. Either a saved reservation to the same instance we were removed from, or a choice of several instances to join like the beginning of 4.0. Or some concrete description of the spawn conditions of Copycat Cassie. It would just be nice to be able to play the game and grind the NM that has been created. The battle should be fought against the morbol, not the game itself.

    yes this fate does need some adjustment with its spawn
    weather related spawns are fine but the hassle it takes to spawn cassie is so much.
    you can spend an entire prepping instance with 4 cycles of blizzard and it just wont pop.

    I've still never even seen the fate.

    It's really annoying when your timer is up for an instance and you want to keep playing, but the game decides to kill that instance off and not let anyone back in it.

    yes it seems there are quite a few conditions to make Cassie spawn.

    Blizzards for an extended period of time (or at least close enough together)
    Enough Ameretat's/Morbols killed to meet the requirements.
    enough other NM's on cooldown so that there's a chance an NM slot can be assigned to her instead of something else.

    Cassie and the firebird fates are a pain in the behind to spawn, and a good number of other NM's could do with their spawn conditions being tweaked.

    Horus and Behemoth are not that bad because you can pull like 10+ enemies at once
    While cassie pulling two morbols is a death wish

    You know a light buff to the morbol mobs will ensure a constant spawn rate. I also am not a fan of this "RNG = Player engagement" that SE seems to be pushing pretty hard. All Eureka glamours are locked behind high RNG and sometimes RNG on top of RNG like the optical hat. Just lazy game design imo.

    At this point whenever I hop into Pagos I never join a Cassie spawn party, she is practically a myth. I've fought her 3 times and all too low leveled to get anything besides EXP. After learning only 1 person in the whole mass will get the earrings per spawn I've really stopped putting effort for it.
