FATES!

[Malmstrom]

i think its a good idea as a replacement for EXP
like all my DoW/M are capped out and if they add more ranks to shared fates feel like a waste of exp

I have a hard time with the crowd that says it's okay for FATEs to become irrelevant after you have reached a certain point. It would be great if there was some form of incentive to do them at level cap. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but just enough to make doing the FATEs not a complete waste of time at cap. A few tomestones. A higher gil reward. Hell, maybe another rank in the system where all of the fate vendor items just cost less after you hit it, which would make the purchases of materia and crafting mats more worthwhile because you get more for your time spent.

Either way, I feel like implementing the shared FATE system and then letting the FATEs fall by the wayside is a terrible practice, and I hope something is announced soon.

Same. When I returned and did ShB, people had already stopped doing fates, apart from those near pixies dailies. So basically I have barely done any in the other areas because there's only so much FATE soloing I can stand (it takes too long compared to rewards). I miss the times when FATEs where relevant.

remember how doing fates was for relic? how FUN THAT WAS? no. no one thought that was fun. especially when Seps didn't show up for like an hour.

And yet people still did them.

And did them for their HW relic.

And did them for the shared FATE rewards.

The problem they always seem to be a one and done deal. You got your thing, that's it, you're done. There is no added value. There is no reason to go back and do it more. There is no incentive to a level capped person to go back and FATE at all.

its cuz you're supposed to go off and do instanced endgame content instead. but they keep adding more stuff to buy for gemstones (even tho it's just more orchestrion rolls).

says who?
considering you get tomes for doing stuff like levelling roulette, which is certainly not endgame (Sastasha on repeat).

[SkylineSenpai]

What if they gave like 5 of the current tomestone for gold completion at level cap?

JUST A THOUGHT, I still need to cap for the week because I'm lazy and I don't really feel like spamming dungeons at the moment.

this would be fun! better than run tube dungeons or arena raids!

[TaleraRistain]

fates were never meant for that. don't be lazy.

They weren't designed to give you currency for dropped crafting items either, but that was a brilliant and popular change with Shadowbringers.

yes that's fine - just not tomestones. make tomes too easy to get with fates, people won't do roulettes or other tome giving content.

People already dodge roulettes like the plague, myself included. If I'm seen in an expert that means my portal luck was TERRIBLE.

I also like how you say it'd make tomes "too easy to get" as if there's an actual difficulty to getting tomes. The hardest part for getting my weekly tomes is literally "Did we get portals and doors?" and "Does my expert not suck?" neither of which is difficulty by design, but by luck or just people not participating.
