that one is rough, yeah.Apperently Prey Online (the achievement fate you get the Ultima Horns from) is not immune to the spells it should be, and a recent spawn on my server caused over half the people there in parties not with BLUs to get literally nothing. There are other achievement fates that also don't have the immunity but they spawn pretty frequently to not worry about it (See: the one in Central Highlands you get the minion from)but this one spawns so rarely I find it kind of a slap in the face to any new players wanting the achievement or horns for glamour.
Otherwise I don't have too much of a problem with BLUs at the fates, usually if you use a class with fast aoe and are in a party you can get a gold.
This is my first "Yokai Watch" event so feel free to correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that you have to get a "silver" or "gold" rating to even have the chance of the legendary medals dropping.
I understand BLU is a limited job and there are a lot that they are not allowed to do and because of that, it makes the job frustrating.
Having said that I can only think of a couple possible solutions.
1) Make it so Blue mages don't get any yokai medals from the event, (worst case scenario for BLU and it might breed more toxicity)
2) If they could "temporarily" have the specific one or two shot abilities tweaked a bit during the FATES not saying a major tweak just a little one, so that everyone blue mages included will be able to participate enough and not want to pull their hair out trying to make it to the FATE before it's over, this way everyone can get their medals.
Now I'm not saying outside of the FATES those abilities could be weakened just the FATES and just during the event.Though I am not sure if that is possible from a developer stand point.
3) Last idea (though pretty ridiculous) that wouldn't nerf the Blue mage class is to let everyone start blue mage at 60 upon finishing it's intro quest.
You would still have to learn spells from certain dungeon enemies but at 60 you could probably do some of them solo unsynched.
Problem with this idea is with so many Blue mages, finding active FATES would be almost impossible and it seems like it might be a slap in the face to players that went through the trouble of grinding from 1 to 60 and filling up their spell book.
Anyway this is all I can think of right now for ideas, if anyone has suggestions where everyone can walk away happy and be able to participate in the event, that would be awesome, but looking at this realistically I am not sure if that is possible.
