if blue can cast doom, why dont roll blue...
thats just plainly stupid statement....

now with flying in arr... this event become more no fun at all

It's not really any different from past events that involved fate grinding. Personally, I didn't find it particularly fun before and I still don't now. The only reason I'm still doing this event is because obtaining the required medals is relatively fast, except for yours Shogunyan...dear lord that was rough. Either way, such is life when it comes to grinding fates. They seem heavily invested in this system so I don't see them going anywhere.

It's not really any different from past events that involved fate grinding.

Wouldn't even limit it to FATE grinding. This is true of basically all content day/week 1. Literally everything is chaotic at the start, full of players trying to rush through.

The lesson here is, if you don't enjoy the chaos, just wait until the chaos dies down. The event will be active for months. Come back next month when all the rushers have had their fill, and you'll find an entirely different landscape.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. You only have yourself to blame if you're tripping over everyone right out of the gate.

I won't say anything like this, I will say instead that maybe you should wait about 2 weeks before starting the event. We may like it or not, but players community tends to rush every single content we have here (and then whine after that they have nothing to do after being online for straight 48 hours without sleeping, but that's another topic). After initial hype falls down, there will be just few people running around doing the fates, and the closer it will be to 5.4, the lesser will be the amount (with another activity explosion right before new patch drops). Going into fates right now is equal to dooming yourself to see them being finished in 10 seconds. It's always like with every single event we have (and it was like this for 1st and 2nd Yokai-Watch runs as well), and I doubt there is anything we can change about it, because developers cannot change the way players consume the content without placing very hard restrictions like "playing 10 hours per day at max" and "can get only this amount of medals per day", which.... is a solution, but imagine the uproar if it ever happens, considering that people don't like weekly/daily restrictions as it is already.

Thinking you can solo Fate's during and event that requires players to farm them will just not happen. The event will go until 5.4 drops but you are not having it nearly as rough as players who can't yet fly in ARR zones.

The Yokai Watch event isn't the only thing in the game. In fact I skip the event every time it comes to FFXIV. There's so much other stuff that you could be doing you might as well forget the event is even a thing.

[Kuroka]

I say the same as i did in FC chat, there are 4 months or smt till the next patch hits MONTHS. If you decide to rush it now then its your choice... Its the same as on Hunt trains which go full speed atm and wont wait for anyone or anything - just do smt else and give it some weeks^^

[Hanayumi]

Wait about a week, event will die off, zerg will be gone, most will prolly move on into the ishgard stuff.

Honestly, if BLU were subject to the same conditions as every other class in the game regarding low level fates (cannot use certain abilities that is, or have them nerfed to level accurate) then it would be a bit more fun, but seeing BLU show up in low level zones using primal moves from lvl 60 primals and stuff from the lvl 60 dungeons, it seriously makes me want to change zones every time I see them because even though I'm running MCH for these fates, if they're too low and I can't access my AoE, then I'm automatically having to play catchup with a BLU that's spamming say the two Chimera abilities.

Hopefully it does die off soon, I'd neglected this event the past couple of times but want to get it sorted this time, and would rather have a decent chance at silver or better without having to worry about some group running a BLU zerging fates down before I can even get to them, even with flying.

lol of all the things you could have resubscribed for it was the YOKAI EVENT!! Did you seriously type that?!??!
