FATE Joined? Not really, fooled you again!

[SamSmoot]

Once again, I see a bunch of players trying to kill some giant mob, with the "FATE Joined" banner. I land, target, start hitting keys, and after a few seconds, realize I'm not doing anything because I forgot to sync.

Please, make it so when we target a FATE mob, just sync us automatically, instead of requiring a separate action.

I've done that plenty of times myself, so I feel the pain, but I feel like I run through FATE circles quite often when I'm just trying to get somewhere else. It would get a bit annoying having your HP/MP drop instantly just because you didn't run around the outskirts of the FATE.

When I'm in FATE mode, I just use a quick macro - /levelsync on - and bind it to an easy key to hit. With that said, I'd be down if this was an option you could toggle in your settings.

There's already a keybind for this.

Oh, nice! Had no idea.

Yeah, they gave it an irrelevant sounding name.

Use this macro for your mount and unmounting.

/micon "Company Chocobo" mount
/mount "Company Chocobo"
/levelsync on

Just replace "Company Chocobo" with the name of the mount you wish to use. You can also just put "Mount Roulette" if you want to do a random mount.

Thanks, this works, except for the error messages. I wish we had macro conditionals, so the levelsync could be only executed while in a FATE..

Just add /merror off at the start

Ugh please no. It's bad enough having a giant FATE JOINED plastered in the center of the screen the last thing I want to do is to get auto-sync'd if a FATE overlaps a quest or hunt objective.

For the most part I find FATEs just not worth the bother. The xp is awful (about 25% of what it should be). If the FATE is busy trying to get credit on anything other than a tank is an exercise in frustration as is trying to join/form an ad-hoc group on the fly. Many of them get stupidly grindy if the zone population spikes.

I want an option I can toggle to completely disable all FATE related notifications and disable their UI from showing in the quest tracker. If only we could write our own addons.

Just play a healer; tag a mob and spam single target heals on yourself 5 or 7 times and when that mob is dead fly to the next fate and do the same. Gold rank every time as Fate ranking is based on enmity generated. Better yet if you play Blue and use White Wind once and Pom Cure once to overheal yourself for massive enmity.

Edit: That's only viable on jobs with on demand self heals though. Better off queuing for dungeons as a DPS for exp. But for grinding those shared fate things just do the above.
