Zone pop bug

[Breakbeat]

I hear what you're saying, but that's not a bug.

Some FATEs are meant to be solo-able, and some require a group. Kudos for getting a group FATE down to 25%, but SE intends for you to conquer those with a friend (party finder, zone shout, etc.)

FATEs they intend for you to be able to solo are generally the ones where an NPC wants you to collect items from the immediate area, or ones where there are groups of mobs that you pick off for 5% of the progress bar each, or the ones where you have to escort an NPC some distance and fight small groups of mobs along the way.

FATEs with a single, named mob, or FATEs that have a named mob in the description are meant to be completed by more than one player. Is it impossible for one player? No. But unless you're quite well geared and have the skill to match, you can't just walk into these and have them fall down, like the others.

The map even has different icons for the escort and collection FATEs, the 'small mob' FATEs, and the 'big mob' FATEs. You can use those markers to your advantage; either skip the 'big mob' FATEs, or prepare in advance before you travel to them.

Seeing as you got a 'big mob' FATE down to 25% by yourself, one more person ought to do it for you.
