Boss FATEs please dynamically adjust

[Shougun]

Join a data center wide hunt Discord. Players also relay achievement FATEs there and you'll usually get a decent number of players showing up to help clear it.

For Crystal: Crystal's The Pursuit Hunts https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh
For all data centers: Centurio Hunts (FFXIV) https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv
There's also faloop.app that will relay the major FATEs. They have data center specific discords with links that can be found on their website.

If you're not a Discord user, try to find an active cross world hunt linkshell with room. They will sometimes spread relays there as well though most of the time it's limited to the major achievement FATEs that reward tokens and not the lesser achievement FATEs.

A lot of times I'll stumble across an achievement FATE when I'm leveling an alt or out doing hunt related stuff. I'll relay then stick around to help. It's very rare that not enough players show up unless the FATE has less than 10 minutes at the time I find it (and I don't bother to relay if it's less than 6 unless it's one that's quick and easy to clear). There are a lot of players looking to get their achievements and special items from those FATEs.

Have tried this before to no such luck, though I do believe you that it has also worked out well.

IMO it's not a very organic form of play so even if it worked okay I wouldn't, personally, view it as a great solution; however, I would also admit that if it functions regularly it might be a good solution to other types of players. To me that sounds bothersome (and as said inorganic- to me), I'd prefer shouting in the zone once, waiting a bit, and then going with whatever was available (which in my experience is 1 to 2 people tops, and a painfully slow kill).

I would prefer if the system therefore did not require this, as I personally do not think anything should really require third party tools (I do have a LS for hunts). Nor do I think letting the thing reset and hoping it comes background during a limited play session is a good solution either.

Naturally for this situation I am not looking to work /with/ the system, I am hoping the system itself adjusts. Though I do, honestly, appreciate people trying to come up with those solutions- especially as there could be a chance I didn't think of or try them (in this case I am aware of failing causes them to become weaker, I just think that is a silly solution, and I did try yours and I believe circumstantially it might work out well.. I just don't think that either is what I'd be hoping for).

To me unless it's a world boss with the benefits of being a world boss that justifies consistent people presence (like Odin type stuff), that they should all be fairly dynamic in so much that they're fun to do with whatever the zone has available to do them with.

Some of this also coming from a recent sprint of GW2 playing as a local here suggested trying it, and I feel their systems regularly are approachable regardless of # and in the situations where it seems clear you should have more players they've done a better job ensuring players are interested in doing said content. So, in a sort of recap- in this situation I am not trying to work with the system.. I want the system to be, imo, better. As I feel I have seen better, in essence..

Though as I said, I do see the effort in solution you've given to me as genuine value and I do believe it might work on occasion.. I just don't think it should be like that (if they're world bosses then it makes, but their value demands consistent and relatively easy attendance.. their existence and welcoming cards almost self propagates itself).

You'll have to make more of stink about it, because it hasn't been that big of a problem that needs addressing over the years and I don't really see a whole lot of other posts about this subject. This is just more about you being inconvenienced more than anything I would guess. In which case, I would suggest you just do what I suggested and leave it at that, because the devs are content to leave the FATE system as is.

Do you speak for the devs? Have you not seen them bother with things that seem to only affect a few? Does not seem you added much to the conversation with this post except speak for someone you shouldn't be.
