FATE farming - only two zones worth it, make it six

[Eisi]

But you are scaled down to the top level for that FATE. So, if its an 81 fate, you are scaled to... 84? 85? You still have an "advantage" over an 81 doing that same fate and can clear them quicker, than an 81.

I don't care about the advantage over other players. I do have a gigantic advantage over new players in Elpis and Ultima Thule, but that's not the point. The point is that those are the only zones worth farming for me and most other players. The other zones are done to unlock the rewards and then never again after that. I think it's important to design with a bit of variety in mind.

Why should fates be even more brain dead than they already are? It's also annoying if a lower level is doing them and everything dies before they can even reach the location because someone else doing them is insanely OP. TBH I was doing fates on Garlemald on a lvl 90 recently and I found that things were dying pretty fast. Maybe it's the 100+ possible iLvl difference in lvl 90 fates that makes no sense and the max iLvl should be nerfed.

Yeah maybe, but that will unfortunately not make FATEs any more thrilling, just more tedious. FATEs are fundamentally designed to be easy.

Let's remember that all that I'm asking is to change the scaling of players to be the same as it is in UT and Elpis. A flat minus modifier will account for the relatively easier (it's not much folks) difficulty of the earlier zone enemies.

They're also designed to be tedious.

I think they're pretty fun if you do them while you're waiting for other content to pop. And for learning a class in a safe but still at least kinda chaotic environment. But they're not prime content.

Still the only zones where I actively see people farming them are obviously UT and Elpis and even there it ain't many.

You can get a Vivre tho! Which is a pretty cool and fitting mount for Dawntrail.

Garlemald is a fun FATE zone because it has the most amount of single-target FATEs (the only fun FATEs imo)

The lower level side of the first two zones (Thavnair, Labyrinthos) can be interesting because the enemies are low enough to be one-shot by BLU's ultravibration.
