Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Imagine being called griefing for taking advantage what the game has provided legitimately to speed up their own grinding process. Very #GCBTW.

Maybe one day dev will 'fix' this. BLU already has so little contents where they can shine though.

It's not about taking advantage of what BLU has to offer, it's about denying other people to successfully participating in the games content. And then mocking the people who can't progress the event about it in the forums.

Yes, a very great community >.>

Are the people that can't participate in the game's content in the room with us right now?
The only case of this I can think of is sprouts that haven't unlocked flying yet, but I don't hear many sprouts complaining about it.

Each minion has 3 zones you can use to get the legendary medals (6! for HW/SB minions), if there are a lot of BLU mages in one zone you can move to a different zone that probably has less traffic. This is not to even mention the solutions proposed in the OP.
The overworld for once feels alive, but all some people want to do is complain about it.

Regarding BLU in zones, I even tried hopping to the three different areas, all had multi blu parties that would wipe. All three zones were exactly the same. People are like oh use your stance (note some of these fates are below the level of tank enmity stance, such as level 3 and war's is a level 10 skill). No parties listed in party finder so "join up with them" didn't work in this instance. Hell sometimes it was different blu parties trying to pull all the mobs away from the other (one was hydro pull, 2nd blu ram's voice, 3rd blu ultravibration). I gave up after 3 fates in a row where I arrived at the same time and got nothing. Maybe lag was involved, I dunno but I'd hit an aoe attack as they spawned and it wouldn't even register, the mobs would just fly over to the blu, frozen immediately, and they pretty much died at the same time as they registered their frozen graphic.

All the stuff that's being perceived as "anti-blu" really seems to be asking for some courtesy to others playing the game with you. Personally I was hoping to be able to spread out doing all the collecting over time, like get a weapon or two one day, etc over the course of the event and leave more of my time for doing everything else. Now it seems I have to either time when I play to no on being around and take forever to complete them alone or wait til later in the event and then have to worry about doing them all at once when most people aren't doing them which likely affects their spawn times, completion times etc.

Oh and if you do get to a fate before a the blu train gets there, the difficulty is dialed up to a point where they'll finish a different fate on the other side of the zone and come to yours with enough time for them to complete with gold.

I have BLU at 80 already myself, but playing that as well would be me having to try to time it so my ultravibe killed their hydropull and freeze before their own does, making it worse for anyone who isn't in a blu party. And seriously ultravibing a level 3 fate.... come on.

[...]it's about denying other people to successfully participating in the games content[...]

We won't (ever) know their real intent, that was my point. Of all things, they could be just trying to get their items ASAP then get out, never touching 'em anymore. And then, what? Do these BLUs even stick around longer than necessary to make it harder for the rest of community?

Maybe one of these days I'll zone in as BLU myself to spam Snort and Sticky Tongue to prolong FATEs lmfao.

[DracotheDragon]

Unless a blue mage turns and goes "mwehehe I'm griefing you" they are just blue mages doing overworld content as the limited job was designed to do.

what I would reccomend is to either wait until the initial rush dies down (the yokai event runs until 7.0) or to move to a quieter datacentre, if you have the option play during non peak hours as well and you'll find it to be easier.

[StouterTaru]

When there are multiple people doing FATEs in the zone, you're gonna have a rough time getting full credit solo unless you're in tank stance spamming AoE

At least on my server, which does move to "congested" status on and off, I was able to farm up 7 weapons last night, 2 mounts, all the minions, and getting MGP put together for the framers kit. I plan on finishing the rest of the weapons over this weekend over the course of 1 more play session (I think that is more then doable at the rate I am going).

I played as both SMN and DRG, my friend played as BLM. They had a tougher time because of long cast times, but even they were able to get a good amount of farming in.

Yes, some BLU mages will one hit kill boss FATES, but overall it was a great experience. Plenty of FATES to go around and plenty of people to interact with/mounts/glamour's to see.


Not saying that everyone has the same experience as me, but from how I have viewed it and experienced things so far, I wouldn't say this is a bad time at all. In fact, I wish more events were like this and had players actually out in the world/around each other more often.

I decided to level my blu before farming the fates for the event because honestly one shooting fates and then getting yelled at sounds fun, so I went to farm level 50 fates (my blu is 50 and doesn't have those one shotty spells yet) without realizing those were amongst the fates needed for the event so there were a whole group farming the fates and it turns out that nobody was one shotting everything? Even the few blu mages who were present. So I got my watch out, got a bunch of medals and unlocked a few minions.

Mayhap the good people on the forums are simply exaggerating about the whole issue? But surely that can't be, it seems so out of character for people to make mountains out of molehills around here.

Of course they are, I did all weapons in a single day on the 24th right during the height of the rush and I saw maybe 2 ultravibrations one shot bosses out of 300 fates or more.
Missile one shots were also very rare, nobody wants to sit there hitting a damage sponge when they need to clear hundreds of fates so everyone expects missile use out of the blues to thin the hp pool down a bit, only rarely will many blues accidentally synchronize their missiles and accidentally 1 shot the boss when they all connect at the same time. Even then plenty of time to tag and get credit in a party as long as you are paying attention.

They are just angry the blus are not playing by their slowpoke rules and can easily solo any fate without help.
