Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Tint]

What would be a huge improvement and what I still wish for? is a " Auto-Level-Sync Toggle Feature " so players don't need to constantly press Level-Sync when they enter a Fate. This would also improve any Future event or activity revolving around Fate farming.

Not automatic but you can write a macro and combine it with your mount.

/mount "Company Chocobo"
/levelsync

Let's you dismount and turns levelsync on. And when you are done you jump on your mount and can fly off.

Of course you can change the name to your favorite mount. Or don't add a name and then it just dismounts you.

Found this very usefull on console :O

This seems like a non-issue. You have 2 months, you can wait until most of the hardcore farmers are done. You will have plenty of maps to yourself across so many servers to choose from.

Are people so anti-social that they avoid joining parties? This is an MMO cmon, you dont even have to say anything. Just join a party, follow the group and get a few hits in.

Also a great time to level blu btw because players are frantically trying to learn the spells. This is one of the few times blu is actually useful so just let them have it.

Fates and open world combat are the only places a BLU can play outside of boring logs and carnivale. It's fun to play. Not all BLU's are giant jerks trying to suck up all the fun for everyone. I did the event as BLU because it's the only time I'll play it, for fates (events and to get my all elezen squadron). I would hydropull and stand there and still people would complain.

You're putting words into my mouth. I never said that people playing BLU are the bane of this world. I'm not pointing fingers at BLU players. Some are definitely here griefing (boo), some are not (props to you).

The only thing I wrote is that this problem has been introduced by SE and it makes the content inacessible for new players, at least until the whole thing quiets down after weeks/months, maybe. For instance fates and every boss in expansion areas are immune to most of BLU's cheese, yet in ARR it works. It was probably not a problem when Yokai was first introduced, but now it sure is a problem.

People still cry in HW chat zones when blu groups nuke every bosses in 1 flute opener.
Making things not Missile-able/Ultravibratable changes nothing, it just makes blus go into full max raid dps burst, if a group of people want to go fast they will find a way to go fast, everyone else needs to keep up or cry I suppose.
As for the "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?" all the sprouts we had in our parties thought it was cool the zones were extremely active and hectic and alive. They were also getting into every tag no problem.
I honestly can't wait to witness apocalyptical whining when the expansion comes out and hunts become the center of attention, "Please wait I'm congested! griefers!!!! obstructing my gameplay!!!!!"

You're conflating two different things. If it takes, let's say, 100 players to melt a hunt mob. That's fine because the damn might of the zone focused itself on one mob.

A single blue mage can end a FATE inside of 10 seconds.

That's the obstruction of gameplay. I couldn't care less about a combined effort nuking a mob. I'd be pissed if you couldn't, but one player shouldn't have that much power. Especially when an event is going on that they are specifically griefing. International or not. Which how can it not be International?
You'd have to be a mental gymnastic gold medalist to believe otherwise. They do it because of the power the job affords them. It literally is the Robert Caro quote I used the other day about power not corrupting, but revealing. These people were always selfish children. Playing Blue Mage in this way simply made their inside feelings manifest outside. They're human garbage, and now since I remembered, I can remove them from my game soon its time to take out the trash!

[Canadane]

one player shouldn't have that much power.

Every player has that much power.

[Ardeth]

Every player has that much power.

But only they abuse it. Also, no, I'd rather delete my account than sink to the level of these children. I may be rowdy bastard, but I have my ethics.

You've been confusing what griefing means from the start, of course blues nuking things is intentional and obviously people are doing it for their own personal (and their parties) gain, but there is zero maliciousness or pettiness involved in any of this, it's quite simply people trying to do it as fast as the game allows and this is what speed looks like.
Now you DO have the means to keep up with them, again blues cant teleport to fates and they don't fly faster, all it takes is 1 poke while in a party to get gold, or you could go somewhere else if for some insane reason you want to be without a party, but you would rather post on the forums instead of getting it done

Vibechecking the ARR boss fates can be malicious if you do it and people have asked you nicely to stop. At least give other people a chance to get credit IMO. BLU still does plenty of DPS without OHKing fates.

That's a slippery slope.

I'm only relaying what I've heard and witnessed from many sprouts. It's cool to hear that some of them get into parties that manage to take care of them, but the fact remains that a fate gets insta cleared and groups can't afford to dally or wait for their sprouts to tag something half of the time which often results in missed rewards. On top of it, sprouts by definition aren't exactly all knowledgeable and intricately aware of the game's social tools, don't necessarily know how to immediately go for or even find groups. When that's the thing they see when trying to do their little event quietly, they get confused, and then grow frustrated if nobody has any real answer to provide, or especially any party to provide as an alternative. You can bet next time the subject comes up I'll tell them to try and find farming groups like I've already done so far, but they will continue to face the issue either way either by ignorance or by a need to be carried (they do not have the tools to compete with BLU groups).

No matter on which side of the fence you stand, it's a problem which is primarily the responsibility of the developer.

You do realize if the BLU players leave the field after consuming the fates, more fates will spawn right? And they'll be gone so they won't be messing things up for you anymore?

It often seems to come to situations where the pace of fate completion (insta kill) greatly outpaces the pace of fate respawn, unfortunately.
