Yo-Kai Event: BLU Major Griefing Problem

[Mouthbone]

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.

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.

[...]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.

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.

If they nerf blue again ya'll gonna regret it once Yokai is over and you need to solo fates for some old relic or whatever, lol.

I agree with this actually BUT they could make the watch unequippable by Blue and that would not be an overall nerf to blue in the game.

[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

This wouldn't even solve the issue, you would need to ban BLU from summoning minions to stop people from using it.

CBU3 could rebalance the fates so that they don't die as easily, but it's clearly not a priority for them.
The game simply wasn't designed to account for so many people doing overworld content, so the only thing you can do is try the existing solutions or wait for the crowds to die down.

As I said earlier I used one of the solutions I went to the deadest server on Materia to get my 49 tokens and called the event done there (I didn't want the weapons or mounts). Even during off peek hours for the server I was fighting blues but at least I managed it. It took hours and left me exhausted and angry. Now that solution might work better in a couple weeks but now not so much.

For me though event done I am not grinding out the other stuff for weapons and mounts I don't like and won't ever use.

Legitimate question. If grinding this took hours and left you exhausted and angry, isn't some of that on you for trying to get this done instead of doing it over time since it will be around for a few months? It seems really odd to me to complain about something that was totally in your control to not grind it out in the very beginning and instead possibly do a little bit over time.

*runs in*

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.

Dynamis has been worse than expected with this. I swear I only get credit for one out of every 15 or so fates I try because the server is just swarmed with BLU who have the traveler tag.
It's infuriating.
