Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[PastaFarian]

They're ignoring FATE objectives and purposely failing it to not only get it to reappear soon (failed FATEs do have a chance of respawning faster), but because they can kill an endless supply of mobs in a corner. That screams "not intended" so loudly its not even funny.

There was a similar exploit that got nerfed in 1.0 involving purposely failing leves, so this being dealt with is not that far outside the realm of possibilities.

Are you saying that killing the other mobs is -not- part of the fate? Funny that they exist then....

Purposely failing? That's a new one. I've done this quite a few times and it was usually stalled until the 2 minute mark, but NEVER failed on purpose. If that is really the case I agree that it would be "not intended", but that's a problem with every leve, not just this one..

If it were intentional the situation would exist in other places in the game, which it doesn't

Intentional or not, this does happen on other leves throughout the world.

How is this an exploit for a Lv49 FATE, when the level cap is Lv50?

Because to start with, you don't need to be level 49 to do it, you could be level 44 or something and still be raking in the exp.

Except you get a big exp/seal penalty for being below the actual fate level.

Nothing that will make you not want to do it though, people are doing this for the mob exp not just the reward from the fate, hence the point of the thread.

I dont think its an exploit. The mobs people farm are intentionally placed seperate to the Lambs, and they dont contribute toward completion. I guess it sounds kind of bad describing it but, it's not a bug, people are playing by the rules and are choosing to advance this way. It's just like in FFXI with abyssea XP alliances, I highly doubt abyssea was designed around that, but players used it and it wasnt against the rules.

The issue with AK speed runs is that people were skipping the majority of the dungeon, nobody's skipping killing the target enemies to complete this fate, they're just choosing to wait until the timer is nearly up to do so.

op is jelly he isnt 50 and his bad groups cant get him 200k xp on phase 1

leveling is not fast enough, fates should not be the only way to level a 2nd class but they are since the devs kept claiming you could level with guildhests but...you cant
