Dark Devices - Phase 1 Exploit

[Haredin-Hunter]

I dislike it because it creates a bad attitude towards things with timers, I got black listed by a guy complaining about turning in the gather fates because I wanted to get my experience then and not struggle to try and get a few hits in while the zerg of dps destroys everything. Granted he did it to try and fuck me over in an attempt to save the server by limiting the parties I could get into and make my que time longer. Guess he didn't realize I was a tank, I just didn't see it being worth my time.

I have a dream, that one day people will know what an exploit is.

Lol, I knew it wouldn't take long to see this topic. *pfft* "Exploit"

A lot of fates have this mechanic. Its just more people know where the noncompletion mobs spawn.

oh look, another whine thread.


better hurry up and ruin everyone else's fun, right OP!?

It is actually for people to have a easier time to get Gold medal.

Stage 1 of this fight can be completed easily with only 2 people within a minute. With over 30 people in that one fate only about 1 to 8 will get Gold while the others will only get Bronze and silver for maybe a lucky 1 to 4 people.

Prepare for unprecedented amounts of harassment from people exploiting this if you do that.

The amount of people trying to justify this is astounding. There's very little integrity left on these forums I think.

You're honestly telling me that the developers intended for one step of a four-step fate chain that awards around 6600 XP on completion to yield more XP by farming mobs than it does to complete the entirety of the chain (45,000 XP or so IIRC)? You really believe that this one fate is supposed to be worth 245,000 XP (assuming gold all the way and a good farming group) while every other fate in the game at this level is 12,000-22,000 XP? Get real.

You sound like the people who tried to justify the L:50 dungeon speed runs. I don't care if this FATE gives me easy XP, it's obviously broken. They need to make all fate mobs give a lot less or no XP and instead increase the XP completion rewards, along with significantly increasing leve and dungeon XP, but that's another issue for another thread.

I had a conversation with someone on my server about this a few days ago. He told me about a conversation he had with a GM related to this and they said it wasn't intended to be done this way and that in the future this, and all other fates similar to it would be adjusted. I love that it helps me get those last few levels quickly, but if it wasn't intended to be that way it's hard to be annoyed when it's changed.
