The Future of FATEs

[The Stig]

If you're a tank/healer, no prob.

DPS you're still looking at 20-40 min queues, depending on the time zone.

[Scythiroth]

Having a tank or healer friend to level with definitely makes it much more bearable. DPS solo queues are almost always terrible in mmos.

[Shaano]

Don't forget to search for tanks in the level range of the dungeon you want XP from. You may get some god damn retards but still beats waiting around or making friends.

I'm not really seeing the problem here. It takes at most 30ish min to que for a dungeon as a single dps. I just do a few fates while I wait. People are complaining about this!??!?!?!?!

I just don't get it.

Unless you're levelling a DoH or DoL, may as well do leves as well while you wait.

Obviously standing there in Jeuno/Whitegate for hours waiting for a party was way more entertaining.

Everything was better when it was my first.

More like waiting days.

i dont mind waiting an hour. i got whm up to 50 via fate spam because couldnt find any groups for dungeons via df. i just wanted to vomit on fate grinding. the other big issue was the asshole community with speedruns when you were doing coerthas etc for the first time leaving you no time to enjoy the game. i guess the later one is still as it is. not that i dont mind clicking through cs and watch them later but the whole bitch attitude was too much when makeing mistakes on your first run without anyone telling you wtf is going on.

Well, they did increase the exp gained by dungeon mobs by a lot, to the point that people actually do dungeons, and you can definitely queue up for them and get in. Also, there is the daily roulette which puts you in a random dungeon and gives you literally half a level for completing the dungeon.

I've waited for two weeks on drk in whitegate days.

FATES future (now present) are ATMA, ATMA, and more ATMA. Oh and some Animus too. I hear this isn't as bad as FFXI but man, the ATMA grind was a gruelling 30 hrs for me and now myth farming and animus...I just don't have the time.
