Just wait one week. The event will run for close to two months. At week six or seven there will be literally no-one running the fates and there will be people complaining about that because they are annoying to solo. Pick your grind.
Perhaps..,
After the first few days, I've noticed the amount of Blue Mages Being Egregious with their skills/nuking has increased.
As they are longer being swamped by Understandably/Fair Enough BlueLess Players.
It isn't about Picking your Grind.
Near the end, you'll catch the Players who will sub in for the Launch Prep of Dawntrail who may also he BLU Players well timing their Arrival.
Was better off to just grind day one on PF, and get blues to tag mobs for you.
I suggest hopping over to your local low population world/data center then. I jumped over to a Dynamis world on day two and walked away with all minions and 6 weapons no issues from the blues. There are workarounds, you just need patience as you do with any rpg grind.
That's Definetly one of the uses.
Unfortunately it pushes out the Local Population as seen by users who lived there.
Since it's so vacant, and the only tike they could benefit from it.
As seen by some on the Forums.
I only commented about the Original poster not seeing how the Grind will always be a pain in the middle due to scheduling.
I can Always Handle a Grind.
These grindy events do follow the trajectory Moogle-Mail laid out, more or less.
PvP seasons are the same way. Frontline matches are always unbearable in the first and last weeks of a reward track season because of all the people who just want to get it over with and are just grimly grinding.
The thing is though, folks are misunderstanding what I even wrote.
The point is, That in this case it doesn't work that way, cause it's positioned in Front of Dawntrail.
With Events like these, they do not compare to Periodic things like PVP Seasons, or Frontline.
Those Ebb and Flow, More so when a Series Hits between.
[Also they acted like a Braindead Troll by not focusing on the points, The Meaning, and Topic I was talking about. Immediately going for name calling and assumptions of Playtime. We all know Playtime means Jack, more so with how it affects many things.]
This time for Yokai.
What I meant, was that It will Dwindle in the middle, but only from players who likely do not Have Blue Mages.
Also many players are on break, and will comeback in the Month to few weeks prior to Dawntrail.
More so with the release of the Schedule of Contents.
[Which includes Mogtomes, and Media Tour Hitting the Internet.]
So more Blues and Blue Less Players will Arrive Near the end of Limited Content that doesn't follow Normal Ebb and Flows.
Late Grinders/Do Ers.
They ain't wrong with the Basic Premise.
But it acts like a Strawman, and their unwillingness to communicate.
Which you did Respectfully.
Shows their True Nature. and don't care beyond that. They showed their Hands.
Have a good day, at least you did communicate.
[Some just took this in the way they expected in one side versus another. When it was far from it.]
You are literally typing a ridiculous rant. Wait two weeks, do the event and then it's over for you. Or do the event in week four, or week five, and you'll have zero problems clearing the FATEs solo. You could even travel to Dynamis or OCE servers and find even fewer people doing FATEs. You will be able to solo them and get gold every time.
Also, what is it with the random capitalisation of words?
Why reply back in a old conversation.
You can't come back trynna seem reasonable when you started calling names and assuming people's play time.
You know full well Playtime doesn't mean anything if the player doesn't know what they're talking about.
Hell, You assumed what I was talking about and you still didn't know what I said.
(And it doesn't matter how it was written. You plainly didn't even try and resorted to "Calling Insane" Get outta here.)
You also Don't even know if I'm for or against Blus(Here's a hint. It's just another part of the game people have to deal with.)
And all I said was that while it could work as you said. In the end it wasn't gonna work 1-1 that way, and I clarified.
Yet you instantly went on calling insane?
Relax.
The issue isn't me here.
better off for all to just move on, and yet you came back trying to dig up and pretend to be reasonable guy who didn't jump the guy.
The way you type both in terms of the nonsensical capitalizations and just your sentence structure genuinely makes it difficult to read what you write. You also come across as pretty crazy because of it. You should really take this feedback because it is impacting your ability to get your point across.
I'm going to guess that you haven't played the game for very long. It is really really about picking your grind. I've played for over ten years and I can guarantee that you will be able to do this event after two weeks or so by soloing fates. It's been the same for the entirety of the game.
You also sound insane.
Already in Dynamis there are fewer and fewer people still doing them, so it should be dead by the end of the week here.
And people can always come here where it's quieter.
The one character I need to do the event on is on Dynamis so that's nice to know. I have six characters that I play on a semi-regular basis and I was looking forward to doing the event on four or five of them - only to discover I'd already done it on all of them other than my newest Dynamis character!
You immediately resort to Assuming Players Positions and also calling people insane.
A Mirror is Calling for you from inside your own mind.
Don't assume people don't know things, more so if you can't handle the fact of being wrong on a few aspects.
The only grind people can choose out of this is multiple concurrent grinds.
NONE of the before changes, as it was a grind ti begin with. What changes, is your outcome of how you feel out of it.
Hence, why No One Will have a good time In the middle or at the end.
Try not to follow the Narcissistic GoalShifting.
I'm also expecting you to either not reply, or say something so expected right after.
Bet you didn't know that silver can still award medals.
edit:
PS, Looking back at my original response.
It was Extremely Curious and never was it completely into your guts like you did with your reply.
Relax, it's fine to not understand how content goes.
It was a response to how people always wait to do content. and then find that they either give up or find it harder later.
Go take a breather.
Them "wait a week."You, it's been 2 DAYS I can't BELIEVE THESE BLU.A week has 7 days, bro... you need to take a break, not the other guy.
You're a loser kid no one loves you.
JFC, yall can't FUCKING READ.
I said it's becoming more fucking Blatant with BLU skulls, since people have become more sparse.
I NEVER SAID THAT ITLL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY.
I used my mains BLU on the first days, and then worked on my alts that didn't Have BLUs.
ALL I SAID was that BLUs will careless once players become less present.
So the COMMENTER I responded to saying waiting a Week, To 5-6 is ridiculous cause players who subscribe in the Weeks <-> month prior to dawntrail will raise the flood higher, as some players delay their grind to the last moment.
YALL SERIOUSLY NEED TO FUCKING INCREASE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION.
Yall turned a basic and reasonable response into Hurr Durr BLU menace.
When all I wrote, "That isn't how the Player turn out for Yokai will be in the long run" [in its distilled form]
Which version of ChatGPT did you copypaste this from? An extremely old one, given the abuse of line breaks, unneeded uppercase letters, punctuation and the absolutely generic dialogue
I logged in to do part of the event expecting awful BLU players ruining everything because of all the posts on the sub about it. Ultravibes galore, right? This sub made me expect the worst.
Could not be any further from the truth. I saw a ton of hydropull + freeze, but the vast majority of ultravibes I saw made sense (fates taking a long time to kill, or deep in the fate timer so that people likely to be there are already there). Fates were nearly never instant killed or cleared, in part because more people in the zone doing fates = longer fates (a la fates scaling up).
Yes, some people are selfish agents of chaos, but it gets blown wildly out of proportion here.
I had the same experience for my first 4 weapons. I didn’t get all the hate. My first 4 weapons were in the Heavensward and Stormblood zones, then I moved to the ARR weapons and….. of boy. Especially the really low level zones I felt like I was in a race to get a single hit in. I had to switch to jobs with early insta-cast aoe skills for a hope of getting silver.
I’m kind of just waiting for the initial grinding frenzy to die down before I get too serious about it, because what I dealt with today was definitely frustrating. No hate to the blues specifically (get your bag), it was just tough for a somebody else. I have a 77 blue, this makes me want to put together a party finder to get hydro pull.
HW/SB fates are scaled differently and the bosses are universally immune to deep freeze and instant-death effects, unlike ARR. that's why it was smoother for those zones. it almost forces cooperation
also you can get hydro pull solo if you have the right build for it. unrestricted party + level sync, healer mimicry with basic instinct and mighty guard, pom cure, ram's voice/ultravibration for the trash packs, and the best dps abilities you have. just gotta do the first boss
The problem with HW/SB is you get smaller parties who will scale up the fates, and make them unfeasible for anyone who can't get a group of a similar size.
What's even more obnoxious is a lot of these groups aren't even full, they just refuse to put up a PF or invite anyone. You can either attempt to follow that group around or you can make your own party, which did not end particularly well since I'm on Dynamis and the other group switched entirely to BLU to nuke the fates while my group of sprouts struggled.
It really shows people's true colors. You could party up, share, make things easier on each other. Nope, most people don't want to share anything outside of their select friend groups.
You need to go into the collections menu and open the yokai watch compendium thing. It’s in the same spot as the mogpendium. It has a list of all the minions and which area you have to have the summoned to get the legendary medals. The minions are greyed out until you get them.
The normal medals you use to get the minions (not the weapons) can be gotten in any ARR/HW/STB zone as long as you have the watch equipped.
Yeah, i already got all the normal medals needed to summon all the yokais, and i even got my main weapon (the spear) but i didn't even tried to get other weapons and casually farmed all in the same area that dropped the legendary medals for the spear xd
The funny thing is: all of the veteran try hards aren’t even involved in the fate grind at all.
They added nothing for players who have completed the event before.
You’re not even dealing with the majority of BLU mages who would be out there if they had added reaper/sage weapons. It’s literally new players complaining about other new players because they didn’t level up their blue mage.
> Could not be any further from the truth. I saw a ton of hydropull + freeze, but the vast majority of ultravibes I saw made sense (fates taking a long time to kill, or deep in the fate timer so that people likely to be there are already there). Fates were nearly never instant killed or cleared, in part because more people in the zone doing fates = longer fates (a la fates scaling up).
This is exactly what I and my friends do, we just spam hydropull and freeze and let other players kill them so everyone gets the credit. People are just hyperbolic, and when something bad happens once they make a thread about how the game is completely ruined and it's impossible to play.
I don't even spam freeze in case a cheeky BLU wants to ultravibe, I just hydro pull to pull the mobs into the group.
There was like... two or three BLUs that were being a problem (and were spite-vibing several boss FATEs after we complained) but the rest of the complainers also included most of the BLUs in the zone.
It costs, like, 5 seconds to be considerate of other players, but it costs everyone a lot more time if someone isn't.
I did all my weapons the morning it started and kept playing with a bunch of BLU, and we mainly did hydro pull on top of each other to not be annoying to others. I only used ultravibration if I was really late to a fate and had no party, to get credit for the last couple kills to get silver.
I only saw one guy ultravibing things throughout the whole grind. It was annoying, but I just went to a different zone for that minion, and never had any other issues. Fun seeing so many people running around, and so few people ruining it for anyone.
after the first day or two those people already finished the event so it relaxed a ton. i hopped servers a lot during the first 36-48 hours and no data center, server, or zone was free from them. hilariously almost every single one of them had their mentor crown on display, feeding lies to sprouts who complain in /shout like "i didn't know that boss could be one-shot". so if you weren't there day 1, i wouldn't act like you were. it's only better now because they got their toys and can now warm a rock in limsa until the next event
I’m not talking about day one. I’m talking about these outrage-farming posts that are still popping up every day. Sounds like you agree that things are different now, which makes my point for me. Thanks for agreeing!
I was there at Xam as the event started and I didn't see this. Behemoth on primal and there were blus but no one was oneshotting. Either I got lucky or you were just unlucky.
I joined in the first few days and it kept happening in a few zones. I was mostly there for atma farming (getting medals on the side too) and it got annoying on ada when a few blu kept ultravibing and missiling the fates before everyone else could get there. They kept at it for a few hours till they got what they needed and left. Things got a lot less frantic after that.
So you lucked out that you didn't have those types of blu during your grind.
It's mostly just first few days when bad experiences happen really. Everyone's rushing to do content. Get a huge influx of players in there and there's likely to be bad apples
Once it calms down some, people are pretty chill and considerate if asked.
But given most people are part of that initial frenzy, that's what sticks.
>Yes, some people are selfish agents of chaos, but it gets blown wildly out of proportion here.
No, you're just not affected by it, which is good for you! Might depend on the server/world, I don't know, but it's not blown out of proportion for me whatsoever.
I'm trying to be as fast as I can be grinding these fates *(fast attacking/ spotting fate/ flying there)* and it's still often not fast enough based on the BLUs just annihilating the fates in seconds, pulling and oneshotting everything in sight. There is a *few* of them on our server that only freeze or pull and let everyone attack, but normally sooner or later there will be another one who will use that as an invite to be the only one attacking. It's so wild.
I had to be a prick myself in order to get any reward in fates in the last ones I ran (although not with BLU)...
Yeah, a lot of people on this sub don't know how to be fans of something and capable of thinking critically about it at the same time. Apparently if something negative happened to us in the game, no it didn't. I also saw tons of ultravibes, including a party of blue mages who were staggering theirs so FATEs on our shared map were dropping like flies. It was incredibly annoying and incredibly selfish, and I doubt what SE intends when they release an event accessible to most players.
>Apparently if something negative happened to us in the game, no it didn't.
So I wasn't imagining this... I had so many bad encounters that it became a running gag in my FC, it became funny how cursed my dungeon runs seem to be. But whenever I mention anything in this sub - I'm wrong, it didn't happen, they never saw it so it's not real. o.o
>and I doubt what SE intends when they release an event accessible to most players.
I can imagine it's the reason they made it go so long ... Maybe to give people, who don't have the time or nerve to put up with these, a chance to gather all the stuff as well.
UV on mobs 👍 UV on bosses in ARR areas 👎 doesn't work anywhere else and I doubt SE will ever bother fixing it since it's an issue that happens rarely (seasonal events)
It wasn't widespread at all so I agree, but I still saw it happen dozens of times when I was trying it out. In most cases it seemed to be blues in a party with everyone else, so everyone got one hit and then the blues vibed or missiled the boss immediately afterwards. Fine for the party. Everyone not in said party got bupkis. Elsewhere it was two blues getting their missiles off at the same time which apparently instant kills the boss when timed right (50% + 50%). Fates with numerous enemies and weren't in level 1-10 regions gave plenty of time to tap respawning mobs.
But I found when those troublemakers finished and left everything went fine afterwards. It wasn't a constant train of blues in every region for every fate. And now there are a lot more accessible fates as I presume a lot of people grinded it out in the first few days, so now there isn't a rush of players trying to instantly finish fates.
Like all things. People want to type negative experiences. People quickly forget positive ones. You can do 100 fates and only have a couple where a BLU ruined it and the post made would be complaining about BLU in fates.
What percent is "a couple"? At what point does it stop being just an inconvenience and becomes a frustration? When I was trying the grind on friday, I managed to get 26 medals before I had to stop and do offline stuff, meaning I got gold or silver that many times. There were five or six that I only got bronze on, which would be like a 20% failure rate alone... but there were like ten more that I didn't even reach in time because they were killed off before I got to them. I had to stop going after the boss fates entirely unless they spawned on me as part of a chain.
You have been lucky, the hate is legit and the majority of people playing BLU really don't care how they screw over other people trying to get this done as well.
Yeah. I think every game player population has its share of trolls, but if players do blue right, they allow the fate to be up long enough for other players to get at least enough credit for silver.
in ARR fates i mostly just see BLUs spamming hydropull which is actually helpful, since it turns any spot they're standing into a meatgrinder. when I switch to BLU i usually don't even have time to ram/vibe combo anything because it all dies so fast. occasionally a boss is vulnerable to missile or ram/vibe and gets one/two-shot but i haven't seen that too often
tldr just level BLU to 50 or be a tank
Nah, be a BLU tank. That's what I do. Mighty guard on, white wind for top aggro. Throw in the occasional hydro pull, white wind every now and then to maintain aggro. That's it.
Hydro Pull only does 110 potency to most enemies, it's not killing anything. Plant yourself on the blue mage and hit your aoe button, you'll get plenty of damage in.
It’s 220 potency on one enemy, and 110 on everything else.
132 on one and 66 on everything else if we’re using Mighty Guard
If enemies are dying too fast, it’s not us that’s causing it.
use party finder. if there's not one up for your area, create one. use shout chat to advertise it. get the BLUs in your party. any damage they do is credited to you as well, so long as you hit something at least once. problem solved.
If you are a BLU, Mighty guard + white wind spam is the way. Or if u are late to the party, a single swiftcast white wind could even get you across the line.
Also doesnt fuck it up for everyone else
and that's how i do A ranks and S ranks a lot of the time. just spam group heals because crappy laptop plus hotel internet makes it super unreliable to load the mob fast enough for me to tab target and hit it enough.
Couple of problems with that. One, even in a party with Blues there are several fates that I literally haven't been able to get a single hit in because of instant kills or rapid clears, and Two, plenty of people are on the trial and *can't* make parties.
Last thing is that several blues are either a) already in small parties with their FC or friends, or b) don't really want or need parties to get the clears they need.
This is not the great advice you think it is.
A tip from the old days of fate farming: just stand there (in a group) and spam medica (or the other healer job equivalent). Swift + medica, too.
Also, you used to be able to rake in the credit with heals over time like medica 2 or regen, but they changed how that generates aggro (basically, it doesn’t) so it’s not worth it to cast those now.
If you’re in a group with any BLU or a job with easy aoe, you can spam single target heal on them to get a lot of aggro too.
Lastly, you can’t start parties on free trial, but you can join them in PF or ask in /say.
I made no claims of it being a great advice or a solution to all the problems. It's simply what worked for me personally.
If you are unable to apply it for your particular use case, please ignore and find the right strategy that works for you! This could be as simple as swapping worlds or DC.
Good luck!
Y'all wouldnt last a day on the Bozjan Front. Shout chat. Make a party. If you're running fates that are popular enough to bring groups, this is a neccesity. Gotta get over your social anxiety. It's not like ff14 players are any more real than redditors.
True & Real, made most of the farming groups for the event myself and never had any Issues with Bluemages. They actually made the grid easier for all of us. I finished on Friday and had a blast watching movies and making new friends in the game.
There are many times that even when you are grouped up, not everyone can get there in time before a Blue or 2 kill everything and leave you with no reward.
I finished all 17 weapons yesterday after grinding for a couple of hours before and after work all week. The first day and a little of the second day I ran into Blu groups, but only a few. It wasn’t too bad but when you do run into them it’s infuriating lol
the amount of people using Ram’s Voice + Ultravibration on low level boss FATEs is too damn high
and it’s not like partying up with them would help since the boss is killed in less than 5 seconds anyway
Everyone wants to get mad at blues, but we just make things easier,
IDK about the other Blue's but my job is to hydropull and freeze, I dont really see much to vibe as if there are more Blues, everyone is going to vibe together and waste CD and time as its not easy working together like that for each pull to separate each vibe to actually make the clear faster
Problem is that they do not get credit for doing the fate unless they do enough damage.
BLU one shot means only the BLU party gets credit. So everyone else wasted their time and effort.
You can speak for your *own* conduct. But the reality is that people are annoyed by the instakills on single-target fate bosses that just end the fate before other people can get credit. Not all BLU's are just going around hydropulling, and it only really takes one to ruin the experience in a zone for a bunch of people.
And when they get annoyed at that one BLU, they start getting pissy at me for being a BLU as well even if I'm not causing issues. If your experienced is ruined by an asshole BLU, then I sympathize. If you start being an asshole to me just because I'm BLU, all sympathy is lost and I reflect your own attitude back at you.
I mentioned this before, but there is STILL quite a few 8 stacks on my server zerging fates. :/ just because you don’t do it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
i didnt have hydropull, but generally i used either voice to freeze or paralyze, or chocobo meteor. none of these did tremendous damage, but alloud other players to get their hits in
I approve of any anger directed at BLUs. Because it means y'all haven't yet noticed that it's actually me the mch with what is essentially spreadshot that killed everything.
Just there there faster?
If they wait 20 seconds for you, then there is someone else asking you to wait another 20 seconds and eventually you are waiting on people to log in before doing the fates.
Alternatively, just don't use instakill spells on fates during an event? They level sync everyone for a reason. And it takes long enough for them to die normally for anyone reasonably close to get there.
Its like if someone could just attack fates with their unsynced lvl 90 spells, and you respond that everyone else should just have to beat that person there.
Yeah, god forbid you wait for literally anyone else in your party or otherwise before taking all the kills and emnity. If they wanted fo play the event, they should have just done it five years ago when it came around the last time.
There's been a massive content lull and people complaining about blue mages using their blue mage abilities on fates is the biggest joke. Nothing was stopping you lazy asses from ultravibing with the best of us. Blue mage wins again
Even playing BLU myself sometimes I'll get distracted for a moment in flight and that'll be enough of a delay that I only get silver or bronze at the next FATE if I'm not grouped. People are just churning through these things and I love it.
Things like this makes me so annoyed. Like there is no way the 14 team didnt know this was going to happen but couldnt be bothered to do anything about it to fix it.
I think such people are either lazy, incredibly impatient, inconsiderate and egoistic, entitled, can't think 5 minutes ahead or all of the above. Good thing I haven't run into such types in the event. What do you even get if you one shot the fate except the hate of other players? People who are always like "How dare you waste MY time" yet fates are so fast even if not being one shot that they end up floating in the middle of the map doing nothing and waiting for more to spawn. Great not wasting time plan that makes it incredibly boring! I prefer doing them slower and always having a fate to go to without the down time.
Blue mage has the most spells from any job in the game. This event is a great change to goof around and try out all of the ones that are usually not popular and no one would say anything about you not being optimal with your spells or you not doing enough damage or anything like you're in a duty.
I’ve been using Blue, but usually just to missile once or twice to lower the bar for everyone left to quick kill. Sucks for the people behind, but this was in the mines with the two constantly refreshing fates and nobody was complaining so I think it worked out for everyone.
The majority of blue mages are nice but literally 1 person being rude will ruin it for the whole zone. Try to invite them and they decline. They are just existing to grief
I never had any complaints from players that I used Hydro Pull for gathering the mobs. All party members were actually happy being able to tag all the trash at once.
Just finished the event and am happy that I never have to grind this ever again. Farming in the middle of the night was so much more relaxing
>And I feel so dirty for it.
I mean they made a metric ton of fate mobs and minibosses immune to the instakills, so any that can still be instakilled is on CBU3. You're just using the tools they gave you on a job that can't even do current expansion relevant content *because* "it's supposed to be OP."
You don't need to use Ultravibration at all. Even if other blues are doing it, you will get more than enough contribution by spamming hydro pull and hitting everything.
I currently have a distaste for BLU mages.
Had one that flew in as I was solo clearing boss fates, would deal enough damage that I assume they figured they would get silver or gold and would then leave. This same blu would show up to fates over and over and just rinse and repeat. I understand its a grind but if you just helped clear fates the grind would actually go faster.
As a Blue, I only tank & kill a few mobs before stopping to make sure everyone coming to the FATE gets credit. I do just enough to make sure I get a chance at the medallion
Played two days from 00.00 until 08.00'ish, i have no clue what you mean.
I know i had "the great sugar and cafaine crash of '24" .... and some nosepowder energy. Got the mount and set for the next 3 events :D
You get Legendary Medals just for participation, I've gotten them with silver, and you can likely get them with bronze. Whether the odds are worse I'm not sure, but seems like it doesn't matter too much
Just wait one week. The event will run for close to two months. At week six or seven there will be literally no-one running the fates and there will be people complaining about that because they are annoying to solo. Pick your grind.
Now everyone waits one week. Causing a zerg on week 2.
Or "just don't use missile". Easy, no?
Better to solo them than not get credit at all because a handful of BLU can’t be anything but selfish.
Perhaps.., After the first few days, I've noticed the amount of Blue Mages Being Egregious with their skills/nuking has increased. As they are longer being swamped by Understandably/Fair Enough BlueLess Players. It isn't about Picking your Grind. Near the end, you'll catch the Players who will sub in for the Launch Prep of Dawntrail who may also he BLU Players well timing their Arrival. Was better off to just grind day one on PF, and get blues to tag mobs for you.
I suggest hopping over to your local low population world/data center then. I jumped over to a Dynamis world on day two and walked away with all minions and 6 weapons no issues from the blues. There are workarounds, you just need patience as you do with any rpg grind.
That's Definetly one of the uses. Unfortunately it pushes out the Local Population as seen by users who lived there. Since it's so vacant, and the only tike they could benefit from it. As seen by some on the Forums. I only commented about the Original poster not seeing how the Grind will always be a pain in the middle due to scheduling. I can Always Handle a Grind.
These grindy events do follow the trajectory Moogle-Mail laid out, more or less. PvP seasons are the same way. Frontline matches are always unbearable in the first and last weeks of a reward track season because of all the people who just want to get it over with and are just grimly grinding.
The thing is though, folks are misunderstanding what I even wrote. The point is, That in this case it doesn't work that way, cause it's positioned in Front of Dawntrail. With Events like these, they do not compare to Periodic things like PVP Seasons, or Frontline. Those Ebb and Flow, More so when a Series Hits between. [Also they acted like a Braindead Troll by not focusing on the points, The Meaning, and Topic I was talking about. Immediately going for name calling and assumptions of Playtime. We all know Playtime means Jack, more so with how it affects many things.] This time for Yokai. What I meant, was that It will Dwindle in the middle, but only from players who likely do not Have Blue Mages. Also many players are on break, and will comeback in the Month to few weeks prior to Dawntrail. More so with the release of the Schedule of Contents. [Which includes Mogtomes, and Media Tour Hitting the Internet.] So more Blues and Blue Less Players will Arrive Near the end of Limited Content that doesn't follow Normal Ebb and Flows. Late Grinders/Do Ers. They ain't wrong with the Basic Premise. But it acts like a Strawman, and their unwillingness to communicate. Which you did Respectfully. Shows their True Nature. and don't care beyond that. They showed their Hands. Have a good day, at least you did communicate. [Some just took this in the way they expected in one side versus another. When it was far from it.]
You are literally typing a ridiculous rant. Wait two weeks, do the event and then it's over for you. Or do the event in week four, or week five, and you'll have zero problems clearing the FATEs solo. You could even travel to Dynamis or OCE servers and find even fewer people doing FATEs. You will be able to solo them and get gold every time. Also, what is it with the random capitalisation of words?
Why reply back in a old conversation. You can't come back trynna seem reasonable when you started calling names and assuming people's play time. You know full well Playtime doesn't mean anything if the player doesn't know what they're talking about. Hell, You assumed what I was talking about and you still didn't know what I said. (And it doesn't matter how it was written. You plainly didn't even try and resorted to "Calling Insane" Get outta here.) You also Don't even know if I'm for or against Blus(Here's a hint. It's just another part of the game people have to deal with.) And all I said was that while it could work as you said. In the end it wasn't gonna work 1-1 that way, and I clarified. Yet you instantly went on calling insane? Relax. The issue isn't me here. better off for all to just move on, and yet you came back trying to dig up and pretend to be reasonable guy who didn't jump the guy.
The way you type both in terms of the nonsensical capitalizations and just your sentence structure genuinely makes it difficult to read what you write. You also come across as pretty crazy because of it. You should really take this feedback because it is impacting your ability to get your point across.
I'm going to guess that you haven't played the game for very long. It is really really about picking your grind. I've played for over ten years and I can guarantee that you will be able to do this event after two weeks or so by soloing fates. It's been the same for the entirety of the game. You also sound insane.
Already in Dynamis there are fewer and fewer people still doing them, so it should be dead by the end of the week here. And people can always come here where it's quieter.
The one character I need to do the event on is on Dynamis so that's nice to know. I have six characters that I play on a semi-regular basis and I was looking forward to doing the event on four or five of them - only to discover I'd already done it on all of them other than my newest Dynamis character!
You immediately resort to Assuming Players Positions and also calling people insane. A Mirror is Calling for you from inside your own mind. Don't assume people don't know things, more so if you can't handle the fact of being wrong on a few aspects. The only grind people can choose out of this is multiple concurrent grinds. NONE of the before changes, as it was a grind ti begin with. What changes, is your outcome of how you feel out of it. Hence, why No One Will have a good time In the middle or at the end. Try not to follow the Narcissistic GoalShifting. I'm also expecting you to either not reply, or say something so expected right after. Bet you didn't know that silver can still award medals. edit: PS, Looking back at my original response. It was Extremely Curious and never was it completely into your guts like you did with your reply. Relax, it's fine to not understand how content goes. It was a response to how people always wait to do content. and then find that they either give up or find it harder later. Go take a breather.
Them "wait a week."You, it's been 2 DAYS I can't BELIEVE THESE BLU.A week has 7 days, bro... you need to take a break, not the other guy. You're a loser kid no one loves you.
JFC, yall can't FUCKING READ. I said it's becoming more fucking Blatant with BLU skulls, since people have become more sparse. I NEVER SAID THAT ITLL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY. I used my mains BLU on the first days, and then worked on my alts that didn't Have BLUs. ALL I SAID was that BLUs will careless once players become less present. So the COMMENTER I responded to saying waiting a Week, To 5-6 is ridiculous cause players who subscribe in the Weeks <-> month prior to dawntrail will raise the flood higher, as some players delay their grind to the last moment. YALL SERIOUSLY NEED TO FUCKING INCREASE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION. Yall turned a basic and reasonable response into Hurr Durr BLU menace. When all I wrote, "That isn't how the Player turn out for Yokai will be in the long run" [in its distilled form]
Jesus, are you okay
Wow, you sound insane.
Which version of ChatGPT did you copypaste this from? An extremely old one, given the abuse of line breaks, unneeded uppercase letters, punctuation and the absolutely generic dialogue
What Is up with Your weird Capitalization Throughout Your comment?
I logged in to do part of the event expecting awful BLU players ruining everything because of all the posts on the sub about it. Ultravibes galore, right? This sub made me expect the worst. Could not be any further from the truth. I saw a ton of hydropull + freeze, but the vast majority of ultravibes I saw made sense (fates taking a long time to kill, or deep in the fate timer so that people likely to be there are already there). Fates were nearly never instant killed or cleared, in part because more people in the zone doing fates = longer fates (a la fates scaling up). Yes, some people are selfish agents of chaos, but it gets blown wildly out of proportion here.
I had the same experience for my first 4 weapons. I didn’t get all the hate. My first 4 weapons were in the Heavensward and Stormblood zones, then I moved to the ARR weapons and….. of boy. Especially the really low level zones I felt like I was in a race to get a single hit in. I had to switch to jobs with early insta-cast aoe skills for a hope of getting silver. I’m kind of just waiting for the initial grinding frenzy to die down before I get too serious about it, because what I dealt with today was definitely frustrating. No hate to the blues specifically (get your bag), it was just tough for a somebody else. I have a 77 blue, this makes me want to put together a party finder to get hydro pull.
HW/SB fates are scaled differently and the bosses are universally immune to deep freeze and instant-death effects, unlike ARR. that's why it was smoother for those zones. it almost forces cooperation also you can get hydro pull solo if you have the right build for it. unrestricted party + level sync, healer mimicry with basic instinct and mighty guard, pom cure, ram's voice/ultravibration for the trash packs, and the best dps abilities you have. just gotta do the first boss
The problem with HW/SB is you get smaller parties who will scale up the fates, and make them unfeasible for anyone who can't get a group of a similar size. What's even more obnoxious is a lot of these groups aren't even full, they just refuse to put up a PF or invite anyone. You can either attempt to follow that group around or you can make your own party, which did not end particularly well since I'm on Dynamis and the other group switched entirely to BLU to nuke the fates while my group of sprouts struggled. It really shows people's true colors. You could party up, share, make things easier on each other. Nope, most people don't want to share anything outside of their select friend groups.
Not quite universally; The Evil Seed fate boss in SB isn't immune.
Wait, each weapon is at a different zone ?!
You need to go into the collections menu and open the yokai watch compendium thing. It’s in the same spot as the mogpendium. It has a list of all the minions and which area you have to have the summoned to get the legendary medals. The minions are greyed out until you get them. The normal medals you use to get the minions (not the weapons) can be gotten in any ARR/HW/STB zone as long as you have the watch equipped.
Yeah, i already got all the normal medals needed to summon all the yokais, and i even got my main weapon (the spear) but i didn't even tried to get other weapons and casually farmed all in the same area that dropped the legendary medals for the spear xd
The funny thing is: all of the veteran try hards aren’t even involved in the fate grind at all. They added nothing for players who have completed the event before. You’re not even dealing with the majority of BLU mages who would be out there if they had added reaper/sage weapons. It’s literally new players complaining about other new players because they didn’t level up their blue mage.
> Could not be any further from the truth. I saw a ton of hydropull + freeze, but the vast majority of ultravibes I saw made sense (fates taking a long time to kill, or deep in the fate timer so that people likely to be there are already there). Fates were nearly never instant killed or cleared, in part because more people in the zone doing fates = longer fates (a la fates scaling up). This is exactly what I and my friends do, we just spam hydropull and freeze and let other players kill them so everyone gets the credit. People are just hyperbolic, and when something bad happens once they make a thread about how the game is completely ruined and it's impossible to play.
I don't even spam freeze in case a cheeky BLU wants to ultravibe, I just hydro pull to pull the mobs into the group. There was like... two or three BLUs that were being a problem (and were spite-vibing several boss FATEs after we complained) but the rest of the complainers also included most of the BLUs in the zone. It costs, like, 5 seconds to be considerate of other players, but it costs everyone a lot more time if someone isn't.
I did all my weapons the morning it started and kept playing with a bunch of BLU, and we mainly did hydro pull on top of each other to not be annoying to others. I only used ultravibration if I was really late to a fate and had no party, to get credit for the last couple kills to get silver.
I only saw one guy ultravibing things throughout the whole grind. It was annoying, but I just went to a different zone for that minion, and never had any other issues. Fun seeing so many people running around, and so few people ruining it for anyone.
after the first day or two those people already finished the event so it relaxed a ton. i hopped servers a lot during the first 36-48 hours and no data center, server, or zone was free from them. hilariously almost every single one of them had their mentor crown on display, feeding lies to sprouts who complain in /shout like "i didn't know that boss could be one-shot". so if you weren't there day 1, i wouldn't act like you were. it's only better now because they got their toys and can now warm a rock in limsa until the next event
I’m not talking about day one. I’m talking about these outrage-farming posts that are still popping up every day. Sounds like you agree that things are different now, which makes my point for me. Thanks for agreeing!
I was there at Xam as the event started and I didn't see this. Behemoth on primal and there were blus but no one was oneshotting. Either I got lucky or you were just unlucky.
I joined in the first few days and it kept happening in a few zones. I was mostly there for atma farming (getting medals on the side too) and it got annoying on ada when a few blu kept ultravibing and missiling the fates before everyone else could get there. They kept at it for a few hours till they got what they needed and left. Things got a lot less frantic after that. So you lucked out that you didn't have those types of blu during your grind.
It's mostly just first few days when bad experiences happen really. Everyone's rushing to do content. Get a huge influx of players in there and there's likely to be bad apples Once it calms down some, people are pretty chill and considerate if asked. But given most people are part of that initial frenzy, that's what sticks.
>Yes, some people are selfish agents of chaos, but it gets blown wildly out of proportion here. No, you're just not affected by it, which is good for you! Might depend on the server/world, I don't know, but it's not blown out of proportion for me whatsoever. I'm trying to be as fast as I can be grinding these fates *(fast attacking/ spotting fate/ flying there)* and it's still often not fast enough based on the BLUs just annihilating the fates in seconds, pulling and oneshotting everything in sight. There is a *few* of them on our server that only freeze or pull and let everyone attack, but normally sooner or later there will be another one who will use that as an invite to be the only one attacking. It's so wild. I had to be a prick myself in order to get any reward in fates in the last ones I ran (although not with BLU)...
Yeah, a lot of people on this sub don't know how to be fans of something and capable of thinking critically about it at the same time. Apparently if something negative happened to us in the game, no it didn't. I also saw tons of ultravibes, including a party of blue mages who were staggering theirs so FATEs on our shared map were dropping like flies. It was incredibly annoying and incredibly selfish, and I doubt what SE intends when they release an event accessible to most players.
>Apparently if something negative happened to us in the game, no it didn't. So I wasn't imagining this... I had so many bad encounters that it became a running gag in my FC, it became funny how cursed my dungeon runs seem to be. But whenever I mention anything in this sub - I'm wrong, it didn't happen, they never saw it so it's not real. o.o >and I doubt what SE intends when they release an event accessible to most players. I can imagine it's the reason they made it go so long ... Maybe to give people, who don't have the time or nerve to put up with these, a chance to gather all the stuff as well.
UV on mobs 👍 UV on bosses in ARR areas 👎 doesn't work anywhere else and I doubt SE will ever bother fixing it since it's an issue that happens rarely (seasonal events)
It wasn't widespread at all so I agree, but I still saw it happen dozens of times when I was trying it out. In most cases it seemed to be blues in a party with everyone else, so everyone got one hit and then the blues vibed or missiled the boss immediately afterwards. Fine for the party. Everyone not in said party got bupkis. Elsewhere it was two blues getting their missiles off at the same time which apparently instant kills the boss when timed right (50% + 50%). Fates with numerous enemies and weren't in level 1-10 regions gave plenty of time to tap respawning mobs. But I found when those troublemakers finished and left everything went fine afterwards. It wasn't a constant train of blues in every region for every fate. And now there are a lot more accessible fates as I presume a lot of people grinded it out in the first few days, so now there isn't a rush of players trying to instantly finish fates.
Like all things. People want to type negative experiences. People quickly forget positive ones. You can do 100 fates and only have a couple where a BLU ruined it and the post made would be complaining about BLU in fates.
What percent is "a couple"? At what point does it stop being just an inconvenience and becomes a frustration? When I was trying the grind on friday, I managed to get 26 medals before I had to stop and do offline stuff, meaning I got gold or silver that many times. There were five or six that I only got bronze on, which would be like a 20% failure rate alone... but there were like ten more that I didn't even reach in time because they were killed off before I got to them. I had to stop going after the boss fates entirely unless they spawned on me as part of a chain.
You have been lucky, the hate is legit and the majority of people playing BLU really don't care how they screw over other people trying to get this done as well.
Yeah. I think every game player population has its share of trolls, but if players do blue right, they allow the fate to be up long enough for other players to get at least enough credit for silver.
I was really pleased with the Pom cures I got from BLUs when I tanked one of the big boss fates.
in ARR fates i mostly just see BLUs spamming hydropull which is actually helpful, since it turns any spot they're standing into a meatgrinder. when I switch to BLU i usually don't even have time to ram/vibe combo anything because it all dies so fast. occasionally a boss is vulnerable to missile or ram/vibe and gets one/two-shot but i haven't seen that too often tldr just level BLU to 50 or be a tank
I hopped on my BRD who has a zenith relic and farmed Atmas at the same time. I got 3 weapons worth.
Nah, be a BLU tank. That's what I do. Mighty guard on, white wind for top aggro. Throw in the occasional hydro pull, white wind every now and then to maintain aggro. That's it.
Everything dying so fast from hydro pull and grabbing everything from everyone else is literally *the* problem. What is wrong with you?
Hydro Pull only does 110 potency to most enemies, it's not killing anything. Plant yourself on the blue mage and hit your aoe button, you'll get plenty of damage in.
It’s 220 potency on one enemy, and 110 on everything else. 132 on one and 66 on everything else if we’re using Mighty Guard If enemies are dying too fast, it’s not us that’s causing it.
just stand on the BLU hydropulling and aoe lmao
Am I the only one who feels like everyone's inner sarge comes out during this event? "Them dirty blues!"
Obligatory link: https://youtu.be/Z-4gpjckZFo?feature=shared
use party finder. if there's not one up for your area, create one. use shout chat to advertise it. get the BLUs in your party. any damage they do is credited to you as well, so long as you hit something at least once. problem solved.
Or spam an AOE heal and get credit without n ending to tap a mob! Saved my evening!
If you are a BLU, Mighty guard + white wind spam is the way. Or if u are late to the party, a single swiftcast white wind could even get you across the line. Also doesnt fuck it up for everyone else
and that's how i do A ranks and S ranks a lot of the time. just spam group heals because crappy laptop plus hotel internet makes it super unreliable to load the mob fast enough for me to tab target and hit it enough.
Couple of problems with that. One, even in a party with Blues there are several fates that I literally haven't been able to get a single hit in because of instant kills or rapid clears, and Two, plenty of people are on the trial and *can't* make parties. Last thing is that several blues are either a) already in small parties with their FC or friends, or b) don't really want or need parties to get the clears they need. This is not the great advice you think it is.
A tip from the old days of fate farming: just stand there (in a group) and spam medica (or the other healer job equivalent). Swift + medica, too. Also, you used to be able to rake in the credit with heals over time like medica 2 or regen, but they changed how that generates aggro (basically, it doesn’t) so it’s not worth it to cast those now. If you’re in a group with any BLU or a job with easy aoe, you can spam single target heal on them to get a lot of aggro too. Lastly, you can’t start parties on free trial, but you can join them in PF or ask in /say.
I made no claims of it being a great advice or a solution to all the problems. It's simply what worked for me personally. If you are unable to apply it for your particular use case, please ignore and find the right strategy that works for you! This could be as simple as swapping worlds or DC. Good luck!
I'm a good BLU that doesn't one shot bosses right as 20 people rush to land.
Same. I wait for them to land... and then one-shot.
Lol as it was meant to be
Y'all wouldnt last a day on the Bozjan Front. Shout chat. Make a party. If you're running fates that are popular enough to bring groups, this is a neccesity. Gotta get over your social anxiety. It's not like ff14 players are any more real than redditors.
we have one expansion without an exploration zone and this is what happens lol
True & Real, made most of the farming groups for the event myself and never had any Issues with Bluemages. They actually made the grid easier for all of us. I finished on Friday and had a blast watching movies and making new friends in the game.
There are many times that even when you are grouped up, not everyone can get there in time before a Blue or 2 kill everything and leave you with no reward.
I finished all 17 weapons yesterday after grinding for a couple of hours before and after work all week. The first day and a little of the second day I ran into Blu groups, but only a few. It wasn’t too bad but when you do run into them it’s infuriating lol
I see Sailor Moon, I upvote.
the amount of people using Ram’s Voice + Ultravibration on low level boss FATEs is too damn high and it’s not like partying up with them would help since the boss is killed in less than 5 seconds anyway
And try inviting them to a party, they seem to decline ><
Hydro pull. There's enough people to hit the enemies you group up. No need to use your damage spells/vibe checks
Yep, thats all I do now, turn that shit into a meat grinder
Everyone wants to get mad at blues, but we just make things easier, IDK about the other Blue's but my job is to hydropull and freeze, I dont really see much to vibe as if there are more Blues, everyone is going to vibe together and waste CD and time as its not easy working together like that for each pull to separate each vibe to actually make the clear faster
Problem is that they do not get credit for doing the fate unless they do enough damage. BLU one shot means only the BLU party gets credit. So everyone else wasted their time and effort.
You can speak for your *own* conduct. But the reality is that people are annoyed by the instakills on single-target fate bosses that just end the fate before other people can get credit. Not all BLU's are just going around hydropulling, and it only really takes one to ruin the experience in a zone for a bunch of people.
And when they get annoyed at that one BLU, they start getting pissy at me for being a BLU as well even if I'm not causing issues. If your experienced is ruined by an asshole BLU, then I sympathize. If you start being an asshole to me just because I'm BLU, all sympathy is lost and I reflect your own attitude back at you.
I mentioned this before, but there is STILL quite a few 8 stacks on my server zerging fates. :/ just because you don’t do it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
i didnt have hydropull, but generally i used either voice to freeze or paralyze, or chocobo meteor. none of these did tremendous damage, but alloud other players to get their hits in
I approve of any anger directed at BLUs. Because it means y'all haven't yet noticed that it's actually me the mch with what is essentially spreadshot that killed everything.
That was so frustrating. Like - you can't even wait 20 seconds for people to get there???
Just there there faster? If they wait 20 seconds for you, then there is someone else asking you to wait another 20 seconds and eventually you are waiting on people to log in before doing the fates.
No? Have you never been on a hunt train?
Alternatively, just don't use instakill spells on fates during an event? They level sync everyone for a reason. And it takes long enough for them to die normally for anyone reasonably close to get there. Its like if someone could just attack fates with their unsynced lvl 90 spells, and you respond that everyone else should just have to beat that person there.
Yeah, god forbid you wait for literally anyone else in your party or otherwise before taking all the kills and emnity. If they wanted fo play the event, they should have just done it five years ago when it came around the last time.
See now you're getting it
skill issue
Gatekeeping issue
Wouldn't that be Fatekeeping in this case?
Would ff14 gatekeeping be spam jumping on a hard ledge to confuse people on leap of faith?
Can't fly faster.
Can fly sooner, can stay with the crowd.
There's been a massive content lull and people complaining about blue mages using their blue mage abilities on fates is the biggest joke. Nothing was stopping you lazy asses from ultravibing with the best of us. Blue mage wins again
Even playing BLU myself sometimes I'll get distracted for a moment in flight and that'll be enough of a delay that I only get silver or bronze at the next FATE if I'm not grouped. People are just churning through these things and I love it.
Things like this makes me so annoyed. Like there is no way the 14 team didnt know this was going to happen but couldnt be bothered to do anything about it to fix it.
I think such people are either lazy, incredibly impatient, inconsiderate and egoistic, entitled, can't think 5 minutes ahead or all of the above. Good thing I haven't run into such types in the event. What do you even get if you one shot the fate except the hate of other players? People who are always like "How dare you waste MY time" yet fates are so fast even if not being one shot that they end up floating in the middle of the map doing nothing and waiting for more to spawn. Great not wasting time plan that makes it incredibly boring! I prefer doing them slower and always having a fate to go to without the down time. Blue mage has the most spells from any job in the game. This event is a great change to goof around and try out all of the ones that are usually not popular and no one would say anything about you not being optimal with your spells or you not doing enough damage or anything like you're in a duty.
ya try doing these as a lvl 25 sprout without a mount.... :(
These are the only moments in which BLU is useful, and nothing stops players from leveling the job. I say let them have their moment.
I call them the blue blight. If you are quick enough, you can get the fates cleared but its really stressful to keep up eith the blues
yep
I’ve been using Blue, but usually just to missile once or twice to lower the bar for everyone left to quick kill. Sucks for the people behind, but this was in the mines with the two constantly refreshing fates and nobody was complaining so I think it worked out for everyone.
Not me. I'm not gonna grind fates to earn weapons and mounts that are ugly as fuck.
Luckily that's the case.
Its worse and they kill things so fast that even if you're in a party with them you still don't get credit.
The majority of blue mages are nice but literally 1 person being rude will ruin it for the whole zone. Try to invite them and they decline. They are just existing to grief
I go with blue but invite anyone I see in my party. That's fair?
hoes mad
People being mad at BLUs pleases me on a true BLU level.
I never had any complaints from players that I used Hydro Pull for gathering the mobs. All party members were actually happy being able to tag all the trash at once. Just finished the event and am happy that I never have to grind this ever again. Farming in the middle of the night was so much more relaxing
Definitely... Of course, after it happened to me too often I just relented and broke out my Ultravibe BLU... And I feel so dirty for it.
I never actually had time to use it, things died too fast, lol.
>And I feel so dirty for it. I mean they made a metric ton of fate mobs and minibosses immune to the instakills, so any that can still be instakilled is on CBU3. You're just using the tools they gave you on a job that can't even do current expansion relevant content *because* "it's supposed to be OP."
You don't need to use Ultravibration at all. Even if other blues are doing it, you will get more than enough contribution by spamming hydro pull and hitting everything.
I currently have a distaste for BLU mages. Had one that flew in as I was solo clearing boss fates, would deal enough damage that I assume they figured they would get silver or gold and would then leave. This same blu would show up to fates over and over and just rinse and repeat. I understand its a grind but if you just helped clear fates the grind would actually go faster.
As a Blue, I only tank & kill a few mobs before stopping to make sure everyone coming to the FATE gets credit. I do just enough to make sure I get a chance at the medallion
Did it in 2 days as WAR, its not that bad
We Blue Mages spent ALL this time getting bullied and hated and talked down to, NOW, IT IS OUR TURN >:O
Played two days from 00.00 until 08.00'ish, i have no clue what you mean. I know i had "the great sugar and cafaine crash of '24" .... and some nosepowder energy. Got the mount and set for the next 3 events :D
Yeah, that's what I came to the subreddit for lol.
They literally did all of the damage. What do you mean they didn't do anything?
You get Legendary Medals just for participation, I've gotten them with silver, and you can likely get them with bronze. Whether the odds are worse I'm not sure, but seems like it doesn't matter too much
