    atma drop rates

    either increase the drop rates or make a scaling system were every time it fails to drop its chance of dropping increases, 8 hours and counting without getting an atma (yes i have the quest, yes im in the right area, and yes i have my zenith weapon equiped) this is getting a little ridiculous, im no longer having fun, and when im not having fun i move on.

    You don't have to get the atma. You can purchase a weathered tome weapon from Rowena (10 Rowena Token (Soldiery) for 130 Soldiery each), or you can use Tidal wand + shield until High Allagan.

    Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to get your atma.


    I haven't even started getting any Atmas and I think this system is awesome. It's actually making you WORK for your high level gear

    Agree. People are getting a little ridiculous over this.

    i have no issues working for a pieces of gear, but relying on RNG to get 12 items at a 1% drop rate is kinda retarded, as for earning the items, you know what i earned... my Allagan weapon from T5 and my primal weapons those i worked for, this is like saying someone who just won the lotery worked realy hard for there millions.

    Pretty much this. It would have been fine if the entire thing was just a pure cosmetic thing like the Wind Up Tonberry, but putting RNG in quest progression, especially for powering up a weapon, is bad design.

    The atma fate system is fine. Like stated previously you can get a weather weapon or get the tidal weapon if u want something quick. If there is no challenge its no fun. i grinding fates for 12 hours and got all 12.

    XD, i agree to say it's just a bad game design,
    and like goonie say he got the 12 atma in 12 hours, but that's it, lucky one will get it fast and unlucky one will not have it before 60 hours of fate.
    This is why goonie can't understand complain when some players have 12 hours of fate and 0 atma.
    The leviathan one will not be more accurate you need a rare drop to get to ilevel100 but it still a option, maybe more intersting.
    also people complain about the fact it's involving low level fate, i agree too it's meaningless.
    Base high level weapon on luck is not a great idea,
    Yoshida is often speaking of balance of the game, well the luck is not totaly unbalanced between player ?

    Not quite.
    Soldiery weapons require a T6 drop, the Unidentified Allagan Tomestone. Don't forget that detail

    A grind is not a challenge. I can mindlessly spam flash, blizzard II, instant cast spells and just leech gold rating wins. That's not challenging. And some players have been running these for 12 hours with no drops.
