[Babekeke]

Seconded. ^^

As announced, you will be able to select an option to infuse yourself with the atmas that you last used. However, this is only a temporary solution and the development team is working on other ways to select atmas with increased speed. They are currently looking into the below two options:

1. Ability to voluntarily create up to 3 atma sets
2. Creation of a list of the most recent 12 atmas used

Which would you all prefer to see implemented?

Why not both?
Just make 2 options at the NPC.
"Show recently used Atma"
"Choose from Atma Sets"

Making it one or the other is a bit silly, and you'll have people annoyed with either option being the only option.

i'm annoyed with the option 2 tbh. Yes it's 12 atmas, but i would like the ability to click on one 'set' of atmas that i use all of the time and say 'these are the three i'm going to use.'
with option 2, you still have to scroll through the atmas, with option 1 you only have to click 1 set.

I second this logic.

Many of the people who voted for #2 were provisional, expecting certain adjustments to the original concept.

Where Proposal #1 is most desirable is the speed at which certain people could get the atmas that they use all the time. 3 sets may be good for some people, but those who chose option #2 generally switch out their atmas for many situations.

While the increased speed of selecting 3 atmas in a single action is the desired outcome of either proposal, #1 clearly achieves this without any changes from the initial proposal for a certain segment of the population. #1 fails those who often change their atmas.

Proposal #2 requires slight changes which would ultimately make it far superior to #1 if they're implemented. Since #2 has been selected, we can only voice our strong desires to see certain functionality implemented.

My strong desire is for:
Being able to select 3 atma from a list of 12 pre-chosen atmas on a single screen and a single confirmation. (only interacting with the atma NPC one time to set all 3.) And the option to use the previous selection of Atmas from the last time we set atma should be kept through any system changes that are made.

I have constructed this guide (click) on how to fix Atma.

Elvaan optional.

#2 if SE doesn't wanna listen.

Shamelessly quoting myself if, for any reason, the ability to select your Atma outside of Abyssea would save a couple minutes. Yes, it's basically ripping off the Blue Magic menu, but it'd eventually give people the means to sort their lists how they wish, retain their last three, and of course get them all set in a few clicks.

I definitely agree that the new atma list should eliminate a lot of the confirmation dialogue. We all know what Minikin does at this point. If it's in our 12 most recent, we don't need to be reminded. Streamlining that dialogue would be great.

If you think about it, if Atma selection was streamlined in the first place, they wouldn't nearly have as much a need for this as they currently do. Still, I'm all for it. In fact, I'd like to remind people (including mods) of this again.

Seconded. ^^

I have to agree. Since the development team is going with the 12 atma's you HAVE to implement this. Not maybe, you have to. If you want to save us time when selecting atmas then allow us to select one, then ask us if we want another or if we want to stop. If we want another we select that option and pick our second and if we want another then we select our third.

If we don't have the key item for a 2nd or 3rd, when we go to select another atma the NPC should tell us that we don't meet the necessary requirements for another atma or something along those lines and give us what we have selected whether it be 1 or 2 atmas.

like...

You talk to the NPC, it asks you the set of options and you pick the option to select out of the 12 last used atma's. You pick one of the options listed. The NPC offers these choices:

I would like to pick another atma
I wish to change my previous choice
I wish to be finished and keep the current selection
Cancel

This theoretically shouldn't change after the first two atma's. When you pick the 3rd and final one if you meet the requirements, or after you meet the allowed amount that you can possess based on your key items, the NPC does something like a ToM moogle would and give you the buff and all 3 would appear (or however many you can possess).

You could even throw in a menu listing the 3 (or however many) you selected to confirm your choices. But keep in mind this is yet another menu that takes time to load and look through and hit enter to confirm our selection. If we are talking about speed picking our atma's then the delay between menus should be minimal. Animations should be cut out and the bare minimum is what is needed. This is about performance, getting in picking your buffs, and moving on to do what you can with the time allotted to you.

That is my contribution to the issue.

Edit: Also, if the team is planning on separating the 12 atmas between pages (which I highly suspect they will), do not send us back to the start. Keep us at the spot we were in whether it be page 2 or 3 or w/e. We don't need you to send us back to page 1 as we would have got those to begin with.

Please copy and paste this code into the new Atma menu feature!
