It is our FATE to endure the Atma quest - Patch 2.28

I only ever really do fates when I need more seals to buy more ventures... So far gotten 3 in april, 3 start of may and lucky for me 2 more mid may. So 4 more to go... Of course running some of those fate areas for seals is a drag because they drop almost no seals. I'm rather training on garuda ex or t5 or anything else really than do fate grinding though.

I'm only able to play 2-3hs on week days, take from there what time you need for crafting or doing roulettes, leaves me with sometimes 1 hour to FATE grind. So sometimes I can go on for 4 or 5 days without seing an atma drop.

Same here, and still on 5/12. So awful.

I'm actually facin SCoB T7, so apart of this, atma is the only content of 2.2 I've not cleared... It's so annoing...

SE, I say NO.

I've gotten 1 Atma weapon, and that was enough for me. The books, if nothing else, give me something to do when I don't feel like/am able to do anything else. And even then, I'm STILL not getting the tomes I need to get my next book. . . And I have to do that 8 times? No.

Novus? I've lost interest, thanks to the heavy gating just to get to another grind. So No.

I'm not up to SCOB just yet, but I would much rather do that and get one of those weapons than continue to be forced to play content I was never fully interested in for the sake of content I'm losing/have lost interest in. . . for the sake of MORE content that holds no interest for me, again due to reasons previously stated. So, respectfully, No.

Japan. Everything that has major changes to/updates, it's all based off of the mainland's preferences/wants. Don't believe me? Just look at SEGA and Phantasy Star Online 2. Sure, they COULD have made a U.S. port version of the game, but because the company wants profits and Japz usually don't want to play with "gaijinz," they never made a stateside release. Despite being at several conventions in the U.S. SHOWCASING THE DAMN GAME. Being just like Britney Spears; total cocktease until we found out she's a super whore.

So you're only listening to the Japanese playerbase? So you're waiting until the gaijinz get tired of complaining of atmas and just do it?

I see how it is, SE. You never listened to us Americans to begin with.

Oh well, since the won't change the objectives to get an Animus weapon, I will surely not make a second one. Seeing what they nerfed and seeing that they leave the RNG elements and the rare FATES for the ATMA books how they are, makes me just shake my head.

In my almost one Year lasting time with FF14, the RNG factor for getting the ATMAS and the waiting time for the rare FATES were the most boring and depressing elements in this Game. I see a gazillion of threads here and in other forums from complaining players but SE does not see a problem. LOL. But bees on Demon Wall had to go. Yeah, right. THAT was needed.

I feel like there has to be some kind of crazy trick. I feel like the Japan time Theory was only partially correct. I got 6 Water Bearer Atma in 2 days following the Japan Time Theory.

It seems sortof hit or miss, but when i was getting a flood of atma by following the Theory, i felt like there is more to it than just RNG.

28/132 Atma (Goal:Set for each class including 2 new ones)

It's not just SE that does this. Team Ninja with Dead or Alive 5 is notorious for ignoring US players and even the lead developer of the game admitted to it, which is sad because the first version of the game he listened to the top US players a lot, but as the game got patched and further with the release of the "ultimate" edition the game got less consistent and more random elements returned from DoA4 all because of the Japanese community. The game got worse because for some reason Japan loves things being completely random.

The theory is a placebo effect. RNG is RNG.

As much as i want to believe that, There is a surprising amount of consistency in my atma gain.
I got 3 of my Water Bearer atma, nearly back to back in a span of 30-45 minutes. (soloing fate bosses)
and then i got 2 more (Water Bearer) at the same time the next day.

I think the theory is incomplete.
First I'd want the developers to say specifically that there isn't a trick.
I'm sifting through the live letters to see if there was ever a claim but I've only seen comments on 'no planed adjustments'
And how about that color troll patch? We apparently had issues 'Seeing Atma' so they changed the color?
