'Up in Arms' - Atma - The new Hamlet 2.0 Time Sync

I don't quite understand how this quest has anything to do with the story line. Why am I syncing to low level completely random FATE's in random areas for a 2% drop rate? What does this have to do with the story line or progression at all? This is just another boring time sync similar to Hamlet in 1.0. I can understand making relics hard to obtain, but it shouldn't simply be by complete random drop rates from random FATE's that have nothing to do with the story. I would understand maybe a requirement such as completing all EX dungeons, but this? This completely random RNG FATE grinding is just a complete yawn, sorry.

I agree...why the f**k am I doing lvl 4-10 FATEs to upgrade my i90 Weapon? How does that work? I honestly almost feel like quitting this game because the devs think this is any way acceptable...at least make us do high level FATEs...making me use Stone 1 and Aero 1 to grind FATEs in the newbie zones for days on end for an i100 Relic? You have serious issues devs, what on earth made you think this was in any way shape or form a good idea?

This seriously might have ruined this game for me, no joke.

yea I hate to join the depression train but though I am loving the new patch, this forced fate grinding is really annoying I never liked fates only did them to get certain things done or level a class through a few levels to avoid DF but this is just stupid.

most players don't like fate's (at least most of my friends don't enjoy mindlessly grinding them) so why are you guys driving fates down our throats? don't even get me started on why 125 phil tomes somehow is now equal to 2500 GC seals -_-

Can anybody explain whole step?

Pretty sure the point of it is for all those lvl 50 players that burned their way to cap doing FATE grind parties and still don't know how to play their class.

Back to the basics Lmao

I too am not a fan of this as I feel that grinding low level fates is incredibly boring and that the drop percentage is way too low.

I feel that they should increase the drop rate and make it drop from higher level fates or have new fates that are specific to the quest.

Dear square enix, I Have a lot of respect for your work and I do understand how hard it may be to please such a huge player base. Today, it took me 6h to get the first Atma: Atma of the maiden. It was a rather frustrating experience when my friend got 3 of those in less then an hour. I would like to know if this is "working as intended" or an upcoming fix will occur.

Sincere thanks,

PS. This is starting to feel like voidwatch.

This is pointless. I have gone to all the different areas only to end up with 1 drop for over 9 hours now. I for one, like many others, would like to know the importance of having to do all of these fates over again? Is not enough that we did these fates can continue to do these fates as well level up classes? WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR ME TO GRIND LIKE THIS? WHAT IS THE POINT OF ADDING NEW CONTENT IF ALL YOUR GONNA DO IS MAKE ME DO THE SAME CRAP AGAIN? Did you run out of idea's SE? Yes an increased drop rate would be nice! Yes new fates or even the need to do higher level fates in other areas that do not see as much traffic would have been nice. Hell I would even settle for having to grind out EX or the newer HM you put it. Fate grinding is boring no matter how you look at it.

I agreed. I want to get my new powerful weapon through some difficult challenges fight but not based on RNG!! :mad:
