ATMA and Echo Challenges Tonight

Hello All,

I was just wondering if anybody has any insight as to what the ATMA and Echo challenges are during tonight's 14 hour anniversary broadcast? It seems according to the schedule that the ATMA challenge will last the entire 14 hours and there will be a 7 hour period where 3 echo challenges take place.

Do you guys think that there will be any special rewards or is this simply Yoshi's way of getting us to participate in that content by calling it a challenge? I don't think any official information about these has been released but I'm not sure.

Here is the schedule on the anniversary site: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/anniv...?rgn=na&lng=en

It might just be a contest amoungst the staff there for who can get the most atma within a 14 hour time-span.

That would be hilarious to see.

i could totally see that happening

I'm secretly hoping that they increase ATMA drop rates for 14 hours, but then I realize that too many people would whine on the forums so it probably won't happen. :P

Nah its gonna be 6-7 Devs ending up with like 2-3 atmas, and one dev getting all 12 in 2 hrs, then getting flammed on the forums about it.

i know its rng, but ironicly i ended up getting atma of the goat while doing the shantoto fate. i want to believe it will get boosted

You know something is wrong when even the devs are doing this as if it's an incredibly hard task.

Or just something to do because they could instead do the 14 hour stream as an extended preview of 2.38/2.4 and first look at some expansion concept.

Instead they need to do something to make it interesting.

Not sure if anybody actually looked at the schedule or not but if these challenges are strictly dev related I find it highly unlikely that Yoshi will be participating in the ATMA challenge because there are other broadcasts such as Yoshi-P's room and the next live letter at the same time. There are slots for the echo challenge but the ATMA challenge is simply scheduled to occur at the same time the live broadcasts are scheduled.

If farming atma was interesting I'd probably have a set by now.
