People are loving this patch; we need to be more vocal.

A strange conundrum.

People wanted reasons to be out in the open world, and many used things like NMs that would spawn and have a chance of dropping something unique.

What they got were a questline involving FATEs which, you guessed it, spawn with a chance of dropping something unique.

I personally feel the main reason why people are complaining is because it was a FATE and not a NM.

I haven't played it yet today (work day begins at 5am) but I look forward to the Zodiac grind. Will let me actually use my conjurer for something other than duty roulette ^_^

Yeah, but I can sympathize, because it does feel a bit lazy. These are varying level fates, that have a small chance of dropping an Atma. Most people don't like the idea of riding out and then syncing to lvl 3 fates. haha. Can't say I enjoy it myself, but I managed to pick up 3 Atma's just stopping to do fates while trying to unlock leviathan.

oh the irony, you described the atma FATEs exactly how all the NM campers wanted it to be.

[SendohJin]

there's nothing unique about Atmas.

I haven't been able to do much yet. Just unlocked a few things and started on the main story. Hope to get through the main story tonight and start working on some of the side stuff. (dailies, roulettes)

I am enjoying what I've seen of the main story so far though.

I am loving the new content of Fate grinding old fates.

Feels like I'm leveling again, just without the xp.

I'm looking forward to trying all the new content. And I like the fact that I can't possibly expect to get through any of the grindy stuff quickly. It takes a lot of self-induced pressure off. 2.1 had me in this uncomfortable spot where I always had just enough time in a week to cap myth and get in a couple XM attempts or do other stuff, so I felt like I was slacking regardless of what I chose to do. 2.2 looks like it's putting stuff sufficiently out of reach that I won't feel like there's anything in particular I just have to do.

Leviathan EX has been kicking my ass the few attempts I've had so far. Getting it down more and it's a pretty fun fight.

Maybe I'm the only one amazed by this, but since the patch went live you've completed all of the 2.2 story and started fighting Leviathan EX with other people who also rushed through the story in a matter of hours!? Damn, I don't expect to be up to that fight for at least a couple weeks, lol.

Honestly, you can get your Atma weapon in a day grinding, depending on your luck. I am at 8 right now, and had time to do a chunk of the new dungeons too. After that, you can get your Anima weapon for 13.5k myths. That is NOT by any means a large amount of myths for a legendary weapon. If you have a friend or two to run dungeons with for faster queues, you can get it done within 70-90 hours. That really is not that much at all; easily done within 2 weeks max.

Now, I won't talk about the rest of the new content; mostly because most of the negativity is about having to actually grind and spend a chunk of hours to get an item.

EDIT: But seriously, Lost City is fantastic, the new hard modes are at least par too.[/QUOTE]

You realize thats playing the game almost 8 hours a day.. thats a full time job playing the game.. what kind of world are you living in?

[Xairos]

Im glad people are spreading out all over the world again!

You realize thats playing the game almost 8 hourd a day.. thats a full time job playing the game.. what kond of world are you living in?

lets not pretend that people don't do that. There are people in my FC that are on at least 12 hours a day. On some weekends (even with a full work schedule, a family, and active social life) I can pull 10 hours on a saturday easily.
