Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[ApolloGenX]

Why not just have slot machines with prizes.... and one of the prizes is the atma?

It's the same skill/grind/repetition... but at least a slot machine in a new Golden Saucer would be more interesting with other possible prizes.

Heck, with this setup, they could have put in a casino with one atma from each of the games and it would be more fun.

The quest must be changed immediately. RNG is a bad choice from Devs. I remember how much Korean MMO Devs love RNG factor and all Korean games are based upon it thus their games are mostly garbage because poeple don't like RNG factor. Change the quest from RNG to "Kill X mobs, or participate in X Fates at least" Spending hours without knowing what's gonna happen its not nice and its not fair.

These Atma fate grinding is absolutely ridiculous. Spent a few hours, and nobody in the party got one. Nobody.

Square, this is a poor addition to this game. It add no value to it, and it isn't fun AT ALL. Whichever dev thought of this idea, should seriously be fired.

Has Square released a statement, or anything from this? This is complete bull, same with having to pay for an additional retainer.

First of all, positive first. At least, only one thing is good thing.

13,500 myth tomes is wonderful idea. We did ask for longer path to upgrade relic weapons.

However.

NOBODY eve ask for fates grinding! I mean, SE you knew no one even like doing fates for quests! Crystal tower fate was so horrible to begin with.

Now Zodiak relic quests ask you to collect 12 atmas from FATEs...with 1-5% of drop rate. Horrible idea ever.

Please remove that fates from Zodiak and have us grind on specific MOBs. Then we will be happy.

SE, please don't ever drag quests into fates. Nobody want fates at all. Next time I see new quest being drag into fate then I'm done with this game for good.

I don't spend my money on waiting game.

"I don't spend my money on a waiting game." THIS! So much. I wouldn't mind having to pay 13,500 myth, I like that idea as well, but the fate grinding has GOT TO GO.

This is THE WORST idea added in any MMO EVER IMO. I'd rather a cash shop, and I hate cash shops with a passion.

[alhandra]

if there was an alternate option for getting the atma pieces the rng wouldnt be so bad. even if the kept the rng factor and drop rates the same but just added the drop into dungeons it wouldnt be quite so bad. im sure alot of people would much rather spam dungeons for an rng drop than spam fates. fates are so mindless and boring, maybe if they required a bit more skill but as it stands im working towards my "epic end of the game weapon" by spamming a THM cc skill on my SCH(blizz 2)... makes no fking sense

also, i dont agree with the "time sink" argument. one person could "sink" 8 hours into the quest and have all 12 pieces. whereas another could "sink" 150 hours and only have 1 piece. the time sink should be equal for all

[Elim]

In theory someone could do this for the entire life of the game and never get all the drops. RNG is RNG.

[MagicJohnson]

the time sink should be equal for all

This is exactly what I'd like to see.

First of all, I love that SE has finally added in content that doesn't have a weekly lockout and actually involves a grind. But this is totally ridiculous I spent a few hours today trying to get one, Didn't get anything. Had some people in the party that had been doing FATEs for 10hrs+ and didn't have any.

I'm not saying it should be 100% drop rate, But it should at least drop from specific FATEs with a low chance. They really need to "Hotfix" the drop rate. With the luck I have in CoB I can see that this will take forever to get all 12 atma.

But I do like the Trials part that is my cup of tea. I like doing content that is time consuming, But I can do at my own pace without lockouts, like Trials of the Magians in FFXI.
