Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Pinworms]

I just don't understand some people. So many people want grinds like there was in ffxi and they added it to this game and people moan. This system isn't ground breaking and no different than ffxi's sub job items and the coffer keys as far as rng go. People didn't moan about that system and it was actually harder on rng because other people could roll on the items or keys you needed.

This stuff about doing x without a death or in x time - no thanks. That's not for me, to me that is epeen crap, and I don't care for it. Everyone likes a different type of game and in an mmo it's hard to please everyone. SE has given people a different route to get a weapon and this is one of many ways. There no problem in this method. If the drop rate was increased you would have everyone and their mom in a new shines weapon just like the original relics...we saw what happened there. Even SE said to many had it.

i agree that fate grinding for atmas is a bad idea i would much prefer a long story based quest for the items because at the current moment there are just waves of op lvl50 characters finishing the fates faster then a plaque of locusts very disappointing that square did that

[dragorian]

well ppl wanted wep upgrades like ffxi well here you go

FFXIs grind was fun for a long while like dynamis. This stuff is just uncreative reuse low level content.

I really feel like a static goal would have been better here. Even if it was obscenely high, at least you're working toward something. Just tell me to do 1000 fates, I'd be cool with that. RNG kills me because I require progress to be motivated. Instead, any fate where I don't get an atma was completely wasted because it didn't count toward anything. And even if I do a hundred fates in a row, I'm no closer to my goal, because I still have the exact same chance of getting an atma as I did in the very first fate I did. I don't care if FF11 had RNG grinds out the ass, that doesn't make it right. And no, I'm not asking for easy relics. Make it as time-consuming as you want, I don't give a shit. But its extremely demotivating when I've seen people get 4 or 5 atmas in an hour or so, while someone in my FC grinded fates for almost 9 hours straight and got 0. Why was 1 hour enough work for them, but not him? Why should the content be easier for them?

Please excuse my caps but I'm about to yell at the top of my lungs!

I HATE FATES!!!

Please add an alternative way of getting atma, like... Beat extreme primals or something... I don't care, but please put it in a dungeon.
I know there are other ilvl100+ weapons out there, but I like my relic and I want to upgrade it... But if you keep forcing me to join these boring fates, I will quit this game. I play this game to adventure with people, not to stand around alt tabbed for hours

Funny have you even tried to get atmas yet? Because this is the most ive played with other players since launch. Every zone is filled with people doing fates, made some new friends. Your playing the game wrong i guess

[Vladislav]

I HATE FATES!!!

day 3 , 5 atma so far , so yes I TOO HATE FATES!!!

[Nayto]

Ya know... it could be worse.


We could be pentamelding an ilvl90 base item to turn in... like 1.xx relic. Imagine losing your gils... JUST LIKE DEATH PENALTY!

some times i get them quickly with 30 mins, other times it takes 3-6 hours, i do wounder things like do the amount of players doing the fates lower your chance or something

[lordparanoia]

I don't think it's completely random.
My friend just do 4 or 5 fates per area and get his atmas. I have to do +300 fates per area.
It cant be just luck.
This method sucks if you're an unlucky player. And SE doesn't care it you are a good player. Thank you but no thank you.
