Atma and state of game

[RyuDragnier]

Having just completed my Atma weapon a second ago, I realized just why we're expected to do FATEs to get them. It's a test of desire and patience, to see which players are the most willing to take the time and effort to farm all those FATEs for the upgraded weapon, regardless of the odds. For those of us who are able to take the patience to get it, we have what it takes to max out the weapons, and have the 'honor' of being one of the few to hold them. Or something like that anyway, it was a random possible epiphany moment.

You're think too deeply.

the current set up is just a Gate to prevent too many players from getting their ilvl 100 Relic until 2.3 and 2.4 is released. As stated already the Relic will get new Upgrades each Patch which means the ilvl 110 relic is in 2.3. When 2.3 hits we will most likely see a increase in drop rates to Atma or the Drop rate removed so it can be placed on the ilvl 110 Souls in 2.3 and that players can start working on Animus since the actual expect rate of people entering Coil 2 is not meant to be at a high population until 2.3 when CT 2nd raid is released for more ilvl 100 gears and Relic ilvl 110 Quests is released.

Even if players get Atma now they still have about 1 month worth of work to get the stats the real ilvl 100 relic being Animus since Atma stats are still the ilvl 90 Relic until yet get all 9 book upgrades.

Only benefit for getting Atma and Animus before 2.3 hits with the ilvl 110 Relic is that players will have a head start if the RNG god allows them to get their Atma in 2.2 within the 3 month until 2.3 hits from now.

Umm... no...
The Atma is gradually upgraded...
Complete one book and the Atma get a stat upgrade...
Complete another book and you get another stat upgrade on the Atma...
Complete all 9 books and you have the max stat upgrades...
Then you can exchange the fully upgraded Atma for an Animus which has an additional stat upgrade.

It's only until you complete the first book that it's the same as the i90 Relic Zenith...

You sure sing a different tune than just a little while ago.

Hope you aren't that hypocrite with that elitist attitude that looks down on people with worse luck now that the rng gods decide to smile on you. I apologize if I'm mistaken, but this complete U-turn and the sound of your post sure sounds that way.

He understands now that a hand-out would be the inferior option.
