Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[MrSigy]

THIS IS MADNESS!

[Colt47]

Guess I'll throw my voice up here too and say that making people go grind fates in zones for their weapon upgrade was probably the laziest design choice someone could make. Repeatable content has a finite life span, and the FATE system dies once we hit level 50, have no reason to get any more Grand Company Seals except to throw our NPC retainers out to do mission board stuff ala Final Fantasy Tactics, and get access to the beastmen dailies: Which at least award money and shards for crafting.

And yet SE have nothing to say about this, not even "working as intended".

Make no mistake guys, this system is here to stay to help the upcoming PS4 players with FATES.

You know a buddy of mine said the exact same thing. But I digress after finally getting all of 12 of my atmas some taking 9hrs or more per each one I still hate the idea even thought when I got that last atama that I needed I was so excited but yet in still those 9hr spans were brutal and I wish they would fix the drop rate so others won't have to suffer I mean I get the whole random thing but hell when a fc member of mine can get 9 in 24hrs and you can't get one in almost 12hr yeah somethings wrong.

I got 6 in the first 2 days with 200 FATE done, and from that day till now i got nothing, i have 862 FATE done as of today.

Yes, I would love a checklist or a counter. Actually, I don't understand the question. Rephrase?

Because I just would like a better way of keeping track of them. I am not taking this task too seriously. Most ppl I know are done with fates, yet I only have one atma. but then again, when i roll on gear, i usually roll a 7. so i never expected to have good luck.

You answered it fine thanks.
I was just curious if an unexpected victory was just as valued as an obvious one.

I am very disappointed by this patch: Farm the Atma, Farm the Myth for the Books, Farm Leviathan for the Mirror Of The Whorl (the drop rate is ridiculous).
Wake up devs we are in the 2014 (this is not FFXI), and for sure this isn't the way to keep ppls subscribe every month.

It's an MMO. If you're not farming something, you're waiting to farm something.

I was on 6/12 since last Sunday and have not received a single drop since then.

I'd been spending a total of 19 hours since last drop while watching my peers completing first part of the quest.

The word broken is an understatement for the current system.

I'm exactly sure what you're trying to say, I'm sure there is a sentence in there somewhere. However spamming fates for atma is the very definition of 'easy'. There is no challenge to the content what so ever, you just show up, mash a few buttons and move on to the next fate if you didn't get your drop. People aren't complaining because it's 'hard' they are complaining because there is no depth to the process, no challenge befitting the terribly low RNG %.

I would love to farm challenging one on one fights (think Matt from ffxi) for my atma, I could even tolerate fate spamming for an overly long progression bar that I could watch slowly filling up so I didn't feel like what I was doing could possibly go on forever because of a terri-bad RNG.

However I do not think anyone, anywhere in this thread is complaining that the content is too hard. In fact I think for the most part people are complaining that it is too easy and has a horrible reward system.

Not to gloat, But I finally finished this damn quest last night.

I started with 2392 fates and I ended with 3246 854 FATES!. It took me more than 40hour over the last week. This quest is pretty ridiculous, It should not have taken this long. SE you need to fix this drop rate to be 1 in 50 or less. I don't know if some of the players are just full of it but there were a few saying that they were on their 2nd and one guy said his 3rd relic. This isn't really a fair quest across the board, Especially when people had it done in less than 12hrs. Yes RNG is RNG but for stuff like this it needs to be done differently, Its not so much the Fate Grind that's the problem you don't know how long it will take. You could get an Atma the next Fate or 200 Fates later.

The best party I made almost 200k in GC seals so I don't think I will run out of ventures any time soon.
