Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[HeroSamson]

I have all jobs 50 and I wasn't complaining about this Atma Quest, because I have to have all relic animus.



For one no one ever said getting atma was hard. ITS LUCK simple as that. Two teleporting around does not effect your chances of getting Atmas, I spent 9hrs+ in East Shroud and never teleported once.

Edit I also did 11/12 of my atma solo and it took me 40hrs+ to get done.

Did I say it's too hard? I didn't say it was but people are asking for other means of getting it besides fates or higher drop rate to make it easy. dungeons will just make it even longer. SE said it would be a long process. so anything they change it too will be longer to get, fates are best option.

grinding fate is easy already.. raising drop rate don't make it easy.. only make it more fair for ppl.... instead of a differences of 1 fate and u get it and 1028310293810923 fate and u still don't get it... to say 1 fate and 10 fate differences

You're right, but your direction is skewed. First off, RNG is a terrible way to lock someone out from completing a quest, let alone advancing in one. Secondly, the quest design itself is terrible. Having people grind something that they've been saying is boring/unfun/mindless and despised being forced to do (like CT quests.. that were only 4 FATES), for a minute chance that they might obtain one out of twelve items that they need in order to start on another quest that requires copious amounts of time to complete. All this coupled with the fact that RNG does its job far too well and creates an unfair rift where people can get the item in 4 hours while others (like me) literally take 72 hours to get all 12 of their atma. Causing further discord within the community because lucky person A got his in 4 hours while frustrated unlucky person B had to farm 18 times longer to advance to the same part in the quest, now farther behind due to the design itself.

Completely fair, how could I have second-guessed your amazing wisdom /sarcasm.

We don't want it easy.

We don't want it monotonous.

We want a fair system in place that shows progress. Something you can say "I'll make sure to complete this much of this portion of this quest today, and go do something else" and actually complete something and move closer to the final goal rather than never knowing if you're any closer to your next Atma at the 10th hour of grinding Outer La Noscea than you were at your first. By all means, make it a grind. But make it fair and meaningful, not something people get by being "lucky".
