Possible Alternative to current Atma?

[Delsus]

Another way they could do it is have it as a complete xx amount of FATEs to obtain the atma, they could tie that into lore by saying something like once so many mobs have been defeated (but we would still use FATEs) the aether released by the slewen monsters would react with the Zenith and crystalise forming a type of crystal known as Atma. Also to tie seperate zones into lore they could say "the environment inwhich the aether crystalises seems to affect the type of Atma created."

Actually a good idea. A similar one that I have heard mentioned before. Having people do 50 fates to get their atma still provides the grind, but at the same time, provides people with a visual progression that could ease the tension of the grind.

I was just thinking the same thing. Instead of random, complete 50 Fates in each of the areas and you obtain the Atma for that area. IMO, problem solved. Still keeping people involved in Fates in the open world, still having a longer goal to accomplish, but at the same time giving everyone a clear reward for the job being done.

Yep,

lol ANYTHING that's not this current system I'd love to try cause I can't stomach it and I'll keep trying, not quitting, not unsubbing, but I'm not very grateful for this! XD

I would MUCH rather spend a full week doing 600 Fates (50 in each of the 12 areas) to obtain the pieces needed to upgrade, than to spend the last week doing Fates to have one piece.

This sounds good.
But not only "do xx amount of FATEs in zone z", but more "do xx amount of boss FATEs and xx amount of enemy group FATEs in zone z" or people would only do the easier FATEs.
