Devs - Is the Zodiac questline going to be nerfed in the near future?

They could alter the current animus process in two ways.

Just add leves in the area as another means to obtain the atma.

Add leves and make a "counter" to obtaining the specific atma by completing set amount of leves.

This way you keep the FATE system as it is, but for the people who have 99 leves they can burn maybe 10-15 for each atma. This would make the path to obtaining the atma much more clear since they would have a clear visual of when they would obtain it, however if they didn't want to burn their leve charges like that then they could just continue to do FATEs.

A system like this I believe would open up the right amount of options without tweaking the current setup to much, since FATEs can be done as many times as one pleases it's current drop rate would be a fair balance to the token based guaranteed drop of atma that the leve side of the journey would provide.

You want something unfinished released and patched later.

It is finished.

What I'm proposing is a concept all MMO's have done for over 10 years.

Release as intended. Then proceed to fix and change as needed in a following update or patch.

If you're gonna keep quoting me at least put some effort from your part.

hmm i do like this idea :3

Isn't it more ~300?

290-315 myth a day assuming youve unlocked all roulettes and capped solidary. its 340-365 if you didnt cap solidary and doing expert roulette. +15-46 extra myth a day if you are doing your daily beast tribe quest as well (46 is only if you do 1 low 3 mid and 2 top dailys and ignore going 3 mid and 3 top as 1 top gives 7? solidary). So after running all your dailys, 2-4 speed runs of bray and youd be ~500ish a day. 2-4 hrs max depending on all your teams speed and success.

Also, that being said, this isnt really the optimal way to farm myth. it just helps casual players who don't speed run bray for whatever reason.

note: just giving the numbers. lol

Any fool can farm 1500 myth for a book. IMHO this is 1000 times easier than trying to get a party together than can clear Titan (Hard).

270 runs of brayflox. 31 hours if they're 6-7 min long. If you haven't even gotten to that point yet, you really have no idea what you're getting yourself into.

I don't know about that. Titan HM w/ echo is honestly carry-able if one tank, one healer, and two DPS are any good. I've DF'd it several times over the past week and each of them resulted in a completion.

Effort? You are the one taking it personal, using a demeaning tone, and demanding clarification beyond reason.

I was finished with my first comment in this thread. Nothing has changed and I'm moving on.

It is finished.

"We are working to increase the number of locations where materials for the next upgrade can be obtained," doesn't sound like finished to me.
If you are looking in incorporate feedback into something, you also aren't finished.
If something is considered to be changed because of feedback or because something else didn't work as planned in the previous phase, it isn't working as intended.

I don't want a product that goes "hey, we have this new product, which you can have now, but its going to be recalled in x amount of days, so not everything is going to be the same." That's entirely different from releasing something and going "hey, we released this, but after doing so, we found out that this is broken and we need to fix it at x date."

The thing that I find OH so hilarious is that there are threads from the same people saying "stop whining about Animus, you just want it now," are now whining about not getting Novus now. The only difference is you got your weapon to show for it earlier than someone who may have actually spent more time doing the stone grind and actually got to do the books.

The hypocrisy (directed in no one in particular in this thread) is hilarious. "They said it would take a long time," sure, but the it ended up being "It will take a long time for some of you, some of you will get it tomorrow, and the rest won't see it until Final Fantasy 16 is announced. Please look forward to it."

What the hell... can I DF with your some time lol? Every queue I get into either wipes pre heart or screws up with 25% echo...

I just want to get to ifrit/mog/leviathan -___-

I think you mean Extreme instead of Hard Mode then? =P Because yeah, Titan HM nowadays is a breeze, with a lot of people ilv90 he goes down quick. Titan EX on the other hand.... even with 25% echo still needs patient people who knows Titan's rotation.

[Kyros]

A nerf would mean that the challenge or difficulty of the content has been toned down. There is no such thing in the Atma quest, just luck. This isn't a nerf, its a fix. They can't nerf something that already poses no challenge short of being mind-numbingly unfun, but they can fix the quest.

Another way to look at it is the Coil chest fix. Was fixing the loot drops from the 2 coil chests a nerf? No, nothing from the content was nerfed at that time. Did people that got "Lucky" start crying how they nerfed their item now that coil had a fairer loot distribution? Do you understand how silly that would be? That is what this cryabout looks like.
