No changes to ATMA?

[Radacci]

I've been patient enough, thanks. I've spent 20 hours in hell known as "Southern Thanalan" with no Atma to show for it. Yet I have friends who have gotten all 12 Atmas in that same amount of time. This system is an absolute joke.

ppl spent 20 weeks in turn 5, with nothing to show for it.
Animus is as option for those that cant do 2nd coil, or twintania and LeviX for that matter.
Shouldn't be quick and easy to get in an afternoon.

You delay a content patch, and acknowledge issues with the system.

Delayed to adjust Novus.


Did you really need to make yet another new thread about Atma, when you started 3 others?

• No changes to ATMA?
• Possible Alternative to current Atma?
• Can't deal with Atma
• Please change Atma

Atma is fine the way it is. People are just too impatient.

It really is not...

Change what? Follow chart, get atma.

Got all but like 3 of my atma going by this with little issue. Actually have a bunch of dupes because of it as well.

Speaking as someone who has his atma and animus shield, that entire cheat sheet is pure hogwash. It's circumstantial and anecdotal at best.

Nothing has been verified to work and it's people who got lucky at those hours that got an atma that say "oh em gee this works!!"

It's pure rng. Bout it.


Coming back to the topic at hand I must say I had a chuckle when I read patch notes and saw no changes after they delayed the novus part of the quest and one of the reasons was to implement changes to the current atma/animus situation.

Such is life.

Except... 20 weeks of turn 5 alone will give you 1000 myth. which could be used to (suprise) buy i90 gear. 20 hours of atma farming and that next fate still has the same low% of giving you a drop...that you use to get a weapon that is different in name/appearance only...that you now have to spend 13,500 myth (45+ hours of myth farming, as well as the actual requirements to complete the books) to upgrade.

that's a pretty bad analogy. You win T5 you are guaranteed loot while if you win the fate it's all or nothing. Plus where are people getting this "people want it quick and easy" shit from? The system too all control from the player to progress to a luck base system.

Tried it. If it actually does anything (which I sincerely doubt, considering it still hasn't even made clear which time zone is taken into account), it's an insignificant difference.

It makes me laugh how impatient the playerbase of this game is. You can't have everything handed to you.

It makes me laugh that people like you still think this is about patience and getting things easy. Get it through your thickhead, is neither of that. People are more then willing to spend time to get something, nobody here wants things handed to them either. The point is simple, the RNG system is flawed and grinding boring as low level fates is not a fun experience. I much rather have a hard, long and difficult quest line where skill and my actual class skills come into play and then at the end getting a reward that I worked for.

Instead we have this. Lvl 10-20 fates grinding endlessly with 1-2 skills at our disposal hour after hour waiting for that 1 Atma to drop.. yeah..not fun. You know why spending 20 week in coil 5-9 isnt a problem? It is fun. I have no issues with the RNG system in dungeons and raids as they are fun to do. I don't get my item, no big deal Ill wait and repeat and have fun in the progress. With Fates... I do not. I wait, I repeat, I wait, I repeat, I wait, I repeat, I wait, I repeat all while pressing 4...4..4..4..4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4..4 on every mob(4 has my insta cast low lvl bio on it) waiting for that potential atma...
