Atma/Animus update from Live Letter, puzzling statement made

[TurnBased]

With that said, it’s not that we won’t be doing it in the future, it just won't be right away.

They will be doing something about the drop rate, just not right now.

In short, the amount of tomestones of mythology players can receive will increase to maintain overall game balance, rather than simply reducing the cost of the books.

What I'm taking from this statement is that they will be increasing myths received in order for new players to catch up faster, not necessarily to address the atma/animus grind. Being able to acquire the books is just a side effect.

1. They will be doing something about the drop rate, just not right now.

2.What I'm taking from this statement is that they will be increasing myths received in order for new players to catch up faster, not necessarily to address the atma/animus grind. Being able to acquire the books is just a side effect.

1. thats exactly the point, they are directly affecting the ability to gain the books by increasing myth drop rates. They play it off as a "side effect" but it directly corresponds with the acquiring of the books. more myths = quicker to obtain. So the later half is easier to obtain but still doesnt mean more people will be getting to that point anytime soon. most have just disregarded the quest due to the extreme drop rates, and some have quit the game altogether. It really is in the games best interest to at least attempt to make it a tad bit easier, even a 5% drop rate instead of the 1% would potentially help.

2. This does address that later half of the atma/animus grind, but completely ignores the first step towards getting to use those myths on books. Lots of people dont have off classes to gear up so this myth actually gets wasted on those people.

Update: Just completed my atma book, but my argument still stands or my comrades who have yet to complete it after 50+ hours.

The only buff they applied was to CT and some roulettes. If anything, it will deter players away from brayflox. Min/maxers will continue to brayflox their heart out, while those more casual about it will do the roulettes with buffed bonuses. Seems to me their just adding bonuses to go into content most don't want to do(CT, low level roulette as a 50) in order to carry newer players.

It's not a buff, it's another bandaid to entice people to run all the content all the time, no matter how bored people are with it or how old it is. I really don't like the direction this game has been going the last few patches. It feels extremely lazy.
