Can you please Ease Up on Atma now?

[Thayos]

I agree with most people here... it's time to increase atma drop rates.

A friend of mine is a new player, and I have to tell her to stay away from the Zodiak quests because I don't want her rage quitting out of frustration. Farming atma was already difficult when FATEs were being swarmed by hordes of players. Now that FATEs take so much longer to complete, the grind is just that much worse. It's at a point right now where it's just not worth doing, and it walls off an entire quest line (which is way more satisfying than the initial atma wall).

Ease up, SE. This isn't new content anymore. It's time to crack the door a bit wider.

The rest of the grind is better since there is actual progression that you can see, everything you do is one more step closer to your upgrade. You know you are getting closer and you can see you are getting closer.

Atma on the other hand, there is no guaranteed progression, you can do 100 FATEs and be no closer to the end goal than if you had just started the quest 5 mins before. You can say that you can see progress as you collect the Atmas, but that's equivalent to completing a book, the FATE grinding is equivalent to doing the things in the book. Difference is, you have no idea how long it's going to take to get the Atma, however you can see the progress in the book.

Also, not all 27 book FATEs are rare, only about 5-6 are, or at the worst, 1 per book.

If they ease the drop rate on atma's yes to me thats handing it out like candy. There is nothing wrong with the atma drops they are fine player's just need to realize that not everything should give you what you want when you want.

2 things happened that got you those 12 atma in 24 hours. 1. You did fates non stop for that entire day. And 2. RNG blessed you. Of those 2 thing the major contributor is the rng, without it blessing you, you would NEVER have succeeded.

You need to realize people aren't asking for free atma, but rather a tangible grind that they can make progress on that isn't 100% rng.

I disagree with you all. The atma drop rate for me is fine and you're winning lots of gil while farming it. But meh, everyone always want things the easy way.

Please explain how it would be the easy way?

Just because it was fine for you doesn't mean it was fine for everyone else. Also, noone is asking for it to be easy, or take 1 hour, etc. We just want a grind that has a definite end and isn't 100% reliant on RNG that might like you or dislike you for no reason.

I'd be down for a region progress bar that increases as you do fates

Because one shotting lv. 5 FATEs is such a testimony to insane player skill....

I see the following coming.

Ninja weapons have a different upgrading scheme than old ones, so nobody can take his wakazishi from normal to zenith to atma the same day he reaches 50


Everyone wants a better weapon, but not willing to invest time into it. Atma grinding sucks. But NOBODY forces you to do it.

Atma grinding sucks.

It's a GAME we play for ENTERTAINMENT.
Content shouldn't "suck"!
