Patch notes up and no adjustment to Alexandrite acquisition/Hunts

Yes because 250 days to obtain 10 Novus weapons is too easy and not really time consuming. (Thats getting 3 alexandrite per day.) (300 days to obtain all 10 novus in the current system, for gear you can easily get from Shiva hard instead.)

To obtain the previous 9 Relic Zenith weapons after patch 2.2 you simply needed some mythology and could obtain easily 1 relic per day. Now it takes almost a year at a steady pace? If you think thats balanced then i dont know what to tell you.

This would be a valid argument if it were not for the fact that SE stated they were making it easier than it was, and ended up making it harder. They did the opposite of what was said and it didn't take more than third-grader math to figure out that would be the case.

So the "constantly monitoring" of players' progression by SE doesn't make sense.

Patch 2.4 they obviously want everyone to catch up, but not catch up too quick. I see this as a great divide IMO particularly on my server that is Legacy, because Legacy typically means end-game focused, so while those of us had really bad luck getting any Atma weapon pre-2.4 we are going to be even further behind if we manage to even get an Animus/Novus before expan$ion (I still don't know which comes first) because everyone else is on the higher tiers.

How am I supposed to focus on Alexandrites when the rest of my FC are focused on i130/i135 and I am still on an Atma weapon? Do I have to solo grind to a Animus/Novus/Nexus etc? The i110 weapon grind for a Sands Of Time was awful and is not enjoyable.

This would be a valid argument if it were not for the fact that SE stated they were making it easier than it was, and ended up making it harder. They did the opposite of what was said and it didn't take more than third-grader math to figure out that would be the case.

I'm glad to see other people capable of seeing the big picture. Well put. (not sarcasm.)

Ppl cried for an atma ease, because the rng there was to bad, they got what they wanted + making novus easier obtainable by increased alexandrite drop conditions by fates

I think it is too early to ease this section of the relic quest. Was it not just in 2.4 where the atma drop rate was eased? They will make alexandrite easier to collect, but just not this soon maybe 2.45. And if you are going for all relic novus like it sounds you are, good luck with that, 4 sets of pre-nerfed atma for 4 weapons nearly killed me O.o

making novus easier obtainable by increased alexandrite drop conditions by fates

When was the Alex drop rate in fates increased? It's news to me. It's still 1% as far as I know. If they made the Alex drop rate the same as the Atmas they would still take much much longer to collect - 12 vs 75.
