Atmas.

[Bhuni]

Is the Dev team seriously that unimaginative we're doing the same old rubbish from 2.2?

I never took much issue with the RNG i was rather lucky and got my Atmas within five days but I just don't understand why Heavensward and beyond is the same old same old aren't MMO's supposed to at least grow and not be stuck in the past?

Relic really should of been in 3.0 as it wasn't built to last until 3.1, yet here we are finally being able to begin the new Relic chain that has been pushed back into a mini patch and there doesn't seem to be any creavity.

Perhaps I'm wrong and that the further stages will be a breeze of fresh air and we don't have to do those damn books again, but I can't say I'm very hopeful judging from Heavenswards structure.

All that seems to matter nowadays is Mounts, Minions, Emotes and the team seem happy to keep reusing the 2.X formula with a different shade of magnolia.

Did they already say we need to farm atmas again? I didn't see any specifics in the notes.

The game isn't even up yet and people are already whining? Just give it a shot, if you don't like it, don't do it, complaining about it before it even goes LIVE is a waste and honestly, pretty stupid. Atmas weren't as bad as people make them out to be, I spent over 90 hours on my first weapon alone, and completed 3 Zeta weapons. You don't even know 100% if those are atmas at all. Could be something else entirely

Did you actually read my post properly? it's more so about the lack of creavity than Atmas as I said near the beginning I never took much issue with Atmas back in the day, but I guess you just wanted your babble to be first reply or something :/

You just made a topic complaining about content that no one has even been able to play yet.. you serious?

...this? o.o Why are we talking atma again I mean where does it even come from? o.o

They need a reason for people to do fates in 3.0 zones. They've been dead for a while, and even when they were popular (after the first xp buff) it was only churning mists and hinterlands on my server. Now even those don't happen. If you want to level a dps class, your only option is to wait in the dungeon dps queue.

Thus, atma.

There also seem to be relic phases that require running crystal tower and alexander normal, judging from the new items. As usual, relic quest is all about repopulating content that has started to become vacant, so players not on the relic quest can find party members for that content.

Patch notes indicate new items that are themed to each of the 3.0 zones with fates in them. What else would they be?

Sure smells like Atma to me.

I just did a word search for "atma" in the new patch notes.... zero results found.

Not saying you are wrong, but if you are basing this on something, I'd like to know source. I think many people would assume the patch notes since they were released very recently.

It seems like there are tasks to do though definitely. Things to make. A few new items to farm. Something in diadem I suppose as well?

I saw nothing about fates or atma, there very well could be but, I saw nothing new to indicate there were so far at least...

Edit:
Oh you mean those things. I've seen stuff in the game like that already while gathering, well things named similar.
Who knows...could be.

That could mean some instance battle, a chest battle, a LEVE, a Fate, anything....
