thx for making the Atomos event unwinnable

[Vanguard319]

All the various ways the devs could have dealt with people exploiting the Atomos event for seals and gil, and they chose to make Atomos all but immune to stuns. They would have been better off ending the event early rather than making it so difficult that PUGs can't even complete it. Hell, why not reduce the number of seals gained?

Killed it fine with a balanced party of 8.

I'm not talking about a balanced party. It's not like this is Garuda or another major battle for prestige gear. It was supposed to be a brief event to celebrate the GC founding. The fact that individuals and parties can all target it at once is kind of proof that the devs didn't intend for the quest to require a well balanced party, and like I said before, there were other ways they could have dealt with the exploitation.

Man has a point.

V1 of this, it was dead in seconds. 3K seals. Hooray!
V2 maybe 1K seals if lucky. Less people came, harder to kill. I died often enough that it cost me more to fix gear than the amount of seals I was earning made worth it.
V3 - tonight, first time since newest nerf. Went to Atomos, not even enough people there to kill it. Just lots of death. I died twice. Third time, I said forget it, back to Caravans for seals.

I didn't know that Atomos showed up solely for the purpose to celebrate the GC founding. o.O

Because he didn't, atomos was a thing before the GC event

I never said that, I was referring to the current seasonal event. (the one awarding seals for killing Atomos)

It was sarcasm. :/

V3 is a by-product of the community. SE can't control the community, so don't blame the devs for what greedy human nature is all about.

GG "Squenix", you panicked the same way you did when AV & PW(ffxi) received "hot reviews" from amateur writers and recognition from the press who didn't know dilly-dally squat what was a MMORPG.
