thx for making the Atomos event unwinnable

[indira]

heres one of the things that will hold ARR back "restrictive content" not everything should be treat as group only.
if people cant play the game no one will bother.

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.

reason they should quit making everything a broken mechanic in the game you can exploit.

[Raldo]

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.

I can stun him just fine with Wrist Flick.

People complain about those that show up on DoH/DoL, but they do help (if they choose to).

It was sarcasm. :/

doesn't convey well in text, sorry

Have you ever considered that maybe less people are doing the event?

Have you ever considered that maybe less people are doing the event?

On my server thats for certain.. less than half are doing this event now

Have you ever considered that maybe less people are doing the event?

And less are doing it because there is no longer any money in it - abuse/exploit gone, no one cares now. (And atomos still has his buff, and his reduce in seals, and his reduce apperances - so it really sucks for anyone who even wants to try now)

Man has a point.

V1 of this, it was dead in seconds. 3K seals. Hooray! Guaranteed 9k seals ++ if fast
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. Best run I did on this version was around 60 crystals. Worst 14
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. 1 Pop per hour. Less people showing to kill and/or AFK waiting to grab Voidstone upon kill - Lots of deaths

Fixed that for you. I agree, that anyone who hasn't taken on Atomos yet, is going to have some trouble. He's a lot harder without anyone taking part.

With all the nerfs:

-1 Spawn per hour (multiple camps), less drops.

SE should bring back Clusters, for when you don't have one in your inventory.
@ 3000 seals trade in value, for anyone not wanting spam kill over multiple camps, it makes it at least comparible to
Caravans. Caravans (between 3000-4000k seals per hour)

So true, can never seem to get into a party to finish this... i'm just thinking of abandoning it so I don't have to constantly see it in my journal...pfft

[Arcell]

People had over a week to do it, anyone who needs it for completion should already have it and really there's no other reason to do it now. Not to mention during that time it was practically a free kill with little effort.

Also god forbid they should make party content in an MMO. This game has been rather good about "restrictive content" honestly. The higher you go up there's a few things here and there that require small groups but not a ton. Then you hit 50 and end-game where things rightfully require groups.

This event reminds me of RIFT. Tons of random people mashing buttons on 1 super hueg mob, some people die, run back, keep doing it until it dies while 75% of the people participating lag to death and can't do anything/die to aoes/ground effects/adds. (before hotfixes)

Only difference most of the time you can't see the adds and die to invisible aoes due to model-on-screen limits.
