Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[skaterger]

6 hours to get one atma is my longest time. I've heard some people have been farming since the servers came up and still haven't gotten one. That's almost 24 hours without a drop, which means something is up with the drop rate.

Yet I have 4 atmas from about 3 hours of farming and there are a couple in my fc who have 12 atmas already. Fun fact: Rng is a bitch, learn to deal with it.

It's funny, because you're trying to take players who are more than willing to take on a real challenge instead of grinding enough FATEs to level another class and throw them under the bus.

When people aren't happy with something, they are gonna complain about it. And farming FATEs for endgame gear that involves no challenge other than "how many FATEs can you do without having nightmares about them" just so happens to be a hot button.

I'm glad that you enjoy your rate of success. I'm glad that you wouldn't care if you had my rate of success.

But I don't, and I will not change my feelings on the matter just because you're a little upset about what is being discussed on the forums today.

But here's a tip: If you don't like what you're reading, then don't! Go and play the game and have fun.

It's funny because there's no challenge in end game tier content either. You are only investing time and that's exactly the same thing you are doing with these fates unless you're telling me that you already down Turns 6-9 and Leviathan Extreme.

There is also a chance that the FATEs drops being so low could be a "bug".

Emergency Maint. in 2 hours :P.

Which would be hilarious if true.

No one is trying to change your opinion on anything. You stated yours and I stated mine. You stated you want a challenge, so if they made it so you would have to clear titan ex 100 times, that would be a challenge? Anything you do long enough will become a grind. And here's a counter tip: I am playing the game, but alt tabbing to the forums for breaks. You know there're so many more things that you can do make it less grindy: Don't be so focused just into getting the atmas, look around the surroundings, change zones once in a while, go do the new dungeons, fiddle with the glamours, no one said you had to get the relic within 1 day of the new patch or it will be gone forever.

so because your bugged on the higher end of the rng and the vast majority of other people are on the lower end of the bug where nothing is dropping it should stay as it is just for you? hope they fix it with a .1% chance and remove/reset everyone's atma's

Believe it or not, I wouldn't mind if I hadn't gotten a single drop. I have played enough mmos to know how rng works, some days it works some days it doesn't. I also hope they reset it and make it 0.01%, the tears would be delicious.

hardcore elitist tear taste the best, especially while they fate grind at low level area

This would be me you are referring to, and yes I KNOW I have horrible luck, that is why I tend to avoid games, and other relaxation time things that are purely based on luck. 115 fates (in western thanalan) since patch dropped and zero atmas.
(side note: Dealing with a RNG is not making you a better player, just a more persistant one)

At work, I call it persistence....when I was in school I called it that...when I played sports... persistence... when I play a video game: tediousness. =-(

I guess I consider persistence to be anywhere that you believe your dedication will pay off with something that is worth the time invested, that will help you grow as a person. I've never really applied it to entertainment. I certainly am not persistent in watching movies- I walked out of Twilight in the first 15 minutes....I guess I am NOT a "leet" Twihard....

Unfortunately, FATES don't even help make you a better player =-(

oh I completely agree, do not get me wrong. I was responding to all the "stop crying over RNG, and just grind it" thinking. I personally equate this FATE grind to chewing glass so that you can visit the mildly hot dentist.

Not sure what they can be fixing but it obviously has to do with " All the worlds". Currently, outside the Low drop rate of Atmas ( which could be a likely candidate), I don't see anything wrong that needs fixing ( at least on my server.) I do hope the drop rate is better. right now it seems like it's sitting at 5% drop rate. Changing it to roughly 20% would at least have the people that are 24hrs without a drop to have a drop hopefully by the 2nd or 3rd hour. Luck is luck however, and everyone needs it :P.
