Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Jonny_Tapas]

We didn't like waiting for FATES during the Lightning Event!

When we went to unlock CT we continued to say

"SE we do not want FATES tied to progression!"

Yep beastmen quests... We don't want fates here!

It's not about being long or grinding or any of that.... It's about FATES being tied to progression!

WE DON'T WANT IT!

OK?

Get it?

The only thing about this that makes me happy is we finally have to work for something... I just wish it was by some other means.

FATES grinding is just the worst idea possible.

We hate FATE!! its a poor content!

So True and it will drive players away from the FFXIV!

And not having those kind of grinds did drive ppl allready away from FFXIV and now is catering to those, which were about to quit if they don't have any timesinks soon.

You need to realize that it goes both ways. The unweathered Weapons is an Alternative way to get a strong weapon. If people do not like to grind, go get those.. or Levi Ex Weapons or even High Allagan. Or is there something wrong with those weapons? Like you have to do something to get them, right?

i agree that fate grinding for atmas is a bad idea i would much prefer a long story based quest for the items because at the current moment there are just waves of op lvl50 characters finishing the fates faster then a plaque of locusts very disappointing that square did that

[Failsafe]

After running this areas very low level fates for 10+ hours, I've yet to get an Atma of the ram. Its so boring my head hurts and it seems like I'm never going to get one. I would just like a cap for the number of fates because anything over 100 is just stupid. I can grind with the best of them but they need to have a mercy drop in place so nobody ends up running 500 fates in the same area. Just saying, after 100 there is no enjoyment left and it is a game after all....

We gonna all end up with a burnout syndrome!

SE really should rethink their strategy, just look how popular CT was and still is and have a look how many are trying to get the relic upgrades instead of coil groups...
So many relying on the 3rd pillar but all they get is a slap in their face...

Speak for yourself. Fates/Public Quests/Public Raidbosses/Legendary Monsters/etc... those things are awesome. Instancing has ruined the MMO by segregating all the players and dividing them into 'classes' based on if they raid or not and how often.

I seriously laugh at anyone who plays an instance-heavy, raid-heavy "modern" MMO and call themselves "hardcore," after I played Lineage II during the early days before they, too, gave in and implemented instancing. Some of the best moments in MMOs ever came from watching giant alliances duke it out over who would get to face the raid boss of a certain area. We're talking 200-400 players fighting each other for hours just to claim a boss.

Granted, I was not that kind of player and so eventually I burnt out because I couldn't keep up, but still... no game since has been "hardcore."

EDIT: To be fair, while I like FATEs, I don't think grinding them for Atmas was a good idea, at all.

In fact I have no problem with SE doing all these but....

WHAT, no Animus status available in 2.20 other than Holy Shield?

Well SE, if you want to restrict i100 weapon to either grinding levi and fight with RNG for the mirror or clear T7 for the Unidentified Allagan Tome (UAT), erm you could at least allow us to have the Animus like at... i95 right?

Same 12 Atmas to grind, and make us do 4 books of the braves and eventually get a i95 Relic Animus with stat and weapon damage upgrade. Then you can introduce the next 5 books in 2.25 for further upgrades to i100.

Then, I really don't mind. The disappointing moment is when I finally got my Atma weapon and traded in the 1,500 myth tomes that I've saved up to realize even if I complete all 4 books now, it's still no better than my Allagan Weapon

[Issachar]

I got my 12 atma in 57 fates, sorry.

[Kazorfes]

I was on 6/12 since last Sunday and have not received a single drop since then.

I'd been spending a total of 19 hours since last drop while watching my peers completing first part of the quest.

The word broken is an understatement for the current system.
