Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Siobahn]

I'm really curious as to why we haven't seen a dev response to this yet. I mean, it's only the single largest current thread, but for some reason, the dev posts seem to prioritize things like Amdapor music, FC contest chokers, and that creepy/stalker Favour system.

you definitely have more chance of getting it with less people on the fate, dont ask me how or why but theres been enough evidence out there to suggest such. They just need to come out and say whats the deal instead of making people lose countless hours in their life.

Nothing to be curious about as they were easier questions to answer. There are larger threads than this with greater impact that have never been answered. At least your tone here is better than your thread that was removed.

Wouldn't that be the players who are the ones making themselves grind something for countless hours of their lives?

As for a dev response, I don't really see a need for one honestly. And if they did come out and say, "Yes, you have a better chance of getting one if there are less people participating." it wouldn't make the people who are trying to grind it go away. They want their relic progression.

I think the point was more that... so would everyone else. Anyway, personally I've experienced really crap drops while solo, and much better ones while in a group. I think the drop rates may be the same, and it's more of a "whatever seems to work for you" deal. Kinda like how some people have a lucky pair of socks, or a lucky rabbit's foot. I've seen claims that zone hopping often yields better results, being the most recent person invited to a group, or being in a full group is better. That higher level fates have a higher drop rate, and that not being in a group has a better chance. The claims are really all across the board.

It appears that the less people there is at a fate, the more chance you will get it if it drops. It's not a absolute chance of it dropping to my knowledge but it will help. Simply wait til the grinding dies down. Surprised I was able to test this in N Shroud today.

Yeah, well, apparently SE doesn't take criticism well. It's getting old waiting for answers to important questions, only to see the reps respond to threads about things that don't affect playability. Great, we're getting a game system that lets players stalk NPC's. Any word on the Atma situation? No? Exactly.

[Norondor]

Oh, i missed this thread -- i thought it'd be in Quests.

I've offered my feedback (i suppose?) on the Atma/Anima questline in another thread already.

Thank you for your consideration.

All the talk about more chances if his happens or that happens is all speculation and nothing eles.

Anyone who has ever done crafting or gathering in this game will tell you the RNG here is really funny.

There is no better chance if your soloing or if your in a group or if 50 people or 3 people are doing the same fate. Its all "RNG". Everything posted here is anecdotal evidance.

I aleady done all my Atma for my Bard and is now farming the Myth needed for the books. See you all in HM Brayflox farming the 1st 2 bosses.
