My two cents on the ATMA Issue

[EvilHippie]

I am only at 4/12 and tbh i am ok with this. Yes it sucks. A lot. But we wanted harder content so our relics felt more earned. We asked for this. Stop blaming the Devs. Its Mind numbingly boring and i do sometimes grind while i try to pass out. But for gods sakes they are not going to fix it, so stop whinging and start grinding. Some people are lucky. That is life. If anyone wants to cancel their subs, Please do.

P.S. I like to fate grind these naked. It makes the RNG gods happy.

" But we wanted harder content "

-_- But no one asked for mindless, boring, not-hard, all-consuming, unimaginative, old-rehashed content, time sinks...

I'm down with SE attempt to revive Fates, but RNG sucks, it's frustrating and annoying and its a big problem when Atmas only just recolor your weapon and give you a higher item level where the real test lies on collecting the books and the myth. I'm currently 9/12 on Atmas and for the past 2 days i haven't gotten a single one to finish.. but AT LEAST Collecting Atmas is less annoying than getting a legendary on GW2, so I'm fine with fate grinding....Sorta.

It's simply not fun and frustrating. Very bad game design--surprising, for a game which is so often well designed. Yoshida should make an apology for the lack of effort put into such an important quest series.

Oh please it's not that terrible it could have been worse, like giving Expensive items to a NPC for a RNG chance to get your ONE of your Atma or get rewarded with a bone. I agree it's frustrating, but hey farm one zone for two hours or so if it doesnt drop go do a dungeon for a while.

"We" apparently doesn't include me because I certainly never asked for harder content. Not that I would have minded harder content as long as it was something I could make solid progress on, but this is most certainly NOT "harder" content. It's pretty clearly easier than getting the relic in the first place, it's just a boring, time-consuming slog. Stop using the excuse that "we", which means the vocal minority in the vast majority of cases, wanted things harder, because it is both not actually true and this isn't harder.

Still like people who say stop complaing because its hard, its not hard you genius, thats the whole point, the only factor in this quest is LUCK.

Haha yeah sadly thats what going on the forums yeah, People who say they had it within 12 hours say we should stop whining, i would love for them to just play the hours some of us put in just to get one single atma and see if they still like it,
The quest it self isn't that bad. i wouldn't mind to play 5-10 hours for one drop, but the hours i've put in right now or double towards someone that had it easy and got them within the first day, yet i only have two atma's to show for right now.

Like i said, not giving up though.

This is exactly what I was saying. People that are working on their third like in my FC are all like. "Its cool to me I get one every 20 mins or so". So to them everyone else is just whining. This is just BS I thought it would be addressed but it isnt going to be so I will just play something else.

It.
Isn't.
Hard!

A grind isn't hard, it's a grind. They're entirely different. The only hard part to this battling a random number generator on a string of low level FATEs.
