atma drop rates

You know, the whole "I don't like this part of the game, we should do something!" and "Don't like? Go play something else" cycle is just going on an endless loop.

10/12 atma.

For the last 12 days I've tried to get Atma of the Maiden for hours per days while taking small breaks to run coil just for fun. Capping Tomes in the same dungeons is a grind. Coil is losing its luster, or I can listen to people yell at each other in extreme PFs for awhile. The atma books sounded really interesting to me, giving purpose to things I haven't done in awhile for another good upgrade.

12 days in Central Shroud... probably one of the most unfriendly FATE spawn areas in the game because of all the running around. It was the last straw for me and I canceled my sub. I didn't pay the fee to spend 80 hours stone walled behind an awful RNG drop rate. I had my fun, but this grind is awful and it's not fun anymore.


Anyway, It's been great SE. I just didn't wanna leave without explaining why. Enjoy all the PS4 subs drowning out those of us who are leaving.

1/12 Atma I dislike the F2P Atma fate content.

I am reticent to drop my zenith in favour of a coil turn 5 or Levi weapon as I have an emotional bond with my relic. This bond was formed during the two months and hundreds of attempts it took me to beat the original Titan HM. That epic fight was great fun. I enjoyed every wipe and beating Titan was a real achievement for me and the others in the winning team. Every one was cheering and whooping for joy before we all ran out to plus one it.

On maintaining the "necessary" Atma time sink, a simple change of allowing Atma to be obtainable while your zenith is in your armoury rather than equipped as a main arm would allow players to use the grind time sink to level an new class/job and thus see some real time progression.

At first I didn't think they were too horrible. It took me about 10 days of only farming a few short hours each day to get my first 12 Atma to obtain my white mage Atma. Now, I've been working on the same thing again to get my Scholar Atma and I've received only 1 single Atma in the last full week of farming. I've even resorted to trying this Japanese farming method, and it doesn't work one bit. I've tried using both my local time as well as Japan time, and neither works.

Starting to get rather annoyed with it as well.

I'm not telling anyone to play something else. Maybe you actually have 12 Atma in your inventory but were unable to see them due to your eyesight? It's just silly that someone wants to go from belly aching endlessly on the forums to trying to beat #selfie and #jerseyshore on twitter with #stopthefarminginARRR

And your point being? Outside of insults.

And that's usually how it goes. From being in the grind "waah" status to finally getting it done and "I did it so why can't you? /elitsm" status.

That going from posting over and over again to a twitter campaign highlights the ridiculousness of what you're all trying to "achieve". Also that you should read posts before reply! You guys are just having a protracted fit on the forums, that's it. Why not create some petition thread so you can organize everyone who actually has a problem rather than traipsing around the forum leaving snotty one-liners everywhere?

Did that read like I was asking why he can't do it? I think it's pretty obvious some people like being upset about Atma more than anything else. My point more was that he didn't even read my post yet vomited out a reply. He is literally spinning on his head at this point. He's in an anti-atma punch drunk fervor.

Most people are because they're not used to actually working toward something. Currently I'm at 7/12, and I've stopped doing it as it has run a bit dry for me lately, but I will get back to it after I'm done leveling my SCH (which I'm having a ton of fun with). I still haven't actually decided what I'm going to atma/animus yet. PLD gear seems the most logical as it's my main, but I did see Bravura and it looks neat.

A friend of mine was on the grind about a week ago, seemed like he was likely to give up and just quit, but he eventually got it. Hearing how good he felt to have it finally done just gives me more incentive to get mine done.

So far other than 3 random atmas I got(one for helping a friend on his book fate and 2 in random I'm walking by mode) I tried farming one in north shroud... 16h in a single zone tanking boss fates as a bard, soloing fates, etc... I still got 0 drops in there.
