atma drop rates

[Ceetee]

According to the latest 'Letter from the Producer', they aren't adding the Zodiac weapons in the next patch, BECAUSE not enough people have obtained Animus yet. So to those of you saying "Its supposed to take a long time", I don't think that argument is going to fly anymore, because it is taking long enough to collect that it is delaying patches.

... the release of these new quests has been postponed. Our reasoning for this decision is, in brief:

• Many players still have yet to obtain an Animus weapon.
• We would like to incorporate feedback regarding the difficulty of the Zodiac Weapon quests.
• We are working to increase the number of locations where materials for the next upgrade can be obtained.

However, this also tells me they were intended to be more accessible then they currently are, and they might be altering it to increase drops to a far more reasonable rate (I assume on par with typical item farming).

With the amount of QQ these drop rates are having Yoshi P should just sell them for myths. 1500 myths each. hoooraaaayyy definite progression. :] R.I.P Novus relics.

It sounds to me like Square wanted to make Atma "easier" by having them as RNG drops so that no one would be met with a roadblock like certain bosses could do. Funny how that turned out.

that made me sad.. i have holy shield/curtana animus finished and just turned in 12 more atma for bravura atma.. so i guess ill rush animus #2 b4 2.28

I got my first atma in 2 hours, but i havent got another since. Ive done 105 fates so far and have 1 atma to show for it. A part of me thinks that SE has a warped sense of humor.

i have and still no drop weeks have passed over 300 fates lost count, to get a better weapon you need to buy it ..but of wait you need super hard coil drop, or just do levi or wait you need the other ex primal that are just as hard to hope for a drop in chest roll , wow and i pay them for this content.
i just want the atma system to be fair and balanced . im am not asking for it to be handed to me. but quest or task to be rewarded how about a number asigned to how many fates performed will get it.
basicly this was just to fill the lands for the ps4 launch. but the fates end very quik i feel sorry for the new comers who fates grind for levels to me that was rewarding new level new abiltys to use

I stopped farming atma at 55 hrs - 8/12, last week. I tried today in hopes it got fixed with update. I got 2 atma in 1.5 hours was so excited then spent another 2 hours in lower La Noscea with no drop. So not sure if things are changed, however appears SE just delaying Relic updates to give more time to farm and not caring much for it's customers.

Did you even read the live letter? The devs are delaying the next patch until they can figure out a way to make the Atma/Animus quests more accessible to people so that more people will have their Animus weapon by the next patch.

Yes, I did. One reason for the delay was quote: "Many players still have yet to obtain an Animus weapon". Many haven't gotten their atma weapon because farming atma's is messed up, or did you miss the first 15 pages of this post?

update:

finaly 12/12 - took 61.5 hours total
longest atma: 21 hours
fastest atma: 10 min

before this last path, I was 8/12 at 55 hours. After the update i got 4 atma in 6.5 hours. So for me it seems to go faster after patch. Whether it was just luck or not, we need more information.

good luck all

Grats! It was luck farmed a total of 6 hours yesterday and not one atma.
