atma drop rates

[ElHeggunte]

What? People are complaining, and rightfully so, because they are running around doing every FATE possible and still not seeing an Atma after several hours of grinding. There is no real "wrong" way to go about doing this so I really have no idea what you keep going on about. No one wants the weapon to just be handed to them, we just want a reasonable grind. Or at least a grind where your chances of success aren't based on chance.

A grind is fine as long as it's done right. The books leading up the Animus? Long, but reasonable because you directly control your rate of progression with your own skill. The Atma grind? Ridiculous by comparison because there's absolutely nothing you can do to influence the drop rate outside of doing every FATE you can and hoping that the roll of the dice favors you sooner rather than later. About the only "skill" that takes is a huge amount of patience.

Players and game companies alike need to stop mistaking tedium for difficulty.
