Atma hunting THANK YOU SE!

[SchalaZeal]

Because it's completely random at what rate you'll get the drop? Just because you lucked into getting it early doesn't mean everyone else will. And how you say it really just comes off as bragging.

Reread the guy you replied to.

You go with chocobo + yourself, NOT with 7 other people. You can easily get gold even in crowded areas.

I thought it was only me that found this ATMA thing so damn stupid.

[Arkghyom]

So delicious!

Priorities: Cap Sold Tomes -> T6-9 -> Beast Tribes -> Real life -> Watch anime -> Farm Atma.

I'm going to guess that anyone who complains about the way to get the Atma upgrade never played XI... Seriously, grinding FATES is fine with me, it may be a low chance of getting the drops but it's much more likely you'll eventually get them than it was in XI, most people gave up hope of ever getting one because you had to dedicate your life to the game to stand any chance of getting one.

People are just used to having things handed to them, if nothing is a bit hard to get, then nothing will ever be special in the game. There is always an element of luck in getting loot its just the Atma requires much more luck and rightly so!

If I see someone with an Atma my first reaction now is " ooooOOOOO! they got a nice Atma, shiney! they must have worked hard for that!" If it was easier i'd be like "Meh I can get one of those"

Random people shouldn't have a relic, it's why they set "steep" requirement.
Didn't people complain about how everybody and their mother got a relic ?

Because people want a challange and a reward that actually means something, but when they finally get the option it's suddenly to hard and it's ruining the game and people want their atmas right now.

This, I have never been this challenged in all my gaming life, this quest put my ability to press 1 and even sometimes 2 to the maximum test, I mean I even had to move from place from place and it was tough. I feel like I'm a super expert player now, Twintania was cake compared to this great challenge!

I agree S.E even threw in more lag to make the game more challenging. Isn't that what everyone asked for? More challenging?

I got my 1st drop in my 23rd hour of FATE grinding. It's not that I want them NOW, it's that I want to be making some kind of progress in all this grinding, and I also want it to be a grind for everyone who does the quest, not just the unlucky ones.

For example, if they'd made FATEs have a 20% chance to drop an Atma Shard, and you need 100 of these from each zone to assemble that zone's Atma, I would be much more okay with that, but if they really wanted to get people out in the world doing the content and socializing, they could have made it a quest to complete every FATE that spawns in the zone before you receive the Atma for that zone (they could even include Odin for every zone in the Shroud!). That, I think, would have been an interesting way to get people engaged with each other and the content.

This is just a horribly badly designed quest. The upgrade should be difficult to get, I'm with you on that, but it shouldn't be 100% luck and 0% skill/tenacity, the way it is now.
