Aint this what we ask for?

[Arlen]

I'm not completely against the quest and how it is set up. However I would like it to have been challenging and or fun.

How can you post about people whining when you have spent a grand total of 2 hours doing it. That makes me laugh.

[zoeromeo]

yeh I don't know much about it but from the topics I been reading on here just ppl don't like the idea of farming the atmas. and thx for letting me know lol I didn't know that I needed my relic wep good thing I only did 2h. compare to what others have done 10+ hours. I think se will change this fate deal it wouldent be hard to fix tho. I just like the idea of this long farming thing

I don't mind grinds, but detest this RNG grind. I would've preferred a flat (if not boring) complete X fates per zone to this frustrating RNG. I spent twelve hours just in western thanalan to get the atma of twins. I still have 7 atma to go. I think the others I averaged 2-3 hours to get. Others have lucked out and completed all 12 atmas within 10 to 12 hours time frame.

Spending 10+ hours in one zone running back and forth on fate is not a way to accomplish this, I rather go thru it like the 1st relic was.
I did try this and I felt burnt out after an hour of fate and nothing to show for it....

Equip your Zenith weapon. But even when you do equip it, there is a chance you will be there for another 10 hours waiting and hoping the atma will drop. You don't meet people because no one talks. They leave when they get their atma. They even leave the healers to die when the healer was kind enough to heal them (happened to me 3 times, so I stopped healing period). This isn't what we wanted. This is them forcing us to do fates again. That's why it's in the quest to open CT.

You mean buying gil to pay an elitist FC to carry you through Titan?

'cause that's what a lot of people did. That's why we have this.

Would it be better if it required 999 runs of Leviathan EX?

[Calyanare]

Would it be better if it required 999 runs of Leviathan EX?

Yes, because at least with that there would be a progress bar you could see going up, rather than never knowing when you'll get your next drop, and watching the lucky people get theirs quickly while you keep grinding for hours and hours without getting yours.

very few are gonna try to get a second relic atma because this stupid RNG.

I dunno, a guy in my FC is working on his 4th, while I only have 1 drop on my first with about the same amounts of grinding.

[Shirai]

Would it be better if it required 999 runs of Leviathan EX?

Yes and no, as Calyanare sais; At least you get to see some progress instead of hoping the RNG favors you instead of the guy that managed to get a single punch in at the last second of the first FATE they joined after entering the zone.
Content is debatable, personally I think that even though people highly dislike FATEs they chose the right content for it as it is accessible to everyone.
But as I said before, I too would like to see a more honest distribution.

Yes, I have my Atma weapon since last weekend and yes I am happy to be done, but that happiness is heavily clouded by seeing my friends and comrades putting in more time than I have slip into a rage because they haven't even gotten half way.

THIS. I got my 12 atmas in less than 2 days, now i have my atma weapong and clearing my 2nd book and i'm feeling GUILTY because my fc mates are still going for their 4-5 atma... it's wrong, really really wrong...
