A possible solution to the ATMA issue!

[Vaer]

I heard another solution from someone in reddit:
Atma cap, either weekly or daily, with a higher drop rate.

But the forums just got done complaining about lockouts...

Be careful what you wish for.

And then they complained that fate grinding sucks and that it takes them 2 days for a atma to drop.

I wouldn't mind the lockout, my monk animus sucks, the levi weapon is better then it.
So in my case, I'm not even atma grinding unless I happen to be :
a) doing dailies and near a fate
b) waiting on a Mining node to appear

I got my first atma from a low lvl fate, and I just did it since it was on the way to the Sahagin area.
Tbh, if the relic upgrade sucks, my question is, why are you doing it now, when you got 3 months until the next update?

Whoa! that's a little steep. I earned about 50k seals over the course of getting my 12. Of course some of those low level fates gave like 5 so if they were higher I'm not sure what I would have earned had they all been level 45+ fates. I don't think 300k seals though. Besides, I was able to use my seals for something useful which made the grinding for ATMA a bit less painful.

I guess it is high, but don't forget that by farming myth spamming first two bosses Brayflox you can get 800ish seals for every piece of armor you turn in. That adds up fast and I have collected tons of seals that way.

For starters, there is no need to double post. It's called the edit feature, it lets you go past the 1000 character limit.

As for changing the way atma's drop, no need for that right now. Right now it is meant to be as time consuming as possible. They already stated that later down the road, possibly 2.3, they will make atma farming easier. If you don't like how getting the atma's work, then don't do it, the animus isn't the strongest weapon you can get right now anyway.

you completely missed my point! My point is a large portion of the community is doing nothing but mindlessly grinding for atmas thus ruining the fun of the game! The solution needs to arrive before the next update.

Here is a better idea, use the time you post on forums on fates and get your atma.

1. if they change it to dungeons its gonna take longer with same drop rate.

2. changing it to treasure maps forcing people to level miner same drop rates longer.

3. even if they stick it on titan Hm same drop rate longer.

you want a harder path than what was given the best option.

All the ideas thrown around here are better then what's already in place -_-

Thanks for that useless post, grasshopper. Some of us, however, don't have the inclination to do the gaming equivalent of learning martial arts in the 15th century.

A certain number of FATEs per region would have been acceptable. As long as we know the target we face. Grinds based on luck is NEVER a good idea.

better solution. leave it alone for now and let the people that enjoy the content as it is now alone to enjoy it. in a few patches make it much easier and faster to obtain so everyone keeps access. this is the type of content many of us have asked for and i'm glad it was put in. the only thing i dislike about the whole quest is that it involves low level fates and wish it was only level40 and above.

Okay Hayward what do you expect SE to do just hand you the atma? Cause I really wanna know what the point is to your argument, you grind up on all your jobs I see you have a lot of 50's on Hayward Timberwolf.

Either way Square-Enix does it, they drop rate is gonna be the same thing, you want the drop rate to be higher so that they drop to you easy you don't wanna work for it.

You blast through the game with all your jobs, though when something comes along you cannot blast through you get upset.

Square-Enix do not buckle to their demands keep it the way it is, I got all 12 of my atma just fine in 2 days.
