Community Ignored about Atma?

[Rextab]

what losttemplar6 said.
they acknowledge that many haven't completed it. its not for lack of trying. from my experience with it so far, and from checking around the interwebz, the system needs adjusting. 12 random drops with very low drop rates? thats a bit obsurd for something needed for "progression". i have farmed fates for hours...not a single one. nadda. zilch.
another problem is how fast you can grind fates is proportionate to how many people are grinding in your zone. most zones on coeurl seem absent of ANYONE doing fate grinding. it has made leveling subjobs a pain...and then this end game grind.
one thing that might improve it is let people fate grind for the item as a subclass. at least you are working towards something. a more powerful subclass. every time i go atma grind it feels like time wasted.
i am playing the catchup game. i need to be doing dungeons/raids for gear. that has a definite reward from doing them. praying to the RNG gods...that just feels a bit foolish.

so lets not do anything bout the drop rate so more players can get there atma let alone start working on there animus weapons lmao we just postpone the update with the same broken system

More time spent grinding means longer subscription. I turned off my auto renew after reading the live letter. They have till my subscription runs out to make this fun again. I tried binge fating tried fating an hour a day. Unless I have nothing better to do i'm done fating. 8/12 and I consider that being lucky.

Yeah the design of atmas is broken.
Were they desperate to get players to be going back to fates?
EX Primal drops and be done with it, would of been a challenge as well but far more enjoyable

really it came down to how to get the level 50s out of mor dhonna and give the world a more populated feeling for the new players comming in from the ps4 launch both the launch of the ps4 beta and the launch of the atma farm fit to close together to just be chance

This is true, but what others have mentioned is that they should have let us get Atmas while leveling another class. Of course this still screws the people who have already leveled everything to 50...

I've known from day one that I didn't like this grind and I've never grinded, I still do fates when I run around doing other things but I HATE FATE grinding, the level syncing, the claw your eye out boring, I just don't do it. I think my solution works, just not doing it. 0/12

Unfortunately, it created 2 problems: 1) High level players are farming in areas meant for low leveled players. This makes the level 50 players feel incredibly bored doing content that offers no challenge to them. 2) New players feel alienated as they watch all these maxed level players rushing in and completing events before the new players can get in on the action.

i dont believe that was squares intention but i do agree with what you said i personally imagine one morning the devs where sitting around drinking coffee and going hey so what are we doing about the relic quest being expanding and then all hell broke loose as they all got a wicked smile on there face and screamed fates lmao i do think that they should have said hey run 100 fates and you get a atma run 20 of certain dungeons get a atma run 50 of certain guildheists get a atma least then the level 50s could actually help the lower level community by teaching mechanics for fights and so forth and least given a few more options to access the content

[losttemplar6]

on a positive note though i finally finished getting my whm atma and almost have enough myth for my first book so keep the faith you will get them to drop still have 3 more atma weapons to get so far bard sch and sum so ill still be at the fate grind myself

I personally haven't seen an atma in over three weeks. It's as if after I got my 5th the game just decided it was done being even remotely kind. I nearly burned out on just the first 3, where as the 4th & 5th were gotten by just randomly trying to do a fate in a zone and getting it in only a couple tries. Now I'm on the verge of burnout again so today I've chosen to fall back on my "few tries a day" method. Today has been a bust.
