ATMA ATMA ATMA

[Spawnie]

took me 3 hours to drop 6 atma when i first started,
then i headed to the middle noscea 1 grinded there for 9 hours no drop, next day took me 3 hours no drop so i thought meh ill skip n come back lol
next 3 atma dropped roughly in 10 fates each 1 so went back to middle noscea n dropped it on 2nd fate lol

out of all 12 atmas middle noscea was a thorn in my side n only atma that took really long for me to drop ._.

[QUOTE=Starlord;2043558].... That's not answer my question again. I'm asking a simple question. Can't we have something in between? SO that BOTH sides can be happy? If I wanted to act like you I could say what you just said back at you. I am trying to find a solution, your giving me a rude remark.

Sure they could increase the drop rate a tad I guess. Also you could threw back at me what I said if the game was tailor to grind/timesink which is currently is not at all so that point is not really valid so it should be 99.5% what you want in game .5% what other gamers that play might like I stand corrected.

Sorry if that previous post seems rude some people can be thinskin when it comes to comments over text responds, but can you honestly not see there are different types of gamers out there, I will say it again majority of this game is tailor to your gaming style not the other way around maybe not completely your style of course, but ONE feature just ONE that is not to your liking and we have to find middle ground really. I don't mine the timesink of the first task for atmas and I don't mind the fast pace/vertical progression of this game either really its a difference in your gaming style and mine when it boils down to it and other's.

I was trying to follow the theory that someone thought of in the Japanese Forum you can find it on http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...arming_theory/
It worked for the Bull and the Ram. And then i tried it for the Twins and it worked I then went after Lion and got that very quickly then noticed that following this theory doesn't really work like i thought it did and that it really is just luck. Tried 4 hours killing fates in South Thanalan trying to get Scorpion. No luck this Quest has made me hate Fates more than I did to start with last year in September.

BAHAHA now i just watch TV as i kill Fates. Taking a break now I'm gonna wait an hour before going after Fish lol

Well really all I am asking for atm is a better drop rate. because as of rate now you have to be really lucky to get past this first part. if the RNG was 10%, I would be okay with that. Right now, it seems like it's 1% or less.

Oh look another thread about this cause there weren't enough of them already. OP all you can do until the next step comes out is either do it or don't, it should be clear by now Square aren't even going to look at it until the next step comes.

Unfortunately, this rng mechanic is the only way that people could do a completely skill-less and mindless task (it's leveling grind content, FFS)... and still claim that they somehow accomplished something.

Without the RNG, it would be an obviously insultingly easy task - with rng that players can't control... even completely skill-less an terrible players can pretend they "deserve" something more than someone else that doesn't have it.

This is not a test of skill... it is really an experiment on self delusion.

got them all in 12 hours and i still agree it needs changing.

what i find most amusing about this quest is that its not even new content, it is same content that was here on day 1. it is one of laziest instances of se patching to date imo. lets look at it shall we? you are doing the same old fates, in the same old zones, killing the same old mobs. after youve done all that and goten lucky 12x times you...
wait for it...
go and do some more of the same old fates (that spawn once every 4 hours), in the same old zones, killing same old mobs, going into same old dungeons oh yeah also now some more same old leves. just to qualify for this you have to run the same old dungeons you probably already ran 100s of times to gather up myth.

at the end of this trainwreck of a design idea you get the SAME OLD WEAPON MODEL. with a slightly different skin and glow colour.

Pretty much yeah, you end up doing the same old content packaged in the form of a book. The book FATE waiting is arguably even worse because you really can't do anything else except wait for hours and hours, unless you kill other nearby FATEs meanwhile for seals if you aren't already capped from the other million FATEs you had to do for your Atma. I'm hoping the next steps will have unique challenges and enemies to fight created specifically for the quest, but seeing how this game keeps rehashing a lot of its resources over and over and over again it probably won't happen.

It just gonna get worst when most people have their Atma Weapon already, some Fates such as Boss is not possible to solo and take very long.
