Community misconceptions in regards to Atma

[darkstarpoet1]

I'll reiterate what I've said before.

Grinding FATEs blows and is not fun. As such, I'm not going to do it. Fortunately for me, there are plenty of other fun things to do in the game right now.

Improve FATEs, or stop forcing them. They present no challenge. The implementation of the Mirror of the Whorl as an upgrade path to an i100 weapon, while still a strenuous grind, at least presents challenging content that you need to be awake in to do.

If it wasn't for the "Relic" weapon progression, I wouldn't care in the slightest, cause I can just get another weapon. I just don't want my job defining item be left behind because of an arbitrary time sink bottle neck.

but that's what people are saying. if you don't enjoy it don't do it yet.

the relic upgrade will be made easier just like the original relic was. originally it took the hamlets, then speed running dungeons, and then beating the primals. the original hamlets are the same as what the atma farm is now. it was great for some while others hated it. it was just a few patches later when those were completely removed and i expect the atma farm to either be removed like hamlets were or at the very least have the drop rates drastically increased in a patch or so.

at this point with the relic upgrade not being the highest weapon in the game it's something you should only be doing at this point if you find it enjoyable. if you don't then i, personally, would be working on the parts of the game i find more enjoyable and deal with the upgrade later once it's been changed. i enjoyed it and i'm working on my second, but it's not because i was lucky. i spent well over 100 hours getting my 12 atma's and only a few books into the anubis upgrade, but i'm still collecting the atmas for my next.

nobody is saying you don't deserve the anubis weapon upgrade by any stretch. all people are saying is that by going by the past that yoshi has shown himself to add something with major time investments only to loosen them dramatically later on. there are multiple examples already in arr of the same thing. he adds something that only the most skilled/dedicated will get originally and then make it much easier later for those with less time or skill to get later on.
