Atma Fate System Broken

[SionDurant]

Oh? Where is that? Can you link please?

I've not seen what he's referring to, but in Yoshi's most recent letter posted today he did mention that they delayed the continuance of the Zodiac Weapon saga due to feedback they'd like to incorporate, maybe this guy is seeing that as Yoshi saying it's wrong altogether?

Oh look, yet another thread about this. How unique.

Obvious trolls are obvious. If a troll is obvious after the 2nd response, they're pretty much a fail troll. As always, don't feed them. It's okay to leave them with their last words, because by then you can just trust that everyone else is seeing it for what it is, and it's actually the mark of the stronger person to just let them be and walk away. Just my advice for those getting caught up in it in this thread.

Why don't we come up with a solution instead of stupid trolling and pointless banter? Why don't we present something to SE as a viable alternative instead of RNG? They made the game for us to play why don't we come up with some sort of viable solution to fix what we all know is broken? Something that would be fair, but at the same time will still have to work hard at for what we want? and in this case Atma crystals?? Ladies and Gentlemen the choice is yours! Either leave it alone and continue with this pointless and know problem with the game or do something to make it better not only for us but for future players as well...

You need to check back the forums when Atma was first released.

There are tons of ideas.

I have, and has the issue been fixed yet? I think it hasn't and that is why there should be more exposure by players and other public outlets to make SE take this issue seriously.

Man, I am doing the grind now, on day 4. Everyday at least 4-5 hours and not a single drop.

Things they could do to improve the system:

1. Let you queue for DF AND use your chocobo
2. Fates were fun until I didn't need anymore Grand Company seals, maybe make some sort of seal trade. Exchange GC Seals for tomes or SOMETHING so I feel like I am at least making progress while I grind out these fates.
3. Fates need to regenerate faster
4. I would LOVE if I could use my second class, which needs to be leveled, to grind all the fates...but nope. Gotta have the Zenith equipped.

My 60 days is coming to an end. I will have to take a break so I can work on my massive gaming backlog so I am kinda bummed my last week with the game (until the next patch) is spent doing mindless grinding. I cannot believe I am PAYING to do this. Could I be doing something else? Yes, but I want to finish this quest. So, meh. I wonder if the % drop rate is tied to your subscription fee, do they purposely not drop when you only have a few days left on your sub to force you to re-sub so you can finish this damn quest!? That is what it feels like.

I had not heard of this be-in-the-zone-at-this-specific-time theory so I am going to give that a try.

I dropped ATMA 1-9 rather quickly. From that point I sat at 9/12 (N. Shroud, E. Thanalan, S. Thanalan) for Six days. At the end of Seventh day the N. Shroud dropped for me. Two fates later, Eastern Thanalan. About 8 fates after that, Southern Thanalan. The struggle is real, RNGesus is a prick, but don't lose hope.

If you don't like the atma grind I don't suggest working towards animus, just drop it and buy a soldiery weapon. Though I think Novus is a lot more casua than atma/animusl, albIET more time consuming.
