To those worried about not having their animus yet

[SionDurant]

Are you calling all of the people that have farmed Atma for 60+ hours with three drops lazy?

Laziness has nothing to do with it, it is pure luck. Grats on having gotten it spending less time than others, but it doesn't give you the priviilage of accusing others less fortunate of being lazy.

Don't even bother, people that defend Atma are just goblins that want the rest of the community to not have the shinies they were lucky to get, or some kind of bizarre white knight from XI that feels like this is a stealth Tanaka resurgence and want it to be so.

Did I enjoy XI? hell no.

This needs to stop. There is nothing in the zodiac quest line that even remotely resembles the relic quests from XI. It's fine if you didn't like the game but please, this comment just makes you sound ignorant and vindictive.

I personally loved XI, despite its flaws. I also think the zodiac quest line in its entirety reeks of developers trying to cut corners. Stop trying to generalize others.

Completely agree on every point. Also a former XI player /w 2 relics.

[JTribal]

on the contrary, I have 2, and ive gone long hours trying myself.

see, THAT was a hyperbole.

I don't need you to tell me what a hyperbole is, but congratulations on your two Atma drops.

My point is that the entire Atma thing is not fair because A. It's not really testing someone elses skills and B. someone that has spent the same amount of time grinding as you have may have their weapon while you only have two drops.

It's called having empathy, try it out sometime.

[DarkStar]

It took me about a week and a half of grinding, at two hours a day, to get all my Atma. Am I glad the grind is finally over? Heck yeah. Do I think the grind is just fine? Heck no. It needs to change. There were times I got so frustrated with the grind that, in order to keep from breaking my keyboard, I had to quit playing FFXIV and go off and do something else. I'm personally hoping that when 2.28 goes live, they at the VERY least, lower the Myth costs on the books and/or increase the drop rate on the Atma. Just making the books cost 1000 Myth rather than 1500 would make that part much faster, without needing to 'nerf' the actual challenges. Though, personally, I'd prefer the Atma drop rate buff. >>

The entire purpose of this thread was to complain about people complaining about atma drops. I'm curious as to what you thought the outcome would be.

Relic in XI was also something aimed at the very hardcore players, it wasn't something everyone could get. Many players knew they weren't going to get it, and they were ok with it.

It's a pretty bad comparison all around.

[IfritReborn]

Given the 2.25 letter, they need to flush out their intent behind the relic weapons. Are they intended to be acquired quickly? Are they intended to be acquired by everyone, regardless of raid status, by these patch releases? Etc

It's very clear now they want everyone to have it and to earn it in a week tops
