Time to move on since Square Enix does not listen to its Constituents

Took them 5 weeks to come out with a rely. Judging by the looks of things, it probably gonna be early June before anything is done. By that time its gonna be 2.3.

To be fair they have the Data, It was even said in the last live letter. Why do you think they held back on the next part until 2.28. It shouldn't take rocket scientist to "Brainstorm" to fix this. All they need to do is adjust the drop.

They are reworking the Novus part.
No confirmation that they change the Animus part befor 2.28 come out.

"I know some of our players have been looking forward to the continuation of the Zodiac Weapons quests that I mentioned in the recent letter LIVE, but the release of these new quests has been postponed. Our reasoning for this decision is, in brief:

•Many players still have yet to obtain an Animus weapon".

I didn't say anything about them postponing so they could adjust anything for Atma/Animus. All I'm saying is that they have the data to know who has obtained Atmas/Animus weapons. And one of the reason for the delay was that •Many players still have yet to obtain an Animus weapon. So they should have already fixed the drop rate for Atmas. So they don't need to "Brainstorm" about how to fix the issue.

As for the Novus part, I'm Glad they are postponing it. Not because I'm only 5/9 books. But because I would rather them hold off and make sure it won't be a cluster flock like Atma quest is.

If only solutions were that simple. I doubt it is as simple as changing one number in code.

What if they don't even want to change the drop rate? Add other options to the quest or go with a different approach entirely? Unless you are part of the Dev team or they actually share the information you are simply assuming.

Exactly, it's not as easy as saying "well we'll make the drop rate 25% now and see where that goes" They can't just make an abrupt change and not see the aftereffects of it

When it comes to levi, that change was easy, they realized it was a bit absent-minded to have pld/whm obtain two mirrors when their objective was for them to get both pieces with one mirror. So they made the easy balance of just having their shield versions drop as completed pieces.

When you look at animus however, they had planned to release Novus, but they held back because they have to balance it as a whole. They can't release Novus because it most likely follows the same laws as Animus and they can't just change animus without first changing it as a whole.

Odds are with the balancing taking place they may open up different venues other than FATE to obtain the atma.

Some examples of what they could do:

-250 Mytho Item which helps in creating an atma through completing specific objectives (12=3,000 mytho tomes to get atma this way)
-give leves a 15% chance to drop atma in said region from any leve mob in said leve of that region
-every 5 FATE completed have a fragmented atma drop which can be turned in to create an atma of your choice (5-10 fragments per atma)

In the end it comes down to brainstorming, they have to look at what's on the table, how they can alter it and then execute it only after they test out the balance of what they have in mind.

We've been playing for almost one year and still they don't get we hate FATEs...

Well, honestly, i think they don't care
