Too Much Tedium, Not Enough Fun

[Chiramu]

1) don't do atma

You don't have to get the atma weapon, you can run leviathan ex or second coils for your weapon. Of course if you're another casual player then you may be stuck doing atma because atm it's hard getting a competent group for levi ex (I don't want to lie and join a farming party when I haven't completed it :/).

I do think the game got smaller because of the limitations imposed on levi ex and thornmarch, it would be nice if they released them into actual df sooner rather than later.
