ATMA nerf

[waldo]

Someday yes, when new players come in and hit this point of the relic quest it'll be a big time roadblock to advance content. Doubt SE would risk turning off new players like that. Who knows though.

'unique snowflake' BS

Yeah for someone like me who does and very little free time on there hands due to my work some content needs to be made easier not to mention FFXIV had a lot of special gear like Coil gear or even gear from the Lighting event or even the XI and Dragon quest cross over. In my FC there are a few players who enjoy it because it reminds them of how XI content was hard, you know what else that content had? Ultima boss fight where the boss had a move so strong players would have to sacrifices a tank and run several rooms away just to avoid a wipe. Yes we need Atma to have a better RNG timer its insane to think I can spend 4 hours in a zone and get nothing doing every fate that pops but when a friend I invite to help make it more bearable and her gets atma after two fates while I sit empty handed in not fun.

They would eventually. When? Who knows...

Then don't focus so much of your limited play time on something heavily reliant on RNG. You can only spend 4 hours and get nothing because you chose to spend 4 hours trying. With the wide variety of content in this game there is to tackle, you have other options if you want faster (or less reliant on RNG) progression. Sorry, but you can't expect to have everything be obtainable in the time frame you desire. I'm pretty sure this game was not designed to make everything go so quick that people like us with moderately busy real life schedules could have everything they want out of the game and lose all reason to keep playing.

Will they, and should they increase the drop rate? Sure. But not right now. It will probably come along with the Novus update, which seems like a reasonable time for it... but then I'm sure people will find something to complain about with Novus and then you'll see 1000 different threads of 'unique snowflakes' calling people that already have it 'unique snowflakes'.

So much QQ over a 2% drop rate. Man I didn't realize there were so many people playing this game that have never played a RPG before.

[Shneibel]

they can make it once you get animus, you can buy atma from NPC...otherwise, farm atma for 9 weps can be pain in the ass

echo buff do basic nothing, Just kill T5 faster, but people keep die from mechism echo buff simply does nothing.
Atma farming by fates its not hard, but its boring after few hours/day and stil have 0 drops

It does actually. Gives MT more HP to absorb death sentance. Gives more damage to burn conflags, snakes and DKs. Plus more HP so less people needed to soak fireballs thus even more time on conflags.

Last Saturday I dedicated to atma farming according to atma time list. I got 7 atmas in 14 hours. Previously I got two atmas by simply doing dailies. Pretty good drop rate in my opinion.

[Yumi_umi]

I got 8 atmas in 1 sitting of about 10 hours. I felt like i was a zombie for fating that long. It was past 12am pdt so there were barely anyone running fates so it was just me and my choco lol.
Honestly this is BS for people who can't play this long, i felt so lucky after my previous attempt of trying to obtain it back at 2.2 launch. So honestly they really need to fix this and make it less grindy. Also lol wtf is with the whole " special snowflake " comments? It sounds so dumb lol. Ppl here are trying and that's what counts.

[Sapphic]

Will SE make it easier to obtain ATMA in future releases? If so, I would like to hold off farming ATMA

If they nerf ATMA, it will be harder to obtain.

If they buff, they increase drop rate.

So which one you asking for?
