Thread: Atma changes in 2.3

I have done about 6 hrs so far on getting Atama and nothing has drop. It gets really dull rather quickly
.

Already said that there won't be any changes anytime soon.

I would personally grind non stop on the animus and novus phases till it was done but I refuse to even start it because I aint doin that atma grind bs. Just like others have said, you can see yourself getting somewhere on the animus/novus stages. Atma stage sucks...period.

That being said, I doubt they'll adjust it just yet.

I doubt they'll adjust it at 2.3, but possible at the first sub patch like 2.35 or something.

Will bug me if they don't. Content that is intentionally not fun at all should never go unchecked for this long. The Atma grind is poorly thought out and poorly implemented. No sign of progress and it's difficult to multitask in game or irl while doing it due to having to constantly race around the map. No real side benefits as the GC/gil gained is atrociously low for the time invested. It's a stall tactic designed to prolong subs and nothing more.

The Atma horror story I think has been one of SE's biggest mistakes. It really is tedious, long and boooooooooooooooring. Killing level 5 flans with ruins for 70 hours is absolutely atrocious and whoever that came up with that idea should've really...thought of something better. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound like an hypocrite because I've done the atma quest, I wanted my relic because I like my SCH very much, but the books and the scroll from novus, despite being SIGNIFICANTLY longer, are far more entertaining. I remember, after going through the atma horror story (which took me 2 weeks), I said to myself, if SE does something similar to this a couple times more, I'm out. Good thing they learnt from their mistakes, but they messed it up in the past and can't really fix it now...because if they do people that went through the atma horror story will be butthurt over people having a lot less trouble doing it, and that would be unfair. So they'll probably wait a bit more.

I don't know if its just been good luck to run into the only 20 or so polite people ever to play the game, but I've seen more atma farmers running up on fate and just killing mobs one by one, not flash/bliz2 spamming... Just playing the game. I dunno about others' opinions, but this has been a huge quality of life improvement for me. Only 15/12 atmas so far, but I'm not really hating it at all. If you want the relic options, get in there and do the content.

Should not be changed now thay I've grinded countless hours on 10 atmas.

Um... FATES are the fastest way to gain GC seals in the game
