dissapointment with gamescon interview

[monochromicorn]

Well pple CAN always go the whole UAT > Sands > Soldier Wep way. I mean thats an i110 weapon in less than 1 month.

i got my 110 for my pally in a 2 day (mon/tues) hunt grind. its isnt about getting gear, its about how theyve let i go for so long the way it is, like it really isnt important how unhapy people are with something that allows them to put so much time in for no progress. they dangled it in front of us, and made it to where it is completely independent of the amount of work you put in for it. the ability to have it costumizable at later stages is another of its draws.

some of the people who get atma quick have no idea the kind of pain it is. i have done 2 hour (3 on the weekends) sessions of non-stop fates. im not waiting for a certain one, as someone advised me not to do. im not putting in a little bit of time, and im putting in way more effort towards atma than a lot of people. and its not about it being easy, im not expecting that either, but it should be possible without this level of grinding. it is a viable, feasible weapon, one we will most likely continue to build upon. the problm is that its been broken almost since the day it was implemented. since i got my first zenith, i have grinded fates for a total of (lets round by a few days, and drop the extra hour on the weekends) 90 days X 2 hours per day= 180 hours. if that isnt enough fate grinding, and ive only had my 1 atma since the last friday. so, lets say they do fix it soon, does that mean i should be happy that theyve taken so long to fix something that is so obviously broken?

Given the nature of RNG, it's possible that you can spend an entire play session and not get anywhere with atma. For some people, that's being generous, as they've gone days, weeks, months without getting the drops. That's why I never bothered with it. I dislike logging off and feeling like I didn't really do anything but waste my time, because let's face it, FATEs aren't exactly fun or rewarding.

[Noshpan]

It took me over two weeks of FATE grinding before my first Atma showed up. I was lucky with RNG to get the other five over the course of 1-2 days. I still have six more Atma to go.

[ShinigamiKayla]

sooo Atma came out in 2.2... I got it by the start of 2.3 got animus half away by 2.3... and just now Finished Novus before 2.3.5 its not impossible to do o.O and I had horrible drops for a 2-3 month period lol

I honestly don't believe the OP has been working on it as hard as they say they have. Most people that I see genuinely complain about the drop rate have at least broken 1,000 fates, the OP has not. If they truly have done this for 2-3 hours per day for 3 months, they would of broken 1,000 quite easily.

I'm coming up on 3k without having all my atmas

I'm coming up on 3k without having all my atmas

My only point was they weren't working on it as much as they claim.

[SweDDishB]

My idea was in addition to the RNG, also to be able to purchase an ATMA for 50k or 100k GC seals. (They would have to raise GC seal limit of course). Its not like you wouldn't have been grinding something to get all those seals.

That or just make it so there is some sort of visible progression to obtaining ATMA for people who are truly unlucky with the current RNG. There's nothing worse than playing for "X" amount of hours and have nothing to show for it.

Even if they took out the RNG and changed it to every 100 Fates in the zone you obtain an ATMA. Then at least I would know the quest will take the same amount of commitment for every player.

Its not fair that some might complete the quest in 250 fates and others do over 3k and have nothing to show for it. Not that the game has to be fair. =P

[Duuude007]

its a very hot topic, as there are so many different experiences, many like mine.

Funny, we seem to see the same small circle of people bringing it up. According to the pads census, thousands of others stuck to it and have at least 1 weapon (even many novus by now), or gave up and moved on to other similarly potent weapons.
