Fix ATMA drop [LIKE] Thread

[TheodoreMcIntyre]

Whoa now. I just listed 1 example, as you were, and remain, rather vague of how many it truly took, which was his initial question. How is that 'belittling'?

I worked the Atmas just like many of the people here who disagree with the OP. And it took awhile... certainly. I still don't see why this is a game design problem, largely because its not like ANY end content requires it. You can bypass it completely and still have potential to excel against any opponent.

Just because it's optional doesn't make it a serious game design flaw. No other relic step has the potential to be a pain in the ass that much with absolutely zero payoff like the atma step. Mostly because the atma step is the only step that gives you absolutely nothing of value. That is seriously poor game design. I mean, yes, it does allow you to continue on to the next step, but that doesn't really count considering every relic step does that. There's nothing preventing them from reworking the atma step by increasing the drop rate, or making it so that the base Atma weapon has better stats than the Zenith weapon, or just removing it altogether. I wouldn't have such a problem with it if the Atmas actually got you something better than your zenith.
