ATMA: the worst thing ever made on A Realm Reborn

[Markko]

Final Fantasy XIV version 1.0 has a lot of worst thing and then A Realm Reborn replaced it. Now for the first time in this new version of Final Fantasy XIV we got the worst thing ever made: the ATMA.

Three long weeks doing FATE for 3 hours at day. This past week-end I played for over 15 hours. Well, I got only 2 ATMAs after all this time... There are people that got all 12 ATMAs in just a very few days.

I thought that this game was about dedication, but seems is just about be very lucky an this is not the kind of entertainment that I'm looking for in a videogame.

For many, dedication=time.

[Derun]

I agree 100%,

I really wish they would do something to change it.

It's not like 1 or 2 people are complaining about it, I see different people complaining everyday.

Optional or not, if this many people complain then something has to be wrong with it.

And there are PLENTY of way to make it the way difficulty or even harder w/o the annoyance of a RNG determining the entire thing.

I deeply resented atma until I heard the news of CT2. Now I am fine with it

[Derun]

Whats the news?

Took me 40 hours, and over 1000 Fates to Collect all my Atma Stones.

It is not easy to collect them all. It takes time. Dedication. And most of all remembering that each stone you collect is one step closer to being done.

There is nothing wrong with the Atma Quest.

Say for the sake of argument they changed it and made it so you had to kill a boss for each stone. RNG is taken out and its now a guaranteed drop of the stone for each player. Restricted to One Atma Boss fight every 40 hours. 12 fights in total.

The ilvl requirement SE sets is 60, and its put in Duty Finder

But Here is the Kicker.

It's like T7, requires at-least everyone in ilvl90 and one mistake from anyone wipes the raid in most cases. .01% room for failure. Instant kill Mechanics and you can fall off the platform like in Titan. Oh and its a 10min Hard Enrage timer.

The same people who complain now, would complain about this.

More that likely by the time 2.35 rolls around you will see a nerf to the Atma/Animus quest line, no sooner.

You really don't get the point, its not about the time or the dedication. It the fact that the only thing you are fighting is a Random Number Generator.

Its basically rolling a 100 sided dice until you get 100, then you have to do that 12 times, o and you have to do something that is incredibly boring(I am sorry but most fates are either kill this big bad or kill a bunch of small monsters)/repetitious in order to earn even one dice roll.

Also if you don't get that 100, you have nothing to show for it besides the opportunity to try to earn a roll again.

[Duuude007]

you have nothing to show for it besides the opportunity to try to earn a roll again.

Maybe you have nothing to show for it, but people who play the fates smart get lots of other stuff done simultaneously, while waiting for the dice to come up atma 3.25% of the time.

Yes, I know that percentage is rather specific.

[Valmar]

Yes FFXIV: ARR is a casual MMO

Yes the players who dont have a lot of time to play this game complain about RNG with Atma's

But A Relic Wpn is susposed to be rare. A Feat of great Accomplishment.

This was destroyed in 2.0 when everyone had a relic wpn for every class. It was no longer rare, no longer special, no longer a relic.

In 2.2 they changed all that.

And yes it is like rolling a d100, but roll it enough and it will come up 100, twelve times.


Getting your Animus Weapon is not a test of skill. Its not. At all.

Its a test of Determination, persistence, perseverance, it is a test of Will. A Will to not quit. A test I passed. A test that many people failed.

[Derun]

Maybe you but people who play the fates smart get lots of other stuff done simultaneously

What kinda stuff?

Serious question, maybe it can make the grind less boring?
