PLEASE CAP THE ZODIAC DROP RATE

Atma 8/12 (got 4 after patch) Sorry can't feel your frustrations guys.

Then again, maybe it is a blessing.

Most of the conversation in my FC chat seems to be complaints about the range in this game now. There should be nothing in the game with range so bad that someone can get it on the first attempt yet many people have to spend 50 hours+ grinding content to get it.

I have personally decided that I need a break from it. I asked myself while grinding "Am I still having fun?" and the answer was "no". So when my subscription expires I am moving on to another game for a while.

And people where complaining about grinding out bonus stats, abilities, or talents for customization. Which aren't even RNG. Yet they got them Zeta's or are hunting them.

I don't think you understand the culture of these forums. They don't want to grind ANYTHING. They wan't the entire game to be catered to people that only play 6 hours a week, and if you play 10 hours a week. Well sorry buddy your SOL. They aren't happy with having some things that are easy and some things that are hard. Or having some things that are quick and some things that are grindy. No, ALL of it has to be easy and NOTHING can be grindy. I seriously wouldn't waste your breath. We are outnumbered my friend. as long as less than 75% of people are doing things like zodiac weapon and final coil. SE will always cater to the majority.

It would be nice if SE would at least comprimise a little, but probably won't happen. Expect the next relic weapon to be significantly easier to get. I myself will just enjoy the game for what it is, a decently fun game till you get to the end of the story where it quickly becomes too easy and boring.

Please stop using "grind" as a synonym to "RNG". Grind is completely fine, but one person finishing the grind after 1 run while another person puts in 50 times the effort and gets nothing due to RNG is not.

Almost everyone gets a couple drops in 1-2 runs and almost everyone has a couple dungeons they have to run 20-30 times. Some cases more extreme then others but still, why cry about it? The zodiac and zeta steps combined are still easier than the not RNG nexus step. especially before they nerfed it.

Because you're unable to visualize any progress..

It's like the experience bar, let's assume that it takes 5000 kills to gain a level in the game on average.
Instead of having enemies give 1/5000th of the exp needed to level per kill, if instead you rolled a RNG and had 1/5000 chance of leveling up upon killing a monster it should result in similar pace of progression for the entire player base as a whole. (technically, RNG needs to be less than 1/5000, but let's just assume it's accurate)

With an EXP bar, you can see how far you're from the goal, how far you've come. However, with an RNG system, you have nothing to gauge your progress upon. That's what drives people to insanity.

People need metrics, numbers, whatever it is to gauge their starting point, final goal, current position..


Navigating the World is a much less daunting task when you have a map, even if it doesn't change the path traveled. Why do you think they show the World map with current position on airplanes? It's not for the pilots.

Yea because no1 ever complained about the animus books, or alexander part, or the nexus part. Don't try to fool people into thinking this is anything less than people don't want to grind stuff.

no that's a given, it's part of the game.. But the Zodiac part seems to be the most exacerbated, I've heard of people going for 100+ runs without getting the loot, now that wouldn't be fun no matter what.

The reason there so many threads about zodiac is it's the only step that hasn't been nerfed yet.

Sounds like you are the one who has a problem with grind then, not those you accuse of it. Light farming is grind, yeah. No RNG, though. Work for reward. That's fine, though. I've no issue with an honest grind.

RNG tends to screw some people over more than others. It doesn't miraculously even out as you seem to think.
