thx for making the Atomos event unwinnable

[Vanguard319]

All the various ways the devs could have dealt with people exploiting the Atomos event for seals and gil, and they chose to make Atomos all but immune to stuns. They would have been better off ending the event early rather than making it so difficult that PUGs can't even complete it. Hell, why not reduce the number of seals gained?

Killed it fine with a balanced party of 8.

I'm not talking about a balanced party. It's not like this is Garuda or another major battle for prestige gear. It was supposed to be a brief event to celebrate the GC founding. The fact that individuals and parties can all target it at once is kind of proof that the devs didn't intend for the quest to require a well balanced party, and like I said before, there were other ways they could have dealt with the exploitation.

Then you should have done it in the week+ it was incredibly easy to do.

I do agree they should have just ended the event though.

Actually, I got the achievment right after the first nerf, but the fact they made the event far more difficult for the latecomers isn't right. The only reasons I still do it is for extra crystals/seals, and also to help out the people who still need it. See, I'm not a parasite, and I don't agree with the whole "I exploited this event when it was easy and got what I wanted, to hell with anyone else" mentality that some of the people on this thread seem to have.

Man has a point.

V1 of this, it was dead in seconds. 3K seals. Hooray!
V2 maybe 1K seals if lucky. Less people came, harder to kill. I died often enough that it cost me more to fix gear than the amount of seals I was earning made worth it.
V3 - tonight, first time since newest nerf. Went to Atomos, not even enough people there to kill it. Just lots of death. I died twice. Third time, I said forget it, back to Caravans for seals.

V3 is a by-product of the community. SE can't control the community, so don't blame the devs for what greedy human nature is all about.

V1 of this, it was dead in seconds. 3K seals. Hooray! Guaranteed 9k seals ++ if fast
V2 maybe 1K seals if lucky. Less people came, harder to kill. I died often enough that it cost me more to fix gear than the amount of seals I was earning made worth it. Best run I did on this version was around 60 crystals. Worst 14
V3 - tonight, first time since newest nerf. Went to Atomos, not even enough people there to kill it. Just lots of death. I died twice. Third time, I said forget it, back to Caravans for seals. 1 Pop per hour. Less people showing to kill and/or AFK waiting to grab Voidstone upon kill - Lots of deaths

Fixed that for you. I agree, that anyone who hasn't taken on Atomos yet, is going to have some trouble. He's a lot harder without anyone taking part.

With all the nerfs:

-1 Spawn per hour (multiple camps), less drops.

SE should bring back Clusters, for when you don't have one in your inventory.
@ 3000 seals trade in value, for anyone not wanting spam kill over multiple camps, it makes it at least comparible to
Caravans. Caravans (between 3000-4000k seals per hour)

Not sure where you are coming from on this. I didn't do Atomos V1 much at all. V2 I did rather often and after a 1800+0000 Spawn and camp jumps I could come out with upwards of 60 Crystals for a nice 15k Seals and even at a low turn around at least 3~5k seals total. My have not completed the 500k achievement, but getting seals was extremely fast/easy. Fairly sure if I had done more V1 I would have easily hit the 500k achievement and then some.

V3 isn't anything about how hard it is so much as how few actually do the event now. Compared to upwards of 30~40 destroying Atomos you got maybe 5~10 if they even showed up for the purpose of killing it.
