thx for making the Atomos event unwinnable

[Maiandra]

I've never seen a party of 8 take on Atomos. Maybe you should try a different camp or even a different time of day.

Even the first hour after the maintenance, there was still a mob at Camp Bluefog (on Durandal). It's true there weren't as many people as the night before, but still more than enough. We did have trouble at Glory, though. Atomos kept spamming aoe's and killing people as they teleported in. But that only happened on the first hour.

Atomos still goes down very quickly (enough time to hit two camps each run). It just takes 30-60 seconds instead of 10 seconds, and it actually feels like a fight against a monster and not just a fight against lag.

Also, the wait to teleport out only takes about 5 seconds now instead of 2-3 minutes. So what SE has actually done is fix the lag problem. Good job! =D

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.

hey guys its SE come on, they are fixing it in 2.0! yay! happy rainbows and unicorns in 2.0 also

Although I took no part after completing the initial quest... I just have to ask... Where were some of you before the hotfix?..

Good to see SE is still making nearly everything in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game cater to cliques of the same 8 "experienced" group of people vs the random PUG groups. When logging into a MMO the whole purpose is so I can actually accomplish something difficult and challenging with DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Yes I mad.

I am not asking content be super easy. They did it once with FFXI, why can't they do it again with XIV? In XI I was able to group with randoms and do very hard (at the time) content. Really do not like the direction this game is taking.

^ Were you guys just not around or are you still trying to profit off of it?

[Raldo]

Are there really servers out there that aren't able to kill this now? Ridill manages it just fine, except during a few dead hours.

So because it was available for a week for everyone, even level 1's to do, it's the devs fault people didn't take this time to pop in and get the quest done? This is "impossible" to you? You had to find 7 other "experienced" people to do Atomos for that week and not just waltz in as a level 1 and collect your prize? Oh, I must've been imagining things.

I'm so glad someone mentioned the above point. This event when it began was so boring and the reward far outpaced the risks. It is way more challenging and fun with less people. Yes the rewards are still high if you can beat him! Now that the whole server is not porting bluefog>glory>everlakes ,we actually have to form parties, watch emnity and play the game.
Of course I loved all the free seals but this makes more sense and has an actual danger element.

[radhaz]

We were killing it just fine last night on Durandal.

Wait, what?

Are you saying you dont want Content super easy, but FFXI was super easy since you could beat everything with a "random group"? But then you want FFXIV to be like FFXI, so you want it to be easy?... i dont understand what you said there.
