Quick/ Longish note
The previous bug with Atlantis ONLY pertained to loot ticket runs, playing the stages manually worked fine.
The bug was the the monster count was only generated for the first loot tix in a batch; rather than what it SHOULD have done which is generate the monsters for every loot tix in the batch.
WhAt this meant was Atlantis coins were dropping at either all or nothing rates for loot tix (talking either 0 or 50-100 coins from 7 tickets)
There has been no evidence of this occurring in Jan 21 AR.
You can read more about the bug (and the staff statement that the fix was rolled out in V34) in this thread:
[SOLVED] Inconsistent Atlantis Coin Drops Using Loot Tickets (4 Dec: Coins Disabled for the Current AR Event)
Now, regarding the drops in this AR, the numbers have always been low. Like always. And not just low but there is also the random aspect. Random appearance and random # of coins dropped. I know at one point @BarryWuzHere tried getting / compiling data on the coins per flag for his farming spreadsheet but ultimately concluded that there was too much noise and randomness to make any sound statistical judgement.
As a result, every single AR we (forum mods) see threads popping up asking if the drop rate has been reduced / buggy / nerfed.
The short answer is no, there’s not been any evidence to suggest/ show that.
Check some of these threads if you want to know more.
