Lightning Strikes Event

[Camate]

Hello, everyone!

There were a lot of people that stayed up late to check out the kick-off of the Lightning Strikes event. (I know this because I may have been one of them…)

In case you haven’t had a chance to check it out, I just wanted to give some quick supplemental information on the event to go along with what is on the official site.

• Event phases
  The Lightning Strikes event is split into four phases and will last until December 9, 2013 at 6:59 am.
  Even if you can’t progress as each phase begins, have no fear! You’ll be able to accept all of the quests, so rest easy knowing you can do this event at your own pace.
  
  
• Quest items
  The FATEs for this event where you can acquire the quest items will require you to level sync. By receiving gold or silver ranks for completing these FATEs you’ll be awarded with 2 “Otherworldly Parcel.”
  This will allow you to complete the first and exchange for a weapon of your choice (quest completion requires one item and each weapon requires one item). Please select whatever weapon you like as the quest items in phase 1 will not be needed in the next phase.
  *By completing all four phases of the event, you can obtain all of the armor.
  
  
• FATE difficulty
  As we go through each phase, we’ll be having some high level FATEs; however, we’ve balanced them so they can be cleared with only four people, so don’t worry if the amount of participants decrease as the event is wrapping up.

We also understand that there are a lot of people who are trying to do this event and there may be congestion, so we ask that if you experience this to just give it a bit of time.

We hope you enjoy the event!

Theres still the problem with Lower Levels not being able to participate as the Chain continues. What about those of us who are alt-a-holics and would like the outfits on all our toons?

Maybe you should balance them so they can be cleared with a few hundred people, so that the event isn't so trivial.

The game was designed to cure Alt-a-holicism by allowing you to play pretty much all content with one CHARACTER If I see any cartoons running around i'll be sure to let you know though.

Thank you for the stealth edit, Sephi. :X

Level up....

Very funny. Ever had a real life job?

Back to my statement. I think events like this should be available to all levels, even lower levels. I think that some of the content only being available to high levels is a poor decision in design. Not everyone has the time nor patience to level another character to the required level. In my case I'd like to have both the male and female versions coming from this event. But due to real life time constraints I'm restricted to only being able to get them on my two highest toons; which are both male. (And I have no fantasia.)

If it was designed to cure Alt-a-holicism we'd be restricted to only being able to make one toon per server. Most people like to look at different things while they play through out their time on this game. And.. those who RP also take on different characters for a different out-look on a story.

You have like 3 months to level up. It's not like it really takes that long of a time to level... It's coming back in February with the U.S. launch of the game.

It'd be great if FATE's scaled with the amount of toons. Also, some people just like rolling alt toons. I'd rather re-do all the story quests on new toons than grind FATE's to level all the jobs. That's just me though.

Camate thanks for the post and thank the devs for the event for us (being honest), but please tell them to shy away from fate events in the future for us. Pretty please.
