Rising Event

Well, I guess that was an amusing diversion for the 10 minutes it took to get everything.

I’m on a Japanese data centre. The overall event went live at ‘roulette reset time’ last night, but I’m yet to see a recruiter NPC. Nothing on Typhon last night.

Currently camped out on Unicorn server waiting to see if it spawns at a time of day. 6:00 Eorzea Time has just come and gone.

They needed to add some seats along with the stage so we can sit down instead of standing around awkwardly.

Though, talking of the stage, I wonder what it’s for? Other than for people to amuse themselves while they wait for Godot.

Also does anyone (who was fortunate enough to get in) know if you can run cross-world parties? If it’s based on Eureka programming it should be possible, but it hasn’t been mentioned.

I have a character on JP Anima. as of 22:20 PST, no recruiter.

I did log out and in at the Inn bed, sadly there is no "heck the bed option".

Maybe they could have moved the Moonfire tower here to keep people occupied...

(Though I’m not sure it would fit.)

That was a lot of fun. I'll do this again even though I already got more than enough tokens just because
1) It's just fun. Super casual because you can just keep re-spawning and get right back into action thanks to the small map and no death penalty like a certain other mode with 144 players, which means I can go with any friend I want regardless of their skill level.
2) The fates count towards the do X number of fate achievements while being fast to spawn from one fate to another and little walking.
3) It gives exp and I have some 50's jobs I can bring.

The whole NPC thing aside - they did a good job with this, at least I think so.

Rising Recruiter spawned at nine PM Pacific Time and has apparently despawned around midnight. Instance is only available in three hour intervals, I guess.

Which isn't a good thing if that's working as intended because people who aren't online for the right 3 hours miss out. Hopefully we'll start to see a pattern that will accommodate all players regardless of when they can log in.

So perhaps it's something like different worlds getting a chance at different times, to ensure everyone can get into an instance when it becomes available? Instead of sending the servers into meltdown as everyone tries to do it at once.

Although if so, it could really do with some kind of "X minutes until the event begins" person you can talk to.

As if XIV's developers are capable of that sort of foresight.

This whole Recruiter despawns thing is pretty freaking annoying. I heard that the respawn timer is 3 hours, which is INSANE if true.
