Rising Event

Hasn't spawned at all on Masamune that I've seen in any of the three city states.

Boy howdy, broken events are just grand.

Also popped on Omega.

The event was a lot of fun, though I'm sure the moment the NA servers get access to it, the forums will be overwhelmed with "too easy reeeeee, what a joke reeee".
I'll check back tomorrow and see if I was right.


Edit for the post above: It isn't broken. The event is active past midnight for your region. Patience young one.

Of course it's a boring Fate grind.

Still no recruiter on Adamantoise. What bothers me more than the missing recruiter is that SE can't even pop in with a quick update to let us know what the deal is. If it's broken or not completely active until a particular time why is so hard to tell us so we can do something else until it is ready?

If it's active past midnight for my region, why have it go live at noon? Patience would be understandable if they didn't leave the event half open or I wasn't on a Japanese server where the event should've been live for several hours now.

Doesn't seems to be server time either. Still nothing.

Yeah he is showing up in the EU data center. Probably won't see it in primal till morrow. Here is an alt I made on Louisox

Got my White Ravens. Now where is my reduced sub now that I am a legacy player Yoshi?

I checked Anima server (JP) no recruiter there yet.

All we have on Diabolos is a PC named "Rising Recruiter" standing in that location just to prank people.

Apparently this is a popular idea:

Reminds me of my idea for an alt: "Summoning Bell(e)"

Why is this being rolled out data center by data center?

Some have it and some don't.

A dev should have been in here to explain this or at least give an update a LONG time ago.

hmm maybe its a programming bug and it possibly didn't happen on japan, cause I think the event started exactly at midnight on japan, which is the next day o.o and probably no one there work at this time, then it finally started on EU when day changed and maybe it'll start on NA at that time too

edit:
From what I gathered the event started on EU at Germany's midnight that is where the EU servers are located, so the bug probably didn't happened at JP cause the event itself started there at their midnight and it'll possibly start for us on NA at midnight PDT time, that is the timezone where our server is located.
They probably decided to not fix that, cause the event will start anyway and to fix that they would have to restart the servers I believe

It's sunday. NA community team works M-F during PDT business hours.

That being said, if the event was going to be rolled out in waves, or is based on time zones, then that information probably should have been stated on the lodestone information page so people aren't just standing around waiting for no reason.

How do you get the tokens to buy the event items?

It’s sure is a good thing there aren’t other MMOs that just released major content updates so we all have time to wait around on random spawns..... oh wait...

It's likely a bug as not all EU servers have it enabled.

On some servers perhaps, but not all the EU servers. No recruiter on Zodiark when I looked there.

it's live on lamia as of 12 am est.

It is also hilarious. I especially like reviving a certain old penalty. Oh, the carnage.

Coeurl had it up at Midnight EDT. All NA?

Its working on Behemoth. Should be up for NA now.

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.

maybe they're cycling it to worlds/data centers to keep it small since it doesn't take very long and you can just pretty much get everything you need from running it once or twice. i mean why allocate tons of space to something that could be used for other things like Eureka instances?

I mean, if there were going to be technical limitations on the event, why even design it that way in the first place?

Not to mention that no previous event that used Unlisted Duties as its entry point has had this problem.

I don't mind about the random npc spawn but it would have been nice if the attendant npc told you at what time the event would be running from.

The way this is rolling out is a complete fiasco.

Must have missed it. Since, well... nothing ^^"

What could of been an event completed in about 15mins or so for most players is being dragged a little unnecessarily. I feel they could of allocated certain windows for the event to pop rather than having to wait around.

Has any previous event needed to host so many players, though? It’s going to be handled differently if it needs to allocate space for that many people at once, instead of a four-man duty that (I assume) would be logistically like a normal dungeon.


(Still no sight of the recruiter over here, on any of the servers I’ve got characters on. All the same data centre though.)

How am I supposed to have a nromal day or even week plan if I need to sit around for an uncertain amount of hours? This event is as much not real life conform as the fact that my relationship is getting questioned by pagos....
