Tri-color Flag

I've been waiting a bit for my tri-color flag to pop for Foundation Day and it doesn't seem to be happening. Even after my six achievements popped, still nothing. Is there another requirement that I'm missing, or is something broken?

Update: Tried everything I can think of. Event's still on, have all applicable achievements, got seals from every company, even went as far as to join Limsa. No tri color flag proc for Moose :(

I got mine just fine by popping three fireworks after getting my free seals. Maybe you had to do it during the initial run of the event, before it got extended with 1.19?

People didn't use fireworks and still got the Tri-color Flag. (look at achievement pages)

Only thing I've noticed is people usually get the Tri-color one before they get their single flag after joining a GC. So, there has to be something done before people join a GC.

My only guess now is spending seals at all three GCs before picking a GC to join. Since that is the only thing I have not done, and unable to do after joining a GC.

I guess you posted this after 1.19, right?

The tricolor avatar is for those who did the event PRIOR 1.19. After 1.19 the avatar is the salute one.

I experienced a similar issue during the Foundation Day event. Although I received the tri-color flag avatar on the Lodestone, I did not receive the Grand Company salute avatar. I completed all of the requirements and received all of the achievements available but the avatar is still missing from my profile.

My guess: The avatar probably didn't appear on my Lodestone page because I joined a Grand Company just six hours before the conclusion of the event (and, of course, the Lodestone takes forever to update character history). By the time my achievements updated, the event had already ended.

It's disappointing to see that SE only offered the Foundation Day avatar for the first few days of the event when Foundation Day ran nearly two weeks after patch 1.19 was implemented. This is something that should have been awarded to every character that participated in the event. It's also disappointing to see that the salute avatars are only available to those characters who joined a Grand Company, and received the achievement, during the Foundation Day event.

I guess I'll just have to rush through the upcoming All Saints' Wake so I know my achievements move to the Lodestone correctly and hope that I can complete everything available before SE throws a patch into the middle of another event.

I feel your pain; I did the first part of the event (enough for others to get their Tri-Colors) before the change-over, and you'd think that I would have gotten it then like others did - but when I wrapped it all up after 1.19 came I jumped right to the salute.

It's a shame, I really like collecting these :(

Anything you can do to (Help us out!) Lodestone? <sniffle>

Update: When I logged onto the Lodestone this morning, after collecting the first three pumpkin heads from All Saints' Wake, I took a moment to look over my achievements; just to make sure they were updating correctly.

At that time, my two most recent Lodestone avatars were the tri-color flag followed by the first pumpkin-head avatar. When I logged back on about four hours later the Grand Company salute avatar had appeared between these two.

Obviously, I'm confused.

Either it takes nearly two days for the salute avatar to appear on a character's Loadstone page or someone fixed whatever issue I was having. I'm hoping it was the latter and that those players who missed out of the tri-flag avatars, due to patch 1.19 or Loadstone issues, will see their issue resolved too!

Nothing fixed for me :( But congratulations! It's been 2 weeks for me so I guess I'm just hosed. So much for cross-city pride. I guess it's 'Til the Sea Swallows All' from here on out.

Anony Moose, you have it too! It looks like everyone's Lodestone finally updated correctly.
