New Alfgar Live Event

Anyone seen a new Alfgar event since patch 1.21? i was under the impression every big patch new Alfgar event. So i don't know if their is a new one but thought i would ask if anyone seen it or done it? Thanks

I have yet to see anything, perhaps 1.21a will bring something around.

gotta wait for the holiday event to end.
The invasion quests never seem pop during a holiday

Hah! I totally forgot about these until this thread. Thanks for the reminder

No but have anyone seen this going on? http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/4220/redcrystal.jpg many players in my linkshell have report of this happening to many areas what could this mean?

that what me and my linkshell are thinking most of our linkshell member saw them everywhere from LL to the other two city.

Also that red crystal been in the dats for sometime now i think sense the 1 or 2# patch that the live event was starting.

@Malakii i agree i just saw it 3 last pic from the pdf maybe 2# stage = eorzea people finding way to chain them down so they don't leave and get used as energy for Dalamud o.o i can't wait and see what going to happen next yoshi-p did say something is going to happen soon maybe this is the start of it.

I wonder why no one else been seeing this tho i thought someone would have took a screenshot and start talking about it o.o pretty happy my linkshell member to a screenshot of it to show you guys.

When did this happen? Do they remain red or just for a limited time? Something so minor can have a huge impact on our anticipation of the coming of Dalamud. Im so glad I get to experience this as it happens.

seem to be a limit time only like most of Dalamud events.

So I'm curious.. is Dalmund actually going to hit us, or is it going to be interrupted somewhere like mid-way and just hang omniously overhead as a constant reminder of what could've been our complete annihilation?

Because if the crystals are being pulled out of the ground towards Dalmund, then to go along with the concept art, if that's something to be expected during 2.0 why would it continue to be lifted if it isnt being pulled? Unless that concept art was only a preview of something to be witnessed during the events leading up to.

Still, rather cool, I dont hang around camps much anymore but will have to start keeping an eye out.

I think dalamud, at a certain point, will attract all the aetherithe crystals and ruins to it. So, some underground ruins and areas will go out from the earth.. reforming the actual Eorzea in the new one (with the new redesigned areas).

Before this most recent patch, some people would talk about the normal moon turning red as well.

But it's still not clear if this was a graphical glitch or not.

Needz moar screenshots!

Did Se remove the old live quests/events?

I am almost certain that the old Lambs of Dalamud / Garlaen Invasion bits no longer occur.

Also, if Dalamud really is attracting Aetheryte Crystals than that explains how the Crystal Tower will rise out of Silvertear Falls, eh?

I would have to agree with Dalmund having a pull on the crystals. After reading all the new lore from the monk quest the crystal tower that were going to be getting is actually a underground tomb.

The disturbances I have observed do not all derive from a single source. Beyond the imperceptible aether emitted by the Keeper of the Lake, there are even stronger aetherial waves coming from deep below the earth to the east.

I have studied these waves in great detail, and discovered that they can be used to reconstruct an image of their source. And I believe their source is a tower! An enormous, vast, gigantic, underground tower! Do you not see? <sigh> Of course you don't... It could only be the lost tomb of Xandes─the first emperor of Allag of whom I spoke mere moments ago. But wait, there it more to tell! You see, it is impossible that a normal building, however large, could release so much ethereal energy. An immense crystal on the other hand─that most certainly could. Putting these observations together, I had no choice but to conclude that the ancients' seemingly fanciful references to the tomb being wrought of crystal were not so fanciful after all!

With this in mind it appears that the new geographical formation Yosi-P was talking about a while back

One day, a massive geological anomaly suddenly appears from deep within the ground. Current players will have the opportunity to unlock the mysteries surrounding this strange, new landmark in the coming months.

---

(source from page 6 of the pdf of 2.0 Outline) will be the tower being pulled up.

Red sky! Yes please!

I'm far too lazy to find quotes to support my ludicrous claims! But this thread inspired me to pore over the 2.0 PDFs again.

It looks like those weird geographical formations will happen pre-2.0 (the caption next to the concept art says "Current players will have the opportunity to unlock the mysteries surrounding blah blah you get it") and there's variations of the 'geographic anomaly' in both the Gridania and La Noscean zones. Thanalan and Coerthas both seem to the big one, which leads me to believe that it might very well be in Mor Dhona or replace Mor Dhona entirely. (Mor Dhona is suspiciously absent from any of the 2.0 PDFs)

The Behemoth art also seems to have a similar anomaly in the back ground either coming from the sky (Dalamud?) or fanning out in a very peculiar way. (I sort of wish I could read all these JP squiggles on these PDFs, why weren't they translated!? FAVORITISM.) I'm super curious how the Imperials are going to be able to get a stronghold up and running in Eorzea so quickly =P but maybe that bit of Thanalan shown in the Concept Art is closer to Ala Mhigo??

But the red aetheryte floating up and now the aertherytes turning red and the "geographic anomalies" looking very orange-y with aetherlike qualities lead me to believe they might all be related to the very red moon!!!!!!!!!

idk I am super bored cooking ._.

I recommend you have a wander north of Camp Bluefog, the entire horizon to the north is covered in Garlean Magitek Generators, you can walk right up to the gates of a couple of them! I'll post a screenshot I took when I get home from work!

Managed to get a nice shot on a clear day of 5-10 generators on the mountain range of thanalan :O

Aren't those just ceruleum things (generators? miners?) and not necessarily Imperial in nature? Now that you mention it though, ceruleum is what Magitek runs off of, so that could be a good reason for the Empire to be in Thanalan =P

This makes me even more Anxious for 1.22... I'm out an about Scouting these Red Aethers, I shall report the Areas when I see them

and look at this Dalamus Picture.. Scary isn't it... :O

http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/...1331908412.jpg

Scary isn't it.. Prepare for our end is nigh...

In the concept art translations, the red color aetherate/floating is supposed to denote crystals that are no longer active (unable to teleport to). Don't know if that is what this portends, but could be an indicator to which ones we are going to lose.

I suspect in 1.22/1.23 Were going to lose teleportation to those location ( at least till 2.0) or any this is an indication that they want to do away with anima? idn But I all I know is this is pretty friggen Epic on how they are Handles 2 Versions of FFXIV at once! :D

1.22 Can't come fast enough =)

What do you do when you have no anima?
try it sometime.
Its like lets make even easyer to get around so instead of an hour to do stuff it takes 1min.

I hope that meteor comes down destroys the world, sucks the lifestream outa the planet, drains the energy outa all the gates, and all you have left is your trusty steed.

OH WAIT... wrong thread

Geographic anomolies looking orange? I remember having a display glitch at Treespeak where the forest's textures changed to more orangey back in 1.17.
I'll see if I still have a screenshot.

Oh yes.. that makes for a good investigation for my Trusty Steed and me :D.

I wonder if Dalamud's increasing size made Reinheart's subligar turn brown.

What happens if you teleport to or interact with one those crystals? Anyone tried that?
