Bring back login events

[Aegis]

All this talk of Hildibrand has made me remember something that used to occasionally occur in the later stages of Version 1:

Login 'events'

Occasionally, after you had passed a certain milestone in the main storyline or sidequests when you logged in again after loggin out at an inn room you would have a chance of having an 'event' occur when you logged in.

This could be the unpleasant dream of Nael Van Darnus slaughtering all the good guy NPCs then killing you or it could be waking up to the Gentleman Inspector's shining smile.

These were impressive because they were so unexpected. There was no mention of them in patch notes, no ingame notification that you had unlocked anything. You would just be logging in as normal, ready to farm Garuda some more then bam! Dream Sequence out of the blue.

I think it was a really nice touch and would like to see them come back.

I never played 1.0 but this sounds awesome

And this would coincide with this. When I log in on the 17th, I expect this to be the first thing I see:

You know what would be really awesome?

If when you log in, you can randomly get queued into a special Duty Finder group. You and seven other completely random people just wake up in a nightmare together and have to beat Diabolos. Not as a serious event of course, more like what Odin and Behemoth are now (purely for vanity) and a "proper" Diabolos fight can come later like how we're meant to get a proper Odin fight at some point.

Would be all the more epic if they don't even mention it at all and people just stumble across the fight at random. Even though I generally hate the Duty Finder, I'd actually find being thrown into something like this, purely at random, to be a lot of fun. They'd have to give it some tangible rewards though, otherwise people will just leave... Guess they could always just make it soloable...

They could even reuse the same system for events, like Halloween. Imaging doing the regular Halloween quest, logging out in your Inn, then logging on the next day and you're trapped in a Dynamis like version of Eorzea until you finish the real Halloween event...

I love this idea. It deserves its own thread.

I love the idea, I really do. But it'd have to be optional. Make it a toggleable option. Right now I log in 10 min before raid due to work. Oh wait hang on guys I gotta fight Diabolos.

Haha! That's right, I get naked before I go to sleep (DON'T LOOK UP MY CHARACTER ON THE LODESTONE RIGHT NOW!)

This idea keeps getting better and better.
