On the topic of Lightning Strikes.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

This is turning into as pointless a fight as the adds in Turn 1. :P

Why would it upset you if the items were made available?

i alredy said it just make it untrust worthy that they have back down from what they have promised, and this game run on promises and they delivered within the promises up till now, if they back down and gave this, that promise will be a lie.

they already stated is a limited event for the Launch of JP & NA/EU, wont be happening ever again. bringing it back will break their promises about it. THAT IS WHY i say is limited and get over it over and over. But you dont seems to understand anything about it at all.

Why should the 'Jonny come latelys' get the limited stuff? I was there, you weren't. You could have been, and you'd have it too.

People who played 1.0 have stuff I don't - they were there, I wasn't.
Would I like that stuff? Yes. Am I going to get it? No.
Am i jealous of those players? Yes. Do I begrudge those who do have it? No.
Do I accept I can't get it? Yes. Am I going to whine and beg for square to give it to me? NO.

As should you.

Like how the community got the CT Loot restriction lifted?
Like how the community got Myths uncapped weekly?
Like how the community got Atma/Animus a little easier to obtain?

Don't be a prude, dude.

Just when I thought this thread was dead it gets revived.

As I'm here though...

What on earth are you talking about?

CT loot lockout was always going to be removed.
Myth cap was always going to be abolished when Soldiery came in.
And they didn't? People have bitched and cried on here non stop about Atmas and they've still basically said suck it up, we aren't nerfing it yet.

I'm starting to wonder if this was a troll thread all along, because if it wasn't, your mind doesn't seem all there.

So do you think Yoshida is going to say "Oh man, Drakezel wants the Lightning Strikes event back a 3rd time, I need to talk to XIII's producer/director immediately and get this thing approved!"?

If you truly think that will happen, a small ego check is in order, friend.

I know this doesn't cover everyone who waited for the PS4 edition, but anyone who had a PS3 had the option to buy the PS3 edition of the game and experience the Lightning Strikes event, and then when the PS4 edition released (which was a while after the system released), get the PS4 edition for no additional cost.

As far as "thinning the divide", I don't think the divide is quite that big, given the PS3 had already been out for so long; we're not exactly talking about a limited demographic when it comes to people who had a chance to experience ARR and Lightning Strikes before the edition they were really waiting for came out. Even if they ran the event one more time, there will inevitably be more PC/PS3/PS4 players who will join the game after -that- run, who will have not had a chance at it, and by the same logic will deserve yet another re-run.

[...]
the thing that drives me when it comes to this event and/or it's rewards, is the fact that this community [...] makes waves, makes changes, makes things -happen-.

Maybe I just want to make something happen too?

This doesn't seem to offer much persuasive reasoning either; that essentially boils down to "I want this to happen so that when it does, I can point at it and say 'I did that'!" I'm really not seeing that as a motivational force for them to go back on their statement that they have no plans to bring it back.

[Drakezel]

Boy, you all are a surly bunch.

Because I asked for a hairstyle?

I think this thread should just be closed, the bashing and flaming has driven it far, far off it's topic.

[Drakezel]

I should have come to expect this kind of treatment.

After all, it IS an MMO's public forum.

Look, I apologize if I offended anybody.

A player, hell, MANY players, are excited that the content is in the game, just let down that there's no way of getting it.

And we all understand the 'Limited' concept, so don't whip that out and start waving it around like you're King/Queen ****.

Just relax. Remind yourselves that this is feedback, a message to the developers, and not something to take personally.

Frankly, most of your comments are hurtful, and really, if that's the kind of human being you are... :I

So, I'm sorry I ever opened this thread.

I'm sorry I asked for feedback, talkback, whatever you want to call it from the community.

Please, however it's done, close this thread, so nobody else has to see the kind of abuse that the community is capable of.

where did you even get the idea that atma was easier/going to be easier? that was one of the first things that was talked about. its not getting touched.

Problem is, the rewards for this event were level 13, basically vanity, and yet you had to be level 45 to complete the whole set. Not everyone was able to do that. I threw as much time at the game as my life would allow on the second run through and still didn't make it to 45 before the event was over.

And some of us did the set once the first time, then made a brand new character and leveled it up to 45 to get the set again before the second event was over. Heck, I went from level 22 (2nd event start) to 45 before the event ended and claimed the remaining items I missed the 1st time. Wasn't particularly hard or difficult or even time consuming :/ Story mode quests and saved exploration for the last push from 40-45. if you save zone/area exploration as best you can until the 30's you get about 20k each explored area and a nice completion bonus when you finish the zone.

Sorry you missed out but they did have the event twice.
