New Garlean Invasion Event - North of Horizon

[Kiara]

Hi All,

Not sure if you've seen it yet, but one interesting new event SE added and is now being activated is a

* Garlean Invasion Event(!)

Alfgar was shouting in Ul'dah that the Imperials were attacking now, and mentioned "north of Horizon."

Well sure enough a few minutes later, a Military Outrider NPC showed up, and asked if we wanted to join the battle.

It's kinda like Behest, but with waves upon waves of Garlean Soldiers! :O

* Imperial Triarius
* Imperial War Hound
* Imperial Veles

and a few other types.

It was pretty fun, but no SP. Just a Treasure Chest Reward (with Deaspected Crystals).

Can't wait to see how this event develops.

I really dislike this even mainly due to the difficulty of obtaining it. it happens so rarely you basically have to camp out in one area all day to get it. I think it would be a lot better if they just had it go every 5 or 10 hours or something, rather than 1-2 days.

Really? I formed a small party with some friends and we camped the spot where the NPC spawns just northwest of Camp Tranquil, and the event happened about once every 20-30 mins. We ended up doing it 3 times in a row.

Wow, 2nd post complaint.

This might be a new record.

There is NOTHING negative about this event, yet SOMEONE has an issue with it.

Never fails!

that only happens when the npc is up and for some reason it doesnt happen sometimes. LIke i was there an hour with npc up and no battle npc popped.

the npc doesnt spawn right at horizon, when alfgar pops in uldah he tells you to go to north horizon which is up on the map from the camp itself

Mother...

its an event that occurs rarely and seemingly randomly. So you basically have to come across it. If you don't go to tranquil often (if your jobs are all above that level) than you will prob never see it unless you camp the guy in ul'dah. Which means you have to be in ul'dah to notice it.

Random 24+hour events aren't really "cool" if theres only 1 of them.
I'm not saying its horrible, i'm just saying its not overly well planned out and would contribute a lot more if it actually occurred more regularly.

And?

There is no notable reward.
There is no punishment for failure.
There is nothing more than a random event in the middle of nowhere to add flavor to the world.

Quit your QQing.

If it dropped a relic weapon I would agree with you.
As it stands, its meant for storyline purposes only.

Leave it alone.

there are achievements.

more importantly, it takes time to create events like this that could be spent on things that flavour the game a lot more. Have you seen what SWTOR looks like? this game needs to be able to complete and implementing useless things like this that and flavour to 4-5 people every 24 hours is time mismanagement.

simple truth is this game is in no way competitive to the beta's of the new games being release. If a year old game can't compete with a beta theres a problem. And its not like they can catch up fast. These raids are cool and all but honestly "normal" quests in SW look like they are more indepth and better than storyline missions here.
