    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.

    time management is my reasoning. Spend time putting things in the game that everyone will experience and enjoy instead of little things that a few people will do and then forget about. If they cloned this and had it happening lets say every hour at a diff camp around the world -THAT- would be a good idea. But occuring once every day or 2 is essentially pointless.

    Ever think that it could EQUALLY be as enjoyable for a player to come across a truly random event?
    One that not EVERYONE sees?

    Rewarding a player for being in the right place at the right time?

    No, you were thinking about only yourself.

    THATS the issue.

    no i was thinking about the success of this game. Name one thing this game has that can compete with all the new MMOs? You can't because there isn't anything. Raids are nice but compared to SWTOR they are really inferior. There are no battles like in rift. Theres no real economy. The UI still fails for PC users. I don't like being negative but this game needs to get something unique. And spending time implementing little things like this takes manpower away from actually making this a modern competitive MMO.

    Are you sure you were at the right place? I didn't have any problems finding it either.

    Yeah it looks like utter crap, they are also setting themselves up for unsustainable content. Fully voiced everything? Yeah can't wait to see how slowly they churn events out for that system.
