Lightning/Snow Event

[Gamer3427]

As someone who missed the event, and really wants the arcanist weapon from it, I still say no to the idea of bringing it back. I missed the event. I didn't start playing the game until after it had come and gone. As much as I want the rewards from it, they should be exclusive to the people who have been playing the game since then, and put in the time to get them. In a way it's like the Veteran Rewards, except that it's specific to the character(s) you completed it with, and requires you to actually be playing the game instead of just subscribed. Let it be exclusive to the people who have been fans of XIV for that long....

My memory is a bit foggy regarding the event, but was it not simply a series of FATES in progressively higher level zones, which spawned every hour or so? No need to go DO aforementioned FATEs if you did not want to. Although I have no idea why anyone would complain about a novel FATE in an area.

I could be wrong as the last event was a year ago now, but I seem to recall there being a few complaints during the third run that had to do with the event fates overlapping or disrupting the fates players were using to grind relics on... Something about the needed fate never popping it always being the lightning one instead... If I'm remembering right, long term memory so could be off a bit.

i could be mistaken but i thought the event only happened twice...once when lightning returns came out and again at the anniversary events chain they had? i agree they should consider doing it again or making those items a mogstore thing but what they should do is add the outfits and weapons from the second and third games too not just the first game who wouldn't want to have the knight of etro armor or now that heavensward is out maybe add caius ballad's chaos sword for dark nights and so on. hell i'd be curious to see how the savior outfit and weapons look on paladin.

Yes, Reinth is a special snowflake because He/She got the item and you didn't. Nothing wrong with that, items that differentiate players is great.

I don't really care to have it or not, now. Maybe I will not even buy it on the mog station. Maybe I will. I'm fine with my actual glamour anyway.

The only items that shouldn't be in mog station is legacy rewards. Ligthning returns fate has no connection with legacy players and some old events items are already in sale. I guess it will be the same for this event, then.

That's why, if these stuffs are in mog station, it's fine. I just don't understand why players are so mad that other player want it. It's ridiculous.

I don't think raiders complain so much when raids was nerfed/echoed and players get dreadwyrm glamour stuff thanks to echo/desynch.

Old stuff is old, why care if it comes back in any way.

I hope everything will be on sale, I wanna see all the whine then, it's entertaining.

Came out for the first time for Jp release of Lightning Returns, then again for the NA release of it, and finally they brought it back as part of the 1 year anniversary.

Titor don't you have like 3 houses? How can you comment on exclusivity when you're perpetuating the idea.

I have one personal house and one which is for my FC. If you would bother to read my post history, you would see that I am an avid supporter for new wards to be opened up, and have even said in the past that if SE decided to make a decision to force relinquish all current personal houses (not just removing inactive housing, but ALL personal housing) and move them into a private instanced system I would not mind giving up my personal house for fairness. Should you bother do to your research, you will also find I am also an avid supporter of opening up personal house sharing with more friends (which SE seemed to take note of and do!) so that more individuals will be able to enjoy the housing system, and plan on sharing my ONE personal house with my friends that do not have a house.

Thank you for turning an argument of fairness into a personal attack though, even a very misinformed and ignorant one.

I also have the lightning event items and am hoping to allow others to have it as well. I am supporting new players having it. I do not need it myself, so good job being misinformed there as well.

I'm not sure about it bugging relic FATEs, but I do know there was also another annoying bug that occurred during the FFXIII event's final run - for the first stage of the event if you had the daily Hunt active that required the FATE 'Tender Buttons' to be completed (which was also one of the two possible FATEs Lightning could appear in for that event), if Lightning showed up it the bug prevented the player from getting credit on the Hunt bill for completing it, effectively making that daily Hunt bill unable to be completed.

There were dozens of bug reports logged with SE but SE never did anything about it because the event was ending shortly anyway, and as the event has never returned since, it's quite telling of perhaps the real reasons why SE hasn't brought it back.

It's very possible that could actually be what I'm remembering.

[UnstablePersonality]

I agree...at least put the stuff in the mogstation, I would buy it in no time.

[Neri]

Sure, bring it back. But not only to satisfy the players who missed it, but SE should satisfy the players who already finished this event by adding new costumes, weapons and hairstyles too. That should fix the argument, I think. Maybe change some content of the quests as well would be nice.
