Rising Event

[Lexi]

Just confirming that the event has now finished on Elemental, three hours after it first became available.

The start and finish were both not quite "on the hour" but a minute or two after.

The even takes maybe 20 minutes to complete, so as long as you check for it every two hours, you should be fine.

Or just wait another day, because people probably will have figured out the pattern by then, if there is one.

So it stayed active with the npc available the whole 3 hours?

Every time I checked (fairly often), yes. I don't know if there was a cutoff point where some people might be asked to wait because the instance was full, but I went in and out a few times on different characters.

There isn't a start and end of the instance, in practical terms - it's a cycle of five FATEs, after which the NPC "in charge of the commemorative exercises" will declare it's finished, but will start again soon. You don't need to leave the instance after that, just wait, and then the scenario starts again. You might enter the instance at any point in the cycle.
