So has SE confirmed they don't want us playing the game?

It only will make people give up. I won't wake up in the middle of the night to clear somthing like an event.

[Kidria]

I dunno what's going on but I keep hearing about how the NPC is not available, but just about every time I pass by that area in Ul'dah (about 4-5 times a play session, which for me is in spurts of 3-4 hours) it randomly seems to "reload" and suddenly the NPC is there. Reload as in all the decorations vanish and then reappear after about two or three seconds.

I guess I'll hop on and see if its up or not...

I guess ya'll jus' got shit luck??


The man has been there consistantly as I've ever seen O.o

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

After the Rising event and Pagos (which somehow is worse than Anemos, if that's possible), I've come to the conclusion that SE hates us all at the very least. And fun. They definitely hate fun.

Maybe they want us to quit after all. Their mobile game makes more money while in comparison costing none. If their real MMO were to shut down they get money? Stupid conclusion I know...

As an update, after 15 hours of waiting, the NPC actually spawned on Zodiark at 6pm. No way. No more. Thank god only have to do it. The instance was nice but for 20 minutes to complete, not fun. At least only need to do it once then can just grab rewards and never go in again. And once it goes, most likely gonna need to wait another 15 hours to the unlucky people.

I swear SE does this to artificially increase the shelf life of content so they can do more with much less, almost sort of like resources are being rationed in SE itself.

And unless you bring me definite proof the recruiter is up ALWAYS 100% Kidria I won't believe you.

Truly a great representation of 1.0 and possibly a second calamity. Will you release A Realm Re-Reborn next?

If anything this is just proof that players don't know what they want when they claim they want the XI experience of timed spawns and waiting on things.

I never asked for it. I never asked for FFXIV to be like XI. I want XIV to be XIV, not XI. Sure there are some stuff I would like to be properly implemented but lets face it SE is just being a bratty GM who doesn't like the fact the players aren't playing it to how they like, so rather make changes force it on the community first.

FFXI stuff in XIV is fine if properly integrated, well designed and doesn't detract from the experience, but no one at SE atm has the vision to actually make content like that unless it's a massive grind or with "limitations". Face it, this patch is absolute garbage saying it as an absolute as well.

I mean barring having me sit here for 24hr staring at the guy I can't give you definite proof. All I can say is I see him every time I happen to walk by, and the decorations 'reload' when I do and he's there. As of right now I've done the event and it's 12:46pm CST on Zalera and he's still staring back at me like we're gonna have a brawl. I also don't know if it's related to server pop, and what Zodiark is vs Zalera.

Japanesse and French translations that some people posted yesterday. Said the recruiter has an irregular spawn time, the recruiter did not show up here on Lamia until late last night and I have not been on too see if its still up. Feels like they did this too avoid overwhelming amounts of people doing the instance all at once.
