Lightning on the horizon (Lightning FFXIII event)

[Thriar]

I think the dev team should look into World Event's on Rift. These were of the same idea that SE tried to accomplish but were actually executed very well for the most part. I thought towards the end of my Rift days, the world events became less spectacular. But after experiencing this event, I came to realize it was what I became accustomed to; awesome events all the time.

Specifically, you should look into the "Waves of Madness" event, a truly epic event.

i find this event BS as a new player i can only get a weapon and gloves cant get rest of armor cuz im not level 50....

What about...

If you weren't able to make it however, keep in mind the event will run again in February of the new year, giving you another opportunity to face these challenges together with Lightning.

isn't clear?

I agree with your comments about Rift's events but I think yours is a 'chalk and cheese' comparison choosing to compare FATEs with Rift's Zone Events.

That said, I certainly think FATEs are failing right now to be any fun at all, they don't scale well and with totally broken skills like Blizzard II being spammed by scores of BLMs they're simply zerged down within seconds, but since there's no other way to level jobs once you've exhausted the one-time quests then mass zergs are inevitable.

I don't know why SE is being stingy with the armoire... It should hold ALL seasonal event items, and ALL bonus items, no 'we'll think about it'. Why can't we just store it? Why do I have to choose between letting my retainers fill with event stuff, or throw my collectibles away?

If you complete Phase 4, it seems you can't get packages to buy the weapon anymore. This makes me regret finishing the story. Would SE change it next time for us weapon completionist?

Oh, is that the reason? I did the Mor Dhona Lightning fate first because I just happened to be there when it spawned and somehow I don't seem to get any of those packages you need to turn in for the weapons. I have 2 different packages in my inventory atm but they appear to be of no use, I'll throw them away and see if that helps. Everytime I complete the last fate in mor dhona I get "you could not receive the item".
Overall I like the event and also the fates, I imagine they were packed the first few days which is why I stayed away. I did these quests yesterday and there were some people but it was no zerging or something, a few times in Mor Dhona I was almost alone with Lightning and for the Thanalan part we were 2 people there...

Rift's World Events were a lot of fun. I think the main reason FATE events fail to inspire the same enjoyment is because FATEs are limited to a very small area. With the dynamic events with Rift the mobs usually had some kind of objective in mind which usually entailed them traveling about the actual area on the map and attacking something and wreaking havoc on NPCs. Often this included massive groups of mobs or some giant boss that would try to attack and then occupy a base zone. Particularly in the World Events you saw the dynamic events actually taking a more active role and usually required a large player force to win(for better or worse).

With FATEs they're limited to a VERY small area(some escorts are the only exception). Step outside of the circle where a FATE is occurring and it has almost no impact on your play outside of instances such as gathering or trying to do a quest in the area. The Hive FATEs in Quarrymill are the only ones that even seem to have any noticeable change if players actually fail the FATE regardless of how negligible it is(that area has no quests and almost no reason to visit it besides getting xp for the FATE). I mean, if you fail Odin he kills you if you were in the immediate area but other than that he just leaves like nothing ever happened.

So I dunno, FATEs pretty much exist as a leveling tool and somewhat of an annoyance otherwise in this game. There is almost no sense of immersion, they're rarely fun and desperately in need of some type of change in how future FATEs operate that doesn't make it painfully obvious that the player is only doing this for some type of reward like xp.

tl;dr Give FATE mobs something to do aside from just being whacked for xp

XIV needs better inventory systems in general. Inventory space should not be an issue.

I expected the armoury to essentially solve all inventory issues, but once I got into the game I realized how small the armoury chest actually is. Keeping all of your jobs and crafts geared fills up too much space to keep more things laying around.

I'd like to store events' items at the armoire, but hell, there are 250 slots on retainers; I'm kinda Diogenes syndrome player and I've got 4-5 empty tabs and most of them half empty...
Again, I know this could be a future issue, but currently is not that bad. I mean, people tend to express this request as if they're quitting in case we don't get it right now... :S

Another stupid event for FF @fans@ with useless items. SE continues to make game only for @fans@, but forget most of other MMO players. Another mindless of developers, who cannot make another base for event, but FATE. AGAIN FATE EVENT!!!!!!!! Do you have any imagination, developers? No thanks to you, SE. No

People was saying here, that events in FF11 stupid too and SE can make good events. Now I see, that is true

If I were Yoshi- I would kick out all workers of EVENT-team and hired another people, because current... workers are gaining money for nothing
