Lightning Strikes Event

[unami1]

Anyway, there's now reason way anyone/ anywhere shouldn't be lv.15+ or lv.25+ for that matter. Causal should at least have a lv.50 job by now, let's be srs about this.

Wrong. I don't have a level 50 job and I have been playing since beta 3 so its not like I don't know the game mechanics. Its just that my pace is my pace. Not yours or anyone else's. I enjoy the game..alot. I have 3 level 30+ classes (with the associated job souls) and 3 others at 15+. I also have every crafting/gathering class to level 30+ except cooking (15+) and fishing (0 - no interest...yet) This is all on one character, not alts so I grind tons and not just a fate runner either, although I use that option when I feel like it. I COULD have a 50 if that was my goal but you stated everyone SHOULD. Two altogether different scenarios so I'll leave it at you meant could and not should. I pay so I play at my pace not yours.

Camate, will there be an NPC to exchange parcels for weapons in the other cities as more chapters are unlocked, for those players who can't get to Limsa Lominsa (due to the horrible idea of keeping the ferry out of service until you get an airship pass [lol nonsense]) who still would like to at least get their weapons? (of course that would need parcel drops in the Ul'dah/Gridania FATEs which I'm sure won't be missing)

Are you trying to make him hate the game and quit because FATE grinding at level 36 on your first job without the 50% XP bonus is a sure way to do it. Unless he doesn't mind leveling up at the expense of having fun of course.

He wanted to know how he could get it done, I told him the surefire way to do so. But if he still has storyline quests to do, that should be first priority, as well as all quests around his level range. That will give him the most bang for his buck if he teleports around.

He's got 11 levels to go, and a little under a month to hit 45 and do the last mission in it. Sometimes, you just stick your nose the the grind stone a while and get the rough stuff behind you.

Otherwise, he can level at his leisure, knowing he's got until Feburary to get to level 45. No real excuse there. I'm lucky if I get a full two hours a day an I hit my first fifty not long ago. (Though I'm one of those odd ones that don't mind doing FATES, so long as you do something in between them.)

FATE grinding makes me think they should offer a free 30 day subscription to Netflix along with the 30 free days of game time because that's the only way to make it remotely fun.

Why should people have to level to 45 in order to get access to level 13 items?

Why should people have to level to 45 in order to get access to level 13 items?

This exactly. Glad I'm not the only one seeing the big flaw in this whole matter.

[Sephirah]

The level of the items are irrelevant, they're all lvl 13 because it's for the release of Final Fantasy 13.

They clearly only want players that have put in the MINIMAL effort of getting to 45 to get the FULL rewards of this event. If you don't have a high enough level, well, then you can still get SOME. You just can't have it all though.

But if you still want it all, well then, I refer you to my previous statement. (Remember, these fates will be in-game until at least the end of this year.)

*shurg* Why should all event content and rewards be restricted to level 13?

We don't know if the equipment gear is all restricted to the quest alone. We don't have the full event in front of us. Maybe the Lightening outfit comes out near the end to be purchasable through the Otherwordly items. We simply do not know. IF it doesn't. I can agree that they should be.

I do not agree that the Lightning content be low level only because some people haven't leveled yet, that punishes high level players.

I already have a level 50. I have alts to keep me busy for the years to come. I have zero intention of wasting all of the potential entertainment of leveling alts in just a few months. I don't give a rat's ass why Squeenix made them level 13 items. It still makes no damn sense that a level 13 character cannot access level 13 items. This is not a raid boss. This is a freaking fate that can be completed with four people.

I never said the Lightning fates should be low level only; I'm talking only about the costume items.

If the high level fates dont award anything, then what reason does anyone have to level up or even do it at all? News flash, they WANT people leveling up, they do not intend to release a game, and then let everyone remain at low level (the only way to do this is by NOT playing, or logging in and standing in town) and then still get all the cool things they add.

The quests seem to be giving the costume rewards, if the first one is anything to go by (you get gloves for completing it) - not the fates. Doing high level fates in phase 4 of the event will give you those tokens you use to buy the weapons, so making level 13 items accessible to characters who are at least level 13 does not remove reward from high level fates.
