The Empire Strikes First (Pics and Video)

Man, what the fu(k is some peoples problem? These forums are becoming a chore to read.

Anyway, loving the new twist. Leading up to something massive?! When the dev team are ready to 'redesign the map'?
This will probably play out of over the next 6 months.

I've been away from the game for a while... Does this still happen?
I'll be annoyed if you can't get the accomplishments anymore. >.>

[Mikita]

It was still happening as of a few days ago. ^^

Any chance someone could reiterate WHEN these events take place, in -8 GMT time, please?

I've been trying to track down that information, and the search engine turns up unrelated results.

Spent hours at Horizon, and Tranquil. Nada.
Fun, fun.

[Seif]

I love these random events there just needs to be a lot more of them.

I wonder how long I'll be waiting to get in on this. :\
A day? Two? Three? Camping those 36 hour spawns in FFXI was more fun. :P

It may be better to spend time in Ul'dah near the repair NPC -- or if you have a friend who spends time there, ask him/her to alert you.

When Alfgar appears and starts shouting about the Imperials, then it's time to head to Camp Horizon for this event.

Go a bit north of the path that runs past Horizon, and there is an NPC who appears there along with a chocobo. You must talk to this NPC to take part in repelling the attack.

I have a friend who said they'd notify me if they noticed it in Ul'dah. I'm hanging around Tranquil in hopes that it starts there.

I just love how SE comes up with such incredible ideas and then implements them in the worst possible way..
