    Dalamud strilkes a second time?

    This was a really cool event from 1.0 that many of us missed.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jGTzdViDLo

    I had read about Lightning Strikes event being brought back a third time due to popular demand and wanted to see if I could get some support behind the Dalamud strikes event being brought back a second time. I heard rumors that this event coming back may have already been green lighted!

    This event had really cool music, special sky effect and enemy invasions. It was really cool and unique and I think most people would agree that everyone should get to enjoy it, just not the legacy players from 1.0.

    I know some of you say that events are special and shouldn't be repeated but you really need to share with the rest of us. Some of the special items released during the event could be brought back too, like the Dalamud Horn costume piece looks really cool:

    I wasn't able to be around during 1.0 to do the event because I just didn't feel like playing back then. I don't feel that should prevent me from seeing this event first hand though!

    There is the issue with what happens at the end of the event, where the meteor wipes out all life on the planet. To take care of that, I thought SE could do a crossover with Dragonball Z and just have Goku blow up the meteor at the end of the event this time. Having Link from the Legend of Zelda franchise just roll back time would work too.

    Thoughts?

    Oh goddess, me and my big mouth! Everyone, I'm sorry, this was my fault for mentioning the Legacy Campaign in another thread. ; ; *hangs head in shame*

    Seriously Cherie, no. Just no. The Legacy Campaign was a 'thank you' from SE to those 1.0 players who continued to play when subscriptions became payable (so many 1.0 players abandoned the game simply because they had to now pay to play it). And as 1.0 is long gone, bringing the Legacy chocobo back (because that's the only benefit really still relevant to this thread, the other bonuses were once-offs that simply cannot be gained again, like having the player's name in the end credits, and having day 1 access for Phase 1 of the Beta test) completely invalidates the point of it in the first place.

    As for the special '7th Umbral Events' that happened in the game in the lead up to 1.0's shut down, that was the whole point - it was to give an in-universe reason for the massive changes to the game's design (specifically, maps) that were going to be occurring in the change over to ARR. So thus something like that will never be happening again as there simply is no reason for it (unless SE decides to do something similar to explain other realm-shattering changes to the game's design, like the sudden opening up of new maps). Basically, its over and done with and is never coming back. Just accept it and move on.

    Please! Stop while you're ahead and don't feed the troll its not healthy!

    They're obviously trying (but failing imo >_>) to be funny, last paragraph is kind of a dead giveaway. I wouldn't try to defend why Legacy players should keep our experiences & items. The OP was just messing around

    Are you aware of the magnitude and time span of that event? If you just want the rewards from the quests (Ring and Horn) just ask for them being bought via myths/soldiery/allied seals since SE doesn't seem to have a problem handing stuff to people. But this event should not be repeated in any case or circumstance.

    Omg.... The lag. It was excruciating during the event back then. Now multiply by like a hundred. Yuckers.

    I totally agree with the OP. It's really unfair to not be allowed to play the event just because I wasn't playing then. But I'm sure the white knights will be along shortly to defend any decision to not do this...
