UFO!?!?!

What are these giant balloon things with the spotlights hanging from them showing up over the towns?

Are the ixali attacking? o.0

Haven't they always been there? Still, I've always wondered wtf they are.

They're airships in transit, patronizing us as we walk through Thanalan for the 1000ᵗʰ time.

Uploaded a screenshot and linked in the OP; My LS has been hanging around at the same corner of Ul'dah for a long time and we're fairly (stress on the fairly) sure that we're not insane. This thing look familiar to anyone? When night hits it lights up like a pinball machine at Bennigan's. I'll try to get another shot of it then, but it kinda hovers back and forth.

Can't figure out if it's new or has something to do with the new draw distance or what.

Seen these since day 1.

Not new or anything to do with the patch if that is what you are hinting at.

[Anonymoose]

Hm; wonder why we're just noticing them. Thanks for the feedback at least.

[Zahak]

yea they have been there since release.

[BoltNixter]

I believe they serve as landmark point, you can see them from very far. It tells you that the city is "that" way. Imo!

They are Uldahn Anti-Air Platform. Since release/CBT you can see moving airships out in the field, so I bet those are like Defense Turrets and there might have had plans for Airship Battle involving these. Though most of those plans are probably scrapped by now.
