Alfgar's Event and Imperial Assault - Why did you make them "random" events?

[panzertroll]

For me, all events are good and they don't have to make them more easy.

>> if it's too easy to have it, players will complain about that

When you know that each patch= 1/2/3 events. You need to search for them. You have 2/3 months before the next patch.

I don't want an easy game. If people want reward, they need to work for that.

(Sorry for my very bad english)

Easy game is one that doesn't request any skill, and it doesn't concern with the main thought of my post. Maybe you didn't catch the point but I'm talking about the importance of these events in the main storyline. Here is one other post of Cloudio: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Era-storyline where a similar topic is raised up.

The 7th umbral era storyline is not a part of the main storyline. You miss nothing in the main storyline if you miss the event.

Thats besides the point really, people still want to do these events, the main issue is that they are unable to because of the stupid concept that is randomly timed encounters.

If you all wear subligar he (Alfgar) will come...

At least that's what my subligar god is telling me every night last couple of days... didn't work last night though... maybe subligar god was sleepy to summon Alfgar... /sigh

Thats not god son.

People are just looking for a laugh (NPC's included)

Actually yea the 7th umbral era is in fact the big story arc that is going on right now.

The "Main scenario" stuff is a prelude to what's going on right now.
(specifics hidden for new players who care but have not run through these quests yet.)

Think about what is experienced in those quest. You get to know your starting town a bit. You then learn the interaction between the tribes and the city states and how the empire is causing friction there. Then get swept up in the introduction of the primals there influence on the beast tribes. Finally you get the big reveal moment when (at the time) you actually come fact to face with the empire for the first time.

This story was continued on in side quests and Grand company quests including the instances. The remainder of the story will also be told Via live events such as what is going on now. Also via major set pieces in the form of new instances and wacky additions to the game world such as the strongholds and fleshed out with grand company and side quests. Once this all comes to a head the story will enter into its next chapter as we deal with the fall out of the world having gone to hell in a turbo hand basket.

My point being, if you care about the actual story being told here and you have only done the "Main scenario". You have not even begun to scratch the surface of whats going on. Pointing to that string of quests and saying any thing outside of this is not important is comical at best.
