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

[Reinheart]

"limited time" with limited number of people that can participate doesn't make this fun for some players that want to actually get those records in the history... which is why it would be nice if the devs the can increase the frequency of at least the system based live events.

As for the GM's roleplaying... been waiting and haven't seen any yet... heard it popped up once on Melmond server in Ul'dah but bunch of noobs threw snowball at it and it left right away....

Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first.

This was something that we had asked Yoshida about:

GamerEscape: Currently there are Garlean forces that appear around Eorzea. Right now they’ve been seen around Camp Glory. However, the timing of these events seems random. I’ve actually spent hours sitting in Ul’dah waiting for the NPC to show up for these! Do you think you could make these events more frequent so that players have a better chance of running into this kind of event?

Yoshida: We are currently planning on increasing the frequency of these events, starting with a new type of live event in patch 1.20. However, it was determined that announcing every live event may lead to congestion and even cause a bit of unwanted confusion, so we’ve decided it to keep their schedule secret. Personally, I believe that happening across one of these unpredictable events makes them all the more exciting!

I'm alright with the randomness of the events and them not announcing that part does make it fun and interesting but so far I think these events takes place twice a day at random city and with 16 player limit. Sure doesn't feel like they actually increased the frequency.

I guess in the long run it will work out since the rewards aren't that great doubt those that went in already would do it over and over; I'm just look at overall participation players may/may not I already done one myself so not complaining personally just don't feel right for others that want to actually participate and can't because of the current frequency.

The best option imo was to not even have the history lol if you participated you participated good for you, others don't need to know and by them not knowing they wont feel sad/happy since there is no record of it even took place lol. (some might get mad at me for saying this one lol)

No disrespect to Kaiser Sublimen, but I think the rarity of the events is just right. If you never get to experience it, you can read about it or see pictures of it here on the forums. It's like somebody telling you they saw a UFO. You can't expect the chance to see it yourself, although if it happened, you'd be thrilled.

I agree with you. Now shorten your sig.

I understand but same time YoshiP and them said that players who stay (subscribe/pay) will get to participate in these live events pretty sure no one was expecting this type. Personally I don't care much just don't feel right for those who really want these.

From JP side

こんなテーマパーク無いわｗ
Never heard of theme park like this lol

ミッキーもドナルドもいるかどうかわらかないのにチケット買うと思う？
少なくとも予定された時間にいけば必ずステージでミッキーに会える、から
ディズニーランドに行くんだＹＯ。
ライブイベントが新生まで課金してもらう人へのサービスの目玉じゃなかったの？
煽って煽って盛り上げるのが普通でしょうよ。何故隠すのｗｗｗｗ
Would you buy a ticket if you don't even know if Mickey or Donald is even there? (This is if you like meeting Disney characters instead of just going through rides, etc... saying this before someone becomes a smart a** lol)
At least at the specific time if you go to the right spot you will get to see Mickey on stage isn't that why you go to Disney Land?
I thought these live events were the main feature for those who subscribe and stay till 2.0
Isn't it normal to gather as much people by making these stand out. Why hide them wwww

Anyway doesn't really bother me much so I should stop talking about this one (for now)

I would agree with the notion that these events should stand out more and get more people involved. They should still be live, unique events, but they need to take greater care to make sure that the people who really want to participate have some opportunities to do so.
