Announcing the "Where in Vana'diel is the Community Team?" Event! (05/15/2012)

How well do you know Vana'diel? Could you find your way through the Yuhtunga Jungle blindfolded and navigate to safety using only your sense of hearing? Do you know each individual crevice and nook of the maps of Vana'diel? The Community Team has concocted a series of trials to put your knowledge of Vana'diel, as well as your riddle-solving abilities, to the test!

The Community Team will make an appearance on the Test Server and hide in special locations scattered across Vana'diel. Once the team member has made their way to the hiding spot, we will announce a hint regarding the location on both the forum and also in-game via linkshells that will be distributed. Players must then hunt down the hidden Community Team member. The first three players to find the hiding Community Team member and purchase a Red Rose from their bazaar will be awarded a chocobo beret!

If you believe you are a hide-and-seek master, head over to the forums to read up on the full event details!

So they are disableing the search function during this then I guess? Linkshells have a cap on how many people can have it active at a time so they can't be expecting too big of a turn out XD

There will be more than 1 LS most likely, just like the test server event.

That is also why they are posting both on the forums and in the LS.

ROUND THREE:

Hint:
This view is amazing. It’s so pretty yet so ruined. Wait… do I see a dragon!?
Subscribe

Camate warned us that the 3rd hint was going to be announced any second. I was waiting at the HP crystal with my two rings equipped and charged in case I need to warp anywhere unique. Then Rukkirii finally made it to her hiding spot and announced the clue:

"This view is amazing. It’s so pretty yet so ruined. Wait… do I see a dragon!?"

My instant reaction was to use tav ring, while I was thinking to myself

This cant be it, there is no way she picked THAT spot I love so much.

My heart was beating like it use to back in the day when I tried to camp Leaping Lizzy and saw it on widescan. My thumbs unable to run my character straight I'm so nervous. I knew exactly where she was, and I used chocobo jig right before I zoned out into Lufaise Meadows to cut out the animation delay. Running just until jig was about to wear then I used flee and made my way towards Blueblade Fell. I passed Padfoot on the way but there was no time to play with him!. I cut the corners around the tunnels to try to save some time, but they were pulling ahead. I turn left into the area with high level rams and birds and I see so many people behind me. A taru ahead of me had 3 things on him and hit the floor dead and the WHM inside me felt horrible that I would have to pass him without raising, even though I had no way to. I entered the final ramp out twoards Blueblade fell spamming /target Rukkirii, and check her bazaar to find 2 Red Roses left and my heart sank as I bought the 2nd to last.

The Community Reps had 5 Roses in their bazaars, but only the first 3 buyers would win a Chocobo Beret. I came in 4th, my favorite spot in the whole game and I was the first person to lose. I was furious, upset, angry, disappointed, and sad that I wasn't fast enough that I didn't realize that Dameion was standing there before I got there. I didn't make the connection that there were two left, and he was there before me. Then he told me he talked to Camate about giving his to me and that he said it was okay.

I can not believe this just happened, what a fun event. Thank you Community Reps for staying after work on your own time to create and host this event for us, it was extremely fun even though I lost so many times and I got lost and sometimes I had no clue where to go and just gave up until there were 3 winners. They really made this hide-and-seek event an enjoyable experience for players and I hope to see more events like this in the future.

It’s scary being up this high. I feel like I’m going to fall down. The fact that it’s cold sure doesn’t help either. Help!

ROUND FIVE (final round):

Hint:
It’s too hot in here… flame spouts to the left and right of me. I have to check my map to see how I can get out. Wow… that is one of the funniest looking faces I have ever seen! I think I’ll stand in its mouth.

That event seems to have been way better executed than the hide-n-seek they do in Digimon Masters. lol

Hey everyone!

I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came out for our event on Friday. I and the rest of the Community Team were so happy to see all the positive comments and that everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves! I am sure I speak for the entire team when I say we had a blast interacting with you all!

Just a reminder that if you weren’t able to make it out this past Friday, we will be holding another 5 rounds of “Where in Vana’diel is the Community Team?” this coming Friday, May 25th at 6PM PDT. Even if you won something the other day, feel free to come out and have some fun (that goes for players that already possess a Chocobo Beret as well)!

Here are some screenshots we took of the event:

Hanging around the Lower Jeuno home point waiting for players to arrive.

Everyone is arriving back to Lower Jeuno to start the next round.

A Community Rep was discovered at Blueblade Fell and everyone stopped for some sight-seeing.

It took everyone quite a bit to find us in Ifrit's Cauldron. We were burning up waiting!


Hope to see you all on Friday!

Haha Happy Birthday Kalilla :D It was great seeing you there. And cool, Emdub gave you your hat too! XD He showed up by the Port Jeuno MH for me - soon as he showed up everyone bumrushed him xD hahaha~

But of course, my first two uses I became a Yellow and Black 'bo! Oh /stagger XD oh well!





Yay! I'm Red! XD My favorite 'bo! :)

Speaking of, I remember your story Kal, you were so sad that You came in 4th :( Was someone really nice enough to let you have theirs? wow! I'm so happy for you! :)

Here's mine:

As soon as the second hint came out, everyone knew right away that she meant Uleguerand Range, there was no doubt about it. It all came down to a matter of speed! A few of us immediately took off for the voidwatch warp just outside the city walls - a few started casting Teleport-Vahzl and realized their mistake :( they had already lost.

I zoned in as the third person, and immediately buffed up with my sneaky spells and 'zurka - shoom! Off I go! Immediately I took the lead, dodging what I could and outrunning what I couldn't! I knew I was making fast time, I had navigated this route many many times, so I never had to worry about falling down a hole. Imagine my surprise though! Halfway up the pass, I see other invisible players running at my side! The dancer I could understand, but how was the WHM/BLM going so fast!? No matter, I dismissed it, he probably had a pocket bard helping him out too, a lot of players teamed up for this event.

It got really intense then, the 3 of us were neck and neck, and I knew more would be coming up behind. I pulled in the lead again, the buffs had needed to be recast, but oh! We were coming in to the last stretch, and of course, I finally aggro'd something I couldn't dare to outrun - that accursed Taurus right at the base of the ramp to Jormungand! He always gets me >:( I couldn't afford to ignore him, he links really fast demons, I was sure to lose...

Thankfully Jormy himself came to my rescue! I was able to pull the Taur to the ramp without linking anything else, and slept him. Man I love being bard sometimes. Didn't have time to reapply my sneaky spells, I just stuck on 'zurka again and hoped for the best! By this time a few more players had passed me, and had aggro'd the eyeballs floating in my way. But the clincher was, I guess nobody expected Jormy himself to be guarding the exit! He was killing people left and right! (well, okay, I only saw two). Sneaking past, I was once again in second place!

Neck-and-neck with Phaffi and Goto a little behind, we ran alongside the top of the slope, spamming /target Bayohne as fast as we could! I didn't see her at a glance with the first, western ledge, and took a chance for the other one. And there she was, tucked back in a little corner right at the edge, farthest you could go. She was really close to falling! But we saved her ;) We each got a rose, and congratulated each other on being the winners!

If anyone wanted to go to this event tonight is the last chance you have D:!

It starts in 4 hours and 25 min, that's long enough to update the test server client (possibly download the client and then update it even) if you haven't yet. Also you can join the event anytime you want, so if you're late you can still participate.


It's really really really fun, I promise! :D

I'll be going again even though I can't win another hat :x
