HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Edward - 09-25-2014

Hey everyone, Edward again.  So with the 2014 fan fest drawing ever nearer and seeing so many responses to my original thread, I had to make an update.  I will do everything I can to make a meet up for all of us happen, and as soon as we get an event schedule on the fan fest site it will be a LOT easier to do that, as we don't want our daily meets to conflict with any of the awesome events they'll have going on there.  If you'd like to be a part of the community meeting up, or want to help schedule it with me, send me a PM on the forums and I can give you my Skype so we can discuss it further.  As for updates on where meetings or get together's will be posted, I'm considering making a Twitter (finally) for everyone to follow, so that when several of us are at a certain panel you'll see a tweet such as, "Hey everyone! A few of us from the HRPC are at <panel>, come join!"  And we can also use it as a 'party finder' for getting IRL FATE parties going, assuming they do them again this year.  I'd LOVE to see as many of you as I possibly can, so keep an eye out for a curly haired guy in a TALE shirt!

Hrmmm~

So I'm leaving the Orange County Southern California area the morning of that Friday. I am hoping that means I get there mid-day.

We could meet up before or after registration/pick-ups on oct 17th?

((Just a thought))

Is there an option to do all of it? T_T

On a side note: Do we play in those challenges with our own characters or do they have dummie characters we use?

Also also, Meta and I would totally team up with people from here to do the challenges. No one else from our FC is going this year.


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Kage - 10-02-2014

From what I've heard of peoples' experiences they are Square Enix made characters. I'm not sure what type of gear etc.

Guys I want to try the new challenge. I'm pretty sure it's the Odin 15 min challenge. ; ;


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Kage - 10-02-2014

I've asked some questions about the challenges on reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2i3cat/what_are_the_challenges_like_at_the_events_they/

Looks like the challenges are a mix of HM/EX, but much easier than EX. You get to use characters made by SE with High Allagan gear


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Lillith Cale - 10-02-2014

You mean I can finally run around with that HA Bow I've been drooling over since it was released but can't get because of the fact that my laptop is a POS and can't handle the graphic load out of the fights for T5+ which creates a redicious latency issue where I just fail at everything?

Gods, yes please. Even if it's not my character let me just twinge the string a little and I'll pee myself with happy.

Also, I don't care how long the line is for Odin. I will stand it and I will get my damn 'I beat Odin' shirt and then if anyone says BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE UNCUT ACHIEVEMENT I can throw the shirt in their face. *Throws head back and cackles*

...

*Clears throat*

So uh, yeah, I'm up for teaming up if anyone else is.


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Kage - 10-02-2014

Well... the one example was glamored T_T;


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Lillith Cale - 10-02-2014

So it doesn't look like the HA Bow? Awww *pouts a little*

But...but it still is the bow, right? >>;

I mean, techincally, I'll be playing with the pretty on a mechanics basis. @__@


RE: HRPC at the FFXIV Fan Fest 2014 (UPDATE) - Kage - 10-03-2014

From what I've heard it's the item but glamored.

((No one seems to want to talk about Fanfest much /cry))

I'm looking at places and I heard about this club in Vegas on reddit while people are talking about meeting up and stuff during FanFest.

It looks cool.
