Hey guys, got a random question here.
Alright, my question is, are firework displays dependent/relative on/to where they are started from. For example, if I were in LA and used a disco ball, we always see the fireworks by the fountain but never by the lighthouse. If I use my disco ball at the lighthouse, would the display be more centered towards the lighthouse not the fountain?
I would test this myself but I don't want to waste my precious balls.
Thanks Guys!

You may have noticed that the fireworks "launch" from the co-ordinates of existing NPCs and player characters. Since there's nobody near the lighthouse, except for you, you don't see many fireworks out there. If you got a bunch of people out there though, it'd be more impressive.

Shes right. I did a test in my guildhall. I started from the entering point where fireworks were going off, used a sugar item, went to the other end of the hall and there were no fireworks. Shortly after I had gotten to the other end fireworks started going off there. Went to the end I started at and there were no fireworks there then they started going off shortly after I had arrived. Note I was the only one in the guild hall.

So tell me if I am right, the fireworks are created from creation zones of Npc's and human characters.

Example--- If I was the only one in a guild hall with none of the upgrades, would there be like no fireworks then?

The fireworks are set off near the locations the NPCs would be

No, because there would be fireworks coming from you.

Note, if you and everyone else leaves your guild hall, the fireworks stop completely.

... and that happens because the instance in question gets scrapped when the number of players in the instance drops to zero. Every location in the game, including guild halls and outposts is a temporary instance. The easiest way to observe this is to go to a deserted outposts containing NPCs with random equipment (e.g., Honur Hill, some soldiers have random weapons equipped), notice NPC equipment, zone out, zone right back in, notice NPC equipment which is not the same as before zoning.

So, now you know it. Kamadan doesn't exists when there's nobody observing it. Quantum-tastic

Yeah, thanks. I play this game to escape form reality. Now I have to worry about my character getting sucked in a black hole.
