Guild Holidays.... (Die)

[Frost]

Ok seriously... Either:
A) Make the Condescending NPCs Disappear on their "Holiday", who hangs out at the shop on their day off???
B) Get Rid of the Holiday...

Please.

Yes please and on top of "this shop is closed on Lightningsday" (example), you have to wait until 8 for it to open again.

/signed do want

Haha, yeah. Would be nice if the NPCs would disappear. I can understand them having a holiday, but it seems to always be the one day you're running there to get a single item that isn't available on the auction house and would take hours to farm.

We checked with the development team about the holiday NPCs. Since there would be no real way to get information from holiday NPCs if they simply removed them, they are looking to making the holiday NPC’s dialogue a bit easier to understand.

So they're not just going to get rid of guild holidays?

I'd settle for the NPC telling us that it's a guild holiday, you know, so I'm not showing up at like 2:00, checking the NPC because I kept forgetting that it will not tell me it's a guild holiday, AFKing until open time only to find out it's a guild holiday. That really gets on my nerves.

I've just never been good about keeping up with holidays so when I actually remember I'll use my ffxi helper add on for firefox to figure it out. I remember it's watersday for Smithing though(I think), only because of about a few dozen times of hitting it up on Watersday back in the day until I finally learned my lesson.

No, seriously. I don't think anyone actually likes this "flavor" being in the game. It doesn't help anyone. If there were some perk to the "holiday" like better crafting rates on the holiday for that guild and they are all there because they want the enhancement themselves without being bothered by adventurers, then sure, that would be cool, and would make sense.

That not being the case, it just makes the npc's look like the biggest losers ever.

Something tells me you think I am talking about actual "Holiday NPCs" like the ones that explain Holiday events... I'm not.

I'm talking about Guild NPCs like the Blacksmithing Guild that stand there on Watersday and try to convince me that they're having the day off, when they're RIGHT THERE.

But like Bigboy said above me. IF there was some bonus (or penalty) to crafting on the guild's holiday it would make the game more interesting.

"I'm sorry adventurer, we're cleaning up the shop today and not selling materials until tomorrow. It's too dangerous to have people crafting in here today considering the unpredictable effects <DAY> has on <CRAFT>."

Where say in the case of Blacksmithing, Watersday would increase HQ's by 5% but also increase Synthesis failure 5% and Material Loss by say 25%.
