Thank for the Login Point Thingy Event!!!

What's a Krakken?

~ahem~

With that out of the way, I, for one, did not like the event, and I shall mention a few of the bad ideas that made it so.

• Events that force users to log in every day are not convenient (more like stress inducing). And yeah, I am sure the numbers of active (otherwise dormant) characters look good to the provider...
  
• Including items such as the Beastly Shank without certain adjustments is a bad idea. If it was not obvious that most of what it will create is congestion and griefing, I guess it's pointless to even continue on the subject.
  
• Including vanity items that consume basically all the available points is a bad idea. It is horrible for collectors such as me, and no, it's not that I wanted to get the super—special vanity item(s) and the items that may be sold for around 1M gil each (will probably take a bit to get back to that price). I don't care about gil much at all; I do care about collecting things, though.

While I appreciate the effort for any events to be had, at its current form, yes, I would have preferred this one not happening at all.

I imagine some people would simply state that it is silly to complain about 'free' stuff. This sort of events are far from free, as they make users to pay just to be able to get all the available points, and heck, this was probably the most—about—gil—event there has ever been. Or so I maybe guess.

I would suggest having the moneymaking items requiring most points, while vanity items were more available to everybody. It is so very unfortunate that there are so many in-game items that are exclusive to the Japanese or/and American users, which is what this is not about, but they are around the same area in ways.

In this particular case, the people who simply weren't able to log in often enough due to things like life were not able to get a rather silly, but possibly fun item.
Personally, I was able to log in each day, and paid for the last 30 days for 8 characters spanning across two accounts just for this.


If I had to find something positive about the event, it is that they actually try to do something to get more people pay, though the methods could be questionable. For the items that were available, I guess I appreciated most the spawn triggers for the Ru'Aun Gardens and Al'Taieu NMs, even though they are easy to obtain via regular means. Even those do annoy me greatly due to the inventory woes the game keeps being chained to, but c'est la Vana'diel...


Unfortunately, I only expect the next rendition to be more of the same. However, here are some items that I might be glad to see in the future:

• The Atomos Statue. I think that thing has not yet been really available at all for the users in the Europe.
  
• The Yovra Replica. Same as above.
  
• The equipment that boosts skill gain that were mentioned at least once already would be a good addition. I never had luck with them caskets except for the Prouesse Ring, and even that took days upon days. :\
  
• Similar to the above, items such as the Fisher's Torque that which boost crafting skill that are available from said boxes could be nice (or why not a possibility to obtain any of the rare items found in the caskets in Fields/Grounds of Valor areas).
  
• Equipment that boosts movement speed.
  
• The Shaper's Shawl.
  
• Voucher for tons of (Moat or/and Forest) Carp.
  
• The Ebisu Fishing Rod.

Okay, the last one was a joke (or was it!?).

I guess that's all fer now; too sleepy to dow!

Though I almost want to add a way to enter a number of Kindred's Seal and other such battlefields, but I can't think of a good way to go about it (yes, I have spent all, and then some, to wage battle with a Behemoth and the likes, and am not getting much back).


Blubb!


Edit(s):

• Add tons of carp to the list, and on that note, I can't stress enough that, first and foremost, I don't want to see vanity items chewing up all the points (or whatever it will be in future events like this). They should be nearly automagical, not a choice over actually useful items.
  
• Add the Yovra Replica to the list.

I think a really good idea would be to add the bcnm orbs or kcnm orbs; because you pretty much did the same by adding kcnm 99 hnms however by doing this it created a lot of long waiting times to pop the NMs, and encouraged a ton of unethical behavior... By adding the orbs it would give the people that are logging in something to actually do with other players since most bcnms are more than one person events.. Some other ideas could be things like a movement speed armor with decent stats so ppl will finally stop movement speed hacking! And it seems only fair since we can't run or jump STILL... Perhaps a costume that actually does something would be nice; like if you wear the costume you can fight enemy's as a random beastman, or a costume that dispenses a -Dmg food that u can use once a day, avatar costumes would be nice, but avatars which you can't summon as summoner would be more practical. Other ideas could be one time koupons like "permits 1 time entry into dynamis sandy" as your big ticket login point item, or "replenishes 1 imperial tag" could be cool too. Rare ex rings/earrings with a bonus would be nice, like "login earring level 1 enchantment reraise 1/1 24:00/24:00" or " campaign ring latent: level 50+ movement speed +8%" but whatever the case is please keep it new and exciting, and worthwhile to log in , and thank you for the event

I love the idea of the orbs, instead of skipping right to the meat, SE gives us an 'appetizer' so to speak. Personally it'd help out by thinning the herd, but remember you can't mule the orbs, so a lot of people can't do these fights on their characters. The costume idea is rather harmless, I'm all for some new flavor considering we're now dressing up as ark angels and nins are using the scythe for abyssea red procs. The dynamis sandy items however I don't really think would be a huge impact -if- the majority of players can already access it. The tag idea is handy but it only pertains to TOAU, which some people don't even know exists (Seriously 6/10 in my ls don't even know what Nyzul Isle is. They're due for an education imo)

I would rather them give the first-gen Nyzul/Einherjar stuff on kupons, that'd be a nice little thing to give to players since T1 isn't really that good nowadays compared to the gear the players get now. However 1 little thing that'd be fun to play around with, would be things along the lines of furnishings, such as ones people missed and they longer allow players to get them due to the events changing over the years.

The orbs instead of nq pop is a good idea. But i feel its just that. Gathering ppl for anything anymore is always a pain. Getting them for bcnms is no diffrent. A think a lot less ppl would be inclinded to bother if they gave orbs instead.

On the other side, i would love to see a few more ??? added to each nq pop site, just like they did for abyssea boss sites. Those lines can get pretty long.

We're really glad you enjoyed the Repeat Login Campaign! Thanks to your support, we will continue to have these kind of Campaigns on an ongoing basis. As a matter of fact, the Repeat Login Campaign No. 2 is set to kick off really soon.

I think its just a clever way to make everyone keep there mules activated...

I think you missed the WILL NOT BE ADDED as rewards part...

You beat me to the punch lol

sry for the triple post

Likewise, I love playing with my red-eyes, rearranging my statues in my mog house, tormenting people as a floating tarutaru, and ofc my 2 wands (Chocobo and moogle)

I was planning on getting a lot of the special weapons. Moogle and choco rod, Ark weapons, etc. But I am short on room as it is already. I was going to get them and mule them for the time being, but most of them said they cant be. So no weapons for me

All Ark weapons and the Chocobo wand can be muled. Only the Nomad Moogle Rod can't.

I want to say thank you to Dev team for this event , many good things was aviable like - Dyna relik gear , Ark Scythe (!! this one was best gift for me) , Redeyes . Pop items was "not bad" too , but... i think it was ruin event fun for many ppl's . This "Line" in behemoth dominion , and other areas was horrible (Maked players to push against each other).Next time better if add items that have in game Value (Bazaar one / Triggers) made those items at least not a HNM trigger items , but something else .

The only thing you couldn't mule was the nomad moogle rod...
