That usually involves the player having some item they were supposed to turn in for a prize. With that said, I think it would be wonderful if players were able to buy past year(s) rewards with gold feathers. After all, most of us have not been using them.

Perhaps they have something slightly bigger planned for the next.

Expecting an outfit for an event themed after a holiday all about wearing costumes, when SE has delivered in previous years is unreasonable?

I just don't want anyone to get their hopes up for something that isn't going to happen, because that's when we get the "but they said!" posts, which are always so tiring.

Aww that's a shame. I've not been here for a few years and so starved of glamours. I hoped I'd be able to pick something up here. Never mind...there's always Christmas....isn't there....please??

We didn't get an outfit last Starlight (we did the year before), we got a mount, so maybe a new outfit this year! Who knows, we can hope!

To be fair, a lot of the Saints' Wake outfits on the mogstation are cheap - a few bucks, I think? But I also know that everyone has different opinions about the mog station, so if that's not your cup I completely understand.

Can't wear it, not worth it.

What did they mean by this? What guises?

It kind of is when you probably weren't going to wear it anyway and the only reason you're upset is simply because you're just used to getting one.

You mean like the vampire's vest and witch's coatee people use all the time?

Inviting you to put on a costume doesn't mean it's provided.

The werwolf legs are part of my main job glamour for like a long time. So not everyone just puts the outfits away never wearing them once. Also one could use the same argument for minions too. (Or the housing items that people who dont even has one cant even use)

It usually isn't good to assume. I actually do glamour with some of the pieces from previous events, and you totally missed an earlier section of the thread where I voiced my concern for new players being forced to go to the mogshop if they wish to dress up along with everyone else.

I know sets take a while to add to the game, and we just got amazing swimwear from the last Moonfire. So I can see how it is a bit easy to come off as a spoiled princess stomping her feet, but here's the deal:

Two years ago, Moonfire delivered our now highly used Ranger pose emotes, an orchestrion roll, and a set of armor (which players glam btw). SE followed that event up in All Saints Wake with the Vampire Vest, TWO orchestrion roles, and a minion, and a house furnishing.... AND the implementation of the very fun Haukke Manor dungeon we all look forward to now. Oh, and both of these events of 2016 also had a decent sized and amusing questlines. SE has also made it known that next year, our lovely songbirds will not be returning (an event that probably gathered more players together than any other; the amount of glowsticks in Ul'dah was insane).

Now tell me something doesn't smell funny. It should be easy to see the writing on the wall. When SE has shown themselves capable of giving us such quality content and rewards during events in the past, why wouldn't we have the expectation? It should be VERY concerning to everyone that the laziness is increasing while the quality is decreasing.

Usually the items are tossed unceremoniously into your armoire the moment you receive it, never to see the light of day again, so it makes literally no difference whether we get another one or not.

My AST currently uses the 2014 Starlight top. My SMN currently uses the 2017 Songbird skirt. I have used the 2015 Witch's Attire gloves in an earlier glamour for SMN. My Squadron MRD is currently using the newest Moonfire top and glasses. My squadron ACN is using various pieces from the 2016 Moonfire Ranger event.

I am constantly seeing people using the 2015 Witch's Attire, 2017 Songbird outfit, 2017 Werewolf, 2018 Moonfire, 2015 Valentione's, and the tons of items from the 2015 Moonfire. I still see people wearing(not as much) the 2016 Songbird, 2016 Saints' Wake Vampire, 2015 Starlight Reindeer costume and Santa beard.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh and to put it all into perspective, we used to get glamours for EVERY event... until Stormblood. But that's nothing new. We've gotten nothing but less in this expansion..

I like the new items, but instead of "Familiar's Footprints" I would have went with something like "Familiar's Droppings". In other words, a small pile of cat poop. Seriously, here's some flavor text:

"Seems like the Familiar hasn't been house trained"

I'm sure players would have fun with it, such as buying several and creating a mountain of cat poop in their house/apartment to gross out visitors. I'd put it somewhere.

Oh, Miqo'te players can have some fun with it. It's perfect!

Aside of the people who’ve already replied saying they use previous years’ costumes, this is a poor argument as to why we shouldn’t hope to get a new costume with each new seasonal event.

The nature of glamour in this game, where a player can create their outfits from all the different pieces available, means that each person will wear the items they like, and leave a lot of other things unused.

But each new costume adds to the variety of items available, giving players more options.

Of course not every person will wear it - how boring would it be if they all did?

I just wanted to recap of how much less we are getting right now with this expansion.

Here's all big events from Oct. 2014(when I started) - Stormblood that gave glamour from what I can remember, I may have forgotten things:
2014 Saints' Wake - Eerie Attire
2014 Starlight - Starlight outfit
2015 Valentione's - Valentione Maid outfit
2015 Little Ladies' Day - Blossom Earrings/Neclace(?)
June 2015 - Heavensward
2015 Moonfire Faire - A TON of items, biggest event ever
2015 Saints Wake - Witch's Attire(And broom!)
2015 Starlight - Reindeer costume and Santa Hat w/beard
2016 Valentione's - 2 Paramour Earrings and Paramour Hat
2016 Little Ladies Day - Songbird jacket(can't remember name)
2016 Moonfire Faire - Ranger armor
2016 All Saints' Wake - Dracula shirt
2016 Starlight - Santa jacket and Rudolf nose w/ Antlers
2017 Little Ladies' Day - Songbird Outfit
June 2017 - Stormblood
(I missed every Hatching Tide so I can't speak on those D: )

So now let's go through Stormblood:
2017 Moonfire Faire - Faire Shisui
2017 All Saints' Wake - Werewolf costume
2017 Starlight - None
2018 Valentione's - None
2018 Little Ladies - None
2018 Moonfire Faire - Endless Summer swimsuit
2018 Rising: Manderville Earrings and White Ravens
2018 All Saints' Wake - None

So... so far in Stormblood only 4 events gave any glamour items. Moonfire is a recolor of Shisui and Rising rewards were ripped from 1.0. Sorry. But I don't believe the whole "Oh they rotate minions and glams for rewards". Some of you must've forgotten the massive 2015 Moonfire event that came after HW release when the main devs were on vacation.

Wouldnt it be better for us players too if we got more glamour items instead of housing items? Even if people dont like it, they can just put it into the chest and lose no space. While with the housing items you either buy it for an existing house and need storage space after the event is over or if you want to use something else, or if you dont have a house (which would be the majority of players) you need to buy it and put it into your retainers because you cant just buy it again in the future. Thus important space is lost.

I find it strange how many house items we get with these event even though housing itself is a limited resource. So a glamour and either a minion/scroll/mount would be way better because at least everyone can use those and they take no space away.

Honestly if they cant even provide us these rewards at the events, maybe they should make less of them but have each one that is left be of higher quality with more items as rewards. (But that is just my opinion)

I feel like they alternate the items we get each holiday. We are getting a outfit for the Christmas event so I’m sure that’s why we aren’t getting a Halloween outfit? Not too sure how they decide.

I’m happy with the Ghost minions and I love the dungeon so no complaints from me. I just won’t use the housing items is all.

And now my other comment is invalid. I never thought about looking at everything lined up like that. You have a valid point.

The "funniest" part of this is that Stormblood was supposed to have a bigger budget than ARR and HW, or so did Yoshi-P say, and I doubt that Eureka ate all those funds that they were boasting about. The icing on the cake is that the Mog Station has received more items than HW and ARR, plus the useless companion app.

And no, I'm not saying that that is where all the money went, but it can be frustrating to notice that.

Not really interested in the rewards. Loved the past Halloween costumes that I still use from time to time. Tired of housing items as well.

I'm looking forward to the decorations in town, and getting to purchase some items from past events as well as more stuff for my FC house. But I doubt I'll ever really use the minions. :/

atm all the artists are likely at work on the expansion and 4.5, but maybe theyll surprise us with something cool?

Halloween is more about dressing up in costumes. Something that SHOULD have had glamours. The extra items, sure, you can leave them in there, but that's the whole point of Halloween >_>

"Sir, we need new items for Halloween: the Holiday where you wear costumes and go out with other people in costumes to show off your costume to get candy. What should we make?"


Make everything except costumes

To be somewhat fair, it *is* also the holiday where you decorate your house.

A costume would have been nice but it's not as if we're aren't getting any rewards...

I probably won't use the minions myself but I'm not going to complain about +2 to my collection.

I was hoping for a skeleton costume this year since someone had entered one in the design contest. But, we’re stuck with minions. You’re right though. Dressing up is literally the best thing about Halloween (minus the candy!).

Good news, you can now purchase those past event items (from the mogstation)! Really wish they'd take a cue from WoW and just build up a bunch of things you can purchase from the event vendors over the years. They can still add things to the mogstation for those that miss the event and don't want to wait or just want to throw cash at what they want.

What fun is halloween if everyone gets the same costume anyway? Go make a unique one.

The reason WoW sells old event items is because the events themselves never change. The only real change they've ever made are the daily boss fights for a possible mount. Beyond that it's been pretty much rehashed content since day 1.

I'm fairly sure they made a few updates such as the wickerman ceremony and broom riding (which should be interesting this year considering the state of one location) for example to the halloween event. There are parts that are still the same, but they added on to them. We've had the manor run twice now, but rewards get stripped/replaced and I think "* Certain items available during previous iterations of the event can be obtained via the All Saints' Wake vendor." being plastered at the end of the event notices really gives false hope that maybe the mogstation hasn't swallowed up another set of holiday items. Personally, I'd like to stop having to shovel a boatload of items off into storage/retainers/apartments because they won't be available in game ever again.

Wow changes thing every once in a while and when they change things it's usually to add things to do and they have A LOT more events happening. Most events here are just a cute story quest and a repeatable activity. Moonfire Faire had no faire!

A new outfit would have been great, last year's Werewolf one is not my type, it's just ugly and that must be reason why it's so cheap on the MogStation!...


The Eerie outfit and the Witch's outfit are great but I can only wear the latter one without clipping issues with my current hairstyle!...


The Dracula(?) shirt is nice but it's just a ... ... ... shirt, where's the rest of the outfit!?...


The new furnishings are nice but they could have been better, the paw prints in particular, they could have randomized the size and positions so it'd look better and not like a generic wallpaper!...

It was like that years ago. Then the Mog Station came, and that option went away. SE is just a business, after all, so these things are kinda expected from them. But the community is partly at fault about that, as plenty of people didn't care about the change or even defended/justified it (among other stuff).

SE knows people will throw their wallets at them. That's why they keep doing it. At this point the cat's out of the bag and living in Panama by now. There's no going back and, sadly, no changing peoples' ways.
