There are more asian themed items coming. School Girl and School Boy Hakamas if I remember correctly with similar effects to the Maid/Butler Mogshop variants.

I'm so ready: https://youtu.be/Fxo9wVQw-vA?t=436 lol.

Huh... disappointing. I don't want to complain too much, but there's no other way to put it.

It's an odd choice too, tank and crafter aren't exactly two of the most popular roles, a good portion of the playerbase won't have any use for any of this.

It'd be a little less underwhelming if the sword was at least pink or had heart effects. Its such a dull looking sword :0

The shortest way to someone's heart is through the ribcage? <3

I wouldn't mind SE turning Valentine's into a waifu holiday if Little Ladies Day didn't already exist with no celebration for boys... Hi, I play this game and I am sick of cute girl/waifu culture, please stop putting more of it in the game than there already is.

As for the rewards my sub is stopped so I probably won't resub for them unless I do some math and the resub time matches up with the next bit of the 4.5x content drop. I don't really mind Valentine's having less awesome rewards since we got nice gear from the Christmas event, but I do wonder how a DRK weapon and a CUL off-hand were determined to be the rewards... wouldn't something usable by everyone like a choker be better?

Can't say anything about the game play until I've seen it but IMO getting a mount is better than not getting one. Last year's love maze was awesome. I also liked completing the meta achievement for seasonal events in WoW.

The issue with WoW's holidays is it's the same content rehashed every year. People only do the content that can drop a mount, which is usually the first week then we would all burn out on it. The only time the holidays were truly active was when we where told all the holiday transmogs would be put in our (then) new transmog journal when Legion hit. It came and went, nothing was added and a few items form holidays we could glamour had the option taken away.

I kinda get what you are saying. The lack of guys seems wierd this time.

I hope the story isn't another generic anime lesbian cringe fest. We already see plenty of those everywhere. If anything, it should be a fun story about people who aren't in love like the description suggests, but that picture doesn't seem like it. Hopefully they don't start pushing politically driven agendas all over the place. I just want to play a fun game and not have the game tell me all the time "look at these gay people, they are so gay, you should accept them and be gay too." There's already enough cringe in duty finder. Those RPing people make Palace of the Dead a even bigger slog to do by not hurrying up, and instead they just stand right outside the teleporter doing affection emotes wasting everyone's time. There's also very little content celebrating men. All of these pictures are always girls. At least put a guy in there. Now it don't gotta be love oriented but most of these events never put a focus on men.
