Please make seasonal/holiday events more apparent in-game
I have been discussing the recent moon earring event with someone on lodestone, who apparently had no idea the event was going on until she came across it on the forums. We believe we should be notified in-game somehow of these events being available in the cases like this one where it's not easily apparent and there's no special music. We're aware the NPCs for these quests shout at you when you walk by, but it's somewhat easy to miss.
We had a few ideas that might help solve this:
- Provide a new NPC linkpearl for events
If this was implemented the NPC linkpearl would light up when an event was going on, and a NPC involved in the event could give us some basic information on the event and where to start it.
- Add a message to the system message upon logging in
A simple note upon logging in, at least letting us know something is going on, along with possibly a URL for either lodestone or the event page itself.
- Add a link to the event information on the login page
Add a little banner ad for the event before or after logging in and before we actually enter the game that will link to the event's lodestone page.
Thank you very much! Please post any other ideas you may have.
