:( Gotta say that I am really disappointed for this years Starlight event. I was looking forward to possibly having a holiday tree to put inside or outside my FC's house. Doesnt make too much sense where they are giving presents, a snowman and even wreath yet no tree? guess ill end up stacking the presents in a corner under the wreath.
No holiday tree?

There are actually tree furnishings in the newly added .dats. Whether we can actually get them is another thing.

I bet they'll be added to the cash shop around the 20th.

No holiday tree - but hey, no house either to begin with.
No house - no holiday tree needed at all.
No problems. :') -

Can you say cash shop?
-
12-13-2014, 12:47 AMAlberel
It's in the game files but not listed as an event reward... so pretty safe bet they cut the tree to sell in the cash shop for extra. It's getting ridiculous...

Did you get the Ornamental Bamboo from the summer event? It's decently Christmassy.

Serious question for the community reps; Are the three trees in the dats planned for the cash shop?
If they are, please go back to the developers and slap them in the face for me. I'm not even joking... Season of giving... Great job SquarEnix... -
12-13-2014, 12:52 AMTupsiOr you know...Quote:

12-13-2014, 12:54 AMBreathlessTaoLike it says in the Gift Bag description: "during this season of giving, it is the thought that counts" - ie, they think we'll give them our money.Quote:

It's not a world object. It's a piece of furniture. -

Weird thing is, if you look at XIVDB you see that the trees were meant to be obtained by turning in fallen stars obtainable during the event. However on the official event site there are no signs of the trees. So if they put it in cash shop now it is clear they cut it from the game to just make an extra few bucks.
-
12-13-2014, 12:56 AMTupsiXIVDB parses the dats deeper than what SE's site does because SE doesn't want to throw in "spoilers", the people who run XIVDB doesn't care. Fyi, if it were to be in the cash shop it would have been added in the 2.45 update to the mog station.Quote:

Lets just not jump to conclusions.

Its called a Christmas tree, no need for your fancy political correct BS around here.
-
12-13-2014, 01:00 AMEvenstarUntil now ALL events had listed ALL items you could obtain when the event page went online. So that point is not really valid. Like I said, if they add it to the cash shop it is going to be really clear they cut it from the game (since XIVDB clearly shows it was inteded to be a part of the event). That is where I, someone that actually supports the cash shop, draw the line.Quote:

12-13-2014, 01:04 AMBreathlessTaoUm...y'know...just a thought, but... the Tokyo FanFest stream package is not up for sale yet, is it? I can see, just fine, an additional Christmas item or two getting added to the cash shop along with that. :/Quote:

12-13-2014, 01:06 AMAlberelWe're better off jumping to conclusions so they can change this ahead of time and avoid the backlash if they have indeed decided to sell it. SquareEnix decided to add a cash shop to this game, and one thing that results from that is constant paranoia amongst the players regarding what will and won't be available within the game itself. People have a right to be worried and voice concern regarding this ASAP.Quote:

12-13-2014, 01:30 AMNalienIt's a shame their default stance on anything players seem concerned about these days is radio silence. If these are or aren't in the cash shop, we wont know until it's too late.Quote:

12-13-2014, 01:34 AMEvenstarRadio silence often means that they know it is going to be a shit fest when they say something about it so they try to get it going as late as possible.Quote:

Considering things have only been added to the cash shop at major patches and they already added the christmas items for this year, it seems kind of dumb to expect them to surprise us with adding the trees to the cash shop at a later date. What would that even accomplish? They'd sell more if they were available now.
Also, they're an outdoor furnishing. The most they would possibly sell is limited by the number of houses that exist, that's a terrible item for the cash shop. I want a tree but I don't have permissions to place things at my FC's house, so even if they're free from the event I don't have any reason to get one. -

from what I've seen on xivdb, looks like they will be vendor items we exchange items for. From what starlight page says, I'm guessing we'll get these items from doing the daily quests.
Edit: Yea, I'm guessing trees will be the items added on christmas eve.
Quote:
A daily quest will become available in each of the three cities by progressing through the seasonal quests. These daily quests can each be undertaken once a day, and their completion will reward players with fallen stars exchangeable for Starlight Celebration seasonal goods.
* Certain seasonal goods attainable via daily quests will become available on Wednesday, December 24, 2014 at 7:00 a.m. (PST).
-
12-13-2014, 02:06 AMMomomiMomiJust an idea, but they might be added at this date. Which makes me sad as my sub runs out that day or the next. :(Quote:

Wouldn't it make more sense for the presents to appear on Christmas Eve? The Gift Bags especially, since they sound like an actual present (sound like a version of Quick Ventures).
Like I said earlier, it's possible they just forgot to put the trees under the event items list (and they should be there if we obtain them from the event). Issue is they haven't given me much reason to assume that lately, if they make mistakes like this, "Is it in the cash shop then?" is always going to be a question in the back of mine, and others, minds. That's one of the issues with the cash shop.
