This years Christmas event..

I think that it was a bit silly and kind of dumb that the Christmas quests were daily quests? Forcing us to be online almost every single day of the holiday season if we wanted to get all of the items associated with the event.

I never understood why they made the event like this. I for one did not have enough time to play during the holidays so I missed out on a few of the items I'd have liked to get. Also, if you missed some, you don't even have the chance to buy them off the market board because you can't sell them.

I know it's a bit late to shout this out since the event is already gone as of today, but still, I'd have loved the event way more if I could have just done the quests a dozen times in one sitting obtaining everything possible from the event, like it has been in almost every other event during the past. Learn from this SE and don't do it like this next year please :/

Anyways, I wish a happy new year to everyone who happens to read this post! :)

Cash shop. Please look forward to it.

LOL...can't help but laugh cause it's so true.

if only the American team was actually here to read this.. @_@

I just started playing, only had 2 days, so I got my outfit and I got my minion and got out, not much to do if you don't want all the vanity furniture i'll never actually use.

Hmm
3 Event clothing items = 3 green
1 wreath = 3 green
1 snowman = 3 green
2 empty box = 6 green
1 stuff doll = 3 green
1 tree = 2 green
1 wallpaper = 3 green
1 minion = 6 green

Event last 13 days with a total of 6 green a day = 78 green. Total item purchase for all = 30. Total actually days to complete the quest = 5.

I will admit they should have extend it due to hacker screwing up PSN players :(

Done *per character* *per server*

8 characters, 5 minutes (ish) per character quest a day = up to 48 greens daily. Yes... daily. I was sick most of the event in bed, came back the last day and bought multiple of all the remaining items. No problems here. 1st day of the event all my characters got the outfits, 2nd day all of them get the minion. Last day of event, bought multiple of everything

Would you have preferred spamming FATE quests just like last year's Starfall event?

nothing force you, it is your choice. The only thing worth to get are the minion & the clothes and those take 2 days

I think you're blowing things out of proportion a bit, I did the daily quests twice and was able to get a minion and all of the gear. The only items I didn't get were the furniture/food but it would have only taken another 2-3 days participation in the span of weeks that the even was on to get those as well.

I hardly call that forcing you to be on every single day, the rewards were very easily obtained with very little effort and the dailies took maybe 5-10 minutes to complete all 3.

I spent more time doing the heavensturn event in total than the christmas event honestly.

You mean....they want you to log on....? And...play their game?! You mean more than once???

What kind of monsters are they?!

:P

I'm more pissed about running these dailies, grabbing a premium starlight bag for all but 2 of the days(minion&clothes) and having nothing to show for it other than 8 marmuk pears and about 2000 gil.

I don't think it was too bad, though I do wish they varied up the kid's location some, and maybe varied up the prize requirements so we'd have impetus to find different trees.

I saved up a weeks worth of premium bags and opened them all at once. I got mostly bronze and two silver pieces lol. I wasn't upset, I had fun just doing the quests and hanging out in the celebration areas. To me the event was a success.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything. It's an optional seasonal event, you're also given the option of what to buy with your stars.
