Anyone else feel like this year's moonfire faire was a waste?

I mean the fate to do the event was already out since launch so the event was really to just redeem your swim suits.

And it felt different from the previous events. Before you go particpate at any level because you would just perform "/firedance" and beat the enemies.

Also I thought the purpose of the event was have fun with a little mini game for a while to collect all of the event gear, but I felt the respawn rate was a bit too low. I don't think seasonal fates should run in the same order as regular FATES. I mean seasonal fates should be in an area where fates usually do not occur and not be dependent on what number of fates are currently active.

It should stand alone and play over and over again. So people don't have to wait if there only intention is to get the event gear. They could even reduce the number of bombard ash to 10 for gold and 7 for silver and 5 for green like they usually did...

I saw Body pieces and Leg pieces, but no Waist pieces.

:rolleyes:

Lol you got me in the spelling. I corrected it...

Wait - I didn't know anything about this. Where do you redeem what? I did the fate in Costa and got the ash stuff but where do you redeem? Is it still going on?

There should be one in all the starting areas.... like before.

There may be one in all major zones, actually. There are level 5 ones, and level 10 ones.. probably 15 and 20 as well. They added them all over, it's not just the old one that always was there, that one isn't related to the event and is more of an easter egg FATE that drops the ash all year round.

I enjoyed it :D

There was an event in the game?

Anyone know the name of the Fate?

Found a level 5 one in Central Thanalan 24:30 called "return of the king" or something like that. Basically kill spawned bombs that gather around a big bomb. Got 30 ash in 5 mins or so.

The ash looks like it may be sellable.

Just started this morning. Please look forward to it!!

I want my yukata...

So i had many stacks of ash before this "event". I got all the beach gear i'll ever need and now what? Surely i missed something and we're supposed to use these items for something right?

On another note, is the armoury event item cap 20 slots? I can't seem to deposit more pieces.

So are swimsuits the only thing you get?

Can you only get the swimsuit from the event or is it like 1.0 and you also can get a kimono?

2011 - swimsuit
2012 - yukata

Never was there a summer event that gave you swimsuit and yukata.

It would be better if the Event FATE is not a killing FATE, but a /emote FATE like the last 2 summer events. It's funnier to kill bombards with emotes.

I like the concept, although the balance is off (it's really hard to win without a bunch of people there, but the bombs are pretty easy). And the wait for the fates to restart is too long IMO.

I didn't know anything about it but I did do that costa fate....thought it was just another fate lol.

I know, I had enough ash to buy one of every piece of swimgear my character can wear. Its now sitting in my armoire. Is there anything else to do, except kill bombs for ash to buy clothes?

I found it pointless. I acquired some stuff I'll never wear. Is pretty much useless and discarded it when I found out it couldn't be stored in the chest in the inn. It was very lack-luster. Requiring no time or thought. Except for where to buy stuff or participate in FATE for the event because the NPC told you only about Costa. Over all, a waste of space and time. Bring on the patch.

They said that for ARR the first year would be redoing the swimsuits, 2nd year would be redoing yukatas.

Funnily, the veteran rewards in the first set also include a voucher for a swimsuit... <.<;



I haven't gotten to the point I could have the rewards yet, but I've gotten all the swimsuits from the event for my character XD

by the look of the vet rewards we get the new swimsuits IN BLACK :D

Just curious will there be more added to the event or is it just ``get a swimsuit`` and instantly get the achievement + title in under 5 minutes (because I had already recieved the currency from questing before the event) ?

I dunno I guess I kinda like events from other mmo`s that make you work towards something or have multiple facets that take a decent amount of time to accomplish and that you can do with friends. Are the other events in this game going to have more substance? Like special dungeons, items to grind for (ie pets + mounts), quests, achievements, etc?

Some other people stated they had no problems either. I don't know why but none of my unique gear shows up as an option to place in the chest for me.

I was sad that the music and the firedance didnt make a return :(
I loved running around in town with fireworks in the sky and doing the dance. haha
