SE gave away all my cool 1.0 stuff!

[Camate]

Greetings, everyone.

Due to the fact that we received a lot of requests to make the previous seasonal event rewards available again in the future, the development team decided to do just that. Moving forward we will continue to release seasonal event items from the past in addition to releasing brand-new ones.

I don't think anyone was confused about WHY you guys did it.. we just think it was a lame decision. The seasonal event items don't even bother me because seasons come every year and it makes sense that the items would too.

For me, it's more about things like the goobbue mount that were supposed to be one time only things. Yeah sure, the new one is "different," but come on... it's really not.

Oh please, stop being selfish.

If SE decides to start giving away Dalamud minions in the game to everyone, I won't start crying that I'm not a precious little princess anymore.

You're definitely overestimating how upset I am. I just said it was a lame decision, not that I'm going to rage quit. I stand by what I said, and I don't think it's selfish.

And the dalamud minion isn't a 1.0 thing? Bad example.

It's actually a good example because it's a limited time offer.

And yeah, you are being selfish.

I still think it's a bad example. Something you paid for outside of the game isn't the same as something you got for a limited time only from within the game itself from a time when no one else was playing. I have a dalamud minion too, and I couldn't care less if they gave them out.

And I still don't think holding them to their word is being selfish, but apparently you do so...

But your complaint isn't necessarily about something being found in-game versus something being acquired out of it. Your complaint stems from the unique or special aspect of the goods. Otherwise, you'd have little problem with the Goobbue mount since it's, as you also said, "different". The Dalamud minion qualifies in that case as being unique and/or special. And the only reason you don't care about the minion is because of how common/simple it was for the current community to acquire... not to mention that a mount is much flashier than a minion, particularly a damn Goobbue.

I personally have all those things from 1.0, and the vet related goods, but I really don't care very much. It was bound to happen sooner or later, mainly because of how awesome of an idea it is to have. The only slap in the face that I can truly see as a worthwhile complaint (as in nothing more than a facepalm or discouraging sort of complaint) is if they released Veteran campaign and ARR one-off rewards as an option for everyone. This includes the unique vet Chocobo, the sub pricing, Lightning/XI/DQ-related goods (minus maybe the hair option), Dalamud minion, etc.

Don't say "We" cause you don't think for me, lose the whole "I want to be the only one with this item attitude" people don't get jealous or envy you because of that they don't care because they know later down the road something way cooler will come out least that's how I think about it.

Indeed! There's so many things from 1.0 that I seem unable to get now! Examples:


Onion set (Helmet, Doublet, Gaskins, Pattens);
Hermes' Shoes/Garlong Goggles/Peregrine Helm (Think these were old CE rewards, maybe make it a veteran reward?);
Rings of the Twelve (The player used to receive the ring matching their Guardian at the beginning of the game);
Dalamud Horn/Moonlet (Maybe make 1.0 scenario-related quests related to them? Different colored versions would be fit too);
Chocobo Mask (so tired to be an headless chocobo!);
Asuran Armguards (I don't even know how these were obtained, but they look so damn cool);
Adventurer's accessories (Neck, Ears, Wrist, Ring);
Moogle Earrings;
Manderville Earrings;
Eorzean Bliaud;
Wood Wailer's Jacket;

But most of all...

Star-spanged subligar!! WANT!

Just to clarify, the onion helm was the only 1.0 CE virtual item reward. For some reason though, a lot of people mix it up with the peregrine helm. Granted, one's a recolour of the other, but the perry was bought by trading in 30(?) crystals gained from normal game play to an NPC in Grid. The non helm parts of the onion set could be earned as random rewards for faction leves (a type of leve that doesn't exist anymore) but the onion helm was the 1.0 CE item and could not be received any other way in game.

I think the Asuran Armguards were the item code that was supposed to come with the Standard Edition of the game, though no one here in Australia seemed to know anything about them when I bought my CE (I tend to chat when I buy games so I talked with the EB Games guys about the SE even though I wasn't buying it) so I'm wondering if only some were able to get them...

Anyone know what the Eorzean Bliaud is or where it came from though? I don't remember that o.o
