Feedback on the Easter Event (Hatching Tide)

[Mysteltain]

I really enjoyed the quests, although I feel that you shouldn't be forced to party up with people on the same part of the quest as you are; it should just be anyone who wants to party up with you. There were a lot of people I noticed (myself included) who missed a part and waited 20+ minutes for a single person to party up with. It's not a major complaint, but it would certainly help out others who, for whatever reason, missed out sections of the quest line. I feel really bad for anyone who waited until now to do it... getting four people is gonna be pretty hard for them at this point.

As for the egg hunt, I enjoyed the initial hunt, but once I found all of the La Noscean Spriggan locations I would just make my rounds every few hours to see if someone took them out. I only encountered the free-for-all FATE once by pure luck, and it was really fun trying to get as many Spriggans with four other people competing for them. I've never seen the boss FATE, so I can't comment on it.

The Bronze Egg rewards were suitably okay, getting some low-tier materia, prisms, and bronze coins. I haven't opened any Silver, so I can't comment on those. The Gold rewards, from what I hear, were largely great, although I only ever got Platinum Allagan Pieces (10,000 gil at a vendor).

If I could suggest some changes, I'd like to see the egg hunt literally become an egg hunt. Throughout the map there would be eggs--maybe 30 or so--that respawn in random locations on each map, maybe every two hours or so. They wouldn't have a sparkle or any noticeable indicator, and they would be small to the point that you'd need to zoom in your camera to get a good look at one. The distribution would be something like 25 Bronze Eggs, 4 Silver Eggs, 1 Gold Egg. Keep the Spriggans, but have it so only a few spawn when all the eggs in a map are collected, give them absurdly high Evasion, and make it so they run about at a Sprint speed over the map. A little elaborate, yeah, but it'd be fun to see a bunch of players chasing after a Spriggan who keeps dodging every single attack, haha! They'd drop Silver Eggs, and if all of them are downed within, say, 10 minutes, the boss Spriggan will appear as a FATE and defeating him will net a Gold Egg.
