So this 1 year anniv. event.

[Alegis]

I guess fanboys will defend anything SE does even if it's utterly pointless.

I guess haters will enter rage-mode whatever SE does even if it isnt that bad.


This isnt a "big and wonderful event which gave me thousands of hours full of fun", but SE never said it will be.
Sooooo.... a tent with 4 NPCs talking about their Grand Company, 1000 free seals, new fireworks and 6 achievements are still better than nothing.

Seeing how this is more related to Grand companies looking for members than a 1 year anniversary event, from a new player perspective, seeing the NPC's /saying stuff and drawing them to what GC's are is mission complete for me!

[Fated]

I'm actually wondering why SE would even take out the NPCs and the tent when this "event" is over. They add a bit of flair to otherwise empty spots in the cities and it's not like a seasonal event that wouldn't make sense to keep going endlessly. Plus, they are advertising for the Grand Companies, drawing in new players (if there are any) to seek them out.

Memory. This is why almost every MMO removes event releated assets after the events are over.

Delayed.

The patch, that is.

But ya, the 30th is the official anniversary date and though we are getting the patch few days late, that's more than enough for me. You know, progress being made on the game. That's a nice anniversary gift.

Im not sure if that's Sarcasm or not, but SE did Officially say that that patch has been played yet, They said there's a chance it might, but no Official word on it :P

What? I can understand that for events that have nothing to do with the actual game, but this event is something that fits into the game's "story" or whatever you want to kill it right now.

And I guess ragers will rage about anything even when they're given 1000 free GC seals from it.

Woo, 1k seals that I can use to buy nothing interesting! My main city doesn't even sell Gladiator gear so it doesn't matter.

This 'event' is as bad as the bells. Go interact with something, get free stuff. If that's your thing then you should be pitied. Not by me, though.

Yeah, I think he is just putting his mind on it being a couple days late because it's better to expect a delay since they happen more often than not, but you're right. He never said that it definitively will be late. I think they are actually trying really hard to release it on time because it's their anniversary date. I also think it will be on time for that very reason, but then again... better 2-4 days late than being released on time, but without a couple of things we'd have to wait for in an A or B patch.

when 1.19 comes out there will be interesting things to buy with seals, like... chocobos.

Grand company was another part of the game that would appear had never been finished by the time the game was released.

Oh wow, chocobos. /sarcasm. Hopefully they can take damage so I can just run into aggro mobs and let them die. That'll be worth getting one for. Especially if I can /dance on the dead body.

Unless there's Gladiator gear in the maelstrom shop with Limsa flair then there won't be anything worth getting for me.
