Valentione 2020 Phase 2

[Eien713]

Hi, everyone.

So the Valentione event 2020 ended today and I was really upset after watching Meoni's video and realizing that I had missed the quest added after voting had concluded and I had thus missed the achievement too despite actually participating in the event I was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation as me and what their thoughts are about this. To be honest, I'm a bit angry at this because I'm used to being done with the event after finishing it, so missing the achievement for this event has left me really bitter. I either didn't quite understand that there would be more quests later, or I had forgotten about it altogether. I really wish we had gotten the achievement after voting instead of finishing the additional quest. I know there have been instances where SE had done additional quests after we had gotten the achievement.

So what do you guys think?

I think they put an announcement on the chat log every time you log in. As you said meoni done a video on it a week ago. And the general curiosity of you taking part in the vote, there must be an outcome.
It is what it is I guess.

I won't lie; I didn't pay attention to the purple message you get when you log in. I guess I just assumed it was still saying the same thing, and I haven't been on much lately. I also thought that the vote was only for the decoration. As for Meoni, it was his "FFXIV: Valentiones Day Post Mortem" video that I saw earlier. I don't recall hearing about this in any of his other videos that I watched. If it was a tea time video, I kinda don't watch them ^^;

It actually told you every time you logged on the voting as concluded and it told you to go see the quest giver or something.
Either way, sorry you missed out but its on you sadly.

The idea was great on paper, but not so great with its execution. I don't think it should have been postponed for so long. Maybe day 2 of the event would have been better. To be honest, it was only because of the forums that I decided to log in and finish because I simply didn't know about the vote. I've been on an extended break so I've mostly just been logging in and out every couple weeks. But still, I think it could have been handled a bit better.

Yeah, I know I definitely share part of the blame, but since I thought I was done with the event, I didn't see a need to log in that much. And since this is the first time ever that they had done something like this for an event, I guess this contributed to my predicament. I was so used to how previous events were done. Luckily, we'll be able to put the stuff we got in the Armoire in the next patch, so I guess it's not that bad. Losing 10 slots of inventory is such a waste.

When you completed the first stage of the event, Lisette specifically tells you to come back and speak to her again once the voting period is over.

Yeah, but I did that part ages ago and totally forgot what happened in it.

"Ages ago" meaning "two weeks"...?

I'm sorry, they had multiple announcments in multiple ways - Lisette telling you about it, the log in message, the special website stating it... if you dont look or remember any of those, it really seems like a problem you created for yourself and nothing the devs are to blame for. They wanted to give everyone time to cast their vote without having to rush through the quest within the first two days and told you again and again that there would be a follow up quest.

To be fair, people rush through it over the course of a few days anyway. By the time the end of the event rolls around very, very few people have not completed it and those that did were 100% done with it within the first few days.
