Valentione 2020 Phase 2

[Anzaman]

It'd seem that I missed achievement from event too. I completed Quests, got my outfit and whilst waiting for patch to arrive.. played other games.

Honestly they should have just tied to achievement to obtaining outfit - not to some odd part about "coming to see the results". I participated in main event, just because I didn't join after-party, doesn't mean that I wasn't there.

Exactly (ToT).

"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.

Jeezus its like saying ive been in this game for a million years. Stop taking words serious to a whole new level jeeee
The purple msg is easy to forget cuse i too dont bother reading it cuse i ASSUME its the same as always lmao.

they tell you to come back after voting is over. it's all over the special page for it. peoples! LEARN. TO. READ.

And you. Reality check: im one of those who dont read event stuff unless it interest me to my taste. And whos blame for that? Us players and we deal with it.

EDIT: you all nitpicking so much that the OP already owned up for his/her mistake.

I honestly don't get why people thought I was blaming the devs. I was just bitter over missing the achievement and I clearly said in my first post:

I either didn't quite understand that there would be more quests later, or I had forgotten about it altogether.

The only thing I wish was different was getting the achievement after phase 1 instead of phase 2.

I second (or whatever number we are up to) this post. I know I missed it, and that is my fault, but the achievement really should have been tied to the same quest which gives the seasonal reward and not the final results. There have been events with cumulative results and state-changes in the world before but none relied on players coming back to gain the achievement or any unique rewards. I am not certain why they decided to go with this design this time but I am hoping they see this and realize it was not a great idea.

oh crap it ended?

I had put off going to do the finish quest once I found out Astrid won everywhere.... guess I missed this year's achievement.

Pro tip

Unless a Season event gives you an achievement it is not complete. This applies to every season event ever.

Yeah, but I was so used to doing the whole event in one go and be over with it. This was the first time where you had to come back for the achievement. That kind of break between the 2 phases in this event threw me off. I remember noting not receiving the achievement after voting, but I just totally forgot about that later (T_T).

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.

I guarantee you that more people would've been upset for being punished about not doing the event on Day 1.
