All Saints' Wake 2020

[Vespar]

I'd much rather see events get cancelled than see the patch windows further extended or half-arsed contents come out.

Dont get me wrong, its sad that we wont see much of All Saint's Wake this year, but better that than the whole patch or a half hearted attempt at an event.

There might not even be a Halloween. Doctors could claim getting candy from the whole neighborhood could aggravate the pandemic.

Could you possibly have a worse take than this?

I mean, it is a valid point that helps keep some things in perspective. 2020 is a bit of a dumpster fire at this point, and losing a holiday event in a video game is rather minor compared to everything else happening. That's not to say you can't be disappointed and bummed out, but you do have to keep in mind that this is affecting so much outside of our virtual world, and some things are just going to be cut.

I love Halloween and I love game events, so I totally get it..just gotta keep some perspective.

This and the dev team clearly did the best the can and said "We apologize to those who were looking forward to All Saints’ Wake, but we ask for your understanding in this matter."

And people STILL take to the forums to whine. People are dying due to this pandemic. Sorry you don't get to transform into an NPC but this dev team is working their butts off for us. They deserve better during this time.

You can be disappointed of course but maturity is just taking it instride and being a compassionate individual when the games producer acknowledges it and asks for understanding.

I'm glad, Gold Saucer is more an Eorzean event, halloween is just a real life event, you can enjoy halloween in real life.
That's one thing I like about FFXI more than XIV, the events are based on the world of the game instead of celebrating events that people can already celebrate in real life.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I can understand the disappointment. But... also I'm happy they're taking a break from it too. The Haukke Manor thing was fun and interesting a few years ago, but even now it's just kind of dull to see it again year after year. I feel the same way about the hedge maze for Valentine's

They tune all of the events to make sense in game lore, and they all differ slightly to their real life counterparts.

Same, I'm getting tired of those reused minigames being required to get all the limited time items.
