A bit of a rant about Make It Rain and All Saints Wake

[JamieRose]

Seems like most people agree. The event is underwhelming and disappointing. I bought the last gold saucer mount I need and there really isn't anything left for me to buy with MGP, aside from the game machines which are far too large for a small house or apartment. This kind of smacks of something that was thrown together hastily so they don't have to spend time on an event. Given that the Halloween event was pulled, and I'm going to predict there won't be a XMas event either, I think they could have done a little more, or a lot more.

I mean, the reason they dont had time to spent on one (or two) large events was this little thing called "Covid19-pandemic" - they lost a couple of weeks (3 or 4, I think?) during the first lockdown until they had workstations running in peoples homes. My guess would be that when they decided what to cut, the choice was easly made to cut those seasonal events instead of "normal" content.

They simply lost some time that they wont get back.

And every single one of these events are literally nothing more than asset re-use and dialog.

That's it.

Lets not pretend that any of this should take tons of hours of development time.

This 100% ... sure event stories are cute but they take 15-20 minutes tops to complete each time and then have a currency or repeatable quest for rewards. Just kind of sad that this is literally the only mmo I know of who's skipped out on a holiday. Or if they HAD to cut content.. cut another holiday instead of the one people really look forward to? Makes you wonder how long the . it was covid and we're behind excuse will last or how many future events we're not going to get.

This was probably the only, or at least easiest one to cut. Work had probably already started on Moonfire and the Rising when the decision to cut a holiday was made, while All Saints Wake was still farther out.
