The Rising - Another disappointing event

[Unholychinchilla]

I wasn't expecting much from this Rising event for one reason:

It's the third Rising within ShB patches. If their schedule hadn't been pushed me back by delays, this likely would have been shortly after EW release and had a wind-up [6.0 character that everyone loved] bit instead we're still a few months away.

This event simply wouldn't have been in the roadmap for 5.0 to 6.0 development, but it's the anniversary so can't really be cancelled so we have to make do with what can be thrown together quickly.

Huh. I was expecting a minion. Pretty neat parasol, though.

If you were expecting an outfit with 'The Rising' event then that's on you for building your own expectations, as others have said outfits have never been rewarded with 'The Rising' with exception to 2018 which rewarded earrings, but earrings do not an outfit make.

I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation to desire bigger and better things over time. Especially when competitors don't seem to be struggling to offer unique rewards each time their respective seasonal events swing around.

Everyone mentioning outfits. How about the damn minion we’re supposed to get every time. They know how popular an Emet minion is and they really couldn’t have made one?

Mayhap they're waiting to let us get one during a msq? Or they're going to make emet selch plush so we can hold him and squeeze him and make him do his goodbye wave. ☆_☆.

Ahem excuse me while I go squeal at the thought of an emet plush....

you think they are gonna give out a Emet selch minion for free?
he is 100% gonna be a lore/Art book or CD bonus item minion

I can totally see it going this route. I have no interest in the books/CDs, but you best believe I'll be petting any and all Emet minions I see running around. :3

Oh cool, an umbrella. I'll totally be using it haha...

I mean it would be nice for them to not lock things behind more cash shop items…but it’s SE so i know it’s likely. Just sad that we get less content and they can’t even give us the littlest of things.
