All Saints Wake: Unacceptable.

[FoxyAreku]

The event's gonna suck anyway like all the others have for the last year, hard to care. I do wonder what hat I can't even wear or reskinned mount they'll give this time though.

And how dare North Americans enjoy a holiday right? For a lot of us in NA, it's the only Holiday we really enjoy and look forward to besides Christmas.

Seems pretty innocuous, doesn't it? Hand out loot to kids who go from door to door one night a year, demanding protection money.

Congratulations! Plenty of Americans do not celebrate Halloween - for religious reasons. Plenty of other countries (Japan included) don't necessarily celebrate the holiday on 31 October. Get upset. Rant and rail. It isn't going to move the date it starts one day forward.

Better late than not at all because I feel like that's the only real alternative what with Endwalker taking its place and all.

Last year we didn't even HAVE All Saint's Wake. This year it's scheduled for November 30th. That's a full month after Halloween for North America. There are all of these other events going on: So why is Halloween cancelled yet again? (Or in this case, GROSSLY late?)

Why can't we have All Saints Wake in October like it always is? You got rid of Halloween last year: If you have some other event taking place in October, you can scrap IT instead. Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in the U.S. and with the pandemic I for one was really, REALLY looking forward to an in game Halloween event since I can't even go out for Halloween (AGAIN.)

I don't want to be choosing between doing All Saints Wake or doing expansion content. PLEASE move All Saints Wake to October, like it SHOULD be.

It's Karens like you that make people in other countries thinks all Americans are like this, complaining about anything that is a minor annoyance at the least and a minor inconvenience at the most.... I much rather prefer an Expansion with FAR more content to drop in place of a Holiday event that has been here almost every year since the game was rereleased..... and I'm sure that the people that you are referring to in NA that like Halloween be they gamers or not are going to be out celebrating and partying instead of singing their whiny woes about an in game holiday event. Covid's here to stay and it will take so much longer then everyone like you thinks it's going to take for things to get back to normal. Be glad the game is here still for people to enjoy and connect with each other, instead of spewing your toxic filth...

Did those events happen at the same time as an expansion launch? Because if not, you're making a false comparison.

Last I checked October 31st and November 23rd aren't the same date. They could have easily replaced the Dragon Quest crossover with the Hallows Eve one.

Let's not pretend these "events" are major undertakings. They're re-used character models and a few paragraphs of dialog.

Generally completable in 20-30 minutes.

Better late than not at all because I feel like that's the only real alternative what with Endwalker taking its place and all.

This is why timing is important and lots of MMOs do major releases in spring or summer. Because once you get into fall you start getting into the major holiday season and then there's an excuse to delay pretty much everything.

Um... would you rather have it cancelled (by the reasons we all know) again? I surely would not.

Plus, let's be real, the event questlines usually takes 30min at best...

The rerun was already completed and didn't add anything to the game. (no new assets, dialogue, characters, etc)

If the all saints wake quest was ready they would have released it.

[Trekkie22]

Well it was either release it in November or not release it at all.

Take your pick.

I love All Saint's Wake myself so I'm glad we're at least getting one this year.

[Anya_Synia]

For everyone giving the BS excuse about the expansion: We've had three events in the span of a month. But Halloween being on time is too much to ask for? It's just that one event has to be pushed back to November? Yeah you may as well cancel the stupid thing no one gives two hoots if it's in November. Halloween has already come and gone and it'll be thanksgiving moving into Christmas. That's like having a summer event while it's cold outside. It makes no sense.

They've had all of these other events go off without a hitch but that's your excuse for All Saints Wake? I could buy it if it was affecting all of the events, but it isn't: They're still pumping out all of these other events left and right. So pardon me while I don't buy that 'they're working on the expansion' BS for this 'one' event in particular.

And how dare North Americans enjoy a holiday right? For a lot of us in NA, it's the only Holiday we really enjoy and look forward to besides Christmas.

Because the other events weren't right on top of the release as others have said they are in bug fixing mode right now. The noctis event and dragonquest event were both old. You are talking about a new event right on top of the release of endwalker.

Karens

You negate your entire rant by stooping to the level of name-calling. Yeah, I know it's super popular and fashionable to bully people that act a certain way by calling them 'Karen', but it's really cringe, since usually the behavior being decried by branding someone a 'Karen' is socially unacceptable.

News flash: Name calling is 'socially unacceptable'. 'Karen' this and 'Karen' that. Did you not learn in grade school to call people by their names? Did you not learn that 'renaming' someone else based on a behavior you don't personally like, is perpetuating negativity? Did no one ever teach you not to name-call?

2021: You must behave like X or Y in public. If you rant, and it's caught on camera, or written in a forum, we of social purity will call you names to embarrass you. We think this is the best way to improve the human race - belittling people.

Calling someone Karen is, in essence, bullying. It's friggin' laughable when the 'Karen' name-call is accompanied by some diatribe about how horrible the 'Karen' is acting.

Pot? Meet kettle.

Try 'person' instead of Karen. Making one's self look superior at the expense of others is a really, really, really bad look... and if one cannot get a point across without calling names, their argument or point (whatever it may be) is on shaky ground from the start, because they clearly can't get it across without going the middle-school "haha, karen" route.

Humans are disgusting sometimes. Everyone jumping on a bandwagon and deciding the best way to curb behavior they don't like is to call names. Holy crap folks, really? It seems so very sixth-grade to me. A kid is walking down the hall after having a rant for whatever reason - be it valid or invalid - and they get "...Oh, there goes Karen again! Hahahah!" while everyone chuckles at the remark and the bully gets a high-five.

I guess bullying in school is not good; #STOPBULLYING.gov and #Antibullyingweek and #Stompoutbullying are fairly popular. We teach our children not to body-shame, not to shame based on race, or color. Not to shame folks for their gender or sexual preference. If someone is mentally or physically disabled, we don't shame them either.

But when you become an adult? If someone's rant about such-and-such is quite different from what you would rant about, then bullying them is very acceptable, and encouraged.

Grow. The. Hell. Up. Please. Someone, somewhere come to their senses and realize the best way forward isn't to become a sixth-grade bully. Why are we going backwards?
