All Saints Wake: Unacceptable.

[BaconBits]

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 yourself look superior at the expense of others is a really, really, really bad look... and if you cannot get a point across without calling names, your argument or point (whatever it may be) is on shaky ground from the start, because you 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. Walking down the halls after being seen ranting, "...Oh, there goes Karen again! Hahahah!" while everyone chuckles at your remark.

I guess bullying in school is not good, #STOPBULLYING.gov and #Antibullyingweek and #Stompoutbullying are fairly popular.

But when you become an adult?

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.

Indeed. Attitudes like this are at the core of the issue. But you do your indifference, it's your prerogative.

Everyone thinks our huge social issues are elsewhere, and when someone climbs a tower and snipes a crowd, people go, "Oh my god, why did that happen?!?!"

But no one wants to look at day-to-day behavior, which is at the root of all this horrible crap.

Making others feel bad by calling names - and in turn making one's self feel better - isn't right, it isn't good, and it's not helping anyone on Earth. But, I suppose anyone apt to call 'Karen' at any given time or place is inclined to take your side, instead of mine, and say... "OK."

So, OK then. Bullying over here is abhorrent but bullying over there is worthy of a YouTube compilation, with a million views.

Let me off this planet.

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.

It's not like they chose a November release for the hell of it. Without the unavoidable covid delays this likely would have been landing in late Summer. So I'm not sure of the point your making unless you think it'd be better to delay the expansion into next year just to preserve the timing of holiday events.

Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in the U.S.

Halloween is for children. Other than parties, what really is there for an adult to do? More adults play this game than children.

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.

While I get where you're coming from, All Saints is only based on Halloween, so there's no real reason it has to be held in the same timeframe.

Seasonal events have never been a main focus and while I'm personally sad that each year the rewards get more and more basic, it'salso fluff content that has no real effect on the game.

I promise you that the expansion is not going anywhere so even if you spend an hour max on All Saints', you can go back to doing the MSQ.

Halloween may be very popular in the US but not only is the Holiday not exclusive to the US, neither is the game so please don't make it about that.

Not exactly. It's enjoyed by people of all ages in various ways. Heck, even some adults still go trick or treating. Personally, I enjoy the holiday just knowing what day it is. I love the general aesthetic of Halloween. Everyone's got their own way of enjoying it.

Please just don't have any more food/outdoor furnishings. I'd love some new glamour but I ain't holding my breath for that, but for Thal's sake, I own a house and still realize it's a dick move to make one of the event items something only ~5% of the playerbase can actually use. And there's enough food furniture.

Know whats cringe? Saying something is cringe.

Oh wait...

Anyways, do you need to speak with a manager?

Any particular reason this thread was brought back to life? It dies 2 months ago... You know what, I'll go with "to stir up drama".
