Can we get a month without a seasonal event?

[Elexia]

I agree, but at least the stuff we're getting in this game isn't as useless as the event stuff we got in XI. I liked these Easter rings because (when I got them) I was leveling my lancer (which was about 16).

err...Anniversary rings, extending costume time (which are popular as hell..who doesn't like running around as little boy/girls and monsters?) Ark Angel weapons, Warp Staffs, reraise wands etc etc are definitely not useless lol. So the ones in XIV has a bit more battle use for example, XI's were more for fun with the exception of the anniversary rings.

I love seasonal and holiday events in MMOs. It feels empty without them. Please keep them coming!

I also love the fact that it gives me achievements and goals to fulfill.

Never thought I'd see anyone in this game criticize for having too much content...

I'm just happy that these events are more thought out than bells. Remember that? Breaks the monotony up a bit.

I know I don't have to do them, but when they are in achievements that you have one shot at I feel required.

Also this is Eorzea not earth, shouldn't they have their own holidays. Sure they wrap it in lore than ties it to that world, but honestly they are this worlds holidays. So unique holidays to the world, and less of them so they feel special when one comes around is what I am asking for.

Sorry my brain is scrambled eggs right now

Like you said, you don't have to do it. Gezz 2 hours to do the events won't mess up your hair.

the easter event was bullshit. I love events, but I just hated this one.

You can't put that many rewards linked to a timer in order to obtain eggs to clear the event. That's just wrong.

I got so frustrated I ended up buying all my eggs.

To top things off I got a repeated hat from last year 'cause the system doesn't account for it being stored in a retainer.

Ark Angel weapons?

I feel the same way, these events provide options for what to do in game. The more options the better IMO. I really like how this event has different rewards! However, the thing that does bothers me a bit is that the equipment does clog up inventory space and is admittedly kind of useless. >_< I wish they had something like 5 buffs or teleports of your choice. The good news is I've heard that event storage NPCs are coming... very soon I hope. lol

As far as achievements for events, I'm all for them! However, for those that don't like them, there could be like a small "options" button on the achievements menu. From there, you could hide event or any other achievements you don't want to see on the main achievements menu. For those that don't like events at all, maybe there could be a separate city created just for events. It would spare them from having to see the event NPCs in the main cities. I would be so willing to compromise like this to see more events and event content in the game.

They could add Anima Gear? Like 15 anima/30/50/99 Anima. Just like the teleport gear in 11, you could just use it for Anima, plus have your own anima on top of it. So it would be like extra anima. You could buy with seals/get from holiday event.

If they abolish Anima in 2.0, we could go back to teleport ring/staff.

You mad, bro?

I would rather have items with static stats than anima/teleports, personally. The event items in FFXI had such limited use or long cooldowns, I ended up never using them because I wanted to save them for a rainy day.

I like the Hatching-Tide items, especially the rings which aren't bad for some low-mid level classes. I'm actually digging the Midnight Egg Ring. This was well done, IMO.

Things like the Pumpkin Heads and the Dream gear (Santa outfits) that have worthless stats and are just to wear around town for funsies are somewhat disappointing. I wish they were more useful.

Due to the fact most of the items have worthless stats, they largely get banked on my retainer after the event is over. I'm glad that event storage is coming, as well.
