How I would do Starlight Celebration

[Miguel85NYC]

Rather have that then another godsdamn Society grind with a 2 week timer to get it done or screw you pay money.

I'm sure if they DID something like that, the event whole last a whole month.

I mean, i advocate for having the vendor be updated every year with past rewards and new rewards like every other mmo. the way square does it is scummy as hell, putting it on the store? really?

When you start the event, you get the normal quest line but once you complete the main story of the event, it opens up 3 dailies that you can do to earn *SnowFlakes* currency.

Dailies-

1. You have to fly on Santa sly and throw gifts down at the kids in some of the towns outside the main cities

2. Throw a snowball at 10 different players

3. Defeat the Evil Grinch in a Fate

Rewards-
100 Flakes -Mount,
50 Snowflakes - Minion,
80 Snowflakes - Glamour weapons,
40 Snowflakes- Housing items

In regards to dailies, people who can't play every day, maybe just once a week, would have a huge disadvantage to get the event rewards.

I understand what you are saying, but to me it's a double-edged sword.

Day 1 I would be excited to see what is new, day 2 I would be vibing, by day 3 I would be tired of the chores and busywork, and it would blend into the background for "shit I am not mentally present doing", and I would really not find particularly interesting either, hell I'd be immensely annoyed if the minigames took more effort than Society daily, because then it would both be boring, and require enough attention for it to click with me how boring it is.

I agree that past rewards should be purchasable in-game rather than paid item store, but that's almost a different issue in my eyes, if about the same subject.

I kinda miss the seasonal bosses that WoW had, like the Greench and Coren Direbrew. I wouldn't mind if they had a trial that returned each year that you can get new rewards each time it comes back. Can have like a level 50 version and a max level hard version.

As for people crying about your idea being too much work...well it's why we now have events where all you do is talk to a couple NPCs. They complain about the game being too much work then complain about the game being dumbed down.

I find it crazy that people actually complain about having to play in a video game... " you forcing me to play a video game!?"

if all they want to do is read then go play the library simulator game.

[Miguel85NYC]

They could use the Mogpendium format for it too

Journey trough the snow:
Complete Stone vigil - 5 flakes
Complete Snowcloak - 5 flakes
Complete Lapis Manalis - 5 flakes
Etc etc

Queen of frost:
Defeat Shiva (Hard) - 10 Flakes

Cold catch:
Fish the Matriarch - 50 Flakes

Etc etc... they could expand it to almost every aspect of the game, tag snoflakes into roulettes too and boom, you have lots of incentives to play the game more during the event

I really like what you thinking!

I would find a real boss that you can do much more interesting, my complaint is the idea of doing random FATEs, that you would need to wait around for them to respawn, even if they respawned frequently, and it would be dead in moments cuz of player density, at least in the first few days of the event(something that is already an issue every time they rerun Yokai Watch), and you better be quick on the gun or you'd have to wait all over again, but something you could que for and even form farm parties for would be far more amicable.

You are really misrepresenting what people are saying, we are mostly arguing against busywork, your suggestions are Society daily quest-caliber content and FATE grinding, neither of which most people would consider engaging in any capacity.

The only reason I don't mind events being as short as they have been the past few years is because I have a handful of alts I like to get the event items on. Although I no longer actively play on them like I used to I still get the stuff anyway in case I change my mind later down the line and don't have to pay for it on the Mogstation. Now ideally, I would make it so event items are simply account-wide so altaholic people don't have to worry about running it over and over. I think this is a fantastic idea, my only personal hang up is how tedious it might get with multiple alts, but I wouldn't want that to stop the devs from making events more substantial.

Totally rather have a 5 minute copy paste story quest that nobody will remember a week from now and nothing else

Going to be honest Idc how we get rewards as long as story is good butttttttttttt lets be real writing not improving...all that funding going into NFTs lol
