Feedback on the Easter Event (Hatching Tide)

[TomTom1968]

I thought the tagging up idea was nice because I like co-operative quest mechanics. And you could find partners of any kind, even if they did the quest already. What I did not like too much was that all parts of the quests were the same. Bring an egg from A to B and don't let Spriggans steal your eggs. Doing it once was okay and also fun, doing the same again three times more was quite unimaginative.

Since I am more the "text deserts click away" type of player, I did not realize there were random spriggans in the World you could farm, not to speak of special FATES. I guess it was mentioned in the quest so I can only blame myself for skipping through it lol. I saw one of them at random and then found threads about locations and whatnot. Dunno if I missed something besides the Spriggan cap but maybe it comes back at some stage so I can join the egg thief Spriggan hunt. :xd

Good seasonal event was good.

PS4 broke before the event started, managed to get on at work on the final day, found someone at 4am (EDT) on a US server. Used 1 FC member who needed the final quest, and 1 other FC member who hadn't even started it, just to be in a party with us for the duration.

Shame about not getting a chance to enjoy the extra FATE benefits, but oh well. For the 'main' section, I thought this was one of the better events.

+1 SE.

Even though it was still simple, it's MUCH better than the last events (talk to npc, 1 fate, done)

Yeah, I don't need to use it, but just going to say, the barding is kinda fugly lol The icon for it looked like a body piece barding, but ended up being a cap that looks like they shaved a few chocofeathers off :/

It's a Chocobo Egg Cap for your Chocobo.

I don't know what you all have against FATE events. I can't wait until the next summer event ^^
I only hope it would be this time more like during 1.0, killing the bombs with emotes instead with weapons. And the old event music that drive you nuts after a short time. I missed it last year ^^

It's the fact that SE shoves fates down our throats for everything >.> Events, Atma, CT, Hildibrand etc

And they don't really feel like events then if all you do is a single fate and pretty much have everything from said event. It doesn't need to be anything world saving since it's an event, it'd just be nice if it was more than "Hey, go do this fate" and that's it

I know it's a cap, but if you look at the icon, it could be something for the body, like the top part looks like an egg that'd rest on the back like the presents do on that one.

In short the FATEs should be inside of story quests. I'm ok with it.
Something like speaking with a NPC, then the NPC show you the location of a FATE and give you a special item that you need to wear to get the wanted drop from the FATE (to make sure that you speak first with the NPC for the story).
Or a NPC at the location of the FATE you need to speak first before you can join the FATE (see garlean invasion events 2012). Should work similar like the level-sync requirement.
Or a FATE that start at a specific time in a specific zone and then jump to another zone the moment it got finished in the current zone (see Atomos event 2012)

Keeping with Final Fantasy MMO tradition, the hardest part was getting together a group to do it (specifically, the last step).

I never actually saw a Coddled Spriggan during my ~90 minute collective time actively searching for one. Nor did I ever see one of those special Spriggan FATEs on my map, in a few areas. These were probably the worst parts of the event; next year, have more Coddled Spriggans spawn, more frequently, with less of a respawn timer. Until then, my 3 silver eggs will be sitting on retainer, waiting to be merged into a shiny golden egg.

[Limecat]

I think it would have been better if they treated the Coddled Spriggans like leve chests, where they randomly spawn for just that specific player, but you don't always manage to notice them before they're gone. Heck, they could even have sometimes replaced leve chests for the duration of the event.

I disliked the whole event. I think it was a waste of time. Please, do not include seasonal events where I have to party to progress. I rank this as the worst event so far. This is worst than the summer event.

[Mrfox0707]

I liked all of the event. One of the best ones yet. My fav part was hunting down those spriggens. Once you knew there spawn points it was easy to run a check for them. It really brought back the idea of NM out in the wild. I wanted to get more of em than I did but I was able to get one gold egg. I got about 70k selling the items that were in the egg.
