Little Ladies Day Event

Or maybe everyone's gotten bored with all the maps and have nothing else to obtain, nowhere else to put anything... I worry this event will never have a conclusion...

Then there's also the possibility that people (like myself) won't even bother doing this quest at all due to the rewards. Heck, people that aren't even doing maps will still benefit from the labor of other players in their servers

The problem with this event is... A lot of players don't give a crap about houses because they are so ridiculously expensive that there isn't really much hope they will be able to afford one anytime soon. 10 million for a house on my world. 10 million. Freaking ridiculous.

Yeah, Excal's still on 6th too.

Or there is the fact that there are NO houses left on certain servers.. Like Balmung; Every ward in every district is completely bought up. No Smalls, No Mediums, No Larges. All bought and gone.

Either this Event is on a timer or it is possibly one of the more poorly thought out ones to be put out. I mean most of it can not be enjoyed unless you're lvl 40 and even though you are lvl 40+ most of the rewards only apply to 1440 people/fc leaders on the server (number of plots). Once those people have the amount of trees/blankets they want, there's really no point in continuing the map grind.

So unless they plan on adding rewards that apply to the other 4000-6000 people on the server, I think they may have to consider unlocking the quests on their end or reducing the amount of completed maps needed per doll.

I like the server-wide cooperative aspect of it, assuming that is in fact what it is and it's not simply based on time passing. So far we've got 2 rows of dolls and the first doll on the third row, which seems to be where everyone is at the moment.

Another thing I liked was how it uses the treasure map system; I hadn't done this much before, but it's fun to decipher the map locations even though it is a bit grindy doing the same map repeatedly. But I like the idea of getting people who might not otherwise have tried treasure maps to try them out. It's like the Ixal quests, which got me to open up all three gathering classes and to level a new craft up to 50 almost by accident (unfortunately it was ALC hahaha.)

It's true that the rewards are better for some people than for others; I was excited to be able to get some outdoor goodies for our (small) house - the tree is particularly nice.

I would consider getting the trees even if you don't have a house - you can either save them for when you have a house, or trade them to other players; people are offering to buy them already and the prices will probably go up after the event is over (although presumably they will be available at some point either from the calamity salvager or the square enix real money store? :-/ )

I tried soloing the fights at lv33 and wasn't successful, heheheh. However a party would probably be able to do it.

In conclusion, I think it's an interesting and fun event. I don't know what's going to happen when we fill up our doll stage, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

I would say, this is the weakest event so far as far as rewards go. I have no house or interest in getting one and the necklace blows. I only did 2 maps and quit after that. There is nothing of interest in this event. This is my opinion of course. Maybe others are enjoying it.

7th doll poped at roll over. So everyone is probably right we are time locked.

I like the server-wide cooperative aspect of it, ...etc.

I really like the structure of the event too, but there's several issues i'm seeing with it.

One, it would have made a great Christmas or summer event where everyone felt included and there were plenty of items to earn. Using it for Little Ladies only alienates non- female characters.

Second, it could have had a longer list of prizes that were more relevant to everybody, along with a sort of grand prize, but as it is, there's just 3 with the top prize being the necklace and the smaller prizes that are supposed to motivate us to complete the quest are all outdoor furnishings which even further alienates players who don't have personal housing. If they had given us indoor items as well, and maybe an outfit or a couple more accessories then it could have kept most players going while longer. As it is, people are losing interest very quickly because the event doesn't relate to them.

[Sakuraluna]

It's creating a situation where the server is basically dependent on the whims of a select few, and those of us who actually want the necklace have to hope that there is some sort of timer to automatically place dolls when everyone else starts falling behind in farming maps.

(Also SE, PLEASE!!! Do something about this ridiculous word limit, it makes no sense at all when you're on a phone where you can't edit your posts.)
