Easter event

[HexWeaver]

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere but I feel I have to point this out;

Who chooses these rewards?
Yeah.. because nothing says Happy Easter! like 4 pairs of earrings.. Yeah, I kinda like the lamp. But I'm lucky enough to own a house which the same cant be said for the other 97% or so of the remaining playerbase so what are they going to do with it?


Square Enix, you're definitely not putting any effort into these events and it shows.

Easter has always been pretty bad though. Last year was rings, before that atrocious helmets. I WILL tolerate lazy holidays this year, since 3.0 production is probably in full swing. More outfits for Heavensward, although I miss cool things like the ghost and valentine costumes.

I AM curious about those lucky eggs, though. It will probably be like the wish bags from ladies day and christmas, but the flavor text about "remain lucky as long as they are uncracked" has me hoping that they might turn into pets or mounts if we don't use them right away. I think I'll keep a few in my retainer for a year, and see if anything happens with them.

Surprised there aren't any outdoor furniture this time

[Mugiawara]

I no longer care about any events because I am sick and tired of furnishings.
Give what the people want...CLOTHES DAMMIT.
Little Ladies: I was surprised we didn't get something like Edvya outfit...
Way to drop the ball on that one.

You guys do know that most of their resources are placed into 3.0 right? Stop complaining, seriously. Absolutely no need of it.

Bad excuse.
They got 3 months and had many months to polish and do whatever to 3.0...No
reason to have half-ass events when they probably have an event team to do it.

I still have holiday clothes I can't put in my Armoire, so NO MORE CLOTHES DAMMIT.

Then what do you suggest? I would also like weapons too decorated for the events.
Not tiny earrings no one can see.

I dunno. I'd be perfectly ok with clothes, tbh, but SE doesn't seem to know how to flag them as storable in the armoire immediately (and in some cases, ever).

Yeah, I'm a little baffled that there isn't a candy cane for white mage yet. Dragoons can use an entire Christmas tree to impale their foes, Mages get to shoot fire out of frosty the snowman, and our upcoming astrologists can write up some last minute christmas cards. And why on earth do Bards not have a heart themed bow to accompany the "Cupid" title?

Just noticed you said this, but I gotta say, the events themselves have had decent scenarios for the most part, and that is all the event team's doing.

The clothing rewards (or lack thereof) is lame, but a totally different group of people with totally different programing skills are in charge of that. And those guys are probably working full time on 3.0. Think of how many different outfits they've got to render.

We COULD be getting the furniture stuff now, because a lot of it was already in the game, or required only slight modifications for our homes. Cherry trees, umbrellas, glowing eggs on sticks... that stuff is simple to make and you don't need to bother with physics or size scaling.

Now, I've heard other mmos say the same thing about "working on the expansion", and the situation never improved. So if it is still like this next year, I'll get my pitchfork out and stand next to you, but for now I've got fingers crossed.
