Starlight Celebration

[Sakuraluna]

I wonder what people are complaining about with the housing. You are not in an FC? Why not? You can buy a private room for 300k, why are you playing a MMO and not socialising?

Housing has been sold out on pretty much all servers for a while now. It is shared between single players and fc's, and the fcs have to be at a certain rank to be eligible for housing to begin with. There are far more existing FCs in this game than there are houses even without single player housing, so unfortunately being in an FC does not equal having access to housing.

Not all FCs have a house. I am in a FC that does not have a house and I do not have my own house.

[Theodric]

Yep.. furniture most people will never get to use and silly generic costumes, looks like i'm skipping this event.

There's no need to skip it. You still get an achievement and the seasonal gear can be resold - in time - for a profit on the marketboard. With that said, however, the seasonal event rewards don't interest me much either. I'm not inclined to dress my character up as Santa and I lack a house due to how inaccessible they are.

I did feel that the quest was a little underwhelming, but I am happy to get a Christmas Tree for my FC house. ^_^

Just another seasonal quest (not actually an "event" mmo style) ppl can do in a few minutes. SE lack of creativity amaze me lately. SE need to hire fresh devs fast!

Recycling formula for relic
Recycling formula every patch
Recycling formula every "event"
Recycling mechanics for bosses and primals
Recycling PVP "progression"

Is just sad now

[Itseotle]

Yep. Once again, more neat furniture for everyone who doesn't have a house to display them.

This. got 90mil saved up to buy a house. All I want is a small house. Why can't I buy a house? =C

I've only been playing about five months now, and I have to say some of the festivals are kind of a middle finger from SE to newer players. We're unable to get items in the game that older players could get in the past. Like cosmetics and minions. And for the Starlight Festival, we can't even get the crafting ingredient items anymore. I'm not even sure why they still have the recipes in the crafting log if we can't get the items to make them. Unless I am missing something. And please don't say "You can get the outfits on the marketboard." I know you can, but they are priced WAY too high. Or at least more than I am willing to pay for a cosmetic item. And the previous housing items are even worse. I don't see why SE had to take the items out of the game and force new players to get them in the store. I get they need to make money, but can't they do it without ruining festivals?

Concerns

Though you cannot get the minion unless you purchase it from the mogstation and you cannot get the furnishings unless you pay a premium on the Auction House...

Older players can purchase some of the older gear and sell/give it to you, too. A lot of servers have people that buy the items and give them out or sell very cheaply on the AH.

The event hasn't been going on long- give those people who like to help out the community a chance to get and give them away or list them. (Or find an older player and ask them to buy for you for cheap)



Side note: SE said they weren't going to do the bells back in 1.0 after every event was ONLY bells. Soon as I saw them in the event graphics... Yeeeeeah. Foreshadowing there.

If I may ask, how are older players able to get the older gear? I'm just curious. There's so much about the finer details of this game I don't know yet.
