Disappointed in Youkai Watch

[RiceisNice]

I cant't believe there is really a forum for this. Many games do this and the most popular one is Maplestory and Mabinogi. Mabinogi did something with SAO and Maplestory did something with AoT. A Korean game known as Elsword Online collabs with famous KPOP idols and groups and it still manages to keep the game fun and exciting. I don't understand why a simple event with Yokai Watch makes you so salty? Events like this bring in revenue for the game the other party so it is a win-win.

For the record, I've played Elsword, and the game is in a very sorry state at the moment with the over emphasis on sell-outs and advertising. The most notorious was the character announcement for Rose, and the only (reasonable) reactions from the people whoere in that live event were utter silence. It doesn't become fun or exciting when they keep adding fluff events rather than addressing game issues in regards to balance (especially when they heavily promote the PvP scene).

Having these sort of things is fine in moderation, but it shouldn't get to the point that it influences the direction of the game. They even had the original trio's transform job stances be modeled after K-pop idols, and the result was that they all had more-or-less the same poses that feels awkward on some of them, and misleading to their character growth.

i havent played NA elsword in a long time and i dont plan on going back anytime soon. kr elsword has to come up with event/dungeons and more gameplay now since they basically ended the whole story of the game not too long ago. i believe that na elsword is dying slowly but they keep rushing things so people would stay stuck to the game and play more.

The state of KR isn't any much better to be honest (excluding RMT and economic issues). Those events continue to pump enhancement items that further exasperate the power-creep nature of equipment; everyone ends up blazing through dungeons effortlessly with mounts and +8 (or higher) from events, unless the entire party is using +6s (and that's assuming they aren't using some of the OP'd characters). The PvP scene is also a joke with the lack of balancing, the aforementioned enhancements, and the stubborn need to keep introducing new characters and hold PvP tournaments (Which factors said enhanced equipment, so the actual matches itself becomes a joke).

Back on topic though; It's not the case in FFXIV in regards to the power creep, but it is losing the sense of the "FFXIV identity" that I played for back in 2.0. It's become less of that and more of a fantasy kitchen sink with all the wacky additions and direction of content. I'd be fine with silly things like Hildibrand because that's the exception, and it's a nice redirect from the usual fare. I'm not fine with things like that being the usual fare, because it feels like it even takes away from Hildibrand content if it's no longer the exception.

Couldn't find any "muh immersions" joke in this thread. Huh.

On a serious note;

I'm excited for this event, my daughter loves Yokai Watch and she's been excited to see me catch them in game. Some players do have kids and share their gaming experience with them.

Get over it OP.

They should keep events up forever once released or at least make them annual.

Not really, should be a sign of dedication but lets not start the whole war on events and exclusive.
