Yokai Event

[Gemina]

It's just a digital ghost scooter dude.

You think I did it for the mount?

For me, the mount was the reason. Seeing people squished into that thing, the roe men havimg to hunch over on top of it, floating around Idyllshire, had me burst into real laughter. I had to have it.

But after getting it from collecting a wall of ugly minions, I had no desire to grind out weapons with any of those minions plastered all over them.

In fact, I got the Blizzaria rod thinking it was this lovely snowflake design.... Only to see her cartoonish face set squarely in the center. Ugh.

Unless you really really wanted all those weapons, I don't see why else you would.

Gotta keep a grounded perspective. This is just a fanciful game. Missing out on a few digital items or phony achievements shouldn't eat away at you.

I certainly did. I'll never use those weapons (even for glamour)...

I did it for the achievements and because I like collecting things. Nothing Yokai related will ever see the light of day now that I have it all.

The grounded perspective is how I got through this event.

When the yokai event was announced, and I heard about what it entailed and the duration of the event, I looked at weapons I would never glam, a mount I would never ride, and an achievement I don't care to have checked off my completion log. So why do it at all? That has got to be the steaming question, right?

It's not the destination my friend, it's all about the journey. I did this for the experience, and never griped once about the grind. When I got my very last legendary medal, I actually got kind of sad knowing it was over. I met a lot of nice and fun players during the event, learned the rotations and skills of many combat classes which will go a long way to making me a better player, and while I can't take any of the weapons or flashy mount with me, I do take the experience and memories created during the event. That is why I did it.

I completed it because I saw this event as a challenge from the devs, and one that not every player would accomplish. I simply wanted to be one of the players who did.

Sort of like why Mallory climbed Everest. I think I get where you're coming from.

Why's that a problem? Blizarria is best waifu.

I think you always knew where I was coming from, but also are aware that is a rare perspective to have on things. So it is understandable to respond as you have.

Though I don't think I would have actually ever put my health at risk to complete yokai

Once I heard what would be involved to get the items and the RNG that it would take, I resolved to not even start the quest. I didn't have much interest in Yokai, but this event would have made me needlessly angry, just as every other Atma-like FATE grind has done. Obsessive FATE grinding combined with RNG is this game at its worst, and I did not want to convey to the bean counters that I "enjoyed" the yokai event by completing it.

The next time Level 5 comes out with a game that sounds fun at first, I'll remember this, and their twisted idea of "fun".
