Moonfire Faire

[Krotoan]

I'm sitting back on the beach in my new "swimwear" combo enjoying the fireworks and making Battered fish for people who need it. I've also got a cool poster I put up in my house and shaved ice in my storage saved for a sunny day. Enjoying the event for what it's worth... See ya all on the coast!

In case you did not know, A LOT of smaller fish stay around coral reefs and never try to swim outside of the reef zone because of bigger predatory fish. That is why bigger fish swim in open water. The tiny fish find shelter in the coral reefs with all of the nooks and crannies there so they can hide at night because of the bigger fish (some shark species go raiding coral reefs at night, so fish need to stay safe).

Well this is still a game and thus people would like to look at something beautiful and after they showed the ruby sea in the benchmark I am too a bit disappointed to see it so lacking of life. You will see some fishes but there was so much going on in the benchmark and things like the big crab and stuff like that would have felt better. I mean I do kinda wonder how the fishermen survive with such a low amount of fishes.

Also my problem with the set: First its only one (and not even the complete) set thus people still need to farm the others and I am not even sure if we now will get the other ones later. Also if you miss this event and want a dyeable dungeon gear version you will have to buy it with real money..so they put something behind an event thus also behind the mog station that is already in the game as dungeon gear. I dont think that this is a nice practice. Also the sock make it look ridiculous as swim wear. Then lets not forget that we have one completely unique asian gear in the cash shop which would have been an perfect price for this event..so they sell us the unique for real money (in an expansion that is about an asian-like region..) and only give us one incomplete dyeable set of a already existing one. And please just because you are fine with it (which is alright) does not mean that everyone has to be like that. I just cant see these events in the same eyes again after going through some in F2P MMOs..I am not saying that the tasks itself are no fun but you barely have anything to grind for in the event, thus it was over in under half an hour for me.

Yes, both of these right here are very unsettling and the crux of why I don't like their decision with this year's Moonfire Faire reward.

I suspect we may soon find dyeable versions of dungeon gear cropping up in more events so they can add it to the Mogstation...

The event reward is a modified version of the Shisui sets. The top is (thankfully) quite different, and only one of the bottom parts was used.

This means that the original Shisui set, or some parts of it, might come as dyeable in the future. Just wait for two years until the next expansion before complaining. In the meanwhile, I sure will be enjoying the event rewards.

What are you talking about lol.... Its literally the same thing just dyeable. Unless you count the invisible necklace as being modified?

[Ssmiley_Bjakkzz]

Moonfire faire 2014 such good memories how good event really were.
Afterwards, now and later events been nothing , just lesser and boring.
I dont mind if events are gone if they cant take back how good it once were because now its just disapointing every times.

Saw Ultros joining in on the peepery. Event worth it just for that.

Edit: Just discovered he's also a boss FATE. Even better. Kinda curious what some new-ish players' reactions are to that, if they haven't gone through the Hildebrand line.

Necklace part and huge sleeves are gone, making it look better with bikini pieces (and in my opinion, just better in general, hahaha). I for one never wanted to touch the Shisui top with a stick, yet I love the event version, so I'm happy this reward exists instead of just having the dg gear dyeable.

[Kahnom]

The striking set has neck's cloth/band as part of the gear so that makes necklace accessory invisible.
The event one doesn't have the neck part but still can't see the necklace accessory...

The striking piece never had sleeves.... I'm telling you it's the same piece xD. Thats why you cant wear a necklace. Unless you're purposely just not reading.

To quote someone:

It's literally this without the choker, that is far from unique.

All they did was give you less by cutting out the headpiece, gloves, and shoes.
