Stop Making Heavensturn An Event

[Novaura]

This is the 3rd year in a row that the Heavensturn special event is all about mochi pounding and endangering your avatars life to get mochi. It doesn't even matter that there is a new animal to ring in the New Year. This is the most monotonous and repetitive event that Final Fantasy XIV offers. Who remembers back in 2014/15 when we got to use sheep to put people to sleep? When I saw it, I thought it was really weird. Now I would do anything to get the chance to do that again, rather than throwing myself into the pit of death for some mochi.

Square Enix, retire this event. There can be no enjoyment in monotony and repetition. Give us something new to celebrate the new year when 2019 comes around... but of course, knowing what I know, you will make us fetch mochi again next year.

I think it might suffer from how near it is to Starlight. They don't have time to design a new kind of quest or put many rewards on it. But they want something to mirror irl holidays/traditions so there it is. Agreed on the lack of enthusiasm, it's my least favorite seasonal event, although I'd still rather have that than nothing.

They can start to work on one of the two events earlier.
Until 2016 there was always a different starlight event and a different Heavensturn event

Even giving out mats to craft the helmet ourself (2010) would be a change again.

hey, it's a good opportunity to farm raises for the Samaritan title, so I don't mind

Not with 4 RDM's spam healing people that get hit.

Try to spawn Outer la Noscea S rank, you'll get that title in 1 hour.

*blink* d-do you think holiday celebrations constantly change their traditions or something? it's a seasonal event. those rarely change significantly between years in the industry.

OP's post

I thought this was a troll post because I read it like this:

"Hi I hate fun. This event sucks lemme just hop on the forums and post about how much this event sucks while adding nothing of value other then saying its boring. Lets ignore all the noobs who've never done it or seen a heavensturn, I'm not having fun so it must be not fun for everyone else."

I mean more power to you man? LOL

...Oh and I disagree, its still fun.

It is disappointing since we used to get a different event every year. I remember doing quests in each city state to promote horses versus chocobos for 2014 and the aforementioned quests helping npcs sleep with the sheep minion for 2015.

Remember when Hauchefont showed up at the end to help with the horse promotion? Good times, good times...
