Valentines day event fail

[Sicno]

Welp... not since Diadem 2.0 have I been this disappointed. Blablabla. (Edit: seems results were by world after all). I don't understand why this needed to be a voting contest among all players for something that can be perfectly instanced like a quest.

And like Liale said there's also some bias in how the npcs and options were presented. Not only about the racial features, but also about Astrid being a familiar npc we've helped before, and a child at that. Even Lisette was greatly displeased if you choose anyone but Astrid. They really couldn't have shoehorned Astrid any harder than that.

It also didn't help that they didn't make it obvious in-game that you could dye the gear of the color you wanted. The event site stated it, and even told you what colors to use, but not that many people actually visited that site, and the quests rewarded you a coffer, without seeing the individual pieces and being able to notice you can dye them. They also had npcs of both genders showcasing each color with the npc of the corresponding option. Probably there was a lot of people who voted Astrid just because they wanted the red gear.
