SE thanks for making this event not gender locked

Yes! I knew this topic would pop up XD! Ooooh, my brother owes me 5$ now.

Dang, you missed out....Should have bet him $50 XD

I did find it odd that the 'male' flower crown is better (IE more dyable options) then the female one...

Am I missing something here?
This Flower Crown was last Years Reward, and it wasn't genderlocked.

The issue that people are referring to is that it looks different on male and female characters despite not needing to. Well, I guess nothing really needs to, but nonetheless, most gear items for the chest, hands, legs, and feet tend to look different as I'm sure you're familiar with. But helmets and hats are usually identical, save a few crossover/collab items and likely a couple outliers. But for whatever reason, these flower crowns that had no reason to be different were different. There was no issue relating to the shape or models they were being placed on, but they made them different and even the dye channels were changed. People were annoyed.

They should follow this example for future events. Less restrictions = more variety and glamour potential.

Honestly I feel like gender locking is just less content. It's up to the devs but more content is good and nothing I'm against unless it's hurt the players.

More options is a win to me. My Hrothgar needs all the headpieces it can get.

This event in did a lot of things I like, actually.

• We get to buy the furniture up-front, no currency farming
• A nice quest with some story and familiar faces
• The repeatable quest is based on other content we've completed, and unlike previous events being able to experience this additional dialog isn't left to RNG, we can choose specifically who we want to visit. I love this.
• Two different glam looks, both usable by all races and genders, can be dyed, and correctly flagged for armoire

While the actual holiday itself isn't a personal favorite and doesn't have a fun instanced thing to do like haunted house or hedge maze, I'm a big fan of how the reward acquisition and bonus dialog are set up this time.

So yes a big Thank You, SE from me.

I too am happy to have both options, especially since I’m not a monocle person and have a love affair with peaches and their blooms. I need to put together an outfit using the peach blooms because I love it.

It's good that both genders can wear both itemes, but the fact that the flowers are different between genders is a complete waste of dev time.

It's just as stupid as last years flower crown and I don't understand why they are doing it. As if "three flowers with narrow petals" is more male or female than "five flowers with wider petals". The difference is just dumb as hell and baits complaints from people who prefer the other style.
