The Rising - Another disappointing event

[Burmecia]

Edit: Maybe you should quote the whole sentence instead of making it look worse than what the intent was. That's lowkey disingenuous.

I understand your frustration, I think you are 100% entitled to your opinion. There is people already agreeing with you, so you're not alone.
I myself just feel 100% indifferent to anyone's distress over too few event trinkets.
Would you have preferred "The quick brown fox..." instead? I just needed characters as filler for character limit.

I figured it was something like that since I've been using lorem ipsum dummy text in my line of work but that's about it what is recognizable in latin - for me at least.

As long as people aren't rude or abusive towards the developers, there is no shame in being disappointed. It's not entitled. It's quite the opposite, when you're disappointed but have enough faith to leave feedback and keep paying them your money. Players who complain with legitimate feedback but continue to play are what keep games alive. The "positive" crowd who will never highlight legitimate issues and the silent leavers are the ones that kill games.

I haven't really thought of it that way but you're hitting the nail I'd say. Good insight.

Just because I have a Lala character doesn't mean I care that much about the race.

Why do you play one, just to RP? (given your name)

I am not expecting much from this or even next years seasonal events. From what I understand, theyre some of the last things the devs get to with content. And yeah expects covids delays and such to linger fairly long while... not to mention getting EW out is top priority for Devs.

You realize the devs are working their asses off on endwalker due to how much covid pushed them back right?
Be glad we're getting events at all, they could have gave us nothing.

You do realize we had better event rewards during all of covid last year than this year? Sorry, it's not an excuse anymore. Literally, one hour of their time to make a glamour or a new emote is not asking for much.

At least don't shove new Mogstation items up at the same time that you neuter content meant for players to get free glamour, minions, emotes, etc.

I love the devs and appreciate them a lot, but we're customers.

Something I've never understood among gaming communities is the idea that games are some sort of special favor or gift that developers give to us that we must be grateful for. So many other gaming companies put in almost as much work and are hardly looked at because of the larger games. They struggle and die without even being noticed, taking jobs and hopes with them. Being a top game is a privilege you should earn. With any other product in real life, if the quality drops the customer finds something else.

But they already compensate it by pushing EW so much further back (end of November), which means their worktime is more or less the same as previous expansion (probably it's a bit more since EW is supposed to be bigger than ShB, but still). If they only postpone EW for one or two months, then yeah I would say to give them a break since they're rushing to finish it.

I can understand seasonal events got the bare minimum, but I agree with OP that the Rising is special. Not to mention that the quest itself is getting stale too. I hope they bring back 2019 (I think?) Rising where you fight a bunch of enemies inside Ul'dah. That was fun. Last Rising event was pretty meh.

It was 2018, it was a great event that year. Not only the fate but we got cute little Cirina as a minion and the 1.0 earring that was mentioned in this thread already.

And it was the 5th anniversary of the 2.0 release, so of course it was something a little more special. Perhaps you'll have to be patient until the 10th anniversary arrives, eh?

The reward for rising was always really the cutscenes or the mini games. "Cheap Dungeon" is still my favorite mini game.
