The Rising - Another disappointing event

[Vahlnir]

I'm normally not one to complain too much about seasonal events but...



A parasol? Seriously? For the Rising of all things?

I agree and disagree with what I feel is right for both depending on the topic. It's nothing personal. I try my best to give credit where it's due even if I find myself butting heads with someone more often than not.

So I can't be the only one that was looking forward to seeing some cool glam or something from Rising event next week.

So we're getting a re-colored umbrella and nothing else worth mentioned.

I don't want to sound entitled but these seasonal event has really gone down in quality since like 2018 imo.

Thoughts?




Yeah I agree. This is the first event that I go, meh not even going to do it.
The summer event was disappointing but at least I could get a mount (that we see on mogstation in a year or two). Here it's an item i will never use.




The Rising is meant to be the anniversary event of ARR. So It should be a great deal for us who been around since ARR or before that.
Just cause you trash all the rewards from previous year doesn't mean we all do. With your mentality I guess we can cut out all seasonal events cause it just trash rewards, yes?

But I agree that Rising been rather disappointed many years. It was a nice nostalgia with the earring few years ago though for us who played 1.0 and the fate instance was pretty cool nostalgia.

How can you judge the quality of the event if it isn't out and you couldn't even play it yet? Not liking the rewards from an event is one thing, but saying the event or the quality is bad just because you don't like the rewards is inappropriate in my opinion. If one doesn't like the Titania mount for example then the fight is bad or of low quality? Why is always the whole event bad when you just don't like the rewards?

I don't know why people say they want events here and there when the only thing they want is just in their eyes good enough rewards and the event itself completely doesn't matter.

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?

Fair point. I think though it's safe to say many, myself included would rate a event based on the rewards when it comes to the seasonal ones.

Haha, I take it dude.

I don't use the umbrellas often but I do like its design. I'm really looking forward to the message we'll get even if the event itself is short.

Roasted.
Ace does have a point though. The First Rising event I did, I was really just skeptical over it since it's just a minion for the event (note this was Ardbert's minion when I didn't do ShB yet and I had a skewed perception of rewards at the time with the previous event rewards). I did enjoy The Rising event overall though after playing through it. Got to socialize with the people in the first event, enjoyed the cutscenes, played a couple of songs, and had a good time overall. The Rising Events are usually always good, even if the rewards don't reflect well. I say to not worry about the result (the reward), but just the journey itself for this event in particular.

Though I'm more inclined to think The Rising event for this year will be more rushed since this year's event was supposed to be released after Endwalker. For all we know, Endwalker added more memorable characters and The Rising would feature a minion for that expansion, but due to covid and development delays, the actual expansion was pushed after The Rising's event launch. The rewards (and maybe even the content of this year's Rising event) was changed as a result. This is fairly likely since storylines & events are planned months in advance before the dev team gets assets to go into development. Covid threw a huge wrench in those plans in both development time and assets so it makes sense they would have to swap things out for this year's event as Endwalker is not out yet.

Context would be nice.

I always miss the Rising event, so this is my first one I'm actually present for- which means I get to access the items from past Risings.

Was this event more spectacular in the past?

Again, some context would be nice.

To be fair events lately have been absolutely horrible, so i don’t blame people for assuming. That said i think it’s a bit weird to think people wouldn’t care a lot about the rewards. They’re the main pull for many people to do the events and it’s something many look forward to. The rising rewards are typically highly sought after as they’re minions of very popular npcs. The fact we can’t even get a minion and they’re just giving us a parasol with a consumable item like the other hundreds we have just leaves a poor taste in my mouth….
