How could we get SE to repeat previous events regularly? Ie.: All Saints Wake

[EUSerena]

The title pretty much says it all.

When I started out, I did not realize that I am enjoying a "peak FFXIV" while I was playing the game. Events were coming out left and right, and they all had quite a few items that you could earn. It was awesome.

I thought these events will repeat each year. Some special ones maybe repeat every two years, but you get the idea. Well, turns out, I was wrong. Oh, I was so wrong. As time passed, events contained fewer and fewer items. Now? We don't even get events anymore.

I know. I know. COVID and whatnot. That excuse is only valid if we are talking about the dev team adding new items. But I don't really look for new items. I just want the events, like All Saints' Wake back. If they have the same time and wish to appreciate the players paying for their sub, spending money on the Mog Station? Sure, add some more items to the events. But please, don't take out items, don't just give some items, or abandon the entire thing. I don't even care if they'd miss a new area like Ishgard or something. Just put in the old, years old content, please.

At the end of the day, I fear SE might have gone the Activision route. Mog Station makes money. A lot of money. And they just want every cent now. The FFXIV we bought, we loved, and played for endless hours for years - is forever gone. I am not sure if we have the power to nudge SE, the FFXIV team but I still make this post as an attempt.

Ps.: Before I get called a hater, I've been p(l)aying for many many years, I've pre-ordered Endwalker, etc. I still enjoy the core game very much so. I just don't enjoy the direction the FFXIV team is taking, that's all.

We are still having All Saints Wake. This year it will be in Nov. after the release of EW. They are busy finishing up the Expansion, making sure it is ready to go and they wanted to get the moogle tome event out for the lead up to EW. Granted I dont see why they couldn't do both, but it is what they chose to do.

The Halloween event is coming after Endwalker releases sometime in November till December, then the Christmas event happens. Once the expansion comes out it'll be business as usual.

Awkward...

Man, a lot of these 'what ifs' about the end of the world and general assumptions.

Covid happened. Everyone, companies included, suffered. A lot of things got screwed cause of it.

Are they trying to go back to a more normal schedule with this stuff? Yes

Are payers like you not happy with it? Apparently.

Don't know why so many people go the entitled route instead of understanding what goes on.

No one was happy about everything coming to a near halt during Covid. But what can you really do when a pandemic hits and the world is either unprepared, or you have people going 'HURR HURR ITS NOT REAL/WONT HAPPEN TO ME' or antivaxxers making it worse.

Are you part of a HUGE Company and sees what happens when the literal shite hits the fan and everything halts?

COVID and whatnot. That excuse is only valid if we are talking about the dev team adding new items..

Literally, who are you to say what's valid or not?

Well, last year people complained because it got skipped due to covid, and this year we have an expansion they are working to finish (and still covid), so rather than cancel it again (cuz people complained) they just... pushed it back...

Maybe next time they shouldn't bother.

Honestly? That would literally make more sense. They missed one year, what is one more? Makes more sense then having it at the wrong time, especially right after an expansion launch, which is itself 2 weeks before a new raid. Seems so odd.

Its an event that takes at most 20 minutes to complete, its not going to inconvenience anyone doing expansion things.

Halloween is an American tradition based on a Christian celebration event. Japan doesn't have Halloween really, or rather, it's completely irrelevant and just "fun for kids" and "party in Ikebukuro and Shibuya". Kind of like Christmas has nothing to do with Christ or family here, it's a chance to go on a date. There's no Easter here at all. What we have here in November is Culture Day and Labour Day, both of which are days off for most people, but not a big deal like, say, New Year's.
