Series Rewards

[LibitIncarne]

Series 1 of the new Malmstone system ended at the start of 6.2, which was in August 2022.
We're currently in Series 7, and there is still no indication as to whether anyone will be able to get rewards from previous Series.

This would be understandable if seasonal events were one-time events that you arne't able to get the rewards for if you missed them, but as soon as the Starlight Celebration starts this year, everyone will be able to buy the Unorthodox Saint's Attire on the Mogstation.

The rewards aren't like the old Feast Ranked Rewards. They're glorified participation trophies, and several players have got to endgame and are missing out on emotes, minions, mounts, or outfits (All four of which you can get on the Mogstation if they're from previous Seasonal Events) that they really want but can't get because they came in years too late.

Frankly Im ok if series reward dont return. I mean you have 3-4 months to play pvp even if you only do it daily u will get the reward. If a person does not get it. Thats your fault not squares failt so Naw they should stay exclusive. Either frind pvp or pkay it once a day.

Again, 2022 rewards would never have been possible for someone who started in 2024 to obtain. Meanwhile, they can buy 2023 event items on the mogstation.

I'm okay with some things being unavailable.
A player doesn't need access to every trinket ever. I certainly don't have everything. I never will. That's okay!

While this is definitely a valid opinion to have on rewards that were only obtainable for a limited time, it doesn't really apply to PvP Series rewards. The promise has already been made for previous Series rewards to "eventually" be made available for purchase via token exchange, as can be seen on one of the slides of the 67th Live Letter.

This is fine for say, Irregular Tomestone rewards earrings and such.
Not for emotes that are constantly used in the MSQ's cutscenes like /determined, /spirit, /linkpearl, or /handtoheart.
Or for minions that should have been obtainable through crafting instead of being delayed for over an expansion to be added to battle passes. (Rubellite, Tourmaline, and Adamant Weapons, being that they look like the Weapons from EX trials and it was standard in ARR, HW, and SB for the minion to be crafted)
Do I think that people should have access to the Framer's Kits from these? No, even if I do personally want the Umbra Framer's Kit.

...Nikke, Genshin, Street Fighter, Tekken, Overwatch, CoD, Diablo (IV?), Brawlhalla, Multiverse, PSO2 and Fortnite are all games that heavily depended on the battlepass for player retention, with PSO2 from my personal knowledge containing nearly no items that DIDN'T come out and be available later when I played back then.

Fortnite & Overwatch literally are monetized around the battlepass + shop model and I'm gonna assume so are many of the games you listed. Nikke and Genshin are Gacha games, they literally are just fancily disguised Lootbox + Battlepass games with pretty waifus paired with an acceptable story.

Final Fantasy XIV if anything is closer to PSO2 on this, in which it doesn't make sense to rerelease the tier 25 rewards after over two years have passed. PSO2's gold battlepass was also fairly easily available with Stargems and didn't exactly require money.

I also recall there being a slide being posted on the forums everytime this topic is brought up that says that tokens (Trophy Crystals) will eventually be usable to purchase items of past Series., so if someone could post that here I'd appreciate it.

Some of us hope this also means Feast rewards, because they returned rewards from the early Feast seasons but haven't gone past that. Hopefully we get lots of the previous rewards available to people still doing PvP today!
