Starlight Celebration 2024

I like the barding, but we don't even get a hot choco emote from a seemingly hot choco themed event? Also what in the hells am I supposed to do with all these housing items they keep giving us, I sure as hell don't have enough room in my apartment and even if I did I'm not gonna fill my house with random seasonal decorations like a warehouse.

I think they're increasing furniture limits in 7.2 or 7.3, so somewhere around April or August you'd be able to put that crap in a corner or store it

atleast we finally got one of those friggen wall posters. I dunno why its been so long since we have had one of these...

Literally the EASIEST bit of effort they could spend on making those an item. Get template, apply picture they already made

The rewards themselves, there's nothing wrong with them. The issue is that it's the same type of reward. This is my third Starlight-themed barding, yet for All Saints we only ever got one. We got two emotes for All Saints, none for Starlight.

There is comfort in the familiar, in tradition. I like FFXIV's traditions in fact. But relying overly much on them makes things boring and stale. Mix it up a little, give us another spooky barding or mount for All Saints, and an emote like drink eggnog or hot chocolate, or eat a cinnamon roll for Starlight. Or some kind of emote relating to ice or snow, or as suggested in this thread, a sled mount or a framer kit. There must be something the devs can think of.

It's not just a problem of same old same old, it's as OP stated, low effort as well. I've seen less and less effort put into festivals every year. Think of when we could sing in the Starlight choir. Now it's just talking.

This is a symptom of things going wrong with the game in general but that would take me off topic.

i dont really care if there is a mount i most likely never really use anyway. for events i mostly wish for a nice small quest... though thats not always the case.

my problem with housing items as event rewards though, is where should i put that stuff? time limited rewards for which you only have very limited space is such a player unfriendly concept.

I actually don't want anymore 'Christmas' glams. I mean, can only actually wear one at any given time and already have several to choose from.

I do, Christmas doesnt have to be all red and mistletoe, we could get knit hats of a different type, a sweater that doesnt look like a shirt ankwardly scaled up on top of the character, and snow boots. Hell, one of my favorite cosmetics in another game was a Snowboarder suit with a fur lined jacket, there is potential there

But no, have a housing item, please look foward to it

Actually it's three housing items. Four if you count the orchestrion roll.

You say this as if event bardings are a common occurrence. The last event barding was two (hell, almost three) years ago, and we've never had more than just a single event barding per expac after ARR.

Good riddance, if they refuse to update the companion system we shouldnt get ANY more bardings, including Ex ones.

You can say the same thing about way too many things in this game. If they refuse to update the glamour system and plates beyond bandaid fixes, then I guess we should stop getting glamour as well.

So apparently we're only getting a barding, some housing items and an orchestrion roll. These feel so low effort.

If you feel that these gifts are low effort. Have you made posts suggesting specific items prior to an event? Or seen anyone on the forums making a request list? It's better to be proactive than reactive.

I've already listed what I'd like to see in this thread.
