could be, no idea honestly.

I just have to drop in and say that for some future feedback this wasn't a very good way to handle limited items. I'm all for having to spend time camping a rare item or having items that are only available for a limited time but the combination of these two didn't work out too well.

I personally spent close to 40 hours in this event without either hat because the turn-around of people getting their hats then new people coming in and needing hats in these groups was high so coupled with the fact that the drop is rare to begin with there is the high probability of a lot of people being in the same situation as I am and will require a lot more time than others to get the items.

I wouldn't have had as much of an issue with this turn of events but it's rather annoying to know that I'm very likely going to miss out on a couple of limited items even though I put a fair share of time participating in it. So my suggestion for the future is never to make rare drop items a limited time event again. You either need to make a limited event where a certain amount of participation in the event guarantees the reward or you don't make the item a limited time ordeal and provide other avenues to obtaining the item after the event is over.

I just played it safe and assumed that it would end shortly after it started and spammed the hell out of it until I got both hats.

That..and the event lasted enough for most if not every active player to get their hats..especially when it was up all day everyday for weeks.

Unless you have shitty schedule lol - but yeah.. if you have "no idea" when it is going to end the best bet is to play it safe.

If it counts as a limited event though SE should always give end dates.

There were 5 times that I tried - but no one was doing that content. I could have probably broken sleep schedule, but when I went to have a go at it either my friends were too OP and did it the first few days or too UP and couldn't do it now.

I did two 2 hour runs as well but I didnt get the loot lol.

To the point of being annoying if people tried to do leves or DoH..this is why people shouldn't have waited till last minute for that "list of unobtainable stuff" as well, since then people will somehow blame SE. I can understand wanting the confirmation of time and so on..but when you have the time (had a few months and now only a few days left) people shoulda been hauling ass.

But I guess that does mean people need a push to get to doing something even if you have a treasure trove sitting in front of you for the taking 24/7 for the next 7 weeks. Drop rates were kinda shitty but no matter the scheduling unless it took you to the point you had only 10 minutes a day or something there was a chance in the last few weeks to get. At least no one can complain about missing out on the dalmatica.

If you have BLM leveled you can slowly leash solo them. My brother and his gf duo'd entire groups this way lol.

Yep, you didn't need a group for this, you just needed to be dedicated to getting the drop right from the get go. Limited content with no end date mentioned to me says "hurry the hell up or you'll miss it."
