Forgive me if it's too soon to post feedback for Fireside, but Thanksgiving may limit how much I am on after today...
I personally am a bit disappointed with Fireside this year. On the bright side, the site seems to be running great for an event period. Sadly, I am finding the event festivities rather boring, there is nothing motivating me to spend hours on Subeta, which is typically how I feel during an event.
For a veteran player like me, the lack of new achievements is a major factor in my current boredom on Subeta. While I can appreciate that some players (and staff) find the achievements where we do the same task over and over and over lame, I personally would rather have a lame achievement to work toward than nothing at all...
And the artwork for the new items for Fireside are lovely... However not a single new book, sticker or minion was released via the event (not counting the minion released via the newsletter). But we got close to 40 new plushies and over 30 new wearables. but what is up with the lack of love for books, stickers and minions? Even with limited resources, surely someone should be capable of managing the Creative Department to ensure that a single minion, sticker and/or book is created.
I agree, I also feel bored at Fireside, I expected some new features, something else to do, I'm tired of burning items tbh.. and also, after I get all the new items (mostly after 2 days) I'm not participating in the event anymore because I have no need..
Yeah, where are the new achievements, books, minions, and stickers?
I've always hated getting the stupid blessings but it would make it slightly better if there were more tiers for the "Kissed" achievement of Fireside
I never liked Fireside. And I'm a plushie collector, but some more variety would be nice. I'm still working on the burning/being burned achievements though and I have to say it really sucks that the times the Rreign goes after your items don't count.
this is my first time joining fireside. it was exciting at first. the dragon plushies are really cool! it got me started collecting dragon stuff :)
but it get very boring afterwards. burning item one by one feels like a punishment.
agree with for "Kissed" achievement. it happens way too much yet the achievement only requires 1.
i was trying to get Burned achievement too before, but looking at my records, only burnt 9 times so far is quite demoralizing. i feel like the freaking Rreign more like to burn item that burning me. somehow that upset me.
so i just give up and sold everything extra i have :(
Fireside always seems to bore me. :/ I've hardly participated this year, and I probably won't start participating any more than that. It's always an event I more or less try to skip through. I mean I know it's not as big and active as Morostide and Luminaire, which I know it is mushed between, but if wanting to give users some down-time between major events is the reason Fireside is so slow and boring, why have it at all?
I wish, at the very least, we could have more of those mini-plots - not something like we had during Morostide this year, but something like what happened during the last Reading Drive, where we went around and collected pages for Alexander. Just some simple little scavenger-hunt thing. That'd go a long way toward encouraging me to participate in this event.
Books would help as well, since those (and wearables) are generally the only things I work to get.
(I know Fireside hasn't ended yet, but the feedback thread is here, so I'm using it. Plus a few more days of this event as it has been going won't change my opinion any.)
Just posting to say that I understand Fireside being a smaller event, coming just after Morostide's plot, but some books or stickers would have helped keep me more interested in burning items (and I'd certainly not pass on some cute minions too)!
I don't mind new achievements much / haven't been working towards the Burned one yet, but it could be a nice idea to get a few more tiers on achievements that currently only have one (for doing that thing once). Item Destroyer, Good Offer, Kissed, Cursed Effigy Defeated... NOT 1000 TIMES but maybe 10 (for battle)? 50? 100 at most, like Burned?
This year I almost forgot the Effigy existed, heh x-x
Fireside is a pretty calm holiday, sandwiched between Morostide and Luminaire. While I enjoy the downtime and don't mind the boring aspects of the holiday (all i have to do is catch floaters and throw them in a fire, thank goodness), the lack of diversity in items is very disappointing. I don't collect wearables or plushies. The Cursed Effigy is always welcome, so that I won't complain about, but why no books from the bonfire?
The site is running great for you? I am having HORRENDOUS lag, to the point where I don't want to do much more that try to check the forums and put my pets in the resorts.
But yes, this event is boring at this point. I'm not even finding floating items, which means even less to do.
I don't mind that Fireside isn't super event oriented, but I'm surprised the Vending Machine items weren't re-introduced again. I'm pretty peeved that there aren't any minions, stickers, or books. We have been told MULTIPLE times that there is a list that the artists go back, and yet somehow this keeps happening. Very little differentiation in items makes for a frustrating event when chunks of people get alienated because somehow the list slipped through the cracks.
Well there is a new sticker and book released via the Recycle Beat... I don't count that as being part of the event though...
I have had minimal lag, and I haven't had the site go down for me at all... Compared to the lengthy downtime during the last event, I'd say the site is running better
I was really hoping to see vending-specific special items back, it was a different thing to do during this event... I even saved up tokens for it :P oh well.
When we are repeatedly told that the reason staff isn't present in other situations is because they are working on events? ...yeah, it does seem like the events should be doing more. I do admit that Morostide was involved and incredible for people who were able to actually complete the plot(I had major glitch issues). However, it should be an ongoing thing with a site like this, especially if it's the reason other stuff doesn't get done.
I wish we'd been given more tiers for the achievement of being kissed. It would have helped to make up for the annoyance of having a red blotch on my HA. :)
Even Carl is not giving out Fireside items like he has for the past few holidays. :(
Fireside has always been my second favorite holiday because I just love the autumn theme etc. but I agree that this year it feels kinda lame. Nearly everything is about plushies / beanbags and wearables for what I personally have not much interest left. Sure we got a few (five?) food items which are pretty and a couple of ne/revamped Pets so far but other than that I'm terribly underwhelmed I have to say and the "get burned 100 times" achievement, which I don't expect to get before 2025 if the rate keeps being shitty like that, doesn't help me there either.
I've barely been getting any floating items, no matter how much I'm on site
Come on, Carl, there are is a TON of retired stuff that you could be giving out . . .
- I feel the same way. I'm manually refreshing a crapton and barely getting anything in a reasonable time frame :/
I agree with the fact that Carl should give out retired fireside items... also the lack of floating items I find is pretty annoying :( I do use that CSS code which make them all appear on the left side of the screen for me and increasing the rate of being burned would be fantastic! :p
