I don’t feel like I’m playing an event..... collecting programs by doing 4hr talks is pretty boring - I always feel this way about mini events, but I usually don’t mind as they are just after labour intensive main events and the break is welcomed, but not enjoying it as the main Xmas event.
The Xmas/Holiday event (along with Halloween) is always one that players look forward to. Having played this game almost since it started, I’ve experienced all the Xmas events and this ranks pretty low so far....definitely down there with the Solstice Xmas.
I’m not massively excited about any of the content - certainly in the first mini event. The bundles are rehashed from previous events and the new stuff seems a bit... I don’t know... ‘Meh’.
And the lack of crafting is annoying - as much as it can be a grind it can give more cool content and you can get what you want and leave what you don’t.
I get that they are trying to keep it fresh by changing the format. I also get that the Economy of the game has changed with more donuts available and more premium content, restricted land and item counts, and (I’m guessing) probably less players, so some of the old mechanisms may no longer work, but I don’t think this one works - especially for Xmas.
