Can you list “Any” mmo before 2000? i’d like the names of a few.
Animations take a lot of time and work.
Amazon hires designers. Also, there are more then one type of designer(s). There is a major issue with animations as it is, i would not like them to commit resources to a game that is on the verge of “dying” for useless holiday nonsense.
Btw, I feel that such things should never be in games. Games should design their own holidays, way away from the ones we have in RL. It would make the game far better. Doing an xmas holiday with another name is not what i am talking about at all.
yea imagine… the only thing worse would be to waste ones time going to a forum just to say those words without context… imagine sitting around having nothing to do but be glum all the time to enter posts to say this is bad but refuse to name why.
imagine complaining about complaining must be a very thoughtful fella
Everquest is an example, but yes most mmo’s came between 2001-2005.
i am well aware that making a new animation does, however recycling an effect takes no time… if it where recycling of a character it would be a different matter but this only required recycling existing effects fully with changing position & trigger along with adjusting color, a task that would take roughly 1-2 hours by 1 person if it should look nice.
you know i am reffering to game design along with the ones in charge of handling the in-game store…
the first post was on the forums saying happy new years bud. The second one was twitter. So it was posted on both places. Sorry you cant figure that out.
Those are part of the winter event and have nothing whatsoever to do with new year…
you would not compare easter & halloween either right ? -.-
your job does not consider them the same either i can guarantee you that much… they are separate holidays that just happen to be close, many use their saved up holidays in between to get 1 long holiday out of it but it does not merge then together.
you might confuse it becourse schools per standard use all holidays between them but that still wont result in holidays being the same -.-
you do notgive or recieve gifts that day nor does a tree have much to do with it…
Winter’s convergence is an event that was set to last untill 11th of january. It encompasses the entire holiday season which includes both Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
You seem to be confused. Maybe drop these types of topics, since they go over your head.
Halloween wouldn’t be small if we didn’t have some priority issues to solve, so less event and more work.
Winter event I think is cool, something that reminds Christmas and at the same time brings a festive atmosphere with exclusive items. About the New Year I believe that the biggest star would not be fireworks or any kind of animation event, but its next update that arrives this month.
So I expect more about content and things working than the team just thinking about festive marketing.
Also add “Auld Lang Syne” playing in almost every settlement. I am sure a lot of players missed it due to the fact many play there own music while playing.
This comparison is absolutely wrong. Christmas is a part of the celebration of Christmastide which runs from the 24th of December to the 5th of January and New Years is most definitely a part of that.
Even if it were not a part of Christmastide New years and Christmas are both in winter and only a week apart. Summer and Halloween are both different equinoxes as Christmas and Easter are both seasonally different.
Putting a New Year celebration as part of Winter Convergence makes perfect sense - and they still recognized it.
furthermore… please lookup what christmass & new year mean along with their history… they are as unique as easter & halloween to say the least… you might even be of the belief that christmass has always been with a tree & gifts… i don’t wanna be a grench but the history of christmass has its fair share of blood.
they didnt tho -.-
the lore NEVER mentions anything related to the passing of time or new year…
furthermore nothing reflects new year, we have the northern lights & gifts & trees & grench.
Winter Event was very shallow, there should be way more activieties, rewars were very unrewarding. There should be atleast Legendary weapon with good perks, or some epic looking skins. Existing one are joke.
must be a very thoughtful fella
