dont bring back event items (no this is not only for my personal gain lol)

[ebon void]

i feel like events are a big part of any game but they kind of become discarded when its just a retun of the same events with the same drops over and iver again, i get wanting to give all players a chance to get the event items by making them return in future but personally speaking (and i know a few others with shared opinions) having rare and unique collectable things like the hats is something that makes the game a whole lot more appealing to me, to summarise just change up the events and drops each time they roll around, like last christmas dropped cc items and hats why not make this christmas event drop some different hats / items give players some incentive to grind the events for new unique items instead of having the event roll around each year just for players to get the exact same thing as last year, the events will lose traction very quickly if its just a rerun of the same thing iver and over again

They can add new items and have the old return no issue, not until a long enough time passes theres too many per event which is far from being the case

[ebon void]

thats my point, having items return just puts the event on a timer til the event is pointless, and give it 3-4 years and the new items will just suck to get because there will be so many old ones returning as well

[vestal lily]

I do see your point but they already are potentially toying with how returning items will work, not confirmed but was mentioned as an idea for the christmas reskins to be honor bought over drops this year

[ebon void]

it just kinda makes events not special whatsoever in my eyes, everyone will have every single event item after a little while and they will just get more and more common to the point theyre droppable, personally it makes me not want to grind the events at all because why waste time when i can either a) just buy one off another player for cheap because they are so common or b) just wait til next time

i know for a fact if the items were a one off thing i would play the game so much more to make sure i get them all

but if they return it just feels like any other item, may as well just make them obtainable all year round atp

[vestal lily]

I see what you mean and thats its own issue, one and done is just harsh fomo, something I think they are ultimately trying to avoid

[unique bear]

I dont think id mind items being unique or almost fully unique to a year if it was a reskin/variation of an otherwise obtainable item (candy cane effect but different skin?) Or just a cosmetic. But people will always want the possibility to get old things back

[vestal lily]

I think the benefit of allowing more people access outweighs the disinterest from the people who want more limited items

[unique bear]

Its something theyll figure out, but either way a group of people wont be happy

[deep rock]

Fomo, I'd rather have items return plus add new items/get reskins so players have more variety to choose from. Just don't do same thing every year. Change it up enough to make it unique without making past items disappear completely

Make them drops one year, next make them honor obtainable, next make them be in exclusive dungeons or special encounters etc..theirs plenty ways to go about it...just don't limit limited items to being almost nonexistent otherwise market will continue to be in a bad place. Items need to return eventually so drastic values go down enough without losing value completely. We don't need less than 1% of the player base owning these items only. Games for community, not select few. Also if you don't put in the grind for said items it's your loss. Events last long enough to be obtainable for most items

[wicked mica]

I think a combination of limiting returning event items to a lower drop rate or making them only come back every other year could help as well adding new items to the pool would be beneficial

[steady tapir]

i think easter event was a good test run of returning limited items, we could have a good variety and lowish drop-rates

a good in between of them being a little valuable but also obtainable

[slender otter]

i think more than 20mv for event items is enough (not counting hats)

On Chinese new year people were already buying to profit and it's still expensive to get.

Removing a past event would quickly get the items to 100mv values and we all know how people yap about that..

[hexed crescent]

Given that they have said all the current limited items are returning, that can't be the case.
However i would like to see items in the future which are limited to a certain time period/event, especially now that the playerbase has grown it does make more sense.

I like ekkos comment too, think easter event was a great example
