Lady Lyuba Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I know I'm one of the only people on these boards who has access to the NC mall and uses it too frequently, but hearing from other NC frequenters, the prizes this year were disappointing. Maybe not disappointing, but I can say there certainly were not enough clothing items and WAY too many handheld items. Plus the fact that most pets are female which is why there are not enough outfits for male pets (bad for me cos most of my pets are male), and I hear others complaining about too many dresses. As much as I love them, I only have a few female pets. :laughingsmiley: Reading the boards about the SS, players are also complaining about the lack of Winter themed items. So....I'm sure you have lists here of previous years, and they were better, right? As far as I'm convinced by everyone, they must be. I do love the Colourful Ice Staff I got last year - that was the only prize I got. This is my first year participating full time in the event - should I do this again next year? Many won't, but who says the prizes will suck next year? For all we know they could be better. I can at least say I'm happy with some of the garlands, the only background, the icicle wings, and the holly wig. But a bit more clothing, and less handheld items, please. :P I think people always have their expectations too high for something, especially if they participated in the past. This is my first, so I can't say too much for myself, only hope there will be better things in the future. Perhaps my expectations are lower than everyone else's.

Xepha Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It looked better the previous years than the latest one I think... Mind you, I decided not to participate into this year, and I don't regret it. :P I've only done it fully in 2009. The prizes were lovely back then, I think. Especially the Gingerbread Dream House Background that I adore. Stocking Stufftacular 2009 | Stocking Stufftacular 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 To be honest, I've never really been overly impressed with the SS in general (the items and how you claim your prize) and have never regretted not participating. NC items as a whole weren't all that spectacular this year, imo, with the exception of a few items/events which people snatched up like hot cakes. I guess people find it disappointing because this is the third year of doing it and know what people like/hope to find be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is the first year I've done it for the full month. It wasn't too bad. I would have liked more backgrounds though. But for the amount of items you get by buying the 25 pack at the discount price, it was worth it to me. But I love Christmas-themed things, and my Christmas uni is Christmassy customized year round, so this will give me a lot more options for her. The gift boxes weren't too shabby either (got 2 fully decorated ones which, when bought in capsules, would be at least 200NC and only have a CHANCE of being in the capsule). I'm mostly content with what I received :santa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Kinda makes me wish they re-released soem of the things from previous years, they always look better than the ones of this year. Always a pattern. I'll bet ppl were disappointed with last years stuff, too. I don't regret particicipating, since I never have, in fact, I regret not doing it the first couple of years! I'll have lots to add to my wishlist! XD I'm just so seasonal obsessed. Must have all the Halloween and Holiday items for my pets. :laughingsmiley: But it looks to me that humans just have high expectations for everything. Well, I hope TNT gets complaints form all the NC customers so they know what to release for next year....and what NOT to release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have anything that is Halloween related if I can get my hands on it, lol. I've never really done the SS either, though this year I did all but two days. Sadly it was the first two and I missed out on the Candy Cane Sword and the Spring of Holly Wig :(....Other then that so far the only items I liked were the Gothic Ornament Wings (because I like that kind of stuff and I collect wings), the Winter Thermal Shirt and Vest, and the Icicle Wings. Sad since that is only three of the items given out of twenty-three so far that are good to me. I doubt I'll waste my NC on this again...Lol but watch next year they'll have just the greatest stuff ever just to irritate us ;P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, TNT likes to annoy us sometimes, and sure, this year WAS a waste of NC - they do make plenty NC - wasting events, which is also a waste of real money, too. I'll admit I'm quite addictid to the NC chance games like JubJub Power Bounce, just because they have something I'm after, but I often end up with a lame prize I don't want - multiples of them. :sad02: Oh, when will I learn? but it is still exciting. And you're right, next year they probably WILL have the greatest stuff ever, and we'll all regret NOT participating because THIS year was cruddy. :laughingsmiley: I'll bet you're right about that too, that it'll happen. XD I think it's happened in the past! I just checked the prize lists, and this year's are LAME compared to years past! I want all those prizes I missedout on now - the Mistletoe Dress and Holly scarf........ :sad02: I would gladly trade these years prizes for previous years...the problem is this year's prizes suck SO MUCH that nobody will want them, nor will they be willing to trade. I can at least add them to my wishlist I guess, and see if anyone notices. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had many times many of doubles and gave alot of them away to guild members and friends. I've never really started a wishlist before. Maybe I should and perhaps I'll get lucky and get a few things from previous years. Good luck to you with it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
