Okay, here's the short story: Post on this thread and make it popular, and perhaps the GMs will see this and help me get something I can't stand to wait a year that I waited LAST time to get with no luck.

Okay, here's the long story.

You do realize that school is still in, Three Rings, right? Right? ...Because I'm doubting your knowledge of that quite a bit after you chose to end this Kataclysmic Confrontation event rather... early? Early, in the middle of school testing, when all I've had time to do is study for test after TEST AFTER TEST? Are you really gonig to do this to me, Three Rings? Is this really the way you want to play this game with me? Had you made this event start maybe two weeks later, I think quite a bit of us here on the forums would have been a bit more...pleased with you. Because you see, I've had practically any time at all to play your amazing game to obtain something that most other players already have. Except... for... me. The Black Kat Cowl. Three Rings, please! Even if you don't bring back the missions for a while, AT LEAST give us some more time to find some more Black Kats in the clockworks! It is absolutely outrageous that you'd completely go against knowing what time of year it is (School testing periods) and just have this happen behind the majority of everyone's backs. Honestly, if you're not going to help me here, then I will not be a happy camper at all. I'll probably just go cry some more in a corner about how impossible it is to make friends in real life... Yes. I really do that. A LOT, as rather... unmanly as it might seem. But, yes, you readers are absolutely right... I'm digressing from my point.

IF you extend this event (or at least the random Black Kat spawns) by another week, you will please a LOT of people on here. Can you please fulfill at least one of the most socially awkward stalkers' dreams so maybe he can become a better... person? Maybe? I feel left out of pretty much everything as seriously as I take school, and with this event ending before I even realized it started, I will also feel left out of pretty much the best MMO in the Internet with people yelling at me "Hey you, you look rich, but don't even have a Black Kat Cowl? LOLOLOL that sucks for you loser!" I see those types of people a lot these days in Haven...

...Please?

People have lots of tests

The testing periods are different for each country. You can't please everybody.

I have no mouth and I need to scream

So I take it no one else realizes that in getting all the things they want from the Kataclysm, they have no real reason to do it? They would much rather you not getting everything you want to keep it coming back alive and well.

Albeit, more permanent events should be in higher demand.

Well, as a student, he does have a point.

In America, it is around the time for AP Testing (If you don't know, be almost glad you don't; probably one of the most...nevermind), finals, and college end of term examinations as well. But hey, the OOO can't please everyone. Not everyone is a student, and they don't know OUR personal schedules, so we just sort of have to deal with it. It's intended to be random, and such.

In all honestly, there's the overall truth too:
It's just a game.

I'm sure you'll live another second, minute, hour, day, year, and so forth just because you didn't get a BKC. We're all slightly somewhat obsessed with this game though we dare not admit it; I think it's only healthy to take a break every now and then.

....

I posted this in some other thread, but I was praying for the Event to happen during my holidays and 3 days after school starts, it happens.

WHYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!!

Here, it's smack in the middle of summer. But it's still a lose since I barely get to play with my connection.

@Illumielle
You speak words of wisdom.

"Had you made this event start maybe two weeks later..." ... I'd have started ranting because how dare them to put an event in Testing periods! I'd have been left out!

They can't please all the whiny brats.

My fellow knights, don't you see!?!?!

It's brilliant timing on OOO's part. Sure you may not have had time to get all that yummy delicious kat gear you wanted, but, with the gunner update right around the corner, it'll probably be released near the end of May or the beginning of June! Allowing you to use your summer vacation frolicking in vana land to get all that yummy delicious new gunner gear!

OPTIMISM! :D

"OOO didn't cater

"OOO didn't cater specifically to me, rabble rabble rabble!"

As mentioned, everybody has different schedules. My university's final exams period was the week before the event, and I know of others who are this upcoming week. Either way: it'll be back again likely before the year is up, and you can still buy fetishes from other players. Honestly it probably would've been just as fast to just grind Vana and buy a fetish anyway, with how rare Kats were this time around, haha.

I'm with Gianor though, it was a good way to satisfy us temporarily in the final stretch of the gunner update work, which is being released at an incredibly convenient time for most of us.

Well then

You do realize that, shockingly enough, not everyone on the planet attends school in general, much less at this exact moment, right? (In fact, I've heard tell that the majority of the human population is at this moment not attending school!) OOO isn't going to cater to relatively-small percentage of their userbase just because they might be inconvenienced at this present time. Case in point: I myself have not taken anything resembling an exam for several years now, but I did have to go out of town for a family event last week, and so missed a few days' worth of Kat hunting. I didn't care enough about collecting Pages to be horribly inconvenienced, but even if I did, that's just the luck of the draw.

I feel ya

It's annoying, I know, I've been through it. But OOO can't please everyone, if you missed it you missed it. And look on the bright side. It isn't a one time only event, this thing will be coming back multiple times so don't you worry.

Oh no! I work 7:30 to 4:30pm

Oh no!

I work 7:30 to 4:30pm US EST. I can't play during then. I barely play SK anymore but I managed to get 104 ancient pages.

(I had a 4* Kat helm from last time.)
