This all looks neat, lots of rewards for different interests and I like that it lasts for an entire month. Hopefully the login rewards will get some people to come back and stick around.
 
On the other hand-- is there a chase update coming as well or is this the info we were going to get this week?	
----
			
Is...is that a jetpack? o.O
 
The month long celebration is back! :)
 
I notice no PVP event...does that mean PVP will soon be getting some tweaks?
 
For boss hunter lopp-boxes will we receive a random 3 of these nine when opened?

			Coolbeans, I'll be sure to check out the stream and then update fellow builders on some discords. Thanks for the fast reply!

			So apparently even though you added events to the list of Starfall goodies you neglected PvP, AGAIN.  I know I keep saying that Wildstar is a PvE game with a PvP minigame in it but it sucks that you don't capitalize on the great gameplay, mechanics, and combat.  I know you guys have very, very, very limited resources since they took almost everyone from Wildstar and your running a skeleton crew to keep the game going but what is Wildstar, and every other MMORPG out there, going to do when Camelot Unchained gets to Beta very soon.  Camelot Unchained is a PvP first and PvE is the mini game MMORPG.  Every MMO out there that have PvP centered players are going to lose every one of them when it hits the market.  Keep burying your head in the sand and don't be surprised when Camelot Unchained hits your PvP will turn non-existent.  You think its bad now just wait.  I forgot to mention that the housing/building in Camelot Unchained makes Wildstar look like childsplay and with how the game is built it actually gives what you build a purpose in the game other than "hey look what I built".

			They went out of their way to state things will be different. PVP needs serious tweaks (that's a gentle term to use). I choose to believe they benched the PVP event for Starfall celebrations with intent to address those issues SoonTM.

@ Richard
 
So what's the point of the message? You want WS to attempt to compete with a PVP-centric game? That would be silly, no?
 
DAoC was a great game, so I suspect the development of CU will go well. But in no way is a fantasy PVP-based seige MMO going to steal every hardcore PVPer. People will play the game that has the combat style they enjoy for the most part. And as far as CU's housing... no. Just no. It certainly does *not* make WS's look like child's play. I suspect you don't have a lot of insight into WS's tools and appeal. CU's looks like a cool but onerous system with pseudo-realistic graphics and all the limitations that come with a fantasy-only game. The physics involved in the building process are neat but they will not have broad appeal. It looks like it's going to be a great housing system but it's not WS's housing system and it's not superior.
 
Camelot Unchained will be fun I'm sure-- but I don't see it competing with WS in any way. Not because WS is better, but because they're so incredibly different.

			Really?  *cupcake* bosshunter and starfall?  Couldn't have been sim chase or anything,  we've gone a full year cycle now without seeing the decent chases.  I've been teetering on the fence about the whole quitting thing, and this just might do it.  This past little while I've seen my friends drop like rocks, and cred isn't even moving anymore.  That coupled with the AWFUL *cupcake* Y83 BS PRIME RAID, WHY.  Literally have HM PTSD, not even joking.  I love this game, and this really sucks.  I don't even want to get into the pvp side of things, that whole deal is just sad, I've been debating posting my suggestions on how to fix the three major problems in pvp with a minimal amount of work and barely any core coding changes required to be done, but alas, everything always falls on deaf ears.

@Phlowbie They just announced in the stream today that we're going to get all of the chases in July, back-to-back. :D  I understand your frustration but IMO this is the best thing they could have done. Host a major game/IP focused event throughout June with lots of free stuff for players, bring new folks in and returners back hopefully, and then in July it's gonna rain decor with motivation to run all of the content types over the length of the month.
 
I'm not saying everyone's gonna be pleased, certainly not PVPers, but I think they smashed it out of the park for housing with these decisions! We can stock up on all the chase decor we want in July and then hopefully polished communities will land some time in August or September. :D
 
The last thing to clarify is whether we're going to get access to all of the Sim Chase decor, since there were two different sets. I'm hoping both sets will be available.

			WAIT, WE'RE GETTING ALL OF THEM?  DISREGARD EVERYTHING I SAID.  Didn't watch livestream.  Just assumed like a douchetwat.  I'm not really a pvper, but I feel almost responsible for them somehow, heh.  I'm gonna make another concise post about pvp and the things it would take to fix a lot of the issues with minimal, if any (mostly just variables) code logic changes this weekend, hopefully it doesn't fall on deaf ears again.	
----
			
Haha, yea they slipped it into the beginning of the stream-- I think Conguero's gonna make a post at some point but in case he doesn't get a chance, I'ma head over to the housing forums and do so myself now. :D
 
I'm very happy they're doing this and can't wait to stock up. Being able to buy the best pieces from each chase for my community is awesome-- and I'm also thrilled they're committed to keeping the decor accessible. If the community price gets eased down then I think builders will overall be thrilled!

While that is a good point Chronicler, there was some flexibility. The Starfall quest last year allowed you to do 2v2 practice arena to fulfill the requirement, so small groups of people just went in with no PVP gear and had a lark just to get the Starfall quest done. Actually it was what gave me my 'PVP bug' - I have aquired a taste for it that isn't going away any time soon. I dabble in PVP every now and then, and quite enjoy it, but I might not have done any PVP at all prior to Matrix update if not for that Starfall quest.
 
I suspect that was the intent: try it, you might like it :D

			They already were distributed. Contact support.

Never mind, found them all the way at the bottom of the list of things I have account-wide versions of. They moved to the expected spot in the list after I accepted them on my first character.
 
There are so many things that still appear in my account inventory on characters that already have those items unlocked - it's hard to notice things that really are new.

			Please let them stay as they are! :D Not converted to consumables with finite charges.

			What's the name of the event that focuses on expeditions and you can use your Eko Chit?  I thought it was starfall?

			Oh! That's one of the Chase events. Those are reportedly making a one-last-hurrah comeback in July after Starfall. (The chase events aren't leaving, they're just going to get an upgrade, so it will be the last time 'as they are' before changes.Expeditions, Eko Chits, Eko chits...likely Ekose...so those would be for Sim Space Chase I think.
