LavaManLee said: that in-game communication is atrocious
LavaManLee said: Not to go too far sideways on this thread, but have to agree with the above that in-game communication is atrocious. I shouldn't have to go to the forums to find out what is going on with this game. Most mobile games have some kind of mail delivery that this one does not and that, I believe, is part of why communication is so poor.
JHawkInc said: Probably October 4th. We always get new PVE and PVP on Thursdays, that's a good time to kick of both a new PVE event and an Anniversary Season. And with the Anniversary itself on the 3rd, that's right in line for when most of the other Anniversary events have started. We'll get one more non-Anniversary PVE event after Thick as Thieves, and we'll go through the PVPs from the Sneak Preview thread, the one after America would theoretically be the first one of Anniversary.

We haven’t done the Time Stone Season yet. The theory is they don’t want to reward it during a short season. Not sure why they didn’t arrange a separately themed short season instead. Too much easy rewards, I suppose.

One brief reference to the anniversary as an aside tucked into an unrelated post doesn't count for much, especially since we know it's upcoming simply by virtue of what an anniversary is. I don't expect to have every detail outlined for us already, but to be a week away with no official acknowledgment or even a start date doesn't properly attend to or stoke your playerbase's excitement.

Lots of people already holding back purchases and resources in preparation for the anniversary. If stoke players that are unaware of it, they'll lose even more sales as more people hold off.

Yes we the forum regulars know anniversary is nigh upon us. My point was to address people not on the forums that play the game. Players get used to patterns season ends get 2 events new season starts up. People unaware of the forums or the anniversary are likely scratching their head right now wondering where the season is at. I'm not asking for any details. I'm suggesting the actual game could have a news section for news. A message of "we will be having an extended off season in preparation for the upcoming anniversary" would be all that's needed.Edit: this reads a little aggressive toward you mega ghost. That was not my intent.
