    Technically the first couple of February events were added to the January thread. We're covered for the next two PVP (War of the Realms and Oops All Spiders) and PVE (Simulator and X-Men vs Apocalypse) for this week.

    But yeah, normally that would have been the first entry of a February Sneak Peek thread. We should be due an update before the new season starts on Thursday, to cover both the first PVP events of the season and the PVE event that will start over the weekend just before Apocalypse ends.

    Or maybe a R194 or now R195 official thread?

    We are currently in a state of Schrodinger's February.

    Seems like they consider posting the update notes on the main D3Go site good enough, at least for now.

    On a serious note: it is quite strange they have chosen to semi-abandon this forum. The General forum of Marvel PuzzleQuest has more comments than the other two forums entire content put together. That is just one section of the MPQ board suggesting the traffic here is waaaay higher than the other 2 D3Go published games that have forums here. Yet this is the one they cut a Community Manager from. Odd decision.

    They're just letting us manage it for ourselves.
    They've let us leave the nest and learn to fly on our own.

    So we should just go ahead and post our own Feb thread then I'm guessing.

    That is going to include an update that the devs will be giving a free log-in gift of any 5* cover of your choice if you log in and play at any time in February and also again in March. And as we wont put that legal bit in about things changing before they happen, they will have to abide by it! ;)

    More like letting the inmates run the asylum.

    I mean we're the official bug testers for the game so might as well wear multiple hats and be the community manager too.

    Maybe they have fully embraced Agile Management Principles, and have decided that the forum no longer needs an official Project Manager, just a Scrum Master in the form of moderators who simply exist to make sure the process rules are being followed. All estimates and work are owned by the team, and all new threads will take the form of User Stories.

    *edit - this ascii art scrum board looks correctly aligned in the typing view, but hilariously broken in the saved post view. I'm just going to leave it
