No Holiday events? Bruh…

You guys are still doing a great job. Everyone drops the snowball sometimes.

The list only goes to mid-december. Relax

The calendar goes through the entire month, though. No "holiday" events are currently listed there.

Awesome, so those that don’t want to play your game have now taken away the choice for those that did want to play your game. What a truly odd decision.

Are you new here, or just really enjoy being a martyr? Boss and a normal PVE were never done simultaneously. Until BCS came along and messed up the scheduling, by their own admission. Trust, the number of players who want to play 5 events during a holiday weekend(U.S.) when we're trying to be with our families is small, and it doesn't make you better than anyone else that you'd rather play 5 events at once than doing other things in life.

So go be with your family then and stop worrying about how other people spend their free time.

Are trailers considered spoiler? Anyway, I edited my post.

Sorry if I was unclear, that was not meant as a reply to your post but as a question to @IceIX opening post. I wasn't certain if the empty spoiler tags are intended as separator/header or that the info below should be in it.

It's the beginning of the month. The spoiler tags normally have events that have finished already. Hence, empty spoilers.

This community might be one of the really few ones where there are people who don't want to play the game any extra amount of time and also they hate people who just want to play more, demonizing them.
I wonder if this people did try to unistall the game: suddenly there is a lot of extra time to spend with their families.
Although that way rewards won't come anymore: there is no perfect solution.

@IceIX - Am I reading this right, that the Iron First (Immortal Weapon) PVP ends after the season end? Will it not count, just like last time? (and therefore only 9 total PVP events this season) Like last time, the season is also starting a day before the 1st event.

My fave thread! Please do them more regularly! Thanks, happy December

You're assuming a lot. Or have you taken a survey I'm unaware of?? I've seen just as much players in favor of having both running simultaneously. Don't presume to be in some great majority here.

From general polling on the forums it is close, but the general majority is not in favor of it. Maybe 60-70% do not want them running concurrently. But, it appears there is a sizable portion that do want "something" to do besides just the boss events. Which I have been vocal about for a while.

There is difficult balance between providing enough content to play for those that want it without hitting the FOMO button.

Look, PvE offers 5* shards. Each latest 5* gets a limited number that they're featured during their stint in latest and every classic only comes up very rarely. So if PvE runs at the same time as bosses and you decide you can't handle both, you will miss out on one of those limited turns of that 5*'s shards. Which can be slightly annoying, depending on your progress of the character.

I think both times the PvE's featured classic legends and not latest legends? Maybe I'm wrong. But, we got extra Adam Warlock shards last time and this time was not a latest legend either.

Considering that classics only get their turn once a year, missing out on them is kinda worse, not better, lol. At least for someone who doesn't have all of them champed and would like to make progress on them. Either way, same basic problem.
(And no-- at least last time, it was Emma Frost. Which I remember, because I did want her shards and was at the double-event, haha. )

I'd like to see your data to come to the 60-70% conclusion. I've never seen a general majority anywhere that doesn't want it.

As I stated from general polling on the forums it is in that area.

I will point you to this thread from the end of August.
https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/87378/would-you-prefer-non-puzzle-gauntlet-events-to-run-alongside-boss-events#latest

We can't ask every player, only look at those who participate. I would hazard to guess people engaged on the forums or reddit would be MORE likely to play these events not less likely. Again that is just a guess.

The best source you can trust is that it has been repeated already a lot of times.
That proves on devs metrics people actually play, whatever their personal opinion could be.
Doing a pve just on progression rewards is a relaxing event.
Also there is the player strenght factor: an advanced 5* strong player needs half the time than others, and then they aren't on the same boat.
Actually what I want is fun, extra, interesting new content.
Still waiting for it. Hope is the last thing to lose, like Pandora's myth.

ThaRoadWarrior

I've never skipped playing it, because you want a steady resource income when you're f2p, but i resent it being there every time.

Apart from Heart of Darkness, is She Hulk going to be featured any more times before she leaves latest?

Xception81

With the caveat that the schedule is a little fluid with BC lately, and they mentioned they’re trying to get back on a normal one “soon”… I think she’ll get one more feature with Infinite Pursuit on 12/25. That’s a couple days before she leaves Latest Legends, so I think it’ll be safe.

Did anyone else notice a classic token in their Classic Legend store? I was looking to see if Arcade was in yesterday and I saw a Classic token. I didn't make any purchase at all. I've been searching high and low for the origin of this token.

Classic tokens were in one of the vaults, recently. Probably that's where you got it from.

I don't have one, myself, so I don't think it was a playerbase award.

HoundofShadow

Thank you. That explains why I got a classic token. They must be located past the first "page" of the vault. It must be some vault I'm not interested in.
