Hey there Agents! We wanted to let you all know we'll be skipping this month's Dev Q&A as we are all hard at work with preparing for this year's Anniversary celebration. We'll have more to share on this front soon!

What I can tell you is you've never seen an MPQ Anniversary like this before. ;)

    We haven't seen a full schedule released 2 weeks ahead of time, now that would be an anniversary if you guys do release the full month schedule!

    Like….no offense….but undefined hype for something we’ve never seen before is a sure way to disappoint a whole bunch of people who are going to develop unrealistic expectations now.

    They do this every year and people get disappointed every year.

    At this point the blame is closer to 50/50 though -- if you've been around for awhile, you should know that they always hype up anniversary way out of proportion to what it actually ends up being, and adjust your expectations accordingly.

    I mean if we have vaults comparable to last year, that's hype enough for me

    In the years past, anniversary started on the first Thursday of October and ran for only a week or so. After BCS took over, anniversary starts whenever the previous season ends in October and has been extended to a full season.

    Last year, the 10th Anniversary started on October 19th. This year, the Power Season ends on October 14th. So yes, it's looking like October 17th for the 11th Anniversary.

    Last year, 10/5 was the start of things with Quandary, some giveaways etc. The PvP season did start 2 weeks later.

    Because PvP wasn’t in sync with the other events in October, the anniversary vault was kept open for a couple more weeks until the PvP season ended.

    Oh no! How will we survive without our monthly allotment of the same old, cryptic non-answers?!

    I am sure this will be fixed with the engine update.

    I'm not getting hyped for the anniversary event. Keeping expectations extremely low this year.

    If this is going to be an anniversary like never before, it means we must be getting the new game engine as part of anniversary because we've never had that before.

    I'm going to be one of those zombies if they didn't solve the RNG issues with Quandary's puzzles.

    Ah, I stand corrected. I focused on the seasons last year, instead of the actual anniversary celebrations. Thank you for the link and reminder.

    Going back to my records, the anniversary celebrations started on the 1st Thursday of October, overlapped halfway into the current (Power) season, and continued into the 1st half of the next season (which was aptly named Anniversary Season). This is reflected in the Notes section below, where the Double Iso-8 indicates the rewards for the anniversary events.

    If last year's anniversary is any indication, this anniversary should follow a similar track.

    Apparently is not going to be the puzzle based version of Quandary, more and I quote "Bashy, Bashy"
