Lunar New Year In Game Celebration....
@S0kun
Where's the store, vault, etc??? There have been various missteps over the years (eg vaults with no Asian characters), but I can't recall the game not celebrating... Why did this drop off the MPQ calendar? Thanks...

We didn't drop it. Just hasn't been pushed through yet so expect to see it soon with a few reptilian related characters since it's the year of the snake.6 -

Somehow those reptilians are not really 'hot stuff'... hmm...0 -
@Waddles_Pines looks like it'll drop tomorrow instead so if it doesn't show up, that's def a bug that I need to draw the team's attention to.

Oh yay, a repeat of the misstep I mentioned... No Asian characters, and two avatars of death and destruction (Apoc and Knull)... Why is Apoc in a good fortune store...
Can we get a black history month store with no blank characters???
Sorry that's a bit rude, but the tone deafness is maddening... I've been playing this game for longer than I care to imagine. This shouldn't get me all bothered... Oh well...

They are doubling down on the chinese zodiac calendar theme like last year. I'm just anticipating what they're gonna do with year of the rooster and pig. Spider-ham, Kingpin and Blob?

Yeah I guess... But the Good Fortune store is baffling... What do a Wakandan, Corbite, and Egyptian have in common... Lunar New Year??? I guess...
Makes sense when the alternative was Shang, Jubilation, and Wong /s.....

Not to be culturally insensitve. But they probably have no one of Asian heritage on their planning team. You might as well be asking a bunch of Chinese roast meat BBQ chefs to prepare a Halal Kosher meal for Yom kippur

I've dm them multiple times in the past and the reply is always that they'll do better...

Okay, that's just laziness. It's been repeated at least 3 times in a row now. They probably feel obligated to run it again and again because it was so popular back then. Thing is they've fallen so far behind as metas that it can't be considered good fortune anymore.
If they put out a store with Shang Chi people are gonna complain regardless coz most have already max champed him.

To be fair the button they push to randomly generate this nonsense was probably made in China.

I won't complain! Feel free to add the culturally appropriate martial artist, Devs!

Well there is no better way to celebrate the year of the snake than with a dinosaur, dinosaur, dinosaur, lizard, alligator, pterodactyl, octopus and an uhm Knull. Is Monster Face Miles a snake maybe?

Oh well...This actually caught me off guard too. Internally, we thought we had this planned without last year's missteps, but something fell through the cracks with the Year of the Snake vault. Yes, snakes aren't exactly in the same category as the reptiles, but we don't have many actual snake characters to pick from. The shards definitely could've had a more festive tone and should've been swapped.
All that being said though, this year's Lunar New Year vaults will come in 2 parts since it isn't just a one day celebration. The current vault is specific to the Snake zodiac and we'll have a second "Lunar New Year" vault next week running from 2/5/2025 - 2/11/2025. This vault will focus more on the Asian characters in our game so you can expect a few runaway favorites who pack a heavy punch that cut through the stars.

Thanks @S0kun that makes me feel a lot better.
Is there any way, any way at all, that you can change your internal processes such that this information is communicated in advance of the vault rather than in response to player complaints?
I just feel it would go a looooooong way in improving the current player sentiment.
As an aside, I can also imagine this must be a disheartening part of your job (if you allow me to make some assumptions of course). How much more fun would it be to share exciting news about upcoming vaults instead of calming the player base that is unhappy. It’s the basically same message, but just sent to us one day earlier.

Thank you for telling us to save that precious precious hp for a week, greatly appreciated!
