      Hey Brigby, thanks for sharing all of this. I noticed that in the spoiler section of past events, Hour of Revelation is listed. I'm assuming it's not going to run this week, based on the fact that it's not included in the upcoming events section. However, I just wanted to get some clarification from you now if possible, so that coalitions can adjust accordingly.

      Thanks!

      Is the new norm one coalition event a week?

      Is HoR coming back? My team misses the midweek event.

      One coalition event a week is too little. People is so Used to midweek + weekend. Why change that? If you don't want to repeat HoR transform any old in a coalition event. But don't let us without a midweek coalition event.

      @Brigby Some transparency in to how these event schedules are concocted would be very much appreciated. If there´s anything you can share around why the decision has apparently been made to cut the newer standard events (ToA/HoR), that´d be great.

      He said last week that this is the Halloween schedule.. Which I guess means run the same boring events that we played on the weekend mid week? 

      I appreciate the attempt at mixing things up.  But this is pretty much the opposite of what we want as players.  Now if we had Avacyn's Madness, Halloween zombie event, Inventor's Fair, Trial of Strength, Hour of Devastation, or ANYTHING else we haven't played 10 times in the last 10 weeks that would be GREAT!

      The spoiler section contains the full details for all recently run events, simply as a reference for all players. It doesn't necessarily guarantee that an event in the spoiler will run that week/month, however more often than not it will be included in the schedule at some point. If this proves to be too confusing for players though, then I can add it to the spoiler only if it is added into the schedule at the same time.

      When it comes to the events being run, as babar3355 mentioned, the current schedule is specifically arranged for the Halloween season. I will be sure to inquire about evaluation of the event schedule moving forward.

      @Brigby no HoR for the 3rd week in a row :-(
      We like PvP coalition events!

      Sigh, literally no one was complaining about HoR, but tons are sick to death of RotGP.  Can we get some color behind why we have to run the same event each weekend?  Why not the Samut event or something?

      Hope ToA is coalition...

      But I almost sure it isn't...

      So @Brigby,  where is Training grounds? 

      It was supposed to start at 11:00 am UTC, isn't it?

      Please ask to developers to publish the week schedule and the different updates on it in the app inbox, 2 or 3 days before the week starts. It should help players to know what is happening with events as the most of them do not read the forums. 

      Thank you.

      *(11/08/17) Brigby - Updated Single-Player and Multiplayer events

      @rafalele Apologies, but that was actually my fault. I had written 11am UTC, when in actuality it was due to start at 11pm UTC.

      @NiftyC I spoke with the developers, and it appears that Hour of Revelation is currently set up as a "Legacy" event. It was disabled, partially due to the Halloween events occurring, and partially due to the negative feedback from players. Unfortunately, reverting it back to "Standard" requires a new update, which hopefully will occur sometime this month. Until then, I'm afraid Hour of Revelation will be unavailable as a playable event.

      It seems to me negative feedback was mainly caused by the Something Went Wrong problems (also some expressed their concern about the difficulty of reaching the "kill 3 or more creatures" objective), but was not strong to the point of asking the suppression of the only PvP coalition event we have

      The negative feedback I was referencing was regarding the original plan to change Hour of Revelation from "Standard" to "Legacy." By the time we decided to revert the change though, it had already been added to the patch. To prevent the event from running, we had to temporarily remove it from the event calendar.

      Coincidentally, it was already planned to be temporarily removed, due to Halloween events being scheduled. The next patch is when Hour of Revelation will be returned to its "Standard" setting and re-added to the schedule.
