you missed that announcements comes 0-2 hours before the eventView attachment 7896
So what event is starting in 8 hours?
I don't care bout the timing of he announcement, as we will know details in most times 2 hours later after start of the event anyway.Yes, the announcements are always available on the same day as the event release on beta. This is intentional.
Well, if it is finished earlier than expected, then testing it as soon as possible to have as much time as possible to fix issues during and after the beta test, is a good thing I would assume.I understand reasons for postponing, but not for preponing
Well, beta is always a bit different than the other servers. There is always a slight possibility for things to go wrong and an event having to be postponed.
I am curious as to what the preparations for an event are, though? I used to prepare a lot for events some years ago, but I don't do that anymore. The tasks are always doable, no research, no conquering on the map. The only thing you'd need to prepare might be productions or the AD, but as the quests are unknown until the event starts and there are supply rush items, I don't really see the point in preparing.
