I know I sure am! I cant wait to plan my wars on Christmas and new years. How about you guys?
In all seriousness this is kind of ridiculous. This has never been a problem before, but based on the response maybe that was a coincidence. I duno

If any Kabam fam reads this, yeah, it is senseless since the Holidays are as international as the game is, will be different ones with different names but there will still be, the same way New Year is the same for absolutely everybody, so the reason behind this decission must or at least, should be different
Im just surprised that this is the first time we have ever had this problem, and the response is "well not everyone celebrates so its not our problem", when they literally have entire events built around this being a time of year where most people celebrate some form of holiday. Its just very silly to me
Or
To pretend that this time of year/holiday isn't relevant to your community
if its the first one I would rather have transparency above all else. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes if you're willing to own up to them
So to be clear, that is not the reason we're continuing the War Season, but I will not be tolerating comments from those saying that we must make changes based on the holiday schedule. We have our own schedules we need to stick to as well, and when we can change them, we will. In this case, we cannot.
Personally I didnt have any problem with it since I tend to be alone on this holidays but It seemed odd since last years we had those breaks.
To be perfectly honest I am okay with doing war during the holiday, even on Christmas. I just think its a real kick in the nuts to the planners, who put in more work than anyone, to have to take hours away from their Christmas to make a plan
Thats the real community holiday
I always read it as "Kabam needs to honor real life and let players enjoy the holidays, but heaven forbid I suggest to my alliance leaders that maybe they should honor real life and let the members enjoy the holidays."
To insinuate that the burden is solely on Kabam has to alter things to accommodate real life and not the player's running your alliance is absurd. Join a casual alliance, take a week or two of AW off, take a season off. But really... only Kabam should care about honoring your holidays but not the people running your alliance? Just wow...
Last year, there was a plan to commence the Alliance War season around mid-December. However, someone wisely intervened and decided to kick off the season on the first Wednesday of the New Year. This decision resonated well with most people, which is why I believe many of us have valid and legitimate questions about the current approach.
Moreover, there's a shared understanding that while the team might claim ignorance about upcoming holidays, there will undoubtedly be special Christmas offers available for real money. This disconnect seems a bit perplexing. On one hand, there's a concerted effort to unify the community through live streams and engagement, yet on the other, it feels like an entire year's worth of hard work by the team might be compromised due to what seems like a questionable decision.
Ultimately, it's a little disheartening to witness such a discrepancy, especially when the aim is to foster unity and engagement within the community.
Perhaps it's also prudent that Kabam would put the respect back towards the community instead of "schedules" that show genuine appreciation for the community, instead of a company towed line "we will look into it next year you're feedback is important to us" type of comments.
Ofcourse Kabam isn't obligated to change it, but this is how you help build and maintain a good relationship with a big portion of the Tier1 AW community , who let's be honest put in much more than the average Mcoc player. These gestures of extending the off season keep us more engaged instead of burning out in a month, six months or a year from now.
We put a lot into our alliance- especially the war planners for zero, literally zero extra reward. We build up our alliances and push and feel a sense of pride towards achieving and the players, officers/planners feel a sense of responsibility to succeed for their mates in their alliance because quite frankly being in an alliance and competing gives a big sense of achievement more than any solo game mode and a lot of Tier1 players are competitive by nature.
That's also a fundamental reason why players posted wrong things. Sure they shouldn't post inappropriate comments on the forum, but look a bit deeper and think why are these players frustrated? Again, a two way street where respect is given from both sides (players and Kabam) keeps things going a lot longer than short term "sticking to schedule".
You want Kabam to care about the player base and respect the real life of players, but you don't expect the same from those leading your alliance? Seems backwards and hypocritical to me.
Tell me honestly... 1) How much of a drop will there be missing an AW or two? 2) How much time do you think you will have to devote to an AW that falls over X-Mas? You absolutely couldn't find a couple of 5-10 minute windows to step away without your family disowning you? 3) What's more important? Spending the holidays with your family and being game free for 24 hours of doing AW? Kind of feels like you and your alliance leaders already answered #3?
