How many things are you going to do to make the community not like you? It's only January!
Lunar New Year is important to me and many other summoners and the fact no announcement was made about it until it was expected to start is disheartening as honestly despicable IMHO.
I'm one step closer to just forgetting this game exists and closing my wallet Kabam.

Why do they have to announce they are going to do an event that was never guaranteed to happen?
Considering it's something that's occurred for almost 10 years in a row...yea. they should have.
It's really not. It wasn't guaranteed. It just happened. The question was asked and answered.
The question, as far as i’m aware, was answered a few days before January was coming to a end when there were other question regarding the same topic release more then a week ago. A response to the lack of communication shouldn’t be it wasn’t guaranteed, that just seems like terrible practice no matter how you do it.
For something that was reoccurring for a long time, it’s natural to come to expect it. It’s not about having LNY event happen, but communicating with the player-base your plans when they asked for it or doing it on your own initiative to just show you care about the bond your player base has created with the game.
People are not asking for the most ridiculous things. It’s nothing even game breaking. It’s just communication. Most likely the intention to not have LNY would have been made prior to January since it takes a while to code an event. So if they had the forums, discord and a pre recorded live stream, why was it so hard to just say ‘we know you as a player-base come to expect lunar new year, however we decided to switch it up this year and came up with new events where you can get similar rewards throughout the year.’ It’s not even hard, some people will be Disappointed and some probably angry, but at least we could respect the communication effort and instead of waiting weeks to hear about the lunar new years detail we can just forget about it rather then building wasted anticipation. What’s the point of being excited for anything this year if we shouldn’t expect it until it’s announced some random Tuesday morning.
No one said you're asking for something ridiculous.

It's not just "an event" - it's been acknowledged for more years than not because it's a CULTURAL NEW YEAR CELEBRATION.
That's like saying they won't do a Holiday Gift when it's happened every year.
The point is people have been asking and we have seen it every year for better part of a decade and to have no communication except when we ask on the forums after we know where and when the event would typically start is poor communication and lack of accountability.
If this was a Holiday and Celebration that was something you celebrated every year and the game you played always had event around it, you would maybe understand more.
However, you don't seem to celebrate the Lunar New Year, so it may be hard to allow you to understand why it's significant.

Aight so when they decide to not do a July 4th or cyber weekend event without communication is the same thing yea?
I only expect communication for events happening. Communication for events that would change the game like ending AQ/AW/BGs. This isn't the first time it's happened. Like the 90 calendar for Summoner Appreciation. It went away with no communication. We didn't get Halls of Healing or Fortune this last time either.
Just saying, some events change or don't happen.
We still get the 90 day Summoner appreciation calendar though. They changed the name of it and you can pay for double rewards(basically), but still there. We don't really have a need for halls of fortune or healing anymore because of how content is created. They have acknowledged changed to other events like spring cleaning or gifting when it changed to banquet. Lunar New years has been here just as long. And almost always the same type of event. Just saying, ever since miike, Jax and Gabe have left the company, communication has gotten worse, to the point of nearly none, when it was already sub par. They need to do better. Even EA has better comms at this point. And they are notoriously horrible.

The calendar lasted 2 years. Paying for the double track isn't the same as what the calendar was. Not even the same rewards.
Halls of Healing is an example of an event that ended without notice.

Semantics homie. Anyone with half a brain knows what happened with Summoner appreciation. They monetized it to gain the most amount of rewards possible. Same with every other event in the last couple of years. The difference between then and now, is the communication. And that's something you simply can't defend or deny.

I agree the event was stale and the rewards were mostly irrelevant. However, LNY doesn’t have any cultural significance for me, either. If it did, I think I’d feel frustrated by it simply disappearing and the player base finding out via a side comment from one of the devs.
Hello. The LNY event had gotten stale over the years. This year we have decided to mix things up a bit and celebrate some different events.
Don't worry, the rewards (especially the Units) will be included as rewards in these other events.
So instead of improving the event and making reward relevant yall just scrap it? Why is there a limit on how many events can take place in a year? Disappointing…

it was so stale i never did it the last 4 years. I wouldn’t had done this one either so that’s half of the game spans. For me. I don’t care we didn’t get it.
The Trader's Outpost is now stocking a special treat from @Cat_Murdock
Thank you @Cat_Murdock for this profile picture! Have been collecting Lunar New Profile pics since I started playing few years ago. Great that this year’s profile picture came through even though the event is scrapped.

Ok but you do realise you essentially just called a holiday celebrated by over a billion people stale and dismissed it as something not worth celebrating in favor of other events ? Like I get that you probably don’t have a sizeable enough Asian demographic that it pays off enough but still you might want to handle this a bit more sensitive becuse this comes off as really really horrible attitude . This is basic PR especially in light of you know what
Again I am not saying you need to give us tons of rewards or something just literally handle it better and do some basic respectful communication over again an even celebrated by over a BILLION people
Not even doing something as basic as sending a Happy Lunar New Year message to the players ? This is not only deeply disrespectful but it comes as deliberately disrespectful . Like I am honestly as to why you would this ? Again before people start going on rants . This is not about rewards this is about showing a lack of basic respect .
There are numerous events celebrated by billion+ that never got the same level of attention as LNY.
If everything has to stay the same forever, can I have my 11.X scarlet witch back please.
Not everything is a slap in the face, or money grab or deliberate attempt to mislead people...Except selling me a gem and stones in 11.X. Proper slap in the face and misleading money grab that one.

Could you point out to any such even that has been widely acknowledged and celebrated by Kabam year after year only for them to do a bizzare 180 degree turn and not even do something as basic as send a Happy New Lunar year message ?
Nope, but that's because I don't look to sporting events, celebrities and mobile games to do anything other than provide a basic level of entertainment.
Imagine a scenario where a "HLNY" message was sent, forum would still be flooded by people complaining about the lack of rewards.
Don't remember any event being compulsory and everlasting, can you point out any that are?

What nonsense. Crashed said that the in game event was stale. This is like saying everyone who didn't like the Banquet is disrespecting Christmas

So you think it won’t be a big deal if Kabam cancels all Christmas events and doesn’t even send a in game message about the Chritstmas holidays ? With their only acknowledgement being a Christmas item in the store ? You won’t find it strange ?
Eventwise i see, After not letting Players send accolades to Friends but only to Ally members. Now the last event is gone in which you could've used your alt-accounts to Boost (a little) you main acc.

Increase the rewards a bit. The units can stay the same. Maybe even a 1 week community event.
I honestly appreciated the event. Wish it hadn't gone.
