    Anyone else getting a snowball fight pvp instead of Swordmaster pvp?

    Here... A bit weird an off season PVP being pushed out, not to mention overlapping PVE...

    I think the new devs haven't yet realized just how much hardcore players organize their lives around MPQ. It's been 10 or so years of basically the same stuff happening at the same time every day/week/month/etc.

    It's interesting that BCS seemed to understand this stuff right away, because it's honestly not intuitive. I wonder if they got a different sort of handoff than these guys got.

    Maybe... because the Dev Team are from a different timezone (I think it was Australia), they have launch all the events with times that they can control within working hours...

    But I do agree you... routine 😅 it's hard to change it...
    But... (big but), if that comes with the perk that they can work better ... so be it 😅

    Oh I think they'll fix all this before too long. I don't expect to be on Australia time forever! They'll get back on the old schedule once they understand how critically important it is to the vets (and I imagine they are finding out about that right now!).

    They just don't know yet, and it's really not obvious when you're coming in from the outside.

    I don‘t think it’s the timezone, pve got wrecked cause they restarted it and pvp might be intentional because retro rewards aren’t out just yet

    It sure would be nice if they would just pop in and give a quick update once a day, or as new weird things appear.

    ...a thing we've all said for the last 13 years. They won't.

    Maybe they're posting stuff on discord?

    Also, no support shards in the rewards for this pvp.

    We had that glorious three or four months in 2022 when communication was an A+. It was everywhere. Here, there, all over. Lots and lots of communication because the new devs wanted to be adored.

    It died in no time at all and communication became even worse than the old regime.

    We've had it before then too, at various points. Demiurge never said anything at all toward the end, but they communicated ok in the early years and sometimes after then too. Then they'd go a year without saying anything.

    They just can't ever seem to be consistent with it. I'm not sure why. Other games do it.

    Maybe the new team read all comments about how the game was too repetitive and wanted to try mixing things up?

    Welcome! Super appreciate you jumping in and communicating. Thanks so much and we look forward to hearing more. Also, we are glad to answer many questions you may have. As you know, this game has been around and exceptional amount of time for a mobile game and many of us have been playing for more than a decade. So we are certainly glad to assist with any questions. Cheers!

    Indeed, thank you for the communication. It’s greatly appreciated and I feel like most players are willing to tolerate a lot more so long as they know what’s going on. Looking forward to moving forward 😊

    Great to hear from the new Devs, good luck with what appears to be a mammoth task!

    Welcome to the craziness that is MPQ. If you or your designers have any questions about non-coding stuff, ask away. There are quite a few players who are well versed in the game, and have been around since the "Dark Reign" began. Good luck.

    I would still appreciate some basic schedule information if that is a thing they can provide.

    Even just "this is the next event and it will start on this date" provided as needed would be helpful right now.

    The initial comms are nice to see.

    My contribution: New Devs - Do not look in the "If you'll indulge me" thread.

    Beat me to it
    Probably best not to read anything I have said or, will say in the future
    Welcome @TheMigz
