C'mon Cryptic, where's the calendar??

I know Cryptic is focusing a lot of resources into the console side, but really, you can't spare someone for 15 minutes a month to populate the in-game calendar? We've got a fleet holding release coming next week, followed immediately by "Hearts & Minds" for Halloween, and a featured episode shortly after that. Not everyone checks the forums, and even here we don't get the most timely announcements, so the Calendar is one of the more useful game features. Don't forget where the majority of your revenue is coming from... :|

    I think they are waiting for the Artifacts to fix all that. lol
    The Rising of the Delta is the best expansion ever, and people love it to death because it is a good day to die in the endless struggle for supremacy of your own conviction. (A spin off of the Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and all the players love it.)

    Do you even see the regular Event 'Hearts and Minds' on the Calendar? Case closed.

    There's no point to the calendar anymore. Basic fact is that Cryptic can, and is entitled by the ToS to alter the dates or what whatever event they run. If they put things on the calendar and alter whatever, all that would happen is forum rage for the change. It's easy on everyone if they just remove it, then no-one can complain if any changes happen!

    *fixed. At least on Xbox One, there's some people spending loads of cash and buying keys. I keep trying to buy up low cost keys to drive up the price... but someone keeps slapping more and more low priced keys up on the exchange.

    XbURGfa.png I took this on Tribble. Assuming this remains the same, the November has the Crystalline Cataclysm 3 week event and then After a week's break, The WInter Wonderland to close out December.

    Looks also like a Dilithium Weekend coming up, but no mention of 'Hearts and Minds'.

    So the Console port is getting the 'Artifacts' update and new fleet holding AFTER the Console version?

    The calendar should not be used to list stuff ahead of time.

    I can see it being useful for showing when things end, but it shouldn't show upcoming stuff, it spoils the surprise.

    I couldn't agree more. Surprises are what keep a lot of folks coming back for more. To ruin that would be to ruin their joy, their fun.

    That's all BS. We need some sort of predictability. I understand that certain things they don't want to put out before, like Sales and special giveaways. But with things like three week Events, 'Hearts and Minds', or even Weekend Events they should be announced ahead of time.

    With Contraband Turn-in being a 20-hour item instead of 4, you lose out on an entire day of the Bonus without the schedule. It allows planning for Item Upgrades also lets say. And as a side effect it allows the Ferengi plenty of time to create Superior Upgrades to have a plentiful stock on hand to be able to maximize their profits during the Event.

    also, how long are they going to hold out for an upgrade weekend? I can hold out until the game closes so...
