sepulhead Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Why not on nov 1 (all soul's) or nov 11 (armistice day) Does Bioware only care about their us customers:rak_02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDougherty Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well November 11th is Veteran's Day for US, so that's not why they haven't done that day. But if they do all Holidays then they would be constantly doing stuff, but they are slightly blind to Non-US holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorfaneightys Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Why should we celebrate for the us? it is just a country like any other counry in the world? It's already been mentioned by others that it's a U.S. game/company - they're bound to do certain promotions on U.S. holidays. A large amount of the player base is there too. As someone from Britain I don't see what the problem is. If they were British they might add a promotion on the 5th of November. We still get the promotion, but it's not geared around the specific celebrations of our own countries. Big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPryde Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanksgiving is only celebrated in US and Canada Wrong. Thanksgiving is also celebrated in Germany and other countries in Europe.. In german it is called "Erntedankfest". It only happens to fall on a different date, but the reason for celebration is the same. Even Halloween is imported to Europe more and more and noone is remembering the ancient druidic celebration on which the gross pumpkin celebration originates.

Nemmar Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Canadian* game company, BiOWare is Canadian. I'm pretty sure this game is developed by Bioware Austin, wich is in Texas, USA. Edited October 19, 2013 by Nemmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korevas Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wrong. Thanksgiving is also celebrated in Germany and other countries in Europe.. In german it is called "Erntedankfest". It only happens to fall on a different date, but the reason for celebration is the same. Being german myself I am highly surprised to find out that people here celebrate pilgram fathers sponging off the natives, when it would probably have been in their best interest to scalp them instead. Thanksgiving may have originated from religions fanatics (or the natives) who may have had a vague idea of a harvest festival similar to german erntedankfest, but today's incarnation of thanksgiving has almost nothing in common with it anymore. Ironically, canadian thanksgiving is quite similar to german 'thanksgiving', so maybe that's what you are confusing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'm pretty sure this game is developed by Bioware Austin, wich is in Texas, USA. indeed. if they where giving us double XP for thanksgiving because they where Canadian last weekend would have been the double XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kontraz Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The Company is Canadian however, it's like saying Nintendo has European studios so it's a European game. If you want to go that route, Bioware is owned by EA, which is in California. Would you consider Donkey Kong Country to be a Japanese (nintendo) game or a British (rare) game?

Rafaman Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Lol! This thread has been humrous... aside from the WWII reference. But just to clarify, is the complaint that there aren't more double xp weekends or that they fall on the wrong holidays? The later doesn't matter because double XP still occurs.

LingBa Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Since we're talking about each others cultural history and holidays, isn't there a holiday you Germans celebrate about the feast you had with the Jews back in the 30's and 40's? I'm pretty sure that comment is pretty close to being unacceptable. A German corrects standard Septic ignorance of the world outside North America and gets flamed for it. Apologise you *****. You are ignorant and arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorstram Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Listen you ingrates. This is 'Murica. Our holidays are celebrated 'ROUND THE WORLD! If BW decides to give double xp on Independence Day, it's going to be on July 4th, because THAT'S THE DAY WHEN THE WORLD WAS MADE INDEPENDENT! But seriously, where's my double XP during Hanu-Rama-Kwanz-mas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
