AmorandaAdamah Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Hi - Any news on that spring event? Some of us are excited to have a new event in which to grind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 By two popular definitions, Spring goes on until either the 31st of May or the equinox around 21-22 June (yes, "Midsummer's Day" is at the beginning of summer, not the middle), so there's time yet, but yes, it would be nice to have an announcement about it.

Strathkin Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Yes I'm quite surprised we never saw an announcement in the last few weeks, given that were well into over a Month of Spring already... I mean it's been almost 2 months now since the last Community Update and that was back on February 14th... SWTOR's Videos - Twitch March 14th, and now April 14th come and go and were already more than a month into Spring! I might have even expected a 7.5 update coming in the month of May, though it might not launch till Summer. Welcome, vernal equinox! In 2024, the first day of spring is Tuesday, March 19. Summer Solstice 2024 Thursday, June 20 While I'd be fine with this even being in early May, the Summer Solistic starts June 20th; so that is two major events in closer proximity, unless they plan to run summer even a bit later, as before they ran it earlier because of the larger gap from Anniversary. As @SteveTheCynic said, "Midsummer's Day" is at the beginning of summer not the middle. It would be nice if it was able to start in April, yet the 30th is quickly approaching, so where more likely looking at May 7th or 14th. Would be lovely just to hear a bit more about the event, even if they hold off all announcements for just prior to Launch.

Don't you think that is cutting it a bit too close to the Night Life event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want it to cancel the Night Life event because they waited too long. Ya know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't cancel the Night Life event even if the Spring event winds up being a little late for its first year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, and no I wouldn't want to disrupt the NL event. Of course, nothing stops them having the events overlap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunav Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) I'd much rather BS takes their time and delivers an event that isn't full of bugs, with rewards that also aren't full of bugs. Who cares if it's technically in the spring or summer of this year? Let it come out when it's actually ready, not just when it can functionally make it in the game without breaking too much. The SWTOR team is reportedly about half the size it used to be - all the more reason not to pressure them on timelines for new playable content.

LanceDefender Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 But you know dude no matter how long they will be delaing the patch, it will have more bugs than there are active swtor players. This is the swtor way. And yes, people care about new content to have something to do AND as name suggest SPRING event should be during SPRING not SUMMER. lol I love people who will defend devs and will always find an excuse for such thing. Why not release 7.5 on December? We can wait, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denajii Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I don't see them cancelling the Nightlife event since there would be no reason to unless something with the spring event takes place in the casino area There's no reason they couldn't run at the same time unless it'd somehow be a coding nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strathkin Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Maybe we'll get some news on the May 1st steam they announced in the Launcher Window over the weekend... It's mostly to be about the 7.5 update that's coming, which likely will also include the new Spring Event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
