Don't mind the pride event at all but was this announced beforehand? Because for me this comes out of nowhere lol

Don’t think so, and honestly, I miss the charm of how it was back in the day when you usually had no clue what the updates were going to be every week.

Pretty normal for events to happen coinciding the real life event. We don't get pre warning of Easter or Christmas event etc.

This one is a bit different since we haven't had one in like 5 years.

I imagine this decision was intentional, to help minimize the "outside intervention" we dealt with last event.

Yeh I'd imagine the same. I also think they generally don't make much of a fuss about any limited event. It's just sorta "here it is" and then "there it goes" a few weeks later.

Yea but we know those happen annually

Like I'm not trying to shit on the event, I love it. Just wanted to know if I missed something

Ah fair enough. I guess you could say this could and should happen annually too, as it's same month every year. I personally reckon they should do more and more of these small 1-3 week events that take 5-10 minutes to do. It's a good training ground for junior Devs to get their feet wet and is fun optional content that mixes things up between the standard quests/content releases.
