Very confused here .... Glad the new content is finally coming and we have a date for it ...... BUT
Real World Cup starts on 14th June so normally football event would already be running (based on previous football events.. and christmas, easter, halloween events all start before Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, Halloween) but no dev diary for this yet?
So either football event is going to start later than the real world cup?
OR we are also going to get a major Game update in the middle of an in game event?
I can't see the latter being particularly popular as most of the MCC campaign is aimed at player levels the vast majority of players have yet to reach and the downtime will affect people with timings of explorers searching for footballs etc Whilst downtime is to be expected to do so potentially in the middle of an event that does affectthe vast majority of players would seem like ... a deliberate attempt to drive players away or a colossal mistake?
Add to that the inevitable downtime as "last minute bugs" in the new content are discovered also possibly during the football event? OR to expect that there won't be downtime each day following the update for a number of days as those pesky bugs are discovered is poor planning? Equally if MCC and football event start together .. thats a lot that can (and is likely to go wrong .. we all know it always does with big updates) and again lead to player frustrations over downtime in event as those grmelins are removed from the game.
Surely it would simply have been better to wait with this new content a few more weeks and push it live once the football event is over?
Of course all the above assumes the football event itself is going to coincide at some point with the real life world cup dates 14th June - 15th July which may of course be entirely wrong
Here's hoping all goes well!
