[2021] Double shards event - when or if it will occure at all?

Won’t be this year, but it’s on the list of things we want to fix up further. The double shards buff doesn’t really work properly with the way we currently have events set up, so we can’t use it until we either change the functionality of that buff or create a new one.

We were planning to launch AoC’s seasonal event (Misplaced Gift) earlier this week but ran into some issues with the build we were working on to fix a couple small things. After today’s mini patch we should be able to at least get that going.

Misplaced Gifts should be available now after today’s downtime. Hopefully in the future we’ll be able to bring back some of the more crunchy bonuses like for shards.

I don’t think it did, no; at least not recently. We turned it on, yes, but it turned out to not actually do anything anymore with the way the systems were set up. In any case, it’s something I’ve brought up a few times and hope to have a proper solution for a future event. For now, I’m sorry for any disappointment or unmet expectations caused for this winter’s event.

That should have been fixed with today’s patch. Are you still not able to use the misplaced gift?
