I think this is the appropriate time to ask, to get ahead of any last minute forum replies for our in game news.
It doesn't seem at all coincidental that Summer Mayhem was cancelled this year last minute. It was stated in 2021 to be the first subject of the new Mayhem revamping, which we then saw play out in Halloween and Easter following. We all know that Easter mayhem was exploited by avatars by accepting a mission for a second time, allowing them to gather thousands more tokens (more than any mini mayhem event can provide) than others - if they happened to enter the instance at the right time and circumstances (for all we know, this could have been more easily and thoroughly exploited).
Pretty big coincidence to state this mayhem event was cancelled in 2021 to be revamped, was one of the more complex and enjoyable mayhems and was cancelled only after we saw obvious exploitation of the new mayhem system. Obviously the easiest route to ensure that this wouldn't happen was to cancel the event which relied on any code to provide a mission or reward and instead, have a direct loot event.
Knowing this is likely the entire scenario, I feel it's the appropriate time to ask - what about other mayhems? Will we see a Halloween mayhem, Merry Mayhem only being FFA?, etc.
I know as a player, I can't expect to get these answers, but there is a difference between mystery and shady behavior. Mystery would be an accouncement that something was brewing in space, wolchev has harnessed the power the mayhem transmogformer, anything of a month prior to a mini-mayhem. Instead we saw, day 1 - a question from a player about mayhem, day 2 - a reply from Ludwig stating it was cancelled, day - 3, 'Oh we totally planned for mini-mayhem', unrelated to day 1 and day 2 occurances.
So, if we could get some input on Halloween, Merry and Easter mayhems moving forward - that would be great.
Thanks
