Was there an official announcement that that weekend would be a Vault event? If so, you have my sympathies.
Thatâs quite difficult to say. The date was extracted from the early game data, but later removed, also the official in-game offers that weekend solely have been for a vault event. And it was the regular schedule.
Here comes the tricky part. The January vault event was never officially announced, but totally skipped and avoided instead âŚ

Believe me, there are much better reasons to take a vacantion from work, and none of them is to play a stupid game. At the end its just a game that fill you free time, not a second job youâre paid for. You want miss new content just more resources in a game, its not the end of the world, so please take it in proportion for your own healthy

Hey all,
We will be having the Vault Event this weekend on all platforms, including Switch.
We will be moving the Vault event that was originally scheduled for Feb 17th so we donât have 2 Vault event weekends in a row.
The weekend of Feb 17th will become an Arena weekend instead.
That 2nd Vault event will be moved to late Feb/early March (we will post the exact date as soon as itâs 100% confirmed).
The events will be announced per usual in the blog and in game, so everyone has access to the information.
From there the Vault events will be spread out as per their usual schedule which is every 6 weeks UNLESS:
-
A new Kingdom releases - as we have Class Trials, Raid Boss and Bounty events for new Kingdom releases
-
When a Kingdom Pass is running - due to previous issues when Kingdom Pass and Vault events are run at the same time. This issue was fixed but honestly, weâre trying to just avoid that combination of events so we can all not worry about it.
In these cases, it may be longer between Vault Events.

Going through all this trouble just to try and make the event look extra. You could just have had the scheduled event next week with no changes instead of moving it to a spot where we were going to have the next vault event anywaysâŚ

It is extra, weâre going to have 3 Vault events over a period of time where weâd normally only have 2.
I understand the frustration, weâre just out here trying to get you what you asked for regarding the Vault event, and this is the best way we were able to make it happen with all things being taken into account.
Itâs not perfect, but itâs the solution weâve got

Sorry, but there will be a kingdom pass running early march, please leave as it is.

The Kingdom pass needs to be shorter as it is messing with the players favorite event, I find it tiring and thatâs why I quit playing it.

Yeah, this canât be said enough. Cut the kingdom pass AT LEAST in half. No one enjoys an extra half hour per day of grinding, let alone 7 weeks of it. Iâm dreading the start of the next one.

do we have to worry about this with the new kingdom around the corner?..

Please just run the events concurrently, if thatâs true.
Even if it isnât fixed, every player would vote to tolerate a 9x battlecrasher weekend in exchange for a vault event.

Is it possible to NOT delay or move events so shortly in the future? Because of the vault event that was meant to be in January, I was able to rearrange my working schedule and lose lots of money, just to realise the event was cancelled and I got in trouble at work.
When I tried to get the weekend off for the originally scheduled vault event mid February, I was told that itâs not possible to get someone else to work my shift. If I had been able to switch and it would have been changed again, I would have quit this game after 6.5 years.
âLuckyâ for me I have to work both weekends anyway, so Iâll be missing the vault event almost completely as usual, but still be able to buy another campaign/kingdom pass to keep up and regain, what I missed during the infamous Christmas ban âŚ

Great. Because we all love arena so much. 
Kingdom Pass is definitely way too long and too tedious. Itâs not fun. It should be, especially the release of a new kingdom.
But more of something doesnât equal more fun.

According to the roadmap, kingdom passes are, like, a permanent thing.
As I see it, it is just an excuse to delay vaults.

The failure of your team to do something as simple as to add an actual extra vault event is nothing short of expected.

as I posted in some other thread, I wasnât convinced about 17.-19. february vault event and well, it obviously gets delayed. 
- just a bad try of âbackdoor reasoningâ to stretch out and delay time between vault events further and further.
- so, you claim youâve fixed something but youâre not willing to test it?
on 
?
if time between vault events really is a usual schedule of every 6 weeks and you at some point need f.e. 8 weeks, then just be reasonable and run the next vault event 4 weeks laterâŚ
âŚbut given this companies track record weâll get delay after delay after delay.
âweâre incredibly sorryâ.

Starting to feel less extra event and just more âextraâ
According to current schedule and campaign the new kingdom is supposed to start 2/20. I get not doing back to back vaults⌠but⌠here is a simple glance at a calendar and applying what you are saying
2/10 vault event (and per ingame count down a bounty, please move this and do it on the 17th instead of arena, there would be far less complaints I promise)
2/17 was supposed to be a vault but now moved and will be arena
Monday 2/20 appears to be when the next new kingdom will appear (I donât recognize week 4 background in campaign so seems like this may be its debut). So then the next vault would not be able to happen for 5 more weeks which is March 31-April 2. But on a 6 week schedule you are then backed into back to back vault events. And we are right back to square one.
Itâs your game, we just play it, I understand, but any semblance of extra is dwindling when you compare to the schedule in place and per how devs want to avoid kingdom passes and vault events coinciding. And this will be an on going issue juggling players favorite event for a cash grab kingdom passes. Iâm down for supporting the game, donât get me wrong, but we donât want to lose our favorite event to do so

So thereâs always the plausible deniability with the spoilers, etc.
That said, thereâs no chance that an âextraâ vault weekend and a new kingdom release both happening.
The launch of a new kingdom (and the associated revenue itâll surely bring in) would have to be moved several weeks since a vault weekend and 5-week kingdom pass could never overlap. The theoretical earliest time for another vault event would then be early April.
Again, spoilers are âunofficialâ so do with that what you will. If we were talking in terms of rotation, the next vault event would be the theoretical replacement for the missing event in January. There would then be a 2nd one âdueâ for the Krinkle mess. There would then be the 3rd that would have been Februaryâs rotation.
So far we have one. Which conveniently slots in to jump ahead of a future kingdom pass.
Ultimately, I expect the rescheduled January vault event to be the âextraâ, the next one moved to the other side of the next kingdom pass, and more kingdom passes to come which will further stretch out the time between vault events.
And @Tyrion_Shark completely beat me to the punch as I was writing this.

@Kafka I apologize, but based on your response, are you:
- making a huge mistake without realizing,
- making fun with us, or
- taking us as stupid?
It has to be one of the either and I really hope it is the first one.
Here is the last 7 vault events that happened and will (hopefully) happen.
This data is taken from Taranâs World and I believe it is accurate. If you look closely, the event we will have this week happens 10 weeks AFTER the previous event. So, how is the EXTRA? You already confirmed the following:
If you look at the above schedule, then you see that for the first 3 rows, two vault events took 12 and 13 weeks to happen. If you look at the last two rows, because of this weekâs vault event taking 10 weeks compared to the previous one, it is also taking 13 weeks (to get 2 vault events). So, the question stays: HOW IS THIS EXTRA?
Letâs not sugarcoat or try to distract (or even worse trick) your playerbase. If because of the Kingdom Pass (and the dev teamâs inability to verify something that is already fixed) the vault events will be 10 weeks apart going forward, just say it and leave it there. There is no reason to lie about the schedule and there is no reason to (continue) lying about the extra vault event.
I got beaten by two people writing the same thing, which already tells you: no, we are smart and not buying this!
