It doesn’t bother me, but i can see how many that lost loved ones on 9/11 could be offended or uncomfortable with this. Community will decide. ---

A coincidence only. ---

I really hope the devs take notice and change it to something else. To many of us in the States, the loss of the World Trade Center had a traumatizing effect, especially those living in New York. ---

It should be Tower of Doom - the one you have to climb and take forge scrolls, etc. NOT the Invasion towers that needs to be taken down/break. ---

> [@Ant\_Man](#): > > It should be Tower of Doom - the one you have to climb and take forge scrolls, etc. NOT the Invasion towers that needs to be taken down/break. This. And also, it’s clear that nothing in this game is meant in any way to replicate the Twin Towers, or even hint at them. Yes, I’m American, yes I was an adult when the towers went down, yes I vividly remember the trauma. But this is nothing like that. ---

IP2 is from Australia, 505 Games from Italy. No connection to anything that happened 20+ years ago on the other side of the world. No matter how tragic it was. So this should be closed/deleted. ---

Thats insensitive af. Human tragedy is universal. The coincidence, while unfortunate, should be addressed ---

Hi all, This is purely a coincedence. Due to the cadence of the live event schedule, those 2 events happened to land around 9/11. We would never purposely be insensitive about such a tragic event. I’ve raised this with the team to see if we have any wriggle room to consider moving the event schedule around. ---

Give us another gnome event and we’ll call it even. No harm no foul ---

Never insinuated intentional. Coincidence of course. But nonetheless many people have their opinion on this. There have been other world events that caused schedule adjustments. ---

Here is an idea. Do a 1 day vault event on 9/11 then start towers on the 12th. ---

Just here to share the outcome from this feedback: We acknowledge that the naming of our live events as well as the goal of the Invasion event is a little unfortunate when they happen to overlap with historical events. There’s obviously no intentionality there, but as these events do run as a (relatively) set schedule, sometimes they will have dates that have crossover. We have in the past responded to real-world events as they have occurred, but as a general rule, our preference is to keep the schedule fairly stable with regards to historical events.
