    New Years? Not celebrated at Massive?

    Why was there nothing for New Year at the rewards vendor or appearance vendor? This can't be a huge undergoing to add new weapons skins and clothing to the game. You should be adding new ones every day or at the very least once a week. Now you can't even be bothered for big calendar days? Please give me a reason to keep playing because I can't think of any.

    Complain about something relevant.

    So the reason I'm on the forums today is to complain about a giant troll on here posing a hermaphroditic pedophile. You will know it's him by his quick wit and generic banter. If you see him, proceed with caution. He goes by Merphee.

    There ****head, is that relevant enough for you.

    Yep, I always hope for more from MASSIVE.

    i have been gaming for over 25 years (ZX Spectrum) and this is the first game I have actually cared about. Sad I know.......

    So much potential in this game and the devs dont seem to see it.

    Seems relevant to me because nothing at all indicates the devs dont give a f**k about their own product. I mean even 2-man game companies manage to get something festive into their games so why is Massive failing so massively on this?

    Can't tell if you are actually serious or not. Bar your belief that new ingame art assets should just appear every day or week, if you can't see how irrational it is to treat the lack of seasonal freebies as a deal breaker then you won't be missed...

    You did get a hat though. But that's not enough, right?
    Which is demonstrable proof that you are full of ******** - it's not about the gesture (which Massive has gone out of their ways to get you an appearance item), it's about free value that you didn't get because the mainstream thought process is that you should. Grow up maybe.

    Well, new year's was 3 months ago.....If you're jewish
    If you're muslim it was 3 months ago also.

    The current calendar is computed from the believed date of the christian's savior's circumcision. So 2,017 years after his circumcision. 8 days after his birth, if you believe the december 25 story of course . This calendar was commissioned by Rome. So technically it's a catholic holiday.

    Not gonna get into the several revisions, the insertions of July and August, time lost through the centuries, early acceptance and rejection etc etc....

    Maybe the devs are buddhist.
    I'm none of the above religions but today is not new year's, its the last day of Chanukkah for some people.How come there are no rocket launching menorahs in the game?

    Oh yeah New Year's is January 28............If you're chinese.

    Millennials. Seriously, I was watching the most recent SOTG and my wife pointed it out. She's been the boss where she works for a number of years now and had some interesting things to say about them when I inquired. I don't know if this is true of them all in general, but all the ones she's responsible for won't do anything unless specifically told what to do, how to do it and when it should be done by. They refuse to take any initiative and never do more than what they perceive is expected from them.

    Based on my own experience, I'd wager it's entirely possible to release one or two new weapon skins per week. From the looks of the ones we already have, they aren't exactly difficult to create, but work is still work and why bother if you don't believe you really need to? Now that I think about it, this line of thinking could actually explain a great deal about this game lol. Why do the number of bugs keep increasing while rarely decreasing, for example? Why does there seem to be a rather lackadaisical attitude towards this game in general from the devs, whom for some unfathomable reason seem unable to see and realize its full potential? Hmm, I just might be on to something here!

    PS: This post isn't directed at anyone specific here in these forums (other than Massive perhaps), nor was it meant to antagonize. Sorry in advance if I hurt anyone's feelings. It's just my own postulation and supposition, which could very well be way off the mark. Its not as if my own generation has a spotless record either lol. We're all only human after all.

    Erm...do you really think those 2 hats were not made in tandem with the Red and Green Purchasable Christmas outfits ? ( And also as an extra reason and incentive(if you were on the fence of purchasing a $7 eyesore) to buy the outfits so you would have a matching set....

    If you truly believe massive raced down to the office at 3 in the morning to hand knit the green and red hat with the white graphic on them.....well I have a bridge and a half for sale.....
