Waiting for spAnser's spoilers...

Constantly checking his site and the app store. Gotta love big events. Last years Christmas event was the biggest event to ever hit the game. Bring on the Holidays!!! :mrgreen:

I anticipate this event the same way I do all events: I check these forums about once an hour to see if it's out.

I don't think it will come today would of heard something by now

Not necessarily - events usually launch between 9-10 am Pacific Time, which is not for another 1 1/2 hours yet. Personally I think any update today would be a small one, maybe a tie-in to the Christmas episode as a lead-in for the event next week. We usually don't start getting hints until just a few minutes before launch.

Don't most episode tie-ins pop up on Thursdays? Big events have always been Tuesdays from my experience.

Usually yeah. Just spit-balling. Seems like it would be easier to do a take-down and launch a mini-event lead-in at once. Regardless, I think the major event is next Tuesday.

If they do a tie in for upcoming episode why not start the Xmas event with it the reason why it started the 10th last year cuz they had a tie in about yellow subtfsrge when we got that truck, this year it's about Xmas and also the other game will start dec 4

Agree. EA isn't even starting a workday yet. Its not even 8AM. I suspect the bosses like to wait for the minions to be at their desk in case initial event release includes some major glitches. This way, it's the minions who bear the brunt of the uproar from players.

Plus it's raining in Redwood City, where they work, and since we've not seen rain in well nigh a decade, some of them are too young to even recall how rain works.

(Rain! Honest to God RAIN! I love rain. I'm doing cartwheels). :)

Geez just be careful out there. I have friends in CA who lost their house to a mudslide a few years back.
