"Wintry Event" Sales?

Quoted

A white sheet lies over Taborea - the Snowflake Festival is here once again! For this reason, the Phirius Workshop has planned some special offers for this December. Slip into Christmas costumes, decorate your house and join in on this reflective time of year.

So this was announced yesterday.

I'd like to think I know how to navigate the IS..and I haven't seen any new items in the IS other than the Happy Hour yesterday and the Wednesday Special today/ Maybe I'm missing them?

If (and I suspect as much) there's nothing new in there, why was this announced if there's nothing there?

Let me quote a part of your quote:

... the Phirius Workshop has planned some special offers for this December.

Obviously, those items will come, but just not yet.

Right..allow me to be more clear..

For every other sales announcement I can find, it's been: "here's what we're offering, and you can find them in the shop from now (whatever your timezone) until this specified date (whatever your timezone"

For this sales announcement it's: "we're offering stuff at some point in December..k bye"

So I'll ask again:

Why the opacity?

There was no (for example) "hey we're offering halloween stuff at some point in october" announcements BEFORE there were the actual "here's the stuff you can buy now until this date" announcements for any other holiday sale i can find.

I would guess it hits the US later today - the sale started on EU.

Thanks Saito, you are the one GF representative i know will provide a straightforward answer and I honestly appreciate that.

To the other responses, your replies are exactly my hidden point. We get opaque "teaser" info on sales we already know come every year the same time, but we'll NEVER get teaser info like that for new zones, new level caps, etc.

[Some offtopic things removed]

On a side note, i see the new announcement lists certain transformation pots and does not include Donichuka in their list, and then says other transformation pots will be in gashas...if GF put Donichuka in gashas while letting others be purchased singularly, that's an even further step in the wrong direction for the already VERY fail sales team

just in case the stuff that has actual effects:

Transformation Pots
- Giant Guardian
- Jingle Brother
- Rock Guardian
- Gingerbread Man
- Donichuka

15 diamonds with 53 rubies bonus each - for a 5pack.

(and some Pet Transformations for 120d/30r ... Lulu Nunu Pingou to name a few.)

For everyone except Xaldyn ofcourse - he only gets Gashas

Today's Happy Hour is Daily Quest Tickets for 20 diamonds with bonus 10 rubies.

the rest of the winter/christmas sale seems mounts and decorations so far I gathered.

edit: 3 rubies bonus not 5.

Saito likes to troll me on sales posts. He usually reveals what I'm curious about after I gripe about it (ex. my Happy Hour sales that dont appear until after I say my piece on the forums) lol
