Perhaps in some distant future. From what I understand for example, some icons from past AoE2:DE events were unlocked one year per “Women’s Day” celebration, and anyone who logged in during the week would get about 20 icons.
At some point, for example, skins like that of Lao Chen, the drunken sailor from the Chinese campaign, became available in a monthly event as one of the final missions of the event. I assume that he was also released earlier in another event, so there is always hope.
On the other hand, if it is not like that, I do not doubt that at some point you will also release them within the DLC that can be purchased as a cosmetic pack, of course not soon. Only time will tell.
Finally that confirms it: You have to play a few games, make sure you are on the leaderboard, and then wait for the event to be completed in 10 or 20 days. If apparently you don’t log in between the time the 200’00 players are completed and the middle of the month, you don’t have the skin. I guess it’s part of the game’s algorithm, the same one that means that if you don’t log in for 2 weeks, if you log in again you only get 1 new icon, and not 2, because apparently it’s not cumulative.
Well, just to inform you, there is another new hero available, this time Aztec… and they are already at 45363:
Since it came out on Friday, the weekend, I calculate that by Friday of next week we will reach the goal, if not before.
NOTE: They must play a game, appear in the qualifier with experience points, and re-enter when they reach 20,000, that is, at least 2 times a month.
