We have beared many thing you have given to us, the perfunctory of the past 2 years,the cancellation of the DLC,stop fixing the bugs,etc.
And this month,you even stop the community event.What’s wrong with you?
Shame on you,WE.

Can you explain? Seems outrageous but maybe I’m out of the loop
Friend,this is true,many of us can’t see this icon from this month：
I really don’t know what they want to do，maybe they have lost their mind.
I see. I launched AoE3 and it’s been a couple minutes and the community event isn’t showing up… usually it shows up after ~10-30 seconds I think. This is odd.
The question would be how the event was set up in the code. I see two logical options:
- It was coded to repeatedly cycle without limit, and no dev time is required. Meaning they devoted dev time to stop it happening.
- It did use some dev time, maybe just to restart the cycle ~once per year or every 6 months or 22 months, and so now we’re seeing the effects of no more support.
I misunderstood your original post and thought maybe WE had intervened to stop a tournament somehow which would have been far more outrageous.
My personal leaning would be towards it having some kind of cutoff in the code that would require intervention to restart, but if someone (who knows more about the game’s code) can confirm that this wasn’t the case and that it required dev time just to stop it then this would seem like the one of the most petty things imaginable.

Friend,I think no matter what the reason is,this problem is appeared.They are the worst of the worst.
The same company that is killing its own gaming division with Service and Hardware price increases, no exclusives, project cancellations, and layoffs all around is doing this
They do not care about gaming, they do not care about Age of Empires, is just business
MS being Ms now and then

Indeed!
Talking about III DE, looking backwards
Why the heck they decided in the first place to give players a Free Trial Version when is limited to only three civilizations for skirmish and multiplayer, Act 1 of the “Blood, Ice, and Steel” campaign, the “Art of War” tutorial challenges, and only 8 hostable maps?
Very limited I must say.
Wouldn’t it have been better to offer the full base game for free, sell the DLCs and rework the onboarding content (Tutorials, Art of War Challenges, Basic and Advanced concepts, Build Orders with all Civilizations, Shipment and Deck system) for new players entry and retention?
You see, all Microsoft and Worlds Edge are plagued of incompetence

Friend,I think they are not only abuse AOE3(although they treat AOE3 very cruel),they have ruined all of the AOE.
For AOE1,they have already abandoned it,and just make it as a part of the AOE2.
For AOE4,the recent 2 DLCs is all about varient.Can you image AOE3 give players a DLC just have revolutions(such as Afghanistan,Chechnya,Serbia or any others you like)and sell over 10＄？
For AOM,I think after the new DLC,they will abandon this game because the poor number of players.
Last but not least,for their first love——AOE2,recent DLCs are all junk,infact chronicle should be a part of AOE1 because of their timeline,but they make them as a part of AOE2.And they made Wei,Shu and Wu as civilizations,I really can’t bear their foolish.

Pour être honnête, je pense que World Edge n’a non plus pas d’amour particulier pour AOE2, ils le pressent comme une orange jusqu’à la moindre goutte avant de le jeter plus tard aussi.

So how to say “fool” in French,I think this word can perfect for them.
There is automated translation feature on the forums
I know that,and I really want to send “fool” in every languages to them.
“fou” is the French word, I express myself in my mother tongue for convenience for me since the forum has a translation function via the globe under my answers to translate into English
Okay,and I think this word “fou” really fit them

All AoE is going downhill
time to shine at least a little light on here
Hi, big AOE3 DE UI modder here
after checking the code for the menus i can safely assure you the code to display the event panel is still in there fully intact, whats probably happening is the event rotation was happening server side thus being operated by WE skeleton crew, my guess is that server side part was shutdown at microsoft, code that’d display the event UI on main menu still exists, here check it yourself

So, what is happening
Why the community event UI is not showing up?
It’s simple. EW didn’t bother to code a reward for this month server-side
Something that would take them ~5 minutes to do, but the studio cares so little about AOE3 that they couldn’t be bothered.
