I believe it goes without saying that today's uprising event was not even heard of by most until it was already underway or concluded. There was no planning, there was no announcement, there was no time posted or ping given.

There was a single ping in the rebel intranet with a vague message, and of course not every player has access to the intranet. It doesn’t matter who you are; this uprising event seemed very gatekept and poorly executed. Was it fun for those who attended? It seems like it was from what I’ve read, but what about those who had no clue it was happening? V2 is ending, and I’m sure a lot of players would have enjoyed at least trying to get on and getting in their fill for this main finale; however, there was no warning or announcement as I’ve already said. Just a single vague ping in the intranet, gatekeeping this event to whoever was on by chance or rebel group leaders and very established rebels.

I don’t mean to bring a sword to those who lead it, I just see it as in poor taste.
 
As one of the people who did get to do it. It was a fun event, and I agree. Apparently, it was setup so that the players had to start it, not even Robert or Rad knew it was going to happen today. But I agree 100% more warning should have been given.

I will also say that this is just the first in an event line, and from what I've bene told future events will have sign-ups and be announced before hand.
 
It's more than a little annoying when even basic concepts such as *announcing the uprising event* to your player base doesn't happen. This should have had advanced warning, let alone any warning AT ALL. This was an extremely basic oversight.

I get it, V2 is basically viewed as a terminally ill entity, just being seen off. It's pretty much what it is. But, for all its problems, it would be nice to be able to see it off with the characters we've spent alot of our time on.
