Why no Chinese new year lights in the store this year?

[Para Handy]

Why are there no Chinese new year lights in the store this year? I was looking forward to getting these (I missed them last year).

 

[thistle]

Genuine answer? Probably an oversight with everything that's going on.

Lunar New Year is tomorrow. Normal store update day is .. tomorrow.

Or they forgot

Tencent won't be happy

Year of the Ox. Gong xi fa tsai.

 

[thistle]

Have to be honest, I wasn't aware they existed last year!

Maybe they are a little delayed as the container ships are sitting outside the docks in quarantine for 10 days?

Wow somehow i completely missed these in the past. Assuming the glow effect isn't bad like the other ones, could add a nice firefly effect for one of the transports.

 

[Lightspeed]

The stock was considered contaminated and had to be returned to China.

A variant with just the lanterns around areas of the cockpit would be kind of neat. Not really a fan of the try soft aesthetic of the string lights, but to each their own.

Cheers.

I would love an unlockable Hutton mug for the dashboard, with perpetually steaming coffee in it (just use the overheat/smoke particle effect.)

 

[Vandaahl]

Real Chinese lights would at least have a couple of duds, those in the OP are all working

I think we should at least wait for the STORE ALERT

crosses fingers for FAS Crossifre or Camo

 

[Factabulous]

Well, the shop updated (no FAS, srry), and no lights. So I guess my 'they forgot' answer was the correct one. And there was me worried it was too salty

They also seem to have forgotten to post the Q&A, which has been remarkably regular....

Not a great way to start the Lunar New Year - seriously missed out on some revenue by not putting these up in the store. How hard is it to flick a switch to enable the listing - it isn't as if they are all working in their garages hammering-out double-engineered missile launchers. Don't any of the cms even bother looking in these fora any more?

Bunch of clowns.

yeah, disappointing. It's not like it's something they can turn on next week when they notice.

Maybe they will spot it this afternoon, after they remember to publish the Q&A ...

Maybe frontier marketing is busy making the next trailer? I think you can subscribe to calendars to get reminded of these things easy enough having said.

Burn them! Burn them all!

Or.. maybe there aren't really that many customers giving a crap about the lunar new year...
