::::Yeah, some of them seem self-explanatory. For example, the Halloween Event (2013) obviously consisted of the Halloween-themed Heartless and made available all the Halloween-themed clothes (all of which are displayed on that same page, or the [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] page. But other events, such as White Day, are far less self-explanatory (what could White Day even mean?). Again, I would recommend asking Shard about the exact details. In the meantime, if you guys don't mind, I will try and write up a draft. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}21:26, 26 March 2014 (UTC) | ::::Yeah, some of them seem self-explanatory.

Anyway the problem with these events now is there is practially no break between them. In the beginning these were the times were you could earn special rewards (cards, clothing, items) in the game but now this is happening on a regular basis and even worse these "events" are not really named anymore.<br> | ||
The first real events, the "crystals of light", was introduced with a cutscene and a new raid boss (who now appears on regular basis) and special tokens you could trade for prices (the eponymous "crystals of light") after that the "Guard Armor Event" didn't had a cutscene but also special tokens and a new raid boss (who now also appears on regular basis). Since then the events were always special mission where season themed heartless had to be defeated but not always and that's were it becomes really complicated. For example the Wizard, the Armored Knight, the Armored Archer and recently the Gargoyle and the Morning Star are all Heartless that were introduced in the game with special missions and limited rewards but are not really tied to an event (it's often simply called "New Heartless appearance") while some of these became regular enemies in the game and other disappeared again.<br> | The first real events, the "crystals of light", was introduced with a cutscene and a new raid boss (who now appears on regular basis) and special tokens you could trade for prices (the eponymous "crystals of light") after that the "Guard Armor Event" didn't had a cutscene but also special tokens and a new raid boss (who now also appears on regular basis).

On top of that the number of side activities for these "events" exploded. In the first events there was often only one special condition to get a rare card. Nowadays there are rewards for the heartless missions, raid boss missions, special damage missions, team damage missions, team wins per week etc. which are also often timed.<br> | On top of that the number of side activities for these "events" exploded.

As you can see it gets more and more complicated and with SquareEnix also selling special cards and clothing even another option to earn unique rewards was added. It's not clear where an event ends and where it starts and what an event really is in the first place. That's why I stopped working on it, because it became too complex for a single category when several things happen all the time (like the changing raise ticket cards, mog trade cards, raid bosses and the kingdom, premium and gift boxes that can be bought in the shop) while the missions occur on a regular basis even without new Heartless or Raid Bosses. It's probably easier to list only the seasonal stuff but that wouldn't include all special cards and clothing that can be earned apart from the regular options.}} | As you can see it gets more and more complicated and with SquareEnix also selling special cards and clothing even another option to earn unique rewards was added.

:::::I was noticing that. I tried to get info of the missions when I was writing up the draft in my Gadget Lab, and I noticed that the Valentine's Day Event, for example, is not the same week after week. As far as I could tell (thanks to the marvel that is Google Chrome's auto-translate), the missions are different every week and, apparently, for every level of experience. I couldn't begin to imagine where to begin with that info. And to top it off, because I'm basing myself on the game's site, the mission info is also mixed-in among the many other announcements on the page. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}17:29, 27 March 2014 (UTC) | :::::I was noticing that.

::::::The level of experience is more like a suggestion, you can always tackle all missions regardless of your deck and stats but you probably won't be able to (at least if you don't want to spend hundreds of potions or ethers). The [http://wikiwiki.jp/khx KINGDOM HEARTS χ capture Wiki ] distinguishes between campaigns, events and limited missions but it's only list after list.<br> | |||
::::::The other thing is that this information is almost useless by now because KHX is an online game and things have changed greatly since it started and probably won't be repeated, at least not in the same way. Instead we would need some sort of general page or section on the KHX page about these ongoing changes. {{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:16, 27 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
