As informed in the Summer Soccer Event Dev Diary, unused tactical buffs will be removed from the Star Menu during the deactivation phase.

Any event with two lucky explorers is good in my book. Of course, the more specialists I get, the more I wish they would simplify the process of both sending them and collecting their loot, instead of clicking through everything one at a time.

Agreed. The primary to every focus for me are the specialists. The rest is a bonus (e.g. grout and more grout).

Yes, this has been noted in prior locations throughout; I suspect the author's question (and mine in any case) is this:

What is meant by 'being removed'? (No, not being a wise guy):

• In past events, being removed meant that the event related collectibles were not actually deleted from our inventory, but rather they were filtered out so they were not visible or accessible to us during non-event related times. They would 'reappear' again during similar events (Easter collectibles show back up during Easter Events, etc.). Interestingly, the event related buffs that are generated using these same collectiles continue to show in our star menu, though they are useless during non-event periods.
• Or, are they being permanently deleted from our inventory, never again to be seen or used again in any event, including events of similar quests?

Now that the event is complete, the question really has no import, though clarification would be great. Thank you.

I still have six red cards in my star menu, will these be there for two years?

Hello there!

According to the Dev Diary, the event buffs will be removed with the next game update; the next update is scheduled for next week. I hope this clarifies things for you, but you are welcome to contact me if you have other questions!


Cheers,

I think the question being asked is will the event buffs and other event resources become "invisible" then come back to star menu with the next soccer event as they have historically done in the past. Or, will all soccer event related items disappear forever from star menu and not be seen again, which is a departure from what we're accustomed to. To me this is what's not made clear from any source and not being answered.

Like several people above noted, this is a "circular definition":

A circular definition is one that uses the term(s) being defined as a part of the definition or assumes a prior understanding of the term being defined.

A different word would help clarify what will happen to both the buffs and the event collectibles.

"Removed" = Deleted (Gone forever like the "with no compensation" implies.)

or

"Removed" = Hidden (Invisible until the next event like how it worked in the old days.)

Hi guys!

Due to the confusion regarding this, please take note that tactical buffs will be removed (to remove: to take (something) away from a place, to cause (something) to no longer exist).

Thank you!

Are you saying this after communicating with the development team? Most of us here actually understand English perfectly well.
