Contradiction - Announcement still says Jubilee ending tomorrow, but other post says 25th?

Jordan_Black · April 22

If the jubilee event goes until Thursday, I don't need to buy any more confetti to get the mount, and I can use my tickets on other stuff. If it stops tomorrow, as the announcement still says, I need to buy confetti today. The contradiction between the in-game announcement and the post about last Monday's debacle is confusing. If the event is actually now ending on the 25th, why wasn't the announcement changed during maintenance this morning? @ZOS_GinaBruno are we still getting confetti packs Wednesday and Thursday as it says in your post, or should I believe the in-game announcement? Apologies if there were other things I should have been following, but staring at "1D 0H" left of event on my screen right now. Thanks!

Came here to post this exact thing. Why hasn't the event countdown been updated, if the event is extended?

i believe its because they can't change the in game announcements to more time while the event is running due to a system limitation. event ends on the 25th at 10 am EDT.

This is the case.
The little banner on the Character Select screen cannot be changed while an event is live.
Kevin pointed this out during the recent Crafting event when they needed to make a change to the event attributes.

Interesting but okay. "Can't" seems a little hard to believe but "far too difficult to be worth the trouble" I might buy. Confirmation from ZOS would be nice.

Kevin talks about the limitation with the in-game event banner here:

Those in-game event descriptions are made in advance and cannot be changed this late without downtime. It's unfortunately a side effect of having a late change to the event.

Gina informs us of the event extension here:

First, to acknowledge that many of you lost playtime in the middle of an event, we will extend the Anniversary Jubilee event by two days on PC NA and EU to allow you a little extra time to obtain any items or event tickets. This puts the new end date for PC realms on April 25 at 9:59am EDT.

There was downtime this morning, I figured they'd change the message.

Hi all, the in-game timer for the event should be updated for PC players.

When I logged in earlier, just after maintenence it was saying there was less than 1 day remaining. When I logged in again just now it had finally updated to say there's another 2 days left.
