September Brilliant events?

Looks like the September Brilliant events are starting late. We have had new events every other week, but none this week?
Everyone is in dire need of Restricted Section Books (especially those that could not make the Indianapolis event for all those free books). When will the September events start?

There is community day on the 21st, not sure what rewards that will bring yet.
But no news on the next brilliant event, there was a bit of a break between the flora & fauna event to the Potters Calamity so after dragons just being on Saturday there will probably be a bit of a break now until the next Brilliant event & focus may just be on community day for now?
Ps- i feel ya' on those restricted section books!! And my red books too both in dire need to finish my auror tree!
I'm not so sure Brilliant events are meant to be on a consistent monthly basis like community days. I see these as special events that will come and go infrequently.
So clueless here, as I started HPWU in early August, have community days been once a month so far?
Brilliant events have been every two weeks since July and next one would be due today. I really need those green books. I hope it is not too delayed because we have had a lot of special events lately.
We just had DRAGONS!!! Goodness. I'm quite happy we're having a wee break before the next event.
Also, @BenTiger , when you say the fan fest attendees got "free" books, I think the attendees would have to disagree. Most of them had to pay airfare, hotel, meals, transportation, etc, on top of the ticket to attend the event. That's far from free, and I wouldn't pay that kind of money just for books. We've already discussed the RSB's, so I'm not going into that again.
@Bormacska There was a community day in July and August. But given the game started late June, I don't know that two months makes a trend. Maybe Niantic always does one once a month in it's other games, but I don't play them, so I can't say on that.
Jibs entertainment reported on Twitter that it looks like there won’t be any Brilliant Events in September. So...let’s hold off and see what else the game has in store. I’m patiently waiting like everyone else.
Personally, I'm thankful for a break on Brilliant events. Having those Brilliant Foundables clutter my map for an entire week when I'm typically able to fulfill any Foundable related tasks on the first day of a Brilliant event is annoying.
Of course, these are just my own feelings, which aren't any more or less correct than yours. I get why other people would want those events to keep coming as frequently as they have thus far.
Personally, I'll use this gap between Brilliant events to focus on spell books and achievements.
As much as I’d like as many scrolls as I can fit in my beaded handbag, after the brilliant sorting hat, every time I have to Flipendo, I’m like, oh no not flipendo!
Start the event already!
My guess was that they started brilliant events only for special occasions. I am not completely sure about flora and fauna event, but potter’s calamity was before and around july 31 for Harry’s borthday and back to Hogwarts was just before September 1. So, I thought we would have a brilliant event only next month for Halloween!!
but i do agree that i cant wait for 1 to begin so that we can earn RSB’s.
I need to build potion inventory back up after the last event. I'm ok if it's not until Halloween.
i am ten restricted books from my last auror restricted books skill...
we will have another
Ooh, a Halloween event would be awesome. I love the events so I don’t mind if we get one soon or if we have to wait, since we just had the dragon day event and we also have a community day coming up.
@Dogoutlaw and @Acumen already spoke my mind, basically. But yeah I think the game tried giving us a lot for the game launch, but now it will probably dial back a bit. I think a lot of us saw that coming and it definitely makes more sense.
Dragon day was absolutely awesome, we had a ton of fun with it, and sometimes having single day events is just so much better. I also don't wanna have to do something every single weekend, because sometimes I have something else I wanna do and I feel bad that I'm missing game events.
I think we're on our way to some more balance. BUT... that being said. I really hope October ends up being absolutely fantastic for Halloween month xD
How are you 10 books away? If my calculations are correct, there are like 115 books required for all the rsb options. We've only been given 75.
For auror that is...
@MarcWraithe The WUFF attendees received 30 RSBs
Wow, really? That's awesome. I bet they got extra red books as well? I am way short on red books. Thanks for explaining.
I play HPWU and Pokémon Go. So far, the two games are alternating events. We just finished 3 or 4 weeks of "event" stuff in PoGo (including a new generation launch), so hopefully there will be a Brilliant event soon!
