Honor of Kings S31 Season Suddenly Delayed, Players Joke: Compensation Isn't Enough, Give Us Crystals

The Honor of Kings community was caught off guard recently when the developer announced that the S31 'Eastern Guest' season, originally scheduled for April 13th, would be postponed to next week. The official reason cited was 'blocking issues' discovered during testing, accompanied by a compensation package of rank-protection cards and skin fragments.

Players were largely unimpressed by the compensation, with some quipping, 'Just give us a Glorious Crystal (the rarest in-game currency), and you can delay it until National Day!' Beyond the jokes, veterans argue that since the game famously didn't delay for massive game-breaking iOS crashes in the past, a 'technical bug' is an unlikely culprit. Many point fingers at a conflict with a licensed collab release instead.

The sudden delay has left players with mixed feelings—some are relieved to have more time to rank up, while professional boosters and streamers are reportedly 'numb' from the last-minute change. Meanwhile, observers are keeping an eye on market trends, with some joking that if there are no new skin releases this weekend, other big titles (like Genshin Impact) might break revenue records.
