I wasn't expecting much from this Rising event for one reason:

It's the third Rising within ShB patches. If their schedule hadn't been pushed me back by delays, this likely would have been shortly after EW release and had a wind-up [6.0 character that everyone loved] bit instead we're still a few months away.

This event simply wouldn't have been in the roadmap for 5.0 to 6.0 development, but it's the anniversary so can't really be cancelled so we have to make do with what can be thrown together quickly.
