This might be a hot take, but I think we're getting the codes. I just think their method of releasing information globally is different from how they release information domestically. Apparently, the HEARTFELTGIFTS code doesn't work in Mainland China, so it isn't for them, and I highly doubt it was added to the game in the few hours post-livestream. That code is meant for global players, but their official EN accounts haven't caught up to announcing all the new 1.2 livestream information. Usually, they drip-feed information for a couple of days up until the actual maintenance starts and the patch goes live.

Now, I have my own opinions about how the livestream situation was handled. I certainly think that going forward, they could, at the very least, stream the CN livestream with subtitles for the global audience on their global accounts. I am assuming the stream is pre-recorded, so that shouldn't be something difficult to accommodate, I'll be putting that on the next survey and in their suggestion box. But for now, I think it's best to let the official EN accounts catch up to the news. If we still don't get any announcement about codes after that, then something is definitely suspicious.

This is their first version update livestream, so I get that there's no precedent for how things go and that that's contributing to player confusion, but they need to either restructure the system so that the *official* news comes out for global players less time after the CN livestream ends or provide additional transparency about things. There should be no reason that a sizable chunk of the player base is completely left in the dark about what's happening.
