Is there an active counter of some sort for this event? I don't recall participating in last year's stuff, but I believe the year before that I remember a calendar that worked like a counter to tell you, that you did the daily objective for the event.
Nevermind, I see the event tab. But it does seem like it's cutting it close where only 1 day can be missed, miss more than one and you're SOL on as many as 35 crates.
