1. Microsoft requires a QnA for EVERY update that WildCard puts through, so, no. We will not be getting the Event, but that is just fine. If you want everything PC is gonna have, you're in for a bad time. The Xbox could more than likely handle it, but this would be a pointless update for us, since the servers are barely hanging on as they are. So, piling on more stuff and a 100 vs 100 server would just cause ALOT more problems than it's worth.
2. SOTF has not been canceled. Only Delayed since they had to put it back with the base game. So, now, SOTF will be released with ARK in the holiday season, more than likely.
