Hello DUSTies, DUSTettes, and those in between. The DUST 514 Community Team has been running events for several months now and we've been monitoring your feedback in threads across the forums, but now we want to collect your thoughts in one location. We want to hear what you've liked about previous events, what you've hated about them, and what you want to see in the future.
Just a few ground rules to start off:
- Please try to be constructive. If you really, really hated, say, the Templar Manhunt we want to know that. But we also want to know WHY.
- Similarly, if you really liked an event, we want to know why as well.
- Shoot for the moon with your suggestions for future events, but be aware that certain things aren't feasible in the short or long term. If you really, really want an event where you get to fight against a 60-meter tall monster you can tell us, but it's probably not going to be something that comes any time soon.
- Conversely, ideas that utilize current game mechanics are the best, because we can do them without asking for extra game development. Of course, if everyone likes an idea that requires development time, it gives us a good case to ask for it.

These are some amazing comments guys. Keep them coming. I can't comment on all of them right yet (working on some other stuff), but I did see recommendations for some stuff we've kicked around and a few ideas we haven't thought of yet which are perfectly doable.
One thing I do want to ask, there were some comments about keeping things simple and using the current event as an example of one that is too complicated.
We want to make things that are interesting and unique, so I think that's why we go with more complicated requirements. Are we overthinking this? Does making complex events fail to make them interesting and just make them... well... complex? Or are we doing complexity in them wrong?

Alrighty guys, I've gone through the thread and let me say that there's a ton of awesome stuff here. Some of it lines up perfectly with what we've been talking about internally. Specifically, the following are all things we agree are needed (though be aware they're not necessarily in the pipeline for development at the moment):
- Automatic in-game tracking of objectives.
- Rewards that are either unique, broadly useable, or selectable from a list of potential rewards.
- Events more along the lines of Caldari Prime which are tied to the lore.
- Events that have unique objectives that are different from "normal" gameplay.
- Events that take place on unique maps or with unique skyboxes.
Here are some other things I've noticed repeated that you guys aren't thrilled with:
- Rewards that are Standard tier or have limited useability, even if they're in large numbers.
- Events that have complicated requirements that are difficult to track without them making events more interesting.
Some things you guys have said that we're working on making happen:
- Getting a chance to kill devs and get some rewards for it.
- More lore-related events.
- Regular double- and triple-SP weekends/weeks.
- Events that give you a chance to try out/preview rare or unique gear.
Finally, some things we'll be looking at specifically because you mentioned them here:
- Officer gear as potential rewards.
- Events that give the opportunity for boosted loot tables.
There's some other stuff that I might have seen that is just not clicking with my brain right now, but myself and Cmdr Wang will continue to look over this and review it more thoroughly for stuff.
