M3DIC 2U Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 107	Posted - 2013.12.31 17:02:00 - [151] - Quote Echoing similar voices of increasing the tie-ins to EVE and making perhaps an event that would change the face of things there in a big way, perhaps a battle for a new stargate/bridge jump with contracts from the larger corporations or a way to infiltrate a long held stronghold planet through continued contracts. Heck even just a large faction battle over several planets with a reduction in reinforcements, equipment as one side begins to take over unless EVE pilots backfill to support. Would give them a reason to make supply runs and look to Dusters for a true outcome. Could make it a set number of battles that once all completed it is compiled and a video launched showing the winning faction marching in/across the victory field. Just something where a cinematic comes from the results I think would be cool because one can be created as the lead in then the final result shown based upon what occurred, similar to the old Choose your own Adventure books of old. Or could make an isolated planet that has gone into civil war and now both sides are using mercs to maintain control or seize power. Planet could then be offered into the EVE world alliance as neutral or side with a faction based upon initial allegiance/support. Would be interesting to see a vehicle only event with large open fields and a generic tank/whatever given to the combatants to give folks that have never run vehicles a true taste of them for free and maybe encourage different uses beyond the ancient death-wagon LAV, Derpship drop off, Tank-stomp utilization.

DriVine OcUstace V The Spartan Training corp 0	Posted - 2014.01.06 02:01:00 - [153] - Quote Hello Dust 514 this is my first post ever so..... Ya anyway I really think that you guys are doing a really good job on keeping up with the times and events. I just thought you might want to her that from someone. So like my previous comments keep up the good work & going in the direction you are headed I feel that it is going to a pretty nice path. But what I am trying to say is, I agree with other players in saying that it would be nice to play on a level such as a space station (for example), but wile keeping the original themes and aspects of the game. Not to make any serious changes that will change the way the game is now. (Also 2 new or so maps couldn't heart). One for each mode? The mode that really motivated me was when Dust514 held an event that you can be awarded, depending on witch faction you fought for you got a specific weapon based on a certain number kills you got up to like.... the Amarr, Caldari, ext. you get 100 kills and had a 50% win rate & no less. You got like 50 copies of a Blood grail scrambler riffle. That was my favorite event thus far more events like that would be good. Where your awarded copies of a weapon you really like or your favorite weapon. Going to the moon doesn't look bad Ether (There has to be a meaning to it). Thank you!
Big Swool 0	Posted - 2014.01.07 15:27:00 - [154] - Quote I'd like to have battle option where no one can call in vehicles a Ambush or whatever, just a thought. Bullsh*t
NoxMort3m D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 209	Posted - 2014.01.09 02:56:00 - [155] - Quote ISK event!!! Director: Diplomat
Dysnomia Pandora Third Rock From The Sun INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 24	Posted - 2014.01.12 02:17:00 - [156] - Quote All these events where fcking useless withouth better gameplay, factionwarfare is useles. You fail atm ccp we all know it.
Terry Webber Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 397	Posted - 2014.01.20 05:16:00 - [157] - Quote How about an event where an NPC corporation organizes a vehicle racing competition?
NINEinch WEAPON The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 0	Posted - 2014.01.25 20:35:00 - [158] - Quote maybe a map at the top of a space elevator, with a ship from eve docked up..
NINEinch WEAPON The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 0	Posted - 2014.01.25 20:44:00 - [159] - Quote and a bit of feedback on the previous shinobi event. I thought it was a bit one sided. as a scout at the moment (looking forward to the update but) however if I had been shot as a scout in the game that would mean the opposing player got an isk payout. I utilize the sidearm slot for the submachine gun..as a scout needs to have a little reach for back peddallers.. not two close range weapons equipped..ie shotgun,knives.. would it have not been better to only get the payout from killing the scout with nova knives... "winning" an inch at a time
RemingtonBeaver Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 64	Posted - 2014.01.26 05:49:00 - [160] - Quote I was so pleased with Operation Shinobi. I think giving some other classes a shot at the same style event is in order. My proposal. Operation: Lock and Key An event for Heavies and Logis. Wherein the Heavies get rewarded for kills with HMGs and Forgeguns and Logis get rewarded for Gaurdian points from those kills. Heavy reward per kill : proto suit; proto forge or proto HMG Logi reward per gaurdian score : proto rep tool, proto rep hives ( a lower reward but a good one none the less) Have an ISK based reward for killing a Logi with a rep tool (tier based again) militia 1000 ISK, adv 3000 ISK, proto 5000 ISK Heavy with an HMG or Forgegun : militia 2000 ISK, adv 6000 ISK, proto 10000 ISK Also on a side note: In free to play titles with micro transactions could we please get some customization options for cheap. Just color meshes for weapons, armor and vehicles. Charge $1-$3 apiece and you'd make a fortune. I know I'd buy some just to make my dropship feel more like MY dropship. My birthday is in 4 days. How about CCP? Grant my birthday wish! For you to make money and me to get an Orca paintjob on my Incubus. We can pickle that.

The-Errorist 495	Posted - 2014.01.30 22:33:00 - [161] - Quote The 5X SP per WP event with a triple cap was very nice.
Charlotte O'Dell Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 1805	Posted - 2014.01.31 00:44:00 - [162] - Quote How about a tank hunting event. Every tank kill using AV grenades, forges, swarms, or PC, nets you 100,000 ISK for one week. Charlotte O'Dell is the highest level unicorn!
Ralden Caster Omega Elite Mercs INC. 28	Posted - 2014.01.31 05:02:00 - [163] - Quote How about an LAV-based event? For every 5 kills with an LAV TURRET , you gain 10,000 ISK and a special variant LAV. There would be no cap to how much ISK and LAVs can be earned to reinforce the use of LAV turrets, which have seen a decline in use. Minmatar Dropship. Uprising 1.7.
KalOfTheRathi Nec Tributis 940	Posted - 2014.02.01 12:00:00 - [164] - Quote The last 3x(5x) SP/WP event worked well. It does make the next week drag on though, after making decent SP the grind is little more irritating. And capping out multiple characters during that event was a bit much. Makes me rethink having more than one. The prizes, so far, are mostly useless. The Amarr fit is the first one that is useable for my alts but it is very situational and I have not actually used it thus far. My heavy has better gear and my non-heavies don't get into those situations very often. The reduction of Supply Depots means the normal solution is to play it until you die so why bother. Use a free suit that is replaceable or one that you are skilled into so there are some benefits to using it. Tradition dictates that CCP/Shanghai produce rewards that duplicate other rewards that weren't used either so we are right on track. I mean, the Aspyr AR? Seriously what in the world made anyone think that is anything beside cluttering up the inventory. All of this will be moot when we have a player market, NOT EVEN ON THE HORIZON NOW(tm), but who would buy most of these? Gallentie Scout suits will be good with the new ganking of everything else. But, we cannot sell them. And so it goes.
Dravok Silverblood Tight Crew 0	Posted - 2014.02.07 16:15:00 - [165] - Quote I liked the scout event. but don't have nova knifes wish i was given a cheap crap suite to use. i don't have the the skill and wasn't going to waste sp to get them. i liked the black eagle suite because it taught me a lot about a game play style i don't use. allowed me to see if i wanted to spec into scout and there advantages / disadvantages so i can avoid scouts killing me better. Suggestion: I would like to watch other teams PC matches from a war barge like map and bet on winners or KDR or other gambling events. it would be like alliance tournament every day for dust.
X7 lion Swamp Tempo Canis Eliminatus Operatives 104	Posted - 2014.02.08 11:41:00 - [166] - Quote story events that have a impact on one or all of the factions in some small way. I am death incarnate, you will not see me or hear me. You shall only feel the strike of my blade.
Jacques Cayton II Providence Guard Templis CALSF 585	Posted - 2014.02.08 14:29:00 - [167] - Quote We need more events that tie into eve. If pve was out drones and sansha's nation would be good ways to accomplish this. But with the empires waging war their are possibilities here that can be used for events. Also instead if giving us a specific weapon or suit let us pick the weapon or suit we would get. That would make people happy als. We fight for the future of the State not our personal goals
abarkrishna WarRavens 291	Posted - 2014.02.09 13:01:00 - [168] - Quote Increased Isk payouts would be an awesome idea for an event. It would help all the broke players a bunch. It will help them save up for proto gear and stuff. No you kill this blueberry hacking the CRU we are camping. I already killed the last 2. When will they learn!
The-Errorist 505	Posted - 2014.02.12 23:47:00 - [169] - Quote Another event like the Battle for Caldari Prime to the 1.8 expansion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS4rAYrRHWc
Thrydwulf Khodan DUST University 50	Posted - 2014.02.19 22:06:00 - [170] - Quote Quote: Meta Level 1 & 2 Events "Production Stocks of Meta Level 1 and 2 weapons and gear is overflowing! Someone put in way too many orders and then failed to collect. The storage costs are killing us, so we're going to give you a bonus!" Rules: Use only Meta Level 1 and 2 Weapons/Equipment/Dropsuits etc. in a match. Reward: Double SP and ISK when using ONLY meta levels 1 & 2 weapons and gear in a match. Quote: Fitting Cost Limit Matches "The corp you're fighting for underbid the costs, so you're going to have to cut costs to win this battle!" Rules: Maximum Suit cost of 15K, Maximum Vehicle Cost of 80K No Meta Limits Reward: SP Bonus Quote: We got the last LAV! No Tanks to you! "LAV and HAV Fittings are unavailable due to dust clouds that are choking LDV engines. You're going to have to win this one on foot soldier! We'll give you a bonus for having to run the distance on this one!" Rules: No HAV and LAV fits available in this match Reward: Bonus SP / ISK

Rahmel Tedder Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 1	Posted - 2014.02.22 09:48:00 - [171] - Quote Hey ccp To be honest i was wondering like why dont we have our own stats. example would be how many headshots overall, favorite primary and secondary kills nova knife kills an Etc because if we go to show info on character it should be more excited thanks 4 reading it if yu did
Thrydwulf Khodan DUST University 64	Posted - 2014.02.24 18:58:00 - [172] - Quote Use the 'Special Contracts' section for Weekend Events. Faction X push in Sector Y needs you! - 'Focused Faction Warfare based on what is happening in Eve this week.' 'Underbid Contracts' (i.e. Cheap Fits Contracts) Hazard Planet Contracts - (e.g. No vehicular support a available, limited visibility.) Battle School Training - 'There is a whole new batch of recruits coming in that need to get up to speed fast!" (Meta Level 1 equipment only, no vehicles) (Perhaps some type of limitation on reward payout for participants over a specific # of total warpoints? Or they get an 'Instructors stipend'?) Advanced Battle School Training - Meta Level 1 and 2 items only. Meta 1 & 2 vehicles and vehicle modules permitted. (Perhaps some type of limitation on reward payout for participants over a specific # of total warpoints? Or they get an 'Instructors stipend'?)
Aerius Corius FACTION WARFARE ARMY FACTION WARFARE ALLIANCE 8	Posted - 2014.02.25 01:59:00 - [173] - Quote Events that spotlight suit variations is kind of cool I suppose (the January event was cool) but they don't always helps out much for a lot of players. To use January as an example: if you don't use those weapons and styles, say you're a heavy user, then you were kind of out of luck because a heavy wasn't going to track down a sniper or a scout...since they kind of interact in their own little world. That strands mr. heavy in a starter sniper suit if he wants any of that bonus sp. Counter to that, February's event with heavies is a huge success - if you're a heavy user, you're REALLY happy - but if you aren't (I'm usually a sniper myself and skilled as such) you can still get that sp because heavies are easy to find, generally necessary for any team, and so readily available to make the event meaningful regardless of playstyle. Ideas for events... Headshot Event -Modify killboard to show headshots with top 3 headshot counts in a match getting BIG bonus sp or isk (or both). -Any headshot rewards bonus sp/isk/both like most events aimed at suit types. -Overall leaderboard of the top 25 "Headhunters" in New Eden. Should you choose to incorporate any kind of achievement/title system down the line for bragging rights, this event is a prime way to fuel involvement. Dueling Dropships -Remove cap on how many dropships can be deployed (HAVs and LAVs limited still) and reward bonuses for dropship kills via dropship guns. (A team of 5 vs 5 dropships (Pilot/x2 Gunners) and one lone guy to take points or shoot 'em down...would be hilarious). -Great potential isk sink - or you could even lower the costs of dropships just for the event. -This idea could be repeated for LAVs and HAVs too. "Tank Wars" and "Jeep Jumping"...hehe Nullified Null Cannons -Null Cannons have been infected with a unique virus that has broken their timers! Null cannons will only stay captured for five minutes, then become neutral again. -Mechanics otherwise stay the same - but remember: neutral null installations are captured instantly as opposed to 'retaking' per normal, making point defense paramount! Grenade Glory -Bonuses for grenade kills - now all the idiots that throw a grenade rather than shoot will be vindicated! Red Zone Reaping -Red Zone Timer drastically reduced to 5 seconds. (This might not be a bad permanent change...anyways...) -Kills from the red zone are bonused - but shoot quick! -Kills into the red zone are bonused also. Equipment Earnings -Equipment is twice as effective and rewards double -Equipment destruction increased to 50 points value -Great opportunity to show off new equipment types when developed Just some random ideas for events that don't require much in the way of development changes. Really the main focus of events should be the following: 1) Bring heightened awareness of DUST 514 to old players (via newsletter) no longer playing and potential new players via PSN announcements. Dunno if you can get PSN announcements, would be hella great though. 2) Bring heightened awareness to other gameplay styles in DUST and encourage players to at least sample new concepts. 3) Provide a unique experience on DUST that makes you really want to hop on TO HAVE FUN...not just grind out more sp and isk. DO we like those rewards? Yes, of course. But a FUN event makes us stay active. -Look at Star Trek Online. Players HATE when a new event comes out that only incentives more grinding. It's ok to have just a FUN event that doesn't reward a lot...the dueling dropships is a prime example, it'd just be hilarious but only feasible through the event's structure of reward for all that isk lost or a lowered price to enable more players to fly. That guy you killed with 0% shields? Yeah, I sniped him - go team. Oh, you didn't know...hmm. *CCP: Display Assists!!!
Calanorn Blamed Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 8	Posted - 2014.02.27 04:37:00 - [174] - Quote It is time, decidedly time, to integrate the two games more. I want events that do this. If this involves new eve pilots and high sec fleets, so much the better. It is also time to label which districts are controlled by which high sec corp. How about an event where 2 or more high sec corps are trying to capture planetary districts. Maybe the serpantis need rare plants for drugs that can only be found on the surface, but the quafe company needs the planet too due to the strange things it makes fizzy drinks with... High sec fleets, transport, dust merc contracts, many things are possible. At some point we really need war barges. We need generals directing battles, we need battles to be bigger with more mercs per battle. We need NPC guards, transfer of consciousness (the clone express!) battles with standard fits bought by corps, maps set in asteroid colonies and pirate bases, maybe even drone hives. Maybe it's time to allow dust mercs to move their equipment to systems where events are occurring so that it may be loaded on the war barge. Whatever the event is, I want something that captures the interest of eve pilots and dust mercs alike. It's time to integrate (at least a little).
jaksol returns DETHDEALERS Galactic Skyfleet Empire 0	Posted - 2014.03.01 21:35:00 - [175] - Quote I was thinking of a proto hunting even to allow use get bonuses for killing off the proto stoppers
Mahal Daj Mahal Tactical Enterprises 37	Posted - 2014.03.04 21:16:00 - [176] - Quote How about an event where everyone in the squad who is wearing the same exact suit (weapon,fit, modules) gets a bonus such that the payout is modified by the number of additional users: 2 users with the same fit: 50WP * 1.2 = 60WP (72 within squad order) 6 users with the same fit: 50WP * 1.6 = 80WP (96 within squad order) keep in mind that these numbers would be further modified by squad orders! *further... you could just have an event where the squad order WP bonus is doubled to promote coordinated play! Boost your squad's points by 40%, learn to use the Squad Wheel! I provide training: 1M isk: 90 Minutes of Basic Command
Emo Skellington The Neutral Zone 14	Posted - 2014.03.05 18:43:00 - [177] - Quote I really want to have a fight on an EVE ship. -This would be so awesome to be able to fight on a ship where no orbital support is and having an interactive battlefield like Battlefeild. I can really see CCP do this where in a ship there are interactive stuff like closing gates behind and having an alert button in like the command room to notify the entire ship the enemy is here just for fun The interactive battlefield seems to be nice but it was only a thought. -But I really want to fight in EVE ships. I do play EVE so I know there are ships that are big enough for battles
PLAYSTTION GamersForChrist 66	Posted - 2014.03.08 20:15:00 - [178] - Quote I LOVED the Caldari Prime event because their was new graphics awesome skylines and animations and i felt like i was a part of something. I know it was because of a larger conflict in eve but just make something up i don't care i like that kind of event. And make sure theirs lots of free suits and maybe BPOs -Open Beta Vet-14.5 mil sp- Laser+Flaylock Dust 514 recruitment link here
deepfried salad gilliam Sanguine Knights 484	Posted - 2014.03.11 04:48:00 - [179] - Quote i think it would be awesome if every month we had an event giving double wp to kills made by last months least used heavy light and side arm weapons i think it would certainly spice up the game play and promote alternative play style. and if a weapon stays in the event too long well then you just know it sucks the same can be done for equipment or modules or suits and it doesn't have to be double wp it can be any multiplier edit and possibly give out special versions of the items used in the event edit2 i have a feeling this would lead to some plc and flaylock events:P Proud Christian Free stuff for the next account you make:)
deepfried salad gilliam Sanguine Knights 498	Posted - 2014.03.13 03:42:00 - [180] - Quote i like events that give out specialty suits and bonus copies of that suit for doing well in the event I want this to be one of those event suits but 1. cant be modified at all. this includes no changing weapons equipment or modules 2. the flaylocks in that suit get a clip of 9 each 3.ignore the fact that the cpu/pg is way to much 4. make it have militia requirements. id like to see a suit like this used in an Ammar vs. Mimnatar event. the Ammar should also get a completely goofy uneditable suit as well an event good enough to rival the caldari prime one and maybe make it effect eve, like the winner of this event gets a new ship made or something. that way fw can get some good orbital action module poll stuff for alts
