i liked the event and thought the rewards were decent.
If i didn't already like the game and login daily, this wouldnt have changed that. Not a big enough event.

Confused on what weapons i should use :/

It might be interesting to know how much SP/how long you been playing. Maybe it was good for newer players but for vets it might have been more a bitter vet syndrome?

I think they would like this too but they just don't have a system in place to skin things or only allow certain items during certain periods of times. Hopefully 2014 is the year they make some major upgrades to the system.

Event was a good idea but all the items in it were kinda underwhelming overall.

It's an interesting event, but I was expecting something hilariously impractical but appropriate to the season GÇö like the Snowball Launchers in EVE GÇö instead of a barely-useful number of existing items. 12 of something doesn't last very long,

My main issue is, that often I only have time for a few matches at night, and sometimes, those few matches were massacres, where we were pinned at the red line. This prevented me many times from getting anything. Even though I was #1 on my team many times, because of the loss, I missed out on almost every day of rewards.
I still think the kill or resupply or team spawn counting is the best way to go. This gives every player a chance to get items if they are good or at least prolific.

Basically what other said as far as the event being better probably for newer players. I found most of the items underwhelming and 12 really does go by fast. If it was intended for newer players, I see them losing out on this equipment most matches before even finding out the potential of said equipment.
It kept me logging in each day and since I have an active corp was easy to grab it and go. Though, honestly, without the event, I would have just logged in for the free consecutive points and been on my way over this break.

Event: A significant (important, notable, or momentous) occurrence or happening.
Where was the significant occurrence?
Hell, when one those special contracts show up that placed you in a game where everyone deploys with dumbfiring swarmlaunchers that actually shoot snowballs and santa/showmannen dropsuits and you get a goodie for every kill you make? That's what I call an event, but yeah it's too much work so they don't do that. This was not even worth the name 'event'.

Rewards were very inconsistent. The Quafe and Black Eagle suits? Cool, but they've already been given out as rewards, which diminishes their uniqueness for people who earned them previously and makes them less special for people who get them now.
Kinda surprised they haven't implemented an achievement or medals system where they can give out cosmetic and moral rewards that aren't items that can be acquired from the store for a few AUR. |

It was not good enough to get me go log on. I'm so burned out that I can't play any more. Waiting for new content..... Like real new content not just a few guns, more like different game modes or god f u cking forbid pve. Eleven months is long enough for me to be bashing my head against the wall. |

Well it could have at least been a bit better had it been rewards of like 50+ of an item or something like that. We all know they have better stuff to fix then create Christmas themed things.

This was my thoughts on the subject.
A handful of low-level gear or a gob of suits I have a bunch of already isn't all that cool.
tl;dr for the link: A reward that'd inspire me to log on would be a couple of militia suits that have different colors than normal. Not even intricate color changes. A palette swap would suffice. No fancy balance breaking gear. Just some warbarge bling would be enough.

I really like the concept of the event and it somewhat encouraged me to play a quick match but i feel like it should have been tiered rewards.
e.g. day x: 1 win = aur std assault rifle, 2 wins = aur adv assault rifle, 3 wins = aur pro assault rifle.
This way we are more encouraged to play a few rounds and we actually use some of the rewards.

It's definitely something we want to do and will be looking at putting systems in place for in the future.

I am always logged in. So no, I didnt get the news. Aparently I also am subscribed to the newsletter, but still not subscribed to getting it. I did put in a request to get it fixed, but it never got answered, and never showed up on my requests. So, I have quite litterally given up on submitting tickets, requests, information and just look for it myself.
As for any content ideas... You want an event?
1) Free for all, all players spawn in an enclosed arena, vehicles are prohibited, Light weapons are prohibited, heavy weapons are prohibited. You spawn in a light suit, with a scrambler pistol and nova knives.
2) Drop ship Demo, All players are given a 'special' selection during this even from the vehicle menu, The Demolition Drop Ship. They are speced out to have militia blasters with 1 damage mod and an active scanner. Two players are the gunners and one is the pilot, the team that clones out first loses.
3) King of the rock pile, A single wide area indestructible nano-hive, which reps a 75 HP (armor and shields), and regerates at 20% ammo is placed on top of a hill/rock pile. The players within the range of the nano hive get the benefits of the nano-hive. Winners are the team who still has clones left.
4) Squad enforcement, a match is created with room for only 12 people. All players are forced into a single squad, and placed on the largest map. The clone count is only 36 per team. When you spawn in you spawn in 25m behind (opposite direction of the opponents) the rest of your squad. Winners are the team with clones left.
Take those for a test drive.

Dev sponsored teams given new content, and mercs fighting them can "earn" the bonus content through special battles. The most obvious flaw is covering timezones. Though this could be minimized through the use of Proxy organizations, such as crewing a special Corp for the event and recruiting players to run the gear, and allowing them to earn bonus gear for joining the Dev side.

I logged on a few days and did one match where I wouldn't have otherwise, but only because I thought there was the chance that doing all 12 days would net me something nice. Nothing that interesting so far. Maybe day 12 will give us something nice, like a 1 day active booster or something.

Events are always good.
My feedback on this one however -
Players should actually feel like they are taking part in something, as in, doing something differently. Players who skip past the 'news feed' when logging in and jump right into games, would literally be participating in the event without even realizing it.
For future events, I think it'd be a great idea to utilize the "Other Contracts" option. As in having event specific battles, so that everyone in the game is consciously participating in the event.
And then the prizes. I think the prizes should be awesome, but the risks should be high as well.
In my imaginary 'event', players would play special battles found in "Other Contracts" during the time of the event. The battles would not reward ISK, but have really awesome gear rewards, like unique prototype variants. There would be a somewhat decent participation prize, so you wouldn't leave any game empty handed, but winners would get something really awesome (don't know what, perhaps choosing one of several unique items... vehicles etc).
I think an event like this would be competitive, engaging, risky, and above all, FUN!

This didn't seem like a event. As event has something happen in it. Something big. I only got 3 or 4 days in,so it didn't grab me much.
I liked the Black Eagle Event, kind of. Everyone was running black eagles. THAT was an event. But 1 suit for 5 kills? C'mon. .. |

definitely understand this. Every time I have to login, I have the mic glitch which many do right now where you have to login, activate a channel voice coms, logout, then back in again. Am reminded this entire holiday season that a year later and large bugs still exist. I'm a vet and if not for the fact, I don't see how anyone just trying the game would accept the bugs but CCP knows this and I'm just waiting to hear what their plans will be in 2014.

Agreed, it was better than nothing but I think the point of most of it all is, if it not unique or valuable then small quantities will be viewed as an underwhelming reward.
You should take a second and do the poll, not much to read, 6 options to choose from, basically 3 questions within the poll.

For something that ran at a time when few staff were available and which was holiday themed this event seemed reasonable. Not exciting or really ground breaking in any way but I don't think it was supposed to be a highpoint for events anyway.
I'm not sure the win requirement made a lot of sense here, given the meta level and amount of gear handed out. Requiring a win can be a good mechanic for the right event but here it was disproportionate to the reward.
It also suffered due to the usual issue where one in every ten modules CCP gives away is useful to any given player. Extra SP or ISK should be part of every event where we're getting a shotgun blast of random crap. Don't like giving out SP and ISK? Then design more elegant events than "today you get a few of a randomly selected module". |
