Hi. Im just curios to know what people would like to have as an event.
There are two things I would love to have.

1. A vehicle event. If you kill someone being inside a tank or a dropship, you get +1000 sp, for each kill. LAVs count too. No road kill allowed, in other words, only killing with turrets. Now, this might sound way too easy, specially fot those guys who are really good with tanks or dropships, so, for the infantry, for every vehicle they destroy, they get +2500 sp.
Too easy? Perhaps, but would be nice to see the great tankers and pilots versus the good AV players.

2. I think there was something similar to this. An event where people can choose sides; choose one, you get certain quantity of a special suit to fight (a good, almost OP suit, pre-fitted). (And maybe there should be a limit to this first side) The reward they get is similar to first event idea; for every kill the get using the special suit, +1000 sp, and for every five kill with the suit, they get an extra suit of this kind at the end of the event. The other side, that didnt choose the special suit, they get to hunt this special suit, and for every kill AND terminate of this suit they get +3000 sp and one of this special suits at the end of the event. Why +3000 sp and a suit for each kill and not +1000 and a suit for every five kills? Because, in theory, should be easy to get more kills with the suit.

Now, this are simple, raw ideas, but I think you do get the point.
Is there anything you have in mind that you would love to have? It doesnt have to be something too elaborated, nor "real". I just would like to know what the people would like to see.

#2 has been done before (Caldari Prime, still the best event). and We're about to get #1. sweet.

There was a goal (save/kill the titan) EVE players were involved, Dust players were involved. There was a great planetary backdrop, especially at the end. It felt like something important. The events now..... well, they are blah. I don't care about the rewards. The feeling of excitement, the feeling that we had a part in the universe, that's all gone and that's what I miss most. I understand CCP tailors these events for data gathering, but can we have one [Just one] a year that isn't data gathering and actually feels important? That's all I really want.

No points or isk for anything above basic. I think it would be fun to see the total mayhem of everyone running these suits. To live as one shall live, I prefer killing red dots.

I would like if some of the old, more open maps could be put back into rotation for greater tank battles. In short, maybe something vehicle related. Something FW based would be good too.

Doubt it will happen but just saying. *UPDATE: Maybe they could use Special Contracts for an event where all players queuing are locked to using only Starter or Max Level gear (either end of the gear spectrum). Would be a great chance to try out meta-level lockout that was discussed a while back while also directly seeing the pros and cons of meta-level locking (and seeing if anyone can find a way around it).

However, before thinking an event for those guys, there should be a way to make their roles more important. For example, I have seen ideas about implementing a system in wich a mercenary could "make a call", so a sign or a message or something appears in a way that pilots can see it, so it would appear where the guy who is calling for a ride is (point a) and the place where he wants to go, his destination (point b). This message would be for all the pilots (and maybe guys in lavs?), so they could confirm or deny the call; if they accept and do the job (take the guy to where he wants to go) they get wp. Now, I want to make clear that this is not my idea, it was someone else who proposed this, but saddly I dont know his name nor found the video he made while he explained this idea, wich I find amazing because its solid (I dont know if I explained it right) and its completely related to the role of dropships. I do think that LAVs should be included in this to make them more valuable, as well as I think they should get an armor and shield increase. I also believe that there should be a map in skirmish where, as others have proposed, a certain objective (A,B,C, D, any of this) can only be accesed with a dropship, however this could be a reason for people to say "thats not fair!". So... a solution would be that this point could be accesible for everyone and not just dropships, but that those who dont use or take a dropship had to take stairs or ladders... a lot of ladders. Also, I propose this in skirmish because even if a team cant get a hold of this objective, there would be others they could control to win the match. This are just ideas that I like and think could give a new style to the game, I understand if people dont like it or if they do, that they can improve them and also propose what they think could really help with the role of dropships and LAVs.
Moorian Flav 329	Posted - 2015.04.23 19:45:00 - [55] - Quote Since the last event was not well received all around, I thought I'd bump this. I'd like to see a lore based (make up a decent story) event again with 2 separate objectives for two separate prizes (pick between which). Whichever objective is completed first is what you get (should be difficult where you cannot complete both). Possible objectives could be so many kills with specific faction weapons (as can be tracked) or so many completed (not won) FW matches. Prizes could be so much ISK, LP, and/or maybe a fancy new SKIN.

RayRay James Titans of Phoenix RUST415 1005	Posted - 2015.04.27 13:27:00 - [60] - Quote So, over on the EVE side, the Sleepers/ Drifters seem to be collecting corpses of pilots from space. The Scope released a video about the autopsy of one of the Drifter pilots bodies, and from that we know they're genetically similar to the Jove. How about we get those drones we've all wanted (I know, I know, PS3 resources) to start scanning/collecting our corpses from the field, the SAME TIME we're fighting in FC/PC/Pubs. Imagine, you and the reds are fighting over a point when the drones arrive and start scanning and taking bodies from the field. Now both teams have a choice, keep fighting each other, team up and fight the drones, or free for all and kill anything that moves.
