I know we all were looking for something different then what CCP gave us in the last expansion.
I've been thinking about the game having mini events, similar to the Sansha incursions. Maybe, not on that big a scale, but with more frequency and variety. These events wouldn't be regular and would always occur randomly.
Perhaps having an npc Angel fleet of 100 BS spawn in a randomn system in a high sec region once a month.
Or having a system's sun go supernova and spawn some in game material that could be mined.
Or having a comet crash into a planet and having tons of debris in a solar system like a giant asteriod field of ice/ore/ lvl 1pi materials.
Or have a 0.0 constellation spawn in a system an npc grouping of pos's, say 6-10 on an unoccupied moon, and the pos's have bounty and loot, perhaps faction tower bpc's.
These are rough ideas and have many flaws with them i know, but i'm looking for ideas like this. What do you guys think?
I believe we need more variety in eve.
I'm looking for input if this would be a good idea or not and if so what kind of events would you like to see?
Thank you in advance for you constructive input. |

Live events increase immersion and make MMOs feel real.
More events please CCP! Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

Yup, moar events plox!
Another way to bring more events into the game could be a dev or gm arranging something, with what we already have ingame. Kind of like CCP Zymurgist's swap meets or similar.
Good thing with that is that it would require no coding.

Last event I read about there were a bunch of people complaining that they lost their ships just going about their daily business and that they should be reimbursed.
Another group of people complaining that they didn't know about the event and missed it, and yet another group complaining that there were too many people at the event as it was and it was lagging out.
I would however like to see more events. |

I remember live events. I remember the wailing about "you're favouring x y z" (pick whatever you want as variables).
Its a double-edged sword in Eve. Don't publicise the event (or have it somewhere obscure) and you get hauled over the coals for favouring people there. Do publicise it and its a blobfest and you get hauled over the coals for that.
I am of the opinion that "live events" should only ever be for introducing new content and that those "live events" should cease once the players get the idea. Eg - Incursions.
The tl;dr is that live events are a minefield in Eve. |

Why do these events have to be singular?
Why can't 4 or 5 of them occur concurrently?
Why does backspace delete the last two characters when used from my iPhone?

Well, with our shiny new captains quarters, everything "dangerous" in the local area will be announced in advance. Regards,

I've suggested more interesting random events in the past. One of the features I think would be really neat would be some sort of contextual small-scale (possibly escalating) missions given out in real-time to people just going on about their business.
Example:
Pilot's mining away in some asteroid belt, a NPC ship warps in being chased by a bunch of NPCs from an opposing faction. The pilot sicks his/her drones on the pursuing ships destroying them, and the player gets some sort of reward. The pilot could do nothing and watch the fireworks if they so desire, or maybe the rescued ship gives the player a bookmark to something resembling a mission area (combat, etc.) that the player could go to explore and get further rewards.
Essentially, take the NPC factions and their conflicts, put them front and center in an active fashion in space around us, and let us be rewarded appropriately for sticking our noses into things. :)

@ CCP Nav,
Pass this one along, STOP CLEARING the danged wreck fields! Lag be damned, leave that to the professionals.
At the end of last year, these events went on for much longer than anyone realizes as the scavengers (that would be us) fought over the scraps with hilarious results and many explosions (over an hour and a half in fact at one of the events). There is nothing more exciting than landing on grid next to a juicy player-wrecked T3 or T2, with scramming frigs all around you and the Carrier being way too close for comfort. The fights that break out in those things were just too funny and yeah, we get a kick out of folks shootin (and popping) our frigates. I think we lost 3 or 4 at the last one in Pator and the new ninja still made out like a bandit.
These are great events, but if you clear the wreck fields, you're locking out the salvagers, can flippers and other PVP opportunists who are already virtually locked out of Incursions. Recruiting is OPEN Please join our public channel The Ninja Dojo for more info |

Downtimes, especially long ones when patches are applied, are boring. The Apocrypha downtime, on the other hand, was not. I just reread the events on the wiki two years ago and I was at the edge of my seat. A second time. And then I ate the Spaghetti I left to be burned on the oven in the mean time.
Other ideas?
* Pirates kidnapping people. Small, fast pirate gangs that would be gone in minutes if not captured and killed by players. Also, if a GM directs the event, maybe the pirates don't have to be killed, just warp scrambled and forced to release the hostages? * NPC convoys carrying interesting stuff around high/low/nullsec. These would be either lore-related items or just bounty. In either case, they would need to drop some interesting loot; not necessarily valuing in the hundreds of milions, but a newby stumbling on a, say, Republic Fleet Tracking Enhancer would remember the event for the rest of his EVE-life. * Scavenger hunts! The Federation has lost one of it's patrols and asks for assistance from capsuleers to find it! A great minmatar tycoon has had his daughter run away and needs someone to find her and bring her back, that ungrateful little dumbass! Rewards could be either isk or all kinds of modules/lore stuff.
The vibrant backstory of EVE is what made me to open my first trial account. The vibrant backstory of EVE is what made me activate it. Keep this backstory alive and vibrant, and we'll be friends forever, CCP.

Live events are pretty much the only thing left keeping me around - even when I miss the event.
When the game is ALSO an epic science fiction story, one that develops while in it - and perhaps being a part of it - it's a new kind of entertainment.
Interactive entertainment, not just sitting there vegetating in front of a TV or hitting the ESC through a cut scene, is going to be the wave of the future. This is what will kill television. Books will not be killed off so easily, because the story itself becomes something to read about whether you were a part of it or not.
Really, how many science fiction stories or novels could you read where you can go into a game and contact some of the people who were in it?
Years from now, historians will mention this game and how the live events shaped the future of entertainment. |

You could create a scaled down version of a Concord ship that is ridiculously hard to kill and cannot one shot you, have Hilmar fly it around the universe spamming "I need your $$$$$ for $10,000.00 jeans". When you are within 1 AU of him, your isk will start disappearing from your wallet and a "Buy Aurum" popup will continue to appear on the screen until you kill him or get out of range.
Also mute him in chat windows, since no one would believe what he says anyway. I would Imagine the entire universe of EVE would love to shoot at him, I suspect a few CCP people would too.

Can we have a live PvP event that we fight a real Dev invasion in random place. So they take control of the ships and exchange pew pew with everyone :P? The Codex Astartes guides us....*someone poke and whisper something* Oh wrong scenario...WHERE IS MY GIANT AQUARIUM?! |

...cough....
To the OP, make you own events, player run events tend to be much more creative than anything CCP could do. If you do it right they'll help with getting some exposure. Navigator is good like that.

I would just like to point out that CCP Dropbear, who is one half of the Live Event team, is currently running a fairly large project doing just that.. a quick search for Arek'Jaalan might be what you are looking for.

Ty very much Xavier.
I guess this is the kind of input i was looking for. Although opinions about the topic in general are more than welcome. |
