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 have passed your thread on to our Live Events team who just love running these cool Sansha invasions for you

A lot of nice ideas here as well for how they could be enhanced.

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.

solar flares screwing with shields/resistances/local in inner system etc
rogue (drone infested?) comets
roaming jovian dev fleets for lulz
npc corpwars
sleeper scouts in k-space
asteroid field collisions
rogue planets in deep space
region wide nearby supernovae effects


moar!

~cool stuff~

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. :)

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.

some of you's might not remember this but a few year ago ccp made the whole of eve nul sec with no conc etc for 1 night

they seeded all stations for 100isk cap ships the lot

devs/GM's whatever they call themselfs were all in caps and jove ships(crazy jove frigs with 99% resists with 7 torp launcher iirc) all over empire.

now after all the crap we've had recently im sure we would all like to shoot at cpp and them back at us.

that was one of the best nights ive ever had in eve

doint it again ccp, have you got the conkers for it?

I still haven't seen 1 live event yet.....

BUMP for an excellent thread.

Stop clearing the wreck fields! Leave that to the professionals. Moar wrecks=moar glorious Vigil raids and subsequent explosions.

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.

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 didn't join this game to pay real money for fake clothes. I joined this game to fly in space.

Along with your opinion on this, plz post ur top 3 ideas relating to this that you think would make eve more exciting and interesting.

Thank you in advance for you constructive input.

@ 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.

Right now though we have to stay focused on the much larger-scale events we're running (like Arek'jaalan - google it if you're interested, or one of those people who always seems to miss events, this one is running 24hrs a day). This second round of events requires a lot of love and attention to truly pull off.

Finally, to those people saying "players make the (best) content" I salute you. Know that we'll actually back you up on that statement too. We say it all the time at conventions, panels, etc. and that idea is actually a core principle behind the Arek'Jaalan live events. Rather than dishing out storyline tidbits from on high, we're inviting our fellow players to tell the story as well.

make your own events. define your eve and then invite everyone to play.

One thing this I would really like as it could be a big potential buff to low sec is Sansha mining ops. Imagine: Sansha's Nation is being bled dry by capsuleers shutting down their incursions, so they need to refill their material stores (or some other lore explanation). Sansha is hesitant to provoke the wrath of 0.0 alliances and mining in high sec is too dangerous to be cost effective - leaving only low sec. Sansha combat rats as well mining ships could randomly spawn in low sec asteroid belts, or even planets and go about mining or collecting PI resources until they reach their quota or are destroyed. For an added bonus, don't announce Sansha miners/collectors so people have to actually look for them, increasing low sec traffic (a fairly direct boost to piracy as well).


Done right this could not only add a new type of dynamic event to EVE, but it could also add some nice PVE content while revitalizing the long dead profession of belt piracy.

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.

Bounties and bounty hunting needs to be fixed....... badly.

This is a mechanic in eve that is currently pretty pointless as anyone can get an alt and claim his own bounty.

The only reason some people have bounties is for the 'statis" of a pirate with a bounty.

We need a bounty system that:

(1) where you chose a registered bounty hunter to exact your vengeance and only he/she can collect the bounty.

(2) set the kill requirements for the bounty collection, IE you have to kill 100,000,000 isk to collect the 100,000,000 isk bounty.

(3) could employ a corp or alliance with the same criteria... IE so much isk in damage against another corp/alliance

( receive 1 isk for each 1 isk destroyed, example. a formal merc. contract.)

These are just some rough starting ideas, but i would like to know what you guys think about them. I believe this would make eve much more dynamic.

All credit for these ideas go to Sigras.

I would however like to see more events.

A couple of things I wouldn't mind seeing:

• Every once in a while, some Sleepers sneak into normal space (all sec levels) and find their way to belts or stations and harass the locals.

Why would they do that? They are just drones that were left over by some aliens. They have no motive or reason to leave what they are doing.

... some Sleepers have taken notice that ... Going through a wormhole, ...

A couple of things I wouldn't mind seeing:

• Concord failure in a high-sec system... no sec hit, no Concord response, no gate guns, 4 hours of free-for-all. Stay docked or leave system to avoid the mayhem.
• Every once in a while, some Sleepers sneak into normal space (all sec levels) and find their way to belts or stations and harass the locals.

I'm all for live events. I wonder if CCP would be open to allow players to help out more with the design and running these.

Have a way to suggest a live event, with all the details down to how many ships/items would be there. How many players this would be designed for. All the possible variables submit it to CCP and as the live event team has time they could review and possibly help set these up.

I am all for CCP giving us more content but I would like some more control over this sandbox and the direction it goes. Even if it was just for small events.

This along with the new ships that came from players is a nice new direction. CCP has been creating content for us since the beginning. Yes we do create some of our own content such as Hulkagedon, and the Goon's war on the ice miners but stuff that is sanctioned by CCP could be very interesting.

I have always wanted to see space races. Even tho it is a challenge to set these up with gates It would be cool to do a check point race where there are cans in certain belts with items you need to collect. Put these like 500KM off a belt so players have to warp to the belt then race to the can to collect the items.

You could make everyone start In Jita have have 10 check points for people to goto. Make it so you have to decided on the optimum route to get all the items from the cans so not everyone is taking the same route, add in some Low sec and maybe even Null sec check points to spice it up. Announce the systems that players are going to have to goto 30 min before the race starts so people cannot just plan their route out days in advance.

Every time I bring this idea up, the topic falls off the forums.
