Server Scheduled Events

[mynameis]

My suggestion is to change things up a bit with the server events.
I myself have never played a survival game because of times, and I have really never played many 2v2's or 3v3's because there aren't many. I think those promote guild play in a big way.
I also think we should have more pvp ideas like CTF, because they are a good way to get every little fish involved.

I am also sitting here on Monday afternoon realizing that I can't get an event till the earliest tomorrow night because of my work schedule. What is up with that?

I realize people want less events because they feel like they are hogging the field fighting. I agree with that. I like field fighting better. I dont necessarily think that we need less though. Maybe we could decrease the pvp event value to 1/2 a point though. I know without a doubt that there are people who play multiple shards that only login to do tournaments for the points.

As far as event quality goes, and the way there is guild seperation now. I can't wait to get my team ready to do events because it stinks loosing to the same old team. Not like its a real bad thing, because:
A) I get to get better fighting a better team
B) They earned their spot at the top

but until that point the guild seperation sucks, not all the time, but some of the time.

As far as PVM events - your doing a great job, if I were more into PVM I'd want more, but I'm not, enough said.

Thanks guys, feel free to flame, but the best thing we can all do is work as a server to make things fit all of us. So instead of flaming, think about maybe giving positive suggestions.

I feel the events were nerfed a bit TOO much...

I agree with the fact that they were happening too often, but lets look at what was ACTUALLY happening.

I remember sitting here a few days ago and literally seeing 4 events being chained one after another...WHILE a huge pvm event was going on.

Now the answer to this has been: 24 hour stretches between events? Obviously they're not ALL spaced this way, but jesus...the next event is in 18 + hours, and it's at 5 a.m. for me...The changes to this shard as of late are really starting to make me question authority, and how it thinks out its decisions...

I mean is it so hard to host an event early in the morning, and one during server prime time?

Hell, you can even toss in a large scale PvM event once every two weeks...Honestly I don't see how this will disrupt era accuracy anymore than it already has been.

[Hemperor]

i think there should be an event every 8 hours to accomodate everyone, and each 8 hour slot would have its own event for that day, so it switches up nicely

[DrFaustus]

Yea, cycling the events around is the first step to success. Accommodating the entire shard is the 2nd. Not using IRC as a valid feedback method is the 3rd.

Why not put up a poll on this or something else and see if we can organize towards some common solution.

I'm trying to get away from events in the center server prime time.

DrFaustus, your posts says two things that are blatant falsehoods, there are currently no 24 hour periods with no events and the next event at the time of your post was 15 hours not 18+. If you have a point to make I'm happy to listen but there's not need to exaggerate to make it. Say say your peace so i can focus on your point constructively. I'm still puzzling over what you think PvM events every two weeks has to do with era accuracy.

Events can be thrown at any time of the day with the same degree of "difficulty"

[DrFaustus]

I merely exaggerated to express my dislike with the over zealous changes...and I'm talking about the events as a whole in terms of era accuracy.

I'll tell you what, it was a lot easier to find fights today, than the days that had 8 events on them. I like it.

It's also holiday break, keep that in mind.

[crabjuice]

I say if you are going to run events, just don't run them in prime time. It's hard to find people to PvP or interact with when its NOT prime time. So if you have occasional events during the non-peak hours that gives more things for players to do throughout the day.

Well holiday break was running when we were having roughly 8 events a day also.

[Wintersleep]

Bottom line is, no matter what we do we will always have at least one person complain. Some things you may not like, while some other things may be aimed towards your liking.

We cannot make everyone happy.. But i swear we will try.

[ScoobyDoO]

I like the changes. Events where way over rated anyways because of the same people winning them over and over and over. I think by reducing the number of events more people will play them, we will see.

[Mazer]

Hrmm, the reduction might be a bit drastic imo. Used to be 9 (or so) 1v1's a week, now it's 2?

[Kefka]

I believe that this change is great.

I found it crazy that there were multiple events every single day. People would log in/show up for the events, then log out/go back to macroing.

Since the change, I've seen a lot more people interacting in game and actually playing.

However, with the change, you may have to reduce the cost of some of the rewards.

I second that.
