Next event?
SO now that the okay-ish event for Halloween is over what is next on the event list for EME. Are we going to get a potion shack? a Letter event? a kill BAM event? So SpaceCats what do you have planned next for this community of yours? As well as when are we going to get the fix for Instance Reset Scrolls and for the UI Resetting every relog.

gvg removed, pvp bg destroyed by kumas and tank bg, getting kicked out of dungeon with slaughter, pvp gear upgrading no longer required cos all bg equalized.
dragons? i wont even bother collecting the scales
yup, i hope the bigger issue is solved first before wasting brain cells on another event. simple bugs like reaper prismatronic also still not fixed.
October also had a Strongbox event, Double Drop, Harvest Festival Hall, and the Autumn Costume & Screenshot Contest.
Yes, there were these events but even then Strongbox Event applies heavily to people who save keys regularly or people who can spend 100k+ on keys. Double drop was before patch and was just to help people get Imperator or slaughter on alts. Harvest Festival is here every year and is still dead after the first week of it happening and the Autumn costume and Screenshot contest only apply to a small portion of the community like the strongbox event. I'm not saying these events are bad its just they all apply to a different group of player. We haven't had a blue box event or catalyst event since December if i remember correctly and that is way to long in my opinion.
Screenshot contests are not events since only a few select few actually get any rewards from them. The double drop was in response to a massive screw up and was an "apology" not a planned event.
Strongbox event had the worst possible timing ever and has destroyed the feedstock market for T11. hardly anyone has T11 gear right now because reset scrolls do not work, so the market is just flooded with useless crap. Why wasnt it dropping T10 instead? Or better yet, why didnt you wait on this. The harvest festival hall isnt even a new event, just a complete rehash of the old one with utterly garbage rewards that are not worth the time and effort. Much like this Mandagora invasion, you have to sit around for 2 hours for the RNG chance of something good when in most cases all you are going to get it a garbage 3 day cosmetic you most likely already have a permanent version of anyway.
Quality events > Quantity. Sort it out next time. You can do better.
Strongbox event isn't for free players though. Double drop was from compensation. Harvest Festival hall isn't an event. You go in do 5 runs, 5 minutes a run, 25 minutes later, its over. Screenshot contest, ehh no.
We want something we can all participate in thats free and fun for everyone. Like blue box event, kyras potion shack, mongos, Bam killer event. Something that is fun, huge, people look forward to. I've sent you a PM 2 weeks ago regarding everything and you haven't even replied to it. I've sent a ticket in too regarding everything, they said they would pass it on to the correct team. You know dungeons do get boring. I myself am a veteran player loyal to this game, I have been here for 3 years, and it was fun when I started, I couldn't get enough of it. But at the games current state, its just rinse and repeat. Doing dungeons and grinding gear. There isn't anything new. Players like myself get very bored of that. The patch has been out 1 week now and I haven't bothered even doing the dungeons. It's just ehhhhh. You obviously don't know how the current state of the game is doing because you yourself wasn't even aware of certain things removed from the KS merchant. If you played on a regular basis, you would know these kinds of things.
It's just the little things. I mean sure yea theres a new battleground. I haven't even gotten around to try that yet because the BG queues are impossible. No one is doing them because the bonanza box is removed from the merchants. That gives people zero incentive to do them. Semi prices are back up again. The strongbox event only lowered them a few gold, but now that it's over, they are high, the reason for that is, the bonanza boxes are gone and those gave semis. When there is nothing to fluxuate the market of demand, the prices go up.
You guys increased credits of BG's well thats wonderful, but that does nothing when there is no incentive to do them.
The bonanza box is gone, and Fraywind is equalized so conflate is completely useless. I might aswell go dismantle my gunner's conflate gear since you can't use it anyway, but I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe you guys will revert fraywind back to the way it was. I know you guys have no control of the games content, thats up to BHS so I blame them mostly for killing off the game, but you guys do have control as to what goes into the merchants, such as bonanza boxes. Why not add them back?
Why not enable x2,x3,x5 credits or diamond matches again? Why do you take away things that keep the game going that people like? Again, its been justified that you guys don't play your game given the fact that you were completely oblivious to obvious un-intentional changes that regular players have noticed before you guys, the publishers. Such as bonanza boxes gone, or reset scrolls not working.
Sure a new patch is here, but at this point, the game is still at its current state as to what it was before the patch came. You guys need to give us event's all the time, so people who don't like to do dungeons or can't pvp can have something else to do. If you don't they will just go find another game and you guys will lose players, and as a veteran, I love this game and I hate to see the path its going, but that isn't in my hands, that is up to you guys to forward this important information to BHS to get things changed. If you don't this game's days are numbered.
That's just my two cents.
If events like that happened more often I think it'd be a huge benefit to the entire community, imo. Since big daily things like Nexus have gone I don't find myself engaging with actual other players anymore, but I met a handful through the recent event, which is the biggest reward within itself.
I know a lot of planning went into this event what with the time slots and all the script writing-- which is awesome! But don't be afraid to do similar events on a less dramatic scale, like just a casual BAM killer or blue box event, etc. Rewards don't gotta be huge, just enough to incentivize people to get together.
I agree on this it should have been T10 for guile which is what most players go for.
People were asking about a strongbox event on forums (me included) so I guess EME obliged and made one. Gotta recognize when they do listen to forums requests popo.
Edit:
Personally I just want operation highwatch back and for dungeon bosses to roam the open world @ random places / hours. I can already imagine how lively chat would go whenever someone stumbled upon kelsaik or manaya on popolion / fey forest etc. I'm sure It would be loads of fun rushing over with your friends to slay them.
Events are nice but they would also need to work on some decent rewards. Even tho I mentioned doing events for fun I'm sure many people would get tired of the events over time if the rewards are not up the challenge/time invested.
