I agree. This event was fun.

As previously mentioned, was it was short.

You could do the sites in a variety of ships. I saw new characters running them in frigates, sometimes with help from older characters, so pilots did team up at times to help new players out.

You got a useful reward, and many people found trying to collect a whole set a worthy goal. In addition, whether anticipated or not, there was the haggling that went on over trading extra skins with other pilots when you didn't feel like selling the extras.

So, to sum up, a short, fun event that provided a sense of accomplishment coupled with the opportunity to meet other players in a competitive setting that sometimes turned on a dime from combat to conversation.

Thumbs up!

Because most of people are simple creatures. Push buttan - receive bacon.

Great to hear you guys enjoyed this one Big smile

Keep the feedback coming - alongside looking at participation metrics, constructive criticism and good feedback are the two most important things that help us move forward with creating these events Smile

You know what would have made it more interesting, if going into the spawn that is a wormhole spawn type that sends you to a dead space pocket so you end up in ????

High sec spawn sends you to high sec

Low to low

Null to null

Entering could put you in unfriendly territory making it so if you don't kill it fast enough upon entering your journey back could be interesting, but make it so it jumps you maybe 5 systems out from where you started, wormhole despawns 15 mins after coming through, so you have a choice to stay or flee.

The only thing I hated about it was that it ended when I wasn't looking (logged in yesterday and found out they had been de-spawned).

Looking forward to the next event. And, I definitely agree with the whole "Simple is better" approach. GG, CCP.

I enjoyed the event greatly as well. It was nice to be able to log in and do something that did not take very large spans of time and had a nice reward. Keep events coming!

Site distribution could use another adjustment: found 18 sites in one null-sec pocket. That seems high. I understand distribution was balanced to prevent too many site spawns being pushed out of high-traffic areas into dead null-sec or WH systems; but I think a hard limit of 5-10 (for example) accumulating in any one system, is needed.

Simple mechanics may be "good," but it brings us back to repetitive grinding. The Shadow of the Serpent event mechanics rewarded a variety of methods and gave us variety in combat sites. These aspects were good improvements from the same site completed the same way, over and over again.

My problem with SotS was per-site completion rewards - a reason to be in each site, for loot collectors of all persuasions, were ignored, in favor of event points, requiring massive amounts of grinding to reach reward tiers. If the reward tiers and daunting progress bar (reminding players of their lack of progress) did not exist, I would not have perceived Shadow of the Serpent as so "grindy."

Eh, I think both systems have their good and bad points.

I really got a feel of achievement from SoTS, when I got gold container, and in few cases also the loot from shipyard cans, it was more like finding a gold coin in a stack of hay or watching how your tree grow and one day suddenly you see it having a lot of fruits. For this purity event it was more like small bits of chievement every site, like every step there would be a small berry to the basket.

I liked the skins, I liked the design, I liked the pace, I liked the contest(s), I chuckled at some social interactions from it. And when I collected all the skins and wanted to **** about and have some fun I quickly realized that I dislike the fact the the NPCs could not not be remote repped.

I certainly enjoyed this Event more than the Serpentis one.

I actually participated in this one.

I was one such [sort of] carebear. Someone stole an Avatar skin off me. Technically, it wasn't mine, but I still feel duped ;)

I'm more complex, I prefer toasted bread wrapped around my bacon. Preferably with some brown sauce.

The event was ok.
Skins: nice idea
Rest: too easy and a site was finished much too fast

I prefered the gurista event because it was harder, took longer to finish a site and it was gated. There were many fights over a site in lowsec.

In the future when you have these events , why can't you make it so , as soon as you warp into that event plex , it is a pvp area no matter if high sec , low sec or null . Also , as soon as there is two pilots involved in pvp in that plex no one else can lock or attack either pvp participant . Or , close that complex to any other warp in , until there is only one pilot left , or the objective is completed .

It already is.

I agree, it was way better than the Serpentis event. You only had one site and you clear it. And in my experience, most people would leave when they see you running the site. I did have one guy try to take the site in a Tengu when I was already there. He was in such a hurry that he grabbed the wreck that was for me and went suspect, and didn't realize it (he had to have his security set to red).

I was PvP fit in my Hurricane but I did mention to him in local that he just went suspect. He jettisoned the cargo, abandoned it and GTFO. Yeah, I don't think he was PvP fit.

I lol'd.

Keep it going, CCP. I am ready for another one.

Completely contradicts the open sandbox.

I too enjoyed it. Not too grindy. Short and sweet.
