Sadly, I joined just as the invasion you mentioned was occuring. It ended the day or so after I came to the mainland, so I can only imagine what it might have been like.

I'm symptathetic that Nevrax is focusing on other aspects. I'm just agreeing that if they are looking to us for a sense of what we want next, this would be one good thing.

Rather than (or in addition to) specific events, I would like to see some permanent kitin dynamics put in. For example, in Knoll of Dissent we have the Tunnel of Woe where red zone kitin come out into an orange zone and lurk in the nearby area. I would like to see something like this where the kitin slowly spread away from the immediate area of the tunnel and have to be periodically pushed back. If nothing is done they just keep spreading (slowly). If a concerted raid pushes them all the way back and clears out the tunnel then there would be a semi-random period of delay before they start coming out again.

Yeah.. no offense but that last event sucked..

Gathering everyone up to go bash something which is always there and doesn't exactly cause a threat seems a little weak to me. It's not what I'd call an event, at least not real server event.. If it doesn't have a point to it.. then why bother..
That whole thing must have taken all of 5mins to think up..
-Lets get them to trek from town to the lair, smack up the queen and head on back to town to listen to someone copy and paste a ton of text in to chat.. *sigh*

Not that that stuffs bad, the new players might even enjoy it.. but for those of us who've been around longer than 5mins and have heard the lore 500 times it gets pretty boring, pretty fast...
It's like a bank concentrating on offering services to new customers, the rest of us do exsist you know? =P

It's nice to see you showing some interest though, Souls! =D
Theres plenty of idea the community can/have come up with, event wise...
Should suit Nevrax down to the ground too, getting us to do the work for them.. =P =P =P

I enjoyed it and I've been playing for eight months. But I'm easily entertained.

Every time somebody brings up invasions, I will raise this point..

MAKE THEM MULTI DAY EVENTS !!

While the population of Ryzom is concentrated in Europe and North America, with a trifling time difference between them,( barely 8 hours I beleive, without doing any checking at all ) there are subscribers scattered over the rest of the globe, and having to get out of bed at 3 in the morning to participate in a 3 hour event really doesnt cut it. For that matter, the people who are online during my normal playtimes can be Shiftworkers, or any of a number of reasons why they cannot be on during the 'peak' times.

So even if the event has a scripted Finale, at the time when most players are online, give the rest of us a chance to participate, in the leadup or whatever..

The first Kitin Invasion is still the best one as far as I am concerned, despite all its problems. Lets take what we have learned, and fixed, and do it again even better.
(I still have my q200 Axe, and Dagger, and q200 basic starter amp from it )

I agree on the first invasion... but the Nexus battle was also done quite well and had goals for the factions. We want to unite against a common foe as well as compete for faction honors

Actually there is a whole ton of stuff already planned and in development by the events team. I was more interested in just hearing what you guys liked and didn't like so we can stay in touch with player wants etc. I know it's to appreciate that we actually give a damn about that but hey, too bad, cos we do.

The BB kitin invasion way back was good, arming the tribes, gathering the materials etc leading upto the final battle more in this line would be great.
