Are Events in Eve Online Any Good?
Hello capsuleer, welcome,
in this thread, I want to start a discussion regarding “recent” in-game events by CCP and how well received these are. I’d like you to focus on what went well, what didn’t, and how they could do better.
I’d also like to compare recent events versus events further back in EVE’s past. I haven’t for example witnessed the Trig invasion, and I’d like to hear how this shapes up against things like the doctor who crossover or the siege of Zarzakh.
Do you like these events? Do you feel engaged and part of something while these are going on?
Let me know below.
With eventful regards

I think the old events from years back were excellent compared to the recent ones… I’m talking about old ones like the Gallente Rally Race, Guristas Egg Pod Hunt, Winter Nexus… The Faction Founding Celebration events were pretty good too…
I definitely don’t like events that, in order to advance and complete it, you have to collect items to make BPC’s to make keys / filaments to enter w-holes to collect more items to make more BPC’s to make more keys / filaments to enter more w-holes, etc, etc, while combating advanced AI NPC’s doing all sorts of Ewar that keep warping in and out of the sites..
CCP has made events way too scripted now, giving players no choice of options to complete the events… The amount of Agency points have been increased so much that it’s now a full time job to complete an event… The Agency reward prizes are lackluster and mainly consist of ship skins, skinner materials and boosters… Same goes for event loot drops as well as event log-in rewards… Very rarely ever get Faction BPC’s, modules and implants now…
Years ago I looked forward to running events… Recently now when events start, I open the Agency and after seeing the same old rewards and massive amount of points needed to complete it, I just close the Agency and don’t give it another thought, especially since CCP has scripted it making players do tasks they don’t want to do…
