    Global Events Format

    Global Events should be a constant revolving cycle that is always going on, similar to Daily/Weekly Missions, and the Leaderboards/Rewards should be reset every week, that way people always have an opportunity to do them, and every week new people can be at the top of the leaderboards.

    Something like "For the next 12 hours GE Assault will be active, once that ends, for 8 hours GE Ambush will be active" so on and so forth kinda sorta similar to the contamination events in the DZ.

    This whole "one and done" type system where were going months without a global event is totally useless and if you dont have time to play it then it might as well not even be in the game because you didnt get an opportunity to participate.

    GE rewards for the weekly top of the leaderboards should ONLY consist of Classified Gear Set items, Exotic Gear/Weapons, and the most rare exotic vanity pieces that could only be redeemed from GE leaderboards, and impossible to get from the vendors.

    Theyre events! Theyre not supposed to be available all the time. Theyve said in the latest SotG that setting up these events arent as easy as they need to be. So Id imagine regular events arent possible. Or at least feasible.

    Killing Floor has events..... 3x a year so if they make 4, 1 for each faction then we can expect to see them at least quarterly. I imagine alternating them every month even for a week would get old fast for ppl who get the required sets and then use dt to maxx them.

    Maybe they figure making the grind for classy gears more drawn out, players will be more thankful when they do eventually get them.

    I agree that if you miss an event then youre penalized excessively... I still dont have 6p for the first gear sets released.... but Im not in a rush to get them tbh.

    Or it can work like it did in my case and give you that last little push to quit completely and find a game that rewards your time.

    Yes, re-running events is more difficult than it sounds. On top of that, we'd like to have more events to rotate for you guys when we do re-introduce previous events.

    Yeah, I can see where a couple clicks of a button would be hard to set up. Meanwhile stalling for months between releases of new gear sets are absolutely priceless.

    I understand that it isn't as easy as I made it sound, but I also understand you have been working on this stuff for many months and players are very restless. Just this weekend, I had two more friends quit the game cause they are bored. Yet you drag you feet and can't seem to get where you need or should be at this point and time.

    Hi!
    1. About rewards of leaderboard. I think its good that its only clothes and colors for something. Just it can be unique one. Gear super isnt very good as a reward in this case. So best players only increase their forces, and Im sure with time even that gear will be as a trash, and clothes they will have all the time and any moment can say and show that they have it. And be proud of it.
    2. About idea GE often. Before all this it seems to me developments talking about some mode when there are same conditions for all players and players must complete some missions. It was time before 1.7. I understood this idea like f/e/ you have Submachine(any kind of it) gun and you must choose from only some sets or items that you can use. F.e. you can use only Alpha and Tact gear, or only exotic gear and with all this you must complete mission. Conditions may touch all team or just each player.
    In GE its interest this bonus that have players, uniq bonuc of GE, so

    it would be good I think just realize each week(like author say) some conditions that players must complete. Its not necessary like in GE do GE credits with cashes, just missions and conditions. May be points for it to complete leaderboard.

    Lots of players want to try something new in this game, and in the same time they used to play with their favorite builds, so pushing players to do new builds, to complete something would be new for them I think and interesting cause of it. What do you think?
