Additional Information
This is the basic Dynamic Event rundown:

• The Event is divided in four (4) parts, SGP 1-3 and Fort
  
• The Robots will attack the first SGP (Shield Generator Platform) in four (4) waves
  
• Destroying the required amount of robots within a wave’s time limit will count as a success, spawn a Reclaimer Unit and shortly thereafter start the next wave
  
• Failing to destroy the required amount of robots within a wave’s time limit will fail the event part and shortly thereafter start the next event part.
  
  • Example: failing SGP 1 Wave 2 will fail the SGP 1 Event part and shortly thereafter the SGP 2 Event part will start
    
• Succeeding in an Event part (clearing all 4 waves) will provide a variety of temporary buff effects to participants who reach 100% Contribution during the event. Which buff effect one receives is based on the event
  
• The end Boss, a Warlock I3-TF, has a dynamic maturity. The more Reclaimers have been killed the higher the Boss’ maturity. The Boss has five (5) maturity levels

Good to see some event information and an adjustment lowering contribution requirement.

It doesn't say anything about the Hotel California effect. If you die you are revived outside the fort and may well die before being able to get to the tp if you wish to leave, but the rounds have been reasonably short so far, so no big problem I guess

It's a good start in adding transparency to the game rules. This is the correct way. Let's hope this becomes usual in Entropia.

but its still not clear to me if the event can be started up by players(like the rexwave) or is it at set times ?

A VU ago or so they talked about implementing a PP based event system so the PPs themselves can better control there events. So I think its the PP who can trigger the event from there end, as they also said that Calypso would be the testing ground for the new system.

Oh... so it's the Reclaimer Unit that we must kill
