In the summer mayhem thread once again a discussion about mining events came up.
I would like to know how you guys would set up a mining event if you would be in MAs shoes.
One idea posted in the other thread:
Instanced Mining with special resources, only available during event and in said mining instance.
Personally I think this is not optimal solution.
The fear of some miners is that a mining event will flood the market with additional resources that may crash MUs.
This really could happen, especially when a lot full time hunters, join that mining event.
My solution would be:
Run the mining event parallel to mayhem event - this will keep most hunters in mayhem, no extra mining resources flood the market.
For scoring in the mining event just count claims found - size of claim should not matter (to prevent excessive use of additional amps by miners who normally go unamped.
That way the impact on MUs wouldn´t be to extrem, although I think it still will drop the MU while the event is going on.
Alternativ would be to add some scoring items to mining claims (sooto), similar to the mayhem event. Speak each claim you find during the event can drop a score item for 0,1,5,10,50,100,500,1000 or 5000 pts.
If this is doable outside an instance, well MA will know.
If the event is universal, then I would exclude treasure claims from the scoring board, simply because it would drive all miners to Ark, because more chances to get claims in the same time as you will have on other planets without treasure.
Please share your ideas, maybe some time MA decide to get some of it and give us a mining event for the hardcore miners.
