New Events are forged; yet hoped for.

   While events come from time to time and most in the game's history has been a 1 time opportunity it goes without saying a more active brain storming area or opportunities can be given to add more events to the game. Yeah Plague Start and the Ghoul Bounties are fresh in the event area; but after the Prime Vault, the new Warframe Kohra, and few other anticipated updates the Event calender will run empty for some time. Perhaps this late spring and in the middle of the fall where new quests and content are to be added. 

   Why it matters is because there would be long stretches of days from the weeks when there wasn't a event or a returning one at least to keep the excitement going. 2016 was impressive with Shadow Debt, the Tenno Con missions that included that survival mission against level 9999 enemies, and the Halloween Event against the Juggernaut. This was part of the Vigor that helped the players see Warframe for the experience as a product. 

   On the flip side that enthusiasm started to wind down by Pacifism Defect where groups were hotly contested for the Ignis Wrath, which was great when Banshee Prime was released. The unintentional abstract perspectives were considered when it came to winding down some of the great Primes before vaulting and debuffing Warframes and weapons agressively. This really changed the tone of the game to many of the crowds. Fun was found in the time, effort, and investment into the gameplay that not only made the game fun; but also proved rewarding when playing the events. A aggressivey debuffed Tonkor among other weapons reflected harshly to some crowds that struggled to adapt for 1000+ points attempts in Pacifism Defect. This fun was overshadowed by the debuffs and reworks prior to it. The focus of fun is not just the moment that happens which  forges it temporally; but in the ripples that affect it.

   Where this goes is to the purpose of fun being explored for the purpose of fun it's self. Events come up with different challenges and storyline when they are put into the game; but there should be no glass celling that keeps the roof from being raised. Imagination in the different events can be brought forth to keep the fun going; so players can enjoy the experience and the community can continue in a upbeat mold. This would make the angry FPS players think twice about nerfing the guy next to them for a better chance at MVP of the mission. Also the focus on fun events next to the events that cover the game's story have a positive effect as it has; so the Razorbacks and Fomorian isn't recycled every few months while the players wait for Exaclibur Umbra and other content. A new event that can be added would be a fun event focused on drawing out the Stalker each mission to fight them. The spawn would be triggered at the end of each interception wave as it would (jokingly speaking) cause the Stalker to loose connection to the Kubrow and Lab at videos that they are watching when they aren't out for vengeance. That new event as a example would entertain the community and be great for new upgrades as well as to use up all of those Stalker bounties that have been sitting there.
