As someone who complains a fair bit about the state of the game, I wanted to just tip my hat to BSG for this event and put some positive feedback out there.
As someone who is mostly a power-leveled PMC who likes to chase PVP action this is exactly the type of event that can spice up late wipe experience for me. It pushes people to a consistent location where chaos is almost guaranteed- whether you scav in or play a PMC, running towards stronghold will grant you an action packed experience. It gives the players with gear to burn a place to go, and those looking to pick some scraps a place to find them. It is such a simple event yet it is having such a positive impact on the game (IMO).
I think the 100 percent spawn rate is a big factor in the overall success of this event because it provides a consistent hotspot. Its also not mandatory to go there, I have been noticing some people avoiding the action and roubling it up at dorms or stash running. It really seems like a perfect way to spice the game up without forcing unnecessary suffering onto the entire player base like the Halloween event which i did not participate in. I realize that the events are "tests" so I want to give two thumbs up for this one.
