Why does (nearly) everyone face in the same direction at the Risa dance event? It looks a bit ridiculous!

    Because everyone is facing the dance instructor. They're basically RP'ing a dance class.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Because most people come in from the direction of the resort teleport, which naturally leaves them facing the same way unless they manually turn their toons to face somewhere else (for which there is no gameplay reason).

    A lot of people do just that. Turn around, I mean. I'm genuinely curious as to why.

    and drinking contests.

    and maybe a barfight zone, where all your weapons are disabled except for risa/social-zone only items like bottles, chairs, etc...

    That's a whole different subject.

    I hear no complaints when I stand up RIGHT in front of everyone else and sake mah sexy scaly booty 'n' tail!

    Then again, when I turn around when the dancing it over, everyone's gone. * dramatic music *

    * puts on Deerstalker hat and gently blows on a bubble pipe * Truly a mystery, wrapped in a enigma, contained in a soft coating that won't melt in your paw...........Iconian's I tells ya!

    That or...........I'm just to awesome that no one can handle meh!

    We'll never know.......

    or it might have something to do with the fact that you don't wear pants and scare everyone away​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    What would the feds do then ? Drinking, bardancing, and hand-to-hand combat is a very Klingon activity.

    same reason why people face the closest door to an elevator...

    early tng and sto feds, probably not. the rest... I wouldn't be surpised if they started it.

    This would be a perfect addition to Nimbus.

    I would love to see a water fight like in the summer event on Neverwinter. Prizes awarded based on number of players you knock down. Locate it in one of the bay areas on the map and your golden.

    Because it would be weird to stare another in the face? I dance on the pillars anyway.

    Actually, there is a very logical reason this happens. Some people play with their emotes "channel" still enabled, and their volume turned low. When this happens, it is possible to miss what the dance instructor says to do, and not all the emotes showing will be the correct ones (yes I've seen man people just dancing whatever to dance whatever and not caring about the dances called). When all these things are happening, the only really reliable way to know for sure which dance was called is to look at the dance instructor and see what they are doing.​​

    Well, there is that message box that pops in when a different dance is called.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I confess, I love the dance party. Some people are so much better at using the Tailor than I am...

    Really? I always go nose to nose with the pole because I don't want to see other players polluting my screen. Between the dreadful voiceover and the notification on the right it's pretty obvious which dance is required. The sole point of confusion is when you're told 'Just Dance'. I think that's a requirement for Dance_Mix with other dances not triggering the count but I'm not positive.

    An interesting opinion for someone who plays an MMO, a game which is designed for a multiplayer experience...
