Suggestion: How about a Summer Event?

bberge1701bberge1701 Member Posts: 726 Bug Hunter
As I was running around the Winter Wonderland, I was picturing a summer version: swimming in the lake instead of skating on it, palm trees instead of evergreens, sand instead of snow. Instead of winter jackets and eggnog, the vendor would be selling swimsuits and tropical umbrella drinks. Swim fins in place of frosted boots! Q in bermuda shorts! ... hold on, maybe not. :D

C'mon, who's with me? Cryptic, make it so!

    I was thinking the same thing, except put it on Risa. That way there will be a reason to go there.

    Why have Q in it messing it up spreading his evil

    why not just have a "shore leave" area

    Hm... Ok let's think... we could have a swimming race with summer Epohhs (imagine, coconut epohh with swim goggles, and sand colored epohh with a beach ball!) as PvP reward... and for PvNPC, and let's see... what race likes heat/water... (Breen for winter cuz they lurv z coldness...) hm...

    I got it! Aquatic Xindi Ship was the race reward! But which one to use... not that uber dreadnought, that's too powerful... maybe one of their science ships (we need more of those anyways, esp KDF which is starved of true science ships).

    With that in mind, I approve!
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    Definitely on Risa.

    I posted this in another thread before:
    As for the Risa thing, Summer would be a great time for this event. I agree. Possibly even put in a fishing contest? Building sandcastles? Something simple. Volleyball would be great, but that's a large mechanic to add in, so I'm not even expecting anything from that suggestion.

    I still stick by it.

    Adding Q into the equation would a nice touch, though. With Q, you don't need to worry about anything canon, because he can do whatever he wants. Therefore, the Devs can do whatever they want to do in a Q environment. They could have a big boss fight with the Loch Ness Monster, for example. It doesn't matter when you use Q.

    If there was a summer event, it would have to take place on Risa. It only makes sense. Also, the map is already made, which means utilizing less development time.

    Honestly, While I would love a summer event, I understand there are restrictions that might be holding cryptic back.

    As I recall, one of the reasons we don't have swimwear on Risa, is CBS is adamant that swimwear be restricted Risa and Risa ONLY.

    Now with the Winter Event and having the snow guns restricted only to the winter wonderland, it is possible they now have the tech to make it happen, If so, I would love a Summer Event, not to mention a Risa revamp to make it worth going to.

    This. It'd be nice to have a bunch of special summer duty officer assignments aimed at boosting morale; the current "morale boost" things don't seem to have any real effect, but some bonuses on critical success could make morale a worthwhile thing to focus on over summer.


    Oh and Borg cube for a summer event unlockable ship ;)
    Okay, maybe not, but something would be nice. More special events in general would be nice.

    ~Q ruined the winter event by being there

    we don't need Q

    we don't need boss fights

    how about beach volleyball
    How about swimming
    How about surfing ?
    Frizbee?

    I will never understand the hatred for Q, I think he is a great character and as a once in a while thing, and interesting thing. I am not taking once a month thing either, but a winter, anniversary, and summer event is hardly too much.

    Likewise, I enjoy the Snow Fight, and lets be honest, it isn't overly difficult, just a fun little romp during the holidays. As for a summer equivalent, I don't really know what you would do, but I am sure cryptic could think of something.

    A holiday is time off from fighting and annoyance

    and Q is an annoyance

    Looks like there will be a summer event after all:

    Q: (maddinm214) When will social zones receive an update?

    Dstahl: With the success of the New Romulus and Tholian Adventure Zones, we are looking to go back to our existing social zones and give them a similar treatment. One of the zones being thrown about for a possible Springtime or Summer event is to have it take place on Risa or somewhere similar where all factions could enjoy some fun in the sun.



    Aint that nice that DEVs are listening to players. Congratulations for making a change from what this would have been non issue 3 years ago. Nice to see that you guys can make a difference.

    Looking forward for bikinis but not speedos at Risa :cool:
