Next summer event needs more stuff

magnumstarmagnumstar Member Posts: 269 Arc User
So I've been doing the summer event on Risa and can't help but see some stuff that should be added next year.

Speedos - I need a speedo for my Orion male and a wiggle, wiggle, wiggle dance emote so I can be just as sexy and provocative as the Orion females.

Fishing - Whenever I visit a seaside resort I do a lot of fishing. Would be cool if we could go out and catch some strange Risan fish. Maybe add some dangerous fishing trips - I'm not talking about chasing tommy cats but sharkin for a livin!"

Diving - This would be something cool to do on Risa, explore reefs, study strange and exotic sea life, etc. Could have a suit, tank, and underwater floater. Add some harpoon action in this and some dangerous sea critters.

Sea Monster hunt - Maybe Risa has there own version on the Loch Ness monster that we could locate and trap.

Boating - Like the floaters we could get boats and explore islands farther out. I'd like to see different types of crafts from speed boats to large party boats that we can bring friends along for the ride.

That's a few of my suggestions what would you like to see in the next summer event?

    The diving thing would be an adapted jet pack.


    And it would be a great way to add in an "extra pearls" mini-game.


    Just dive and hunt for Risan Oysters which can contain anything from random consumables (Lost from previous visitors at Risa) to Favors or Pearls.

    Something with sand-castles or sand-sculptures -- even if just a an area of permanent works; or have NPCs start building them in the morning and the evening tides wash them away.

    Borrow & tweak more polynesian / micronesian / hawaiian / tropical memes for a Luau area with fire-dancers, hot-coal walking, limbo, sacrifices to the volatile volcano-tiki god, cliff-diving, a water-park, and/or whatever else.

    PvP contests (not direct combat) are good, maybe catching fireflies on a timer vs other players, or a surfing contest mini-game. The sacrifice-to-appease-the-volcano bit could even be a teams vs teams mini-game -- drop various items into the fire to advance your teams score; event related objects can be had for play-time effort, but other items count as well. Prizes get bigger as more sacrifices are made.

    Mentioned in another thread; more locations -- if the Corvette is going to be showcased, then let us party on the outer hull. Maybe have several (slightly differently focused themes) islands, with a 'shuttle service' between them. Keep the locations open after most of the events end; events can temporarily return occasionally 'off-season' with payouts and entry fees in GPL.

    I really like the idea of keeping both Risa maps; the old one will certainly need updating to bring it into line with the new one and to allow floater usage. Once that is done, Cryptic already has two islands in the Risa archipelago -- add shuttle service, and expand to new maps as able.

    Just a few silly concepts; hope some of them are helpful.

    Agree with the Corvette thing.. It does seem a bit daft to show it in the distance and not let us take a good look at the thing.. It may inspire people who want one to stick around as tbh Im already a bit bored of Risa..

    i was thinking something similar

    -- also why not some PvP, but instead of phasers and grenades, we get water guns and water balloons (balloons free from buckets, a variety of water guns (rifle, dual pistols, multi stream rifle, water balloon launcher, constant stream "minigun", etc. ) for favors
    all of it could be enacted in a huge sand castle on a remote beach, or on other parts of the resort, winning team getting a med/large amount of GPL and favors, losing team getting a small amount of the same.

    -- definitely need some clothing options for men and women, those NPC swimsuits would be awesome, one pieces and bikini's for the women (my main ferasan KDF captain would look awesome in a one piece :) ) and speedos and board shorts for the men (if speedos are good enough for Picard, why not players?)
    could also give some hawaiian shirts, harry kim, tom paris, and trip tucker (don't hate on Enterprise now :P ) all wore them. maybe some sarongs for the ladies.
    and for the love of all that is Trek, give us some flip flops, not everyone has thick scaly soles like the Gorn, that sand is hot on my kitteh paws :P

    -- the diving sounds intriguing, maybe buy a diving outfit that works like an enviro suit, with an underwater version of a floater, which was already mentioned. have it though that you don't need a 'scubafloater', but 'scubafloaters' make it faster to get around underwater. this could also introduce more clothing options you can buy from the event, maybe a diving knife strapped to the thigh, a suit a la Tomb Raider Diving Suit, maybe others idk

    -- a pvp floater race, but you have to queue for it from a racing NPC and you can only enter for the quality floater you own/have equipped, so no Superior floaters spanking the competition who all have Standard floaters (of course rentals don't apply, you'd have to own the floater)

    -- oh and as an addendum to the water guns, why not have Q crash the party and throw a PvE against sand creatures at the players, with their water guns being the only thing able to stop them, with a final huge dragon like sand monster as a boss (more favors for everyone! :D )
    (and if Q does show up, he should totally change from his robes into a Mankini, to which the player would be able to say Aauugh! My Eyes!, Q responding "I know, it's hard to look on perfection isn't it?" and change into more appropriate beachwear but with his headdress thing still on)

    just a few ideas i have, and have modified from existing ideas in this thread
