If things are bound only to Risa...

So, if swimwear is bound to Risa only. Then please for the love of god lower the prices on the outfits! Same for all the other bound items you can get.

Another idea I had was, with the huge cost and the fact that most of the cool things are only on Risa. How about give us an account daily to get like 20 or 50 favors when the event is not around? It would take a week or 2 to get a high end item and would give Risa some more purpose when the event is not in full swing. Then we could use our bound items more often. :)

    Sorry, that ship sailed when the event came and went with 1000-LOLnut-favor Superior Floaters only usable on Risa.

    The price reduction I know isnt happening.. That was more a wish than anything. But the account daily for like 20 favors sounds like a really good idea for me as a way to draw people back to the map and it is a nice grind that Cryptic likes.

    Ok, come on. Lets not let this thread dive into that debate. :S What do you guys think of the account daily idea?

    A little... Or rather, not so little something I posted on a similar thread in the Tribble forums:
    dinoyipi wrote: »
    On the one hand, I really do not want to see swimsuits wherever I go to an even greater degree than I do now due to Orions, so I must say I agree with Cryptic's decision as it stands. On the other hand, I can see how many see it as unfair that swimsuits will be restricted to a single, seldom-visited map. So here's my 2 latinum slips on how to compromise: Expand Risa.

    First, allow Klingons to access Risa year-round (This would be easy to justify in-universe if the rumors of S9 ending the Fed-KDF war are true.) Then, give it more content that can be accessed year-round. If you give Risa more exclusive content that will draw players to visit more often, they won't feel as cheated buying Risa-exclusive swimsuits, because they'll have more opportunities to wear them.

    Maybe Risa could be given a true "vacation destination" atmosphere, by having activities that can be repeated every so-often that give substantial rewards. A basic, unrefined example: there could be a floater game that gives a lump sum of Dilithium, that can be completed anywhere from once a week to once a month. Sort of like the new Weekend Events in terms of frequency, but can be played at the player's leisure, instead of "We're going to give you these bonus rewards if you play between X and Y, and if you miss it, too bad so sad."
    By extension, I think this is a good way to make that grind seem less useless.
    For personal reasons, I've left Star Trek Online.

    I've got a little over 4000 LOLnut favors sitting in my bank at the moment. Need I elaborate further?

    The only way the account daily would meet your claim of being "a nice grind that Cryptic likes" would be for them to continually add items to the store, thus providing motivation for people (other than Exchange traders) to actually do it. And the aforementioned Exchange traders, I suspect, would rather stick with the status quo where they farm hard during the LOLnut Festival and then sell bathing suits 6 months out from the festival when (some) people will pay through the nose.

    Not really seeing anything here, aside from a slight annoyance to the Ferengi in the player base. -shrug-

    You are speculating on something that was leaked, and not intended to be seen yet. Maybe the prices were placeholders, we have no idea. Maybe they increased the rewards.
    You should wait before complaining.

    The internet has ruined me, because there is just something 'not right' with that statement ... Lolz

    And don't worry, the new [redacted] appearing on [redacted] for the upcoming [redacted] will probably be purchased with [redacted] available through a [redacted] mission.
    Oh, hoho hohhhhh, Oh,, hoho, hohhhhh

    event is due out in a few months, of the content seens is likely ready and set to go, but the small stuff could be altered in advance, time and permission permitting i would assume.

    wonder what ths years event will bring, didnt do last years because it was just another escort, two canoes strapped to a cockpit with a hippie vw van color scheme. nothing special there.

    You may have thousands, but I don't and neither do my group of friends. Last event I was working a job and was unable to grind as much as I could have. Just because you have all you need doesn't mean everyone else on the planet does to.

    Aww, but I love that corvette.


    It may well be just another escort, but it does have something that very few ships in game have.........its outright fun to fly.

    And mine plays Barry Manilow on a loop......

    2000 loli favors for a top-of-the-line rocket [redacted] according to the leak seems over the top if you ask me.. 1000 for a superior floater last year was already grindy enough..

    I would be in favor of an account daily as suggested so there's a way to earn the things during the rest of the year, albeit at a severely restricted pace. Sometimes my captain wants to vacation to a beach resort in December okay? :p

    No we should not. We should complain now while Cryptic is still working on it, so they have enough time to change their minds, and make swimsuits available year round like they should.

    Honestly, it will the same result for me. I dont care even if the outfits are free, if i can only wear em on Risa. Its stupid. Imma not going to wear the outfit for 10 minutes to do an event on Risa and thats it.. (cuz of course, i never visit Risa if it is not because an event..).

    Ah, but nobody has been begging "Please make winter coats available all the time via the store Cryptic!" Obvious reason as to why.
