I wish the sand castles and powerboard gave more favors so they were worth doing. Also would like to be able to trade in birds or eggs for favors instead of marks.
No way ,that would cut the grind and roleplayers would run out of things to do.:rolleyes:
So, I have been thinking about the swimwear and how it was impemented into the game.
They decided to limit the use of swimwear to Risa and made an additional outfit category for it too. Now I personally find the swimwear to be quite expensive for such limited use.
Not to mention that it is quite odd to allow every "inappropriate" off-duty item to be used everywhere but somehow draw the line at swimwear that is not even more revealing than some other clothing options in the game.
I would like a little consistency when it comes to handling off-duty items. Make all of them wearable only on social maps, meaning all maps except mission/combat maps. That should apply to swimwear too. If some people want to run around on DS9 in swimwear, let them for Q's sake.
Other games haven't imploded for not having limitations on even the silliest outfits. For example, in The Secret World you can freely run around in just a Speedo and a Jester's Cap, fighting zombies, werewolves, demons and people with automated guns. The world hasn't ended yet.
It is also sad that outside of the event, KDF characters have no maps to use their expensive swimwear on, while Fed characters can at least stand around on Risa with nothing to do (Yay, nothing !).
Agreed entirely. Heck the Klingons need their own vacation resort, perhaps a tropical jungle world, or something like the Predator's game reserve planet. At least a neutral planet that all three sides can go to.
The swimwear restrictions have no useful purpose in the grand scheme of the game itself, it is arbitrary in the extreme.
Are the sand castle buildings timed? I tried building a couple of times during the event this morning and it failed on the second building part each time. I gave up! A daily race to grind for pearls with the hoverboards would have been nice. The PvP hoverboard race also seems a bit unfair to those who don't have thet ime to grind out 1000 favors to get the high end board. The flying around things from last year are okay but a bit of variety wouldn't hurt. There is so much empty beach around the main island and yet the sand castle building spots are only around the resorts. I hope they add more of these.
Yes, after you get your first full pail of sand it's about 2 minutes 30 seconds I think.
And if there will be things that come up to impede the building such as bugs that attract birds that will knock your sculpture over, water poolin underneath the foundation, and a stupid monkey with bad intentions.
I wish the sand castles and powerboard gave more favors so they were worth doing. Also would like to be able to trade in birds or eggs for favors instead of marks.
Agreed completely. I also wish they would restore the twice an hour dance and Horgahn Hunt.
They didn't need to crank the grind to the moon, for crying out loud they tripled the things you can buy in the rep store with the swimsuits alone. Then they turned around and halved the available rewards. It would be cool if they had added doff missions like the winter event.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Wa waa, wa wawa waa wa wa wa waawa wawa waa wa wa.:rolleyes:
I think the universal translator is broken...
Back on topic though. I think some of the design choices (discount on event rewards for people that have already completed them, emphasis on fun over flavor, centering activities on showcasing the entire environment in some way) the devs made putting this event together are steps in the right direction and are a subtle indication that they do in fact listen to us. As players I know we ask for a lot even it may not always seem like we do, but all things considered most of us get enough of the things we need to keep the experience engaging. So thank you, from the contented, yet largely silent segments of the community.
Agreed entirely. Heck the Klingons need their own vacation resort, perhaps a tropical jungle world, or something like the Predator's game reserve planet. At least a neutral planet that all three sides can go to.
Personally a jungle world that was an open PvP ground planet with Hirogen and assorted others could be a fun time IMO. This "Alpha" mission could be copied as a place to start, even possibly add the space region as another space PvP map with randomly spawned enemies to mix it up.

My ideal Risian schedule of events would be:
Horgna'hn Hunt 2 times per hour [chance to obtain a monkey tag added] Hoverboard race 2x per hour [chance to obtain a bird egg added to final loot at end of race] Dance contest 2x per hour [Allow additional dance emotes to be unlocked if you have complete Samba Master accolade] Sandcastle building event 2x per hour [more locations added to map, chance to obtain a monkey tag/bird egg added, mark increase to 10 for non event, 50 for event special]
Floater race course 2x per hour [add a course that circles and twists through the island where you have to go thru the gates same as pearl course, loot drops can include tags, eggs, favors]
Water Balloon fight area [add consumable water balloons as a purchase option for gpl]
Everyone gets to do something even if events overlap some enjoy certain events more than others more chances to earn favors the way you want to relax on Risa.
PS I'm loving the alt ship discount and hope it carries forward to other events, i shall have earned 52 Risian cruisers and Corvettes by end of the event for my ship collection.

And for the RPers, I'd have no problem limiting them to use on Risa only, but I'd much prefer to use them on the bridge of my own ship too (same with swimsuits, floaters, etc.).

For the Klingons, they should have a simultaneous event on Boreth. A warrior's festival with targ hunting to replace the horgan hunt, battleth matches to replace the surf competition, and perhaps Klingon opera performance that you can participate in using emotes, and a drinking contest. Ornamental armor pieces and weaponry can be the prizes, and we can breed targs and grishnar cats instead of monkeys and birds.
That sounds like a Klingon vacation to me!
Nothing breaks the tension better than a tankard of warnog - except maybe a good brawl...

Make it so , Number one.
Whether you think you are right or wrong, either way you are RIGHT.
It's a great idea for Klingons, not so much for the other species in the KDF.
And Cryptic won't possibly expend all the resources needed to seggregate the player base.
Problem is, KDF players do not have access to Risa except once per year. And Risa is not exactly a Klingon kind of place anyway. I personally think they have alread segregated the population by neglecting KDF players enough. They might actually gain some KDF players with something that makes them FEEL like they are playing as a Klingon, Gorn, or Nausiccan instead of licking up the scraps that fall from the Federation table.
By all means allow Fed officers to visit for that one month, just like Klingons have to do with Risa.

The bad thing is that there isn't anything to do on Risa outside of the event. You can just stand around....
You have 3 ship Atrium selections, Forest, Islands, or Blast Doors
We were unable create a custom bridge for the summer ships, much to the dismay of the entire team. Things happen.
You have two alternate part options for many parts of the ship, missionpod/smokestack, 1 bottom ring/2 bottom rings, 2 engines/3 engines, double stanchion/regular stanchion, etc.
The ship shares all of the crazy custom color choices of the Corvette created by Adam, you can fly around in your own hot pink ship if you want! I even divided the ship up into many different parts so that you can have even more customization.
The Atrium forcefield is tied to your glowy bits color choices(thank Jamz for that), there are 8 unique forcefield patterns.
There is no playable custom interior space for the forest/islands. That would be an incredible amount of work, and this ship was already tons of work to begin with.
The ship's sails animate when in sector space, they open up to reveal sails along with the rear 'rudder'.
Any other questions, within reason, and I will try to answer.
Thanks, and I hope you guys enjoy your time on Risa, I'll see you there!

So...how come others can kick down my sandcastles but I can't kick down any at all?
You get accolades for building sand castles.. Once you build five castles (and get the Savant accolade), you'll be able to knock down castles (after they've been up for ~1min).

Cryptic HIRE THIS MAN!
Or at least steal his ideas.
I'm like this, at least generate enough events with decent rewards that you have a choice. Sand castle building is very easy but with a pittance of a reward and no opportunity to redo it for quantity. Have one event that is easy and gives decent rewards and have another event that is relatively hard (not too hard it's vacation) that has an excellent payout for each time period.
But no purchasing water ballons for GPL, do it like a real water balloon fight. Have people have to rush back to a single location to pick up more. Put a tower in there so you can bomb people from above. Rework the flamethrower mechanic to make a water hose and water gun. The more people you soak the more favors you get, Nobody loses just like a real water fight.

Boreth? Man that's cold. Why not invite everyone to Boreth for the winter event? Klingons don't love the cold, their homeworld is pretty balmy as I recall.
I don't know, Klingons don't particularly love the cold. Having an event at Boreth is like having a party at The Vatican. Although if there's a massive indoor heated pool and sauna that we could use our Risan swimsuits on I'm all in.
I think the better place would be Forcas III where the Imperial Bat'leth Championships are held. That's like a party at the Superbowl. Your rewards ideas are spot on though.
I wouldn't want a Bat'leth competition unless they could reach some epic tier PvP bat'leth combat like Bushido Blade awesome.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
I'm enjoying this event so far. My favorite is the dance event, it's fun to see all the different people dancing around together. It often makes me laugh that everyone is facing the same direction, to the Dance Instructors, so it looks like a massive dance lesson.
And the Floater course is fun too, I wish I could do that more than once a day! (Not necessarily for pearls.)
Only complaint I really have is that the sandcastles are worth so little, and that there are so few places to build them. I enjoy making them though, I think it's hilarious that we have all these badass starship captains and admirals running around on the beach building sandcastles. xD But I think it's odd that the flags are set up next to the castles instead of on the top! And that Rommies are building Klingon monuments instead of Romulan, even the Fed ones.
I also wish for a speedo for the men, I don't think there is one. I want my dude to be just as skimpy as the women!
This was on Maranga IV, it's a lot of pagentry like a Renaissance festival with reenactments, which would make for a great mission, a twenty man ground PvE simulation of the forces of Molor. Since it was a great war the Dev team can invent a battle for their own handcrafted piece of Klingon history.
Reenactments of Kahless vs Molor at the River Skral, and you get rewarded based on how well you reenact and also how much flourish you put on. It could work.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
First I'll say that even with my few complaints about the Risa event, overall it is still enjoyable and can be profitable.
But I don't get the powerboard/monkey tags race. Can you imagine a racecar driver having to STOP and grab the checkered flag in order to be considered the winner? Who's brainstorm was this? :rolleyes: And someone else likely had to approve it before it was implemented. That doesn't look good for the collective intelligence at Cryptic.
In EVERY form of RACING there is a starting line and a finish line. The starting line is where participants START the race. The first participant to cross the FINISH line WINS!! 2nd to cross gets 2nd place and 3rd to cross gets 3rd....how freaking brilliant is that...and such an easy concept...........ok ok, enough said on that.
Glad to see the fixes that are coming as of today's patch, it will be nice to know exactly when the Hunt, Race and Dance Party actually start!
I would like to see higher rewards on the sand castles or at least a quicker cooldown on the mission. I frankly was tired of the dance party ages ago, so having another way to get favors was great... only to realize I could do fifteen dance moves and make twice the amount for the two runs of the castle I can do during the ENTIRE dance party which gives me far more that running an entire work day of the castle missions.
Also more places for sand castle building. Like maybe around the entire island. Most castle missions should be safe even from people who can knock it down long enough for a site to site transport to the promenade and a run to the mission giver.

Okay, okay, you SOLD ME! lol
Maybe even a form of capture the flag where the flag moves every time someone captures it, probably multiple flags like the horghans, and the more flags you get in the time limit, the more favors you get. All the while battling mythical klingon creatures, like in Worfs training programs.
Or even a gauntlet to play like the flying high mission where you must progress through a lava cave avoiding obstacles before time runs out.
Instead of swimwear, you can get furs and crests and primitive loincloths.
And don't forget the vats of bloodwine!
Nothing breaks the tension better than a tankard of warnog - except maybe a good brawl...
Great job Devs, I'm totally enjoying the Risian summer event!
I'd like the events to happen more often, especially the hunt and floater courses, and to remove the capture the flag ending to the powerboard race but other than that, its a great experience.
Got this ship last night. By far one of the best ships I have flown. I would choose this over all dyson/obelisk ships, dreadnought cruiser, cardassian galor ship, undine bio warships....definitely a top notch ship! Think I found my new favorite ship!
