Risians are welcoming back visitors this year with a bounty of new rewards and activities. The sun is out, the water is warm, and the natives are inviting! Join in on exciting events around Risa to earn Lohlunat Favors that can be traded in for cool gear like swimwear or powerboards! Come enjoy your stay on Risa with these exciting additions this summer!
In the linky-linked Blog there is this statement in the description of the new Powerboards:
"Please note: this type of technology is meant only for the party shores of Risa!"
A similar disclaimer does not appear under the Floaters.
Will we be using the Floaters outside of the Summer Event?
NO to ARC RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
Thank you for introducing Hoverboard races against other players.
The Fast and Flurrious race against other players was what I enjoyed most about the Winter Event. Last year's Summer event felt a bit empty - the solo jetpack stuff was enjoyable, but soon became dull without being able to race others.

Wow, talk about sexism and pandering to the same players who have to have very pink/pale skinned orion women in barely any clothing. :rolleyes:
I'm highly skeptical of this summer event, considering it seems to be including a race event which includes an item, that if people get better than you you need to pay to be able to get the item to catch up...
The description suggests a competitive race, similar to Fast and Flurrious. Only this time you need an item to participate and can get a better version of it by grinding. I really find it disappointing that Cryptic decided to add a P2W (or grind to win) element to a summer event.
I just reread it and it does say "Race against your fellow Captains around the island", so it looks like you're right. I don't really have a problem with that depending on how the rewards are handed out and how easy it is to get a superior board.

A woman's TRIBBLE are considered a secondary sex characteristic. A man's chest is not considered to have such a characteristic. This is why men may be topless and women wear a top.
Beards are considered a secondary sex characteristic, too. Yet men don't have to wear masks.

I don't mind as long as it's not the only way to get the ships. I hate doing PVP material. And the Winter Events race sucked for me. Whiched kept me from getting those ships. So I can only hope that the Luxury Cruiser doesn't require me to beat other players to get it. I am fine with floater courses to get it.

Beards are also uninvolved in the reproductive cycle. Last I checked beards don't produce milk to feed newborn infants. Human body parts directly related with reproduction are covered with clothing because they are considered to be intimate areas.

I didn't realize butts were directly related with reproduction. Learn something everyday!

From what I understand you don't get the pearls for the ships from the hoverboard race, but still from the same jet daily.
That hoverboard race sounds annoying in that it only happens once every 30 minutes. The question is, do I have to win it to get something worthwhile out of it ?
I noticed, once again, that the men have very limited options. Why do the women get bikini swimwear and the men do not? I've seen the Risan men wearing them. Thought sure this would be an option for the guys this year.
I'm wondering, what is the point of grinding like crazy to get swimwear if the only place that allows me to wear it is empty outside of the event. If there was at least something to do on Risa during the rest of the year....

So if a woman chooses to bottle feed her baby, does that mean she can walk around topless but the bottle better be covered up? Human taboos are so complicated.

The winter event race that gave you the Portraits for the ships was not PvP, it was just a lap around the course vs a PvE critter that didn't even try to win. It should not have prevented you from getting the ship. The equivalent in the summer event is the floater challenge, which is also not PvP.
The PvP race was for bunny tags, and you got some even if you lost the race - just not as much. The summer version will be for monkey tags and work the same way presumably.
Beards are also uninvolved in the reproductive cycle. Last I checked beards don't produce milk to feed newborn infants. Human body parts directly related with reproduction are covered with clothing because they are considered to be intimate areas.
And yet we consider it taboo to even allow women to USE those TRIBBLE to feed said newborn infants in public. All game TRIBBLE aside, we really do need to stop living in the Victorian age (and, yeah, it was considered OK to breast feed in public up to the mid 19th century) and let women decide what they do with their own bodies.
....Seriously? We're debating on if women should roam around topless in an MMO?
Yeah lets move on from this subject it's just not going to happen.

I'm going to be completely honest and say that I want a Picard-style open bathrobe and speedo, and a Borat mankini.
Otherwise, this all looks fun.
And still looking forward to devs/GMs answering questions and clarifying things. And overall just looking forward to more information.

Sorry to have mislead you, I know the that the Winter race was not PVP. But it was a race that I just could not do. And because I could never master it, I never got any of the portraits. And with no portraits comes no ship. And that's why I said it really sucked.
It was a race against an NPC, which you got nothing if you lost or went out of bounds. I never could win. So I quit doing it. I wasn't having fun always losing and never getting any better. And since it was the only way to win the portraits, it kept me from getting the ship. That race is just not in my skill set for some reason.
I just am hoping that this style of racing or anything PVP does not control my ability to get the things I need to get the ship is all. I hate the Winter Event for this very reason.

Can you tell us, besides the Feather Monkey pets, what are they used for?

This sums it up quite nicely for the moment (notice that female options would still outnumber male 11/5):
