The other issue console has is the lack of debuff visuals, such as the root bar, so when you have the 3, 2, 1, go you have to guess when you are actually allowed to go since the "go" doesnt coincide with when the root drops off and simply pre-emptively moving forwards does nothing as you're rooted for an indeterminate time.
I used up some lobi to speed the process a little with the race. As for the race it seems to glitch and forget to give me an opponent a lot of the time so I can jog around the course. I like fishing and the snowball fight but aside from the race I'm done with the event really. Nothing else I really want from it to warrant playing it.
The ONLY reason I attend the Winter event is for the ship and the Eppohs. I turn those little [REDACTED] into marks. The Ship is easy. I've got my own method for the race (NANI!? KANSEI DORIFUTO!?). But the Eppohs? WHY OH WHY did you change the schedule? Waiting 90 minutes to get 4 tags is not a good thing! Especially when you need 6 of the [REDACTED] things to get an Eppoh! We NEED a way to purchase tags for the winter event, and I'd love one for the summer event too! Let us buy tags with ornaments/favors. Please! Ornaments/Favors are easily available by completing in game events so we'd have a reason to stick around in game for more than 5 minutes. Add an additional in game reward for the in game races and you've got a guaranteed winner!

Admittedly I know nothing about consoles, however it should be possible (as on PC) to select running right away. That way, you'll start moving as soon as the root goes away.

Why have you stopped give the 400 vouchers on the first race????
This game is sooooo blooody grindy! It is really not fair. It is killing me. Most of my fleet members are so grinded out still fro the Mirror Event... Why would you take that away???
It really takes away a large portion of the fun... this game is becoming a real pain... you need to look for ways to make it NO AS GRINDY. I run 3 fleets and almost all my members have just stopped playing it. I don't ujnderstand what you are thinking but the decisions you have made in the last year have been really poor. All the events since the season 13 nerf have been like this... at this point i can't take it anymore. It is stuff like this that make this game so crappy.

OK, I've decided that I seriously need some snowpants to match these jackets, because it's impossible to match the colors of the Winter Jackets. That, or finally open up the color palette on ALL costume pieces across all Factions.

I would like to see the competitive race run a little more frequently than twice in 90 minutes. I just wish more people would participate in the Tides of Ice and Cones of Conduct. When you have a good number of people, it is so much more fun than just by yourself or with one other person (though in 'Tides' sometimes going solo can be fun too!)
Overall, I enjoy the Winter Event very much.
Ancient Vulcan proverb: "If you are what you eat, then 'Jerk' must be a very popular food on Earth"
Was the attack range of the epohh female vocal screeching given a stealth buff over the weekend?
Before I was able to linger around the miniQ and only have to put up with the ferengi looping way too often but today it seems like its no longer possible to do so and avoid the auditory assault from them both.
Played the lane defense thing a bit over the weekend and it does give the impression that yet again the devs did the spawn rate based off the assumption that everyone in that instance of the map would be over there shooting at them. Having a dozen spawn and pelt you to death before you can get a shot off isn't fun or challenging, its tedious, especially for the pittance of a reward given out at the end.
Krampiri on console once again highlights the bad controls as to open the present you have to aim straight up in order to interact with the damn thing. Fishing has the same issue with how you dump the fish into the bowl. As does the daily race npc who doesn't give the interact if you're aiming at him. And of course the other control foible of aimed shooting still insists on targetting either friendlies or things that are on the other side of buildings or 100m+ away.
I enjoyed Q's Winter Wonderland last year, and I do so this year, too.
What I don't like is the pop-up window when the Kramp'Ihri event ends, especially when I'm in the middle of the race for the ship. As I obviously didn't participate I'm not interested in the information given there.
I, too, would like to see the competitive race more often, especially as I sometimes can't join the 2nd race.

Yeah, got the Tulaberry Jacket and the color matches nothing I can do for pants.

Yeah, even with some of the additional color options that we have with the Discovery uniform, you can't match the colors up.

Generally, you have to wear the bright winter coats with either black or white, the only pants that have a palette to match them at all are the lukari armor pants, which have a totally incompatible plastic-y texture.
For the tulaberry, the closest I've got was Starfleet Duelist armor pants with colors set to S11 and B23. The blue isn't exactly the same but close enough to not be obvious under most lighting, at least on my computer. Could also try B17.
But yeah, they should totally have wide-color palettes for all clothing.
well, in the daily race, it seems the NPC's can take 4-6 steps for everyone my character takes.. makes it almost impossible to beat them... and they say if you lose some many times in a row you get to solo it.. I've run over 3 hours, several times, without it letting me solo once.. but plenty of times it fails to teleport me to the start of the race, and auto-fails.
They don't attack unless you have NO opponent, then they will.

Not being teleported sounds like the long running glitch/bug that people abuse to troll others. Try swapping to a lower population zone or making sure there's noone around the race guy when you talk to him.
The NPC cheats, no so much in the number of paces they take but in the way that the ice doesn't have any effect on them. It's done on purpose as without it they'd probably go sliding out of bounds at the first bend due to sto's ai being pretty dodgy when it comes to path finding.
Like many people I am not a fan of the way the Kramp announcer blocks the screen with big annoying announcements even if fly-in notifications are disabled. I'll live with the fact that some announcers I enjoy (Klingon Ice Fishing is the best) and some I despise. "We're imperialist colonizers who have forced out an indigenous species. Now they are mad and we need your help!"
I think this was the theme of at least a few TNG stories. Maybe that's the point but give the snowmen some respect next year! AND they get assimilated on top of everything else. Lose their home, get assimilated by the Borg, and have everyone hold a party in your house and never leave. The snowmen get a pretty raw deal, even compared to the Romulans. No wonder they are POed. You'd be too!
I'm being very tongue-in-cheek there (mostly) since the summer and winter events have absolutely no connection to in game continuity. I'm sure none of it actually exists other than in Q's imagination.
I have always seen an NPC opponent but have not been bested. One time a spider got the jump on me at the start as the game did not pick up my Shift+W at first. By the first turn I was back in the lead.

I keep thinking the same thing every time I hear their whinging... I wonder if that's why I only tried that particular event like once years ago.
