right now I'm making about 100 favors an hour on Risa... except the decent items are selling for 1000 favors. doing the math, that means it takes 10 hours of grinding Risa to get a purple doff or a floater :eek: :mad: :mad:
I don't remember the winter event vendors being anywhere near as crazy with the prices... and two of the best ways of earning ornaments for the winter event was winter invasion and doffing and risa doesn't have those as options which makes it only worse. anyone who wants more than 1 for alts - forget about it. what's with the inflated prices?

Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
100 an hour? I can get 150-200 off of just the 14 min hunt, by running it on 3-4 toons in the15 minutes

Of course the highest-end items will be expensive.

BTW, the 1000 favor floater is completely worth it. No leftover inertia and very very fast.
yeah, sometimes that 1 loss of a minute is what makes it 3 instead of 4 for me
this endless grind. I just feel these events could be put together a lot better then they are, it's just seems the Dev's took the easy was out on putting these things together. Heck the SOE Dev's could do a lot better.
Before ... qqing, I'd ask myself : Are those purple doffs worth a doff slot ?
this.
and if you don't really want to spent time on Risa, why save up for the VR items? get a rental and sell your favors.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Most of the items we buy with the loltoken are only to be used on Risa, mostly during the event. Grinding 2months for items you won't use afterward, or until the next year, is not that great.
I agree most of them are too expensive for what they are. Bikinis mostly.
Ow, and you gather 100 favors in 1 hour.. imagine the people who cant spend so much time in Risa lol. They will need the entire month and half to gather just 1 swimsuit.. lol.
As i said millions of times in other threads, the winter event was far more friendly than this one. By far. The prices of the Risa event are really abusive, not to mention, you cannot wear swimsuits outside Risa, or use floaters, or watever. That makes the prices EVEN MORE abusive lol.
I loved the winter event, but the summer event is ridiculous. Seriously xD. But i guess kids and other players who like the summer event will never see it in a objective way. And since so many people are ok with the summer event (for unknown reasons..) , we cant expect any tiny changes to it.
But seriously, Ferengi? Expensive? What is expensive, superficial novelty? If you want it, work for it - if you don't, it's not game influencing.
I for one feel relaxed by the change of pace from pew-pew towards working for a orange snowboard by doing relaxing mindless things for a month or so. And yeah, I don't have to have the 'best' everything on every char, I just go with what looks good to me. For example, I'd love to get yellow and green floaters, but they are only availible in 'superior' versions that look ugly to me, so I just stick with the regular ones.
Enjoy. It's a leisure event that people tend to turn into a grind because they overstrain themselves. You really don't have to have everything on every char.
have you ever known a summer holiday resort that doesn't rip you off?
but seriously, I have managed fine with the bog standard board and floater, sure I wont win the race but I will get round the course and that's all you need to do, then again with all the competition its unlikely you will win the race often anyway and you don't get any more for coming 2nd then you do for coming last so who cares, its still fun.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
They don't call them "Tourist traps" for a reason.:D
What do you mean with "enjoy"? lol. The whole point of the event is a) gather the ships b) gather the swimsuits c) gather the pets d) gather the hoverboards or floaters
When people go to risa, those are the things hes going to grind for. I dont think people will go to Risa to just stay sit staring at the sun...
Leisure event?? lol, you guys really make me laugh so hard xDDD. And this is why really bad implemented events will never change. Because we always will have people that likes everything cryptic does, even if it s TRIBBLE xD.
Yes, the map is beautiful, but the event is terrible. If i want to "relax" i just go outside to the fields in the real world. Like any normal people will do. I go to fishing, to do some alpinism, and so on. If i play STO and i go to Risa, its because i want to grind the stuff of the event. There is no other motiv, even if some of you pretend it is.
Enjoy = have fun with it. That is the purpose of a game. I'm only getting the ship on 1 char this year because it fits his pirate theme and I didn't grind for the winter one at all cause I don't really need it and I hated this year's winter event.
The point of a game and any event in that game, for me at least, is to have fun. Not to hoard tons of stuff I probably won't ever need.
People go to Risa for multiple reasons. Hell, yesterday there were like 4 hours (probably more, but I left) of Gorn jokes, so it's safe to say that some come only to share Gorn joke with a big audience. Some come to RP. Some come to hang out and surf with friends and fleeties. And yes, some even come to enjoy the scenery. Then again, some come to grind the stuff offered.
The point is - as many people - that many reasons for being there.
It is a leisure event. You don't have to pew-pew. You don't have to activate your brain. You don't even need to do the stuff if you don't feel like it, it won't hinder or affect the main gameplay of STO for you in any way.
And pretty much everyone here knows that I haven't really agreed with Cryptic's decisions for the game lately, even moreso after Dan Stahl left.
For someone that has trashed S8 & S9 and said multiple times that the last substantial thing that came out of Cryptic was LoR, I really don't think I qualify as someone who "likes everything that Cryptic does". Quite the opposite lately, actually.
It's all in the mindset. Like I said, there are multitude of motives for people to go to Risa. Maybe you don't have another reason, and that's cool, but then you're basically enforcing the grind on yourself for something you don't really need in the gameplay of STO.
If you have more fun going outdoors, which I don't doubt you enjoy more as any normal person, than why getting agrivated about the STO Summer Event? If you don't feel like you have fun with it, just forget about it and do stuff that is more fun. It's not like you're really gonna' miss a virtual surfboard that is nothing more than a vanity item even in the game itself.
In 15 minutes during the Horgahunt, I can get 200 Favors (just enough time to run the event on 4 characters). Some of them are even level 10 characters (not that level matters). And all it took was 1 Superior Floater and 3 basic ones. With just basic ones, I could do it 3 times in 15 minutes.
Repeat as often as I'd like to do to get everything.

And all it took was 1150 favors to get started and grind for more favors
Sure, and if i have 50 alts, i can gather 10000 favors (or something like that, didnt do the maths lol).
The point is, i will need to grind almost half of the event to just buy a 500 favour swimsuit (or i dunno the price of the decent ones , the ones that are cheaper than the 1000 favour ones) for 4 of my characters. And i am not sure if that swimsuit is going to like me, since the preview option is really TRIBBLE. So, in the end, just for 1 dumb swimsuit i spend almost all my time in the event. And there is a probability that after all, the swim suit will not be at all what i wanted.
Everything will be ok if the prices were far lower (really far lower). Thats the whole problem of the event. And of course if we could get BETTER and more real previews of the swimsuits. People will like to buy a few swimsuits, not just 1. Grinding for just 1 suit in my opinion is stupid. And because you wil not be able to wear if outside Risa anyways.

And this, ladies and gents, is the correct attitude to have.
This player is all about having fun. Not being a slave to the grind.
Absurd, I only have 4 alts involved and I've already purchased four swimsuits (at 500 each(, one superior floater (at 1000) and three superior hoverboards (at 1000 each) off of favor I earned in the event so far, for a total of 6000 favors in cost, and I didnt even have favors left over from last year. The favors are not that hard to come by.
I did that so I can spend the rest of the time. Sitting on the beach. Hatching a bird egg I found. Build some castles. And explore with my floater and powerboard.
I didn't think it was a grind at all. Since I got some stuff. And now I can really RP my vacation at Risa Paradise. Where before my Romulan was farming Dil and Rep points for the Romulan Rep. Making this my 3rd character to go through it. So I'm ready for a vacation.
I done most of the events and they all been fun and enjoyable.
