Kind of a silly thought but I thought it be cool and fun at the same time. Was on Risa earlier today doing one of the games and there were small explossions in the backgroiund. Thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if the Iconians decided to crash our party?
It's not like we are unarmed or anything playing on the planet, but if the war was brought here it be ani interesting turn of events. We have our powerboards and floaters be pretty cool to fly around shooting Iconians, hell a little hand to hand combat thrown in for good measure.
Alright stupid thoughts over, back to your regular programs

It will be like the Scourge Invasion WoW had. I loved it, while others hated and fussed it ruined their gaming.

I remember that patch. I'd force my character to be changed into a ghoul, take the portal from Shatt to SW and infect the Alliance. It was AWESOME!
your in ESD or qo'nos doing some banking or accessing the exchange and suddenly there are iconians everywhere and its pew pew.
your happily doing an stf or some other qued mission and suddenly iconians pop up and join the battle.
or perhaps your doing a foundry mission and iconians come to spoil your game.
or your just doing "flying high" on risa for the ship and boom! no ship for you chum, iconians are here to spoil your day.
and maybe you was just half way through “Horga'hn Hunt" , “Castles in the Sand" or “Making Waves" and no you cant have any Lohlunat Favors, iconians are here to steal them from you.
no other foe that we have faced has ever caused this kind of random intrusion, not borg or undine or even dominion so why should this be any different with iconians?
players moan like crazy about Disco Ball Bombs interrupting their game what would they be like if iconians started doing that.
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.
I just had a crazy idea that's all. It's called the Iconian war. It's not suppose to be quiet while we party, just a little fun idea I was thinking
well they had to call it something I guess the iconian war was most appropriate, though I suppose they could have used anything but what about the fed Klingon war or the undine war or the dominion war.
you all seem to forget how many wars we have had in this game and think this one should be somehow different from all the others.
I suspect in the next season update or expansion there will be yet another war from some as yet unknown enemy that's the thing that keeps us playing but it doesn't mean it will be any different then all the others that have preceded it.
and even now you can still take part fighting Klingons if you are fed or fed if you are Klingon, take on the undine or the dominion or even the borg.
and when they bring in the next enemy you will still be able to battle the iconians.
that's just the way the game is but it would be a bit strange when they bring in this new enemy if iconians are still poping up on risa and other places.
that's why all the conflicts that are forever ongoing are all kept in their own little part of the game and don't randomly affect others.
it is done this way so each day you can choose whatever enemy you fancy, if you fancy going up against the breen you can play that stuff or tal shiar or the tholians or whatever or you can chill out on risa or during the winter event in wonderland without fear of encountering anything to spoil you day.
just imagine you was short on time one day and just had time to do your flying high for the ship or do a surfboard race so you can raise a monkey and iconians come and you run out of time and miss out on what you were doing, bet you wouldn't think it was fun then.
especially if you have limited days you can play and miss out on the ship as a result even more so now its get it now or never and any unfinished ship projects are deleted at the end of the event.

Oh I understand that, and i Know all that. When you tote it as pushing to the endame that was my reasoning. I'm sure there is going to be something else out there, that we would have to fight. Honestly don't know what that could be since the Iconians were always suppose to be the big enemies. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the "Others" were the Hercs
but you forget the golden rule, no matter how big you are you'll always find someone bigger.
I believe this applies here, no matter how many all powerful enemy the devs throw at us you can bet your life they have always got a more powerful one waiting in the wings to take us on for as long as the game will last.
and they will try to get us to buy bigger and better ships and spend dilithium upgrading our weapons and more and more.
they may be new enemy or possibly old enemy with more advanced weapons who knows but as the old saying goes "you ain't seen nothing yet".
you think this is endgame, this is just the beginning.
think I`m wrong, just think of this, why would the devs go to all the trouble of redesigning all of sector space with completely new graphics plus taking down the borders and such if this was the endgame.

Like I said I remember reading something a few months ago before Delta Recruits came out, saying heading towards the Endgame. Not saying that will happen, but I do remember reading about it.
Like I was saying in my last post, there could be the Hercs, or if they really want too, they can start using things from the books, with Destiny coming to mind.

The first summer event was 2409, and there have been three since. The war is in 2410, and the current summer event is 2413.
Risian BZ: underwater VS iconians!
(Luckily, i've got the submarine mod already slotted on my aeon so i can make strafing runs while everyone else is irunning around in scuba suits and enviro suits....)
it depends how you define endgame, to me endgame is just anything you do after you`ve finished levelling up.
before the change that was anything you did after you reached level 50 now that has changed to anything you do after you reach level 60.
some might class endgame as anything you do after you fill all of your specializations.
but it does not necessarily mean nothing more will be added ever.
I don't know how it was meant where you read it but possibly endgame for the iconians although as I said before these things never really end.
I am pretty sure it doesn't mean nothing more to be added to sto, I remember reading somewhere they already have plans in the works for where to take the game next.

it wouldnt be so bad if it was timed but random so it cant happen every 5 minutes but more like every few hours or something then it can happen any time after that then repeat etc.
I mean so long as it doesnt happen too much I dont see the harm. a couple times a day or something lol
Something like that be cool. I mean we had tp fight Snorg in the winter, that was fun to do for a bit, they could do a setup like that. Hell mayne do that setup in the volcano or by the arches lol.
Sorry about this one since I am not aware of how to post multile quotes yet. As for the Endgame, I was not thinking along those lines what so ever and feel like a total noob on that one
But to be serious: No, I don't want to see Risa becoming a war zone.
The whole point the old map is still there is because Risa is a big planet & could have as many regions/maps just added to it. Only reason to remove it if they are planning to re-do the same map.
Otherwise I'm quite happy that there is a quieter Risa place available; with each new addition the Resort map moves away from laid back paradise to Disney world. Both are good; love that paradise theme park style but don't like to see the other map being killed off for the sake of it.
Now if they want to just give the Classic beach a send off, I agree blast it like they did with ESD. Although in all honesty I think it was a dumb idea changing it for everybody including the noobs, but I'm sure the code would not have worked out for the way i was thinking and probably been to complicated. I think everybody who was under 50 should have been seeing the old ESD and all of us above 50 the new one. Once again I know it probably wasn't practical.
Anywho back to the original topic. The destruction of the classic beach would be a pretty good send off, so why not? Also I see what you're saying with the Disney Risa, but I also can see the point of cryptic. You need to add and remove things so players keep coming back.
Add and renew or replace with improved versions of the same meaning. Just removal had never good fedback for them. Not that it stops them doing it anyway. And I could see them killing off the old map just because its not up to their current standarts. It just seems like such a waste of energy to remove it if no same day replacement is planned. Its not like ppl are prevented to visit the real deal because of it.
Honestly who visits Risa any other time of the year? They can just revamp the classic or just say bye bye. It's only a busy place during the Summer months and only during the event. They should do something to keep it busy year round
And while you say only do it a "couple of times a day," that means there would be a lot of people who would never get to experience because it is not happening when they are playing - and one of those people could be you. So what is the point of having it that way?
That's very true. Also I think maybe if they do it during the off season then there can be pew pew and not bother others.
If there were any "real" weapons allowed that would mean to allow Kit modules too and that would end in chaos
