Summer Event on Risa

paulda73paulda73 Member Posts: 47 Arc User
Hey all, does anyone know if the Risa Summer event will happen this year despite the lockdown? As it has usually started by now, but nothing.

It does not help that the Devs removed the damn Calender so no one knows what is going on ingame or what is planned.

    It's greatly disappointing they opted for the new lockbox and the grind for the armor instead of running the summer event.

    It's being delayed until the grind event is over. Most of us already done with it but summer event hopefully should be around the corner. Delayed in a record time close enough to call it FALL event tiger-14.gif​​

    There's plenty of Summer left. The event is definitely on after the current event.

    August is most definitely still Summer.

    It's not so much about "Summer" but how late this event is this year.
    This is from wiki:

    Date (PC) Summer event start date:
    June 27 - 2013
    June 5 - 2014
    June 4 - 2015
    June 9 - 2016
    June 8 - 2017
    July 3 - 2018
    July 2 - 2019

    Anyone with a sound mind will agree this has been delayed "substantially".
    Yes, Covid happened but then they swapped the event with the lockbox/armor instead of putting that off till after the event.

    Hopefully it will be an over-the-top event better than in previous events but your guess as good as mine.​​

    They are accommodating our French Players since they take August off anyway. Now they have something to do while on holiday. :)

    From what I've gathered the delay was caused by the ship not being ready for the event, hence them swapping it with an event that was ready (I suspect the original plan was summer event then this event but Covid delay the summer event ship so...).

    I wouldn't be holding my breath that event is any different this year as there was no indication what so ever that they were working on adding/improving it.

    I recall seeing or reading somewhere that the reason the Summer Event has been delayed and we got the Red Angel event in the meantime was that they wanted to run both the console and pc summer at the same time, but there was some delay on the console side.

    I don't think it was arbitrary or simply to do another lockbox and event.

    Without the calendar *useful feature* there is absolutely no way to know whats next any more.
    Everything now is a guessing game, Even the gamepedia isnt updated in such a way as to really know whats next and what day its comming. So I am like ok, no calendar no future plans, game is now taken day to day, with NO repeat NO ambition to expect anything usefull month to month except building characters and running missions:).

    Given the "new"/modern Event structure (see: this past Winter event), I expect that the Summer Event won't be as long as in the past. So the whole "omg, it'll stretch into Fall!" thing is a bit... eh.

    It will be 30 days, of which you need 20 days of participation. Down from 40+.

    The one thing I love is that it's going to feature a Risan Science ship, which was the one thing still missing to complete the Risan triade, and I really love playing Science Vessels.

    Matter of opinion there. Some people really really enjoy science ships.

    And plenty of other people could use more Science ships in their Admiralty collections.

    So, this has been announced on Facebook and Twitter, but not on the game's own News Page, or maybe more importantly, the Launcher?

    This is poor customer service and bad branding practice. Of course, I've been saying this kind of stuff for years now, why would anyone listen now?

    The problem is more people use social media than the forums. A LOT more. We forumites only represent a small fraction of the playerbase. So its not as much a customer service issue as it is an exposure issue.
    That being said... I do wish that we'd get a few more updates here too. But we also have to consider that the Devs are only human, and with Corona going around they're not working under ideal circumstances.

    I mean AmbassadorKael got upstaged by his CAT a couple times on the livestreams.
    Also interesting how several Devs have cats. lol

    I am also in the group looking forward to another science ship.

    And I have a cat too. Cats are awesme!
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    NEW NEWS: There's a facebook post saying it will start on August 4th, which is the Tuesday after the end of the Red Angel event.

    https://www.facebook.com/StarTrekOnlineGame/photos/a.175740868602/10157467329763603/?type=3&theater

    of course it would be installed on tuesday

    What's wrong with a Tuesday? I mean, we're getting Loluhnat(SUmmer Events actual name) and it's also the day Wimpy is supposed to give back that dollar he borrowed for a burger.
