The winter event was a blast, and worthwhile enough I haven't actually been to New Romulus yet because of it. :P But now that it is behind us, I would like to add my suggestions for Winter Event 3.0.
1.
Skiing!
It shouldn't be that hard, just give us a slipperier version of the
Frosted Boots buff, change the animation a bit, and let us slide down a mountain! (and let us climb it too) You could have speed races (like the Fast and the Flurrious), a moguls/obstacle course (for the single player race), and ski jump (for shenanigans).
2.
An ice skating race!
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised this wasn't in already. This wouldn't require anything new.
3.
PvP snowball fights!
I know this was promised this year, but it never happened. Definitely make it happen next year Cryptic!
4.
Five man snowman sieges!
Make a PvE mission that gives you five minutes to build a snow castle like the
"fortify buildings" part of
"Mine Trap", then defend it from ever increasing waves of the evil snowman hoard!

5.
Winter hats, Earmuffs, and Gloves.
We have coats, give them company. Speaking of which:

here, click "Uniforms" and scroll down to "Arctic Gear".

And surely they will expand the winter event even more next year. But think we would need to settle on one thing, and that has to be something with a ski jump or having luge added, where we slide down that big mountain!
All good suggestions. You're link doesn't work, but from looking manually I'm assuming you mean the Artic Gear uniform that they wore on Voyager. That wouldn't be bad. If they are going to make more coats though for fed I want a modern version of the TWOK expedition jacket.
with the hockey puck being tribbles? XD

What I do NOT like is the fact that I spent lobi on a gun I can only use once a year. I would like to see some kind of "conversion kit" that turns it into a grenade-lobber or something to that effect the rest of the year. I would gladly pay lobi, zen, GPL or even Borg chips for such a thing.
Other than, if the game is still active I'll attend next year!
I agree, there should be a non WW function for the guns. If the rumors are true of a Summer Event, I could see the guns becoming basically water blasters and perhaps the Q summon could be water demons or maybe.
Yeah, converting it into a squirt gun/water balloon lobber for a winter event would be really nice too.
What would also be really cool is a huge battle royal with very small groups of all the races currently ingame, but all the weapons have been replaced with snowballs.
Throwing snowballs at Borg Drones is a highly amusing image.
Why did you spend lobi for the gun??? I just did some snowman events, then got the gun and the Ornaments started raining in after.
