Andorian Sleigh Bells and the Bajoran Prayer Beads, are their drop rates enough for this year's Winter Event?
This year, the Winter Wonderland Store has practically doubled in Inventory and new players and players with new Romulan characters are in a bit of a bind in having to choose this year. With 1 Uncommon Drop from the Snowman Fights, I don't think is going to cut it this year. Last year we had the snow botters providing the community with the extras we needed to complete our shopping lists or finishing our Fleet Projects (which some small fleets never completed, because it required some grinding).
So I personally would like the Team to increase the Drop rates. Maybe this would be a good long-term solution to players doing the Gingerbread Town event after they finish their accolades? Or perhaps a supplemental reward for the PvP Race?
What you think?

Those two ingredients have always been TRIBBLE poor drops, but you were able to gain them thru snow pile digging for which they have eliminated this year. Instead they put in a pie eating contest and invasion mission to get some extras from, but they both come with lengthy cd's leaving you with too much downtime for gaining ingredients to really purchase everything you could want for alts.

I'm pretty glad I saved all my drops from last X-mas, I was able to buy new stuff right away
I'm not really worried about getting the stuff I want, more about if my fleet mates will actually donate to the project, ESPECIALLY the uncommon items.
I mean, I can generate a pretty good amount of stuff by myself, but I am still only one person, and nothing promises ever giving the uncommon items.
Indeed, I had enough surplus of the commons that first thing I did was buy my Romulans the Boots I been itching for, for months.
But the uncommons, I had one or two left over. Just not understand how Cryptic wants us to have fun if we are struggling with bad drop rates. This supposed to be for fun, not another grind.
Not do i think is it lame to have the same winter event all over again but i think its even lamer to let us grind more and more for as little reward as you possible can give out.
I think thats it for me with this stupid event last year was somewhat fun this year is a huge disappointment. Thanks for the Happy Hollicreeps.
Between that and the uncommon commodity shortage... honestly, if I hadnt had a bunch saved up from last year to get the skates for my new toons, I just wouldnt have bothered with it at all.
The doors, Mister Scott!
I don't think this should be too much gain in commodities, and I think it would get people playing more races- therefore more people on for longer.
What do you think of this idea?
I actually like Delta Rising.

Good thing you have 35 days of the event to casually get whatever you want from the event store.
Yes, everyone has 35 days to do it. :rolleyes:
So to get that amount, you have to do 240 snow battles, which depends if the beads and the bells evenly distributed in that number of battles. And to get that many you have to play about 7 battles per day. And that's not counting those in fleets having to depost their bells and beads, which they need 250 for these projects.
So yeah, it's all good! /sarcasm

DUDE that was REALLY dirty!
Even with 42 days, the drop rate for the uncommon stuff is way too low.

once people start to get it you will find the event goes quicker and quicker.
Even grabbing the optionals this should take you no more then 8 minutes tops, if it is taking longer you and your team are doing something terribly wrong. Longer then an STF? Don't make me laugh.
Wellll, we've all heard of the 3 minute STF runs

Please guarantee at least one uncommon commodity from running the Winter Invasion PvE. I go and get all the gingerbread men (because most people just run past all of them), get the Yeti, and still, I've gotten a single uncommon item each day yesterday and today. Also, please change the whole recipe mechanics. I just went into an Winter Invasion, and 3 of the players just rushed to the Yeti cave right at the start.
