I see in today's Release Notes (01-08-15) that of all things Snowballs get nerf'ed.
I don’t post a lot and like many long time players I have been very unhappy with the direction this game has taken over the last year....but seriously what prompted this change –
“Snowballs, Unmelting Snowballs, and Half-melted Snowballs no longer have any chance of knocking down snowmen or players of the opposite faction”.
If there are players out there who have a problem with getting hit with a virtual snowball they should seek counseling.
It was supposed to have happened a while back as per tribble patches. They must have forgotten due to the holidays to include the snowball nerf. A bunch of kiddies were again playing with knocking players out so they spoiled it for the rest of us.
Its the same thing year after year...However, I wonder of "how" they noticed the complains....either from tickets or forums postings. They don't seem to listen to anything one posts on forums so would be surprised if they listen to player's input. More than likely they got this from DEVs listening to Zone chat in game. Havent seen much whining on posts but chat....would be interested to know how they got their feedback...
I remember 2 years ago, when cryptic advertised the snowballs as Q's PVP weapon. They wanted you to use it in the pvp race. Now.......
Good idea in theoretically (I suppose), but when actually implemented or thought out....
Kinda reminds me of a little story my chemistry professor in high school told the class about the NYC subway system. Back in either the late 1890's or early 1900's it was discovered that the most injuries / fatalities in accidents occurred in the first and last trains cars. What did the subway authority do? They removed the first and last train cars.
I once only *thought* something was wrong with you because of your reaction to the snowball situation; both when it was merely a possibility, and then your response when you misunderstood about the fix.
Third times the charm, because you've now confirmed it with this post:

My opinion of you was low enough already, but this is just plain offensive.
Crawl back into your hole.

The sooner this thread gets closed, the better.
For the record, your name is in my signature because you used to make a habit of passively aggressively insulting me based on my signature.
If you don't remember that, then just goes to show how much of a bridge dweller you are.
