Let us use snowball weapons outside of the Wonderland

Seems redundant to give us a weapon we can only use 35 days out of the 365.25 days in a year?
They should still deal massive damage to snowmen but add weapon stats when outside the wonderland.
Flurry should do
40 damage per hitx3
and the secondary should be
50 per hit
Avalance should be
120 per hit
With a 2% chance to knockback target 5ft
secondary should be 340
with a 5% chance to Knockback all targets 10ft
They should both have 8% chance to CritH
And 20% CritD
With a 2.5% chance to proc "Cold"
Cold Debuff:
Decrease CritH by 2% for 5s
Decrease CritD by 10% for 5s
Decrease Cold Resist by 30% for 5s
Slow Movement speed by 20% for 5s
Put out plasma fires.
And Borg cant adapt

Say with a 30 degree forward targeting arc and moderately slower rate of fire than its current...
The day I join a PuG for KAGE and appear in a group full of snowball launchers is the day I quit this game for good...
But by all means have it as a 'social' weapon like the Party Poppers though.
This. It'd be awesome if it was able to just... shoot harmless snowballs anywhere. It doesn't need to be useful in battle.
Only if the "harmless" (read annoying/ griefing) snowballs allow the victim to retaliate with full PvP firepower.
You realize that having one of these 'guns' improves your participation in the snowball fights every half hour. The better you do in those fights, the better drops you get after Big Bad goes down. The 'guns' pay for themselves in like 2 snowball fights max.
It is foolish NOT to buy one, as the improved drops mean that you get to the other stuff you want faster.
Just my observation.
I actually don't like these weapons. The first time participated in taking on that huge king snowman no-one had these weapons and thousands of snowballs were flying all over the place, it was mayhem and pretty good fun.
And now nothing happens at all, the same fight is finished in a fraction of the time with a handful of players because they have these guns. Shame really.
This, a million times, THIS!

I did not know you got more based on kills :eek:
Before I got the weapon I would average maybe 5 things in that drop after the boss, since I started using the avalanche I'd say i average 8 to 9 items. Just been my experience.

I'd just call it math
Easy way to look at it is this.
End of Snowball Fight reward :
Figure an Average of 5 items without the gun
do the fight 5 times
25 of the items
Average of say 8 (low end) with the snow gun
do the fight 5 times
40 of the collectible items.
That divide keeps getting bigger the more you do the snowball fight.
yeah , not a huge difference, but Math tells me it's a pretty important one if i want to get all the items I want to get.
Never tried it but I heard it can be done.

But it would be nice to have it working outside Wonderland, like the other devices.
As long as it won't be an actual weapon (deal damage), I am okay with the idea.
"The quest for the Book of Ignum"
"I have seen your future. I have seen your end"
That would explain why after we finish the current ZONE and switch to one that still has Snowmen I would get less since they are usually halfway done.
I can see Drozana station now, and snow ball fight all the time if they make it useable outside....the RPers are going to hate that lol let's give more ammo to Griefers that can never go wrong.
You are correct, Sir.
I usually get 8 or 9 items in my first zone, 5 or 6 in the second and if I make a 3rd I usually get maybe 4. Starting that first zone with the massive kill zone of the army helps a bunch too.
1) Works only on Andoria / Rura Penthe
2) In the Winter Event Zone, Flurry and Avalanche are snowball throwers. Outside, they are cryo blasters that have stats en par with similar weaponry. Except they have a small chance to freeze or slow an opponent (similar to what we have now with the Cryo Shotgun and the CRM200).
3) Are able to be turned in at the end of the Event for a type of "refund" or can be exchanged for another item such as a Coat, Nanopulse, or a Scarf.

This would help make the game more fun.
OK, I don't want them in-game as viable weapons but I'm open to compromise - you can have your snowball-gun to shoot Borg in Elite STFs on one condition - the minute you hit any Borg with it, you get aggro from every Borg in range (i.e. max threat).
That way, you can enjoy snowballing the Borg Queen in the face, and I get to enjoy watching you die over and over and over again.
Fair?
In elite stfs we use to call tactical drones hacticals.
Just tried it. Almost, but not quite. The army is a little bigger than the Avalanche's explosion radius, so you will always miss some. The survivors will overwhelm and snow you if you don't immediately run after the shot.
I agree. There are acceptable breaks from Canon, and then there aren't. This isn't. You should not be able to hurt ANYTHING AT ALL with a snowball gun - ever. No matter WHO made it.
