The Trolls are using snowballs now to pick on people. Remove the snowball knock down effect outside of Q's Winter Wonderland. Thats all im asking. Trolls can still throw them, but rp'ers can have their peace. Seems like a win to me.

    You CAN have your piece. Ignore them.

    Or hell, work the snowballs INTO your RP session. That REALLY pisses the trolls off. >:3

    or brown snowballs
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I would like to say that I'm absolutely loving the winter event and the snowballs. They add a lot of festive cheer to the game.

    Here here! I'm doing my best to get as many unmelting snowballs as I can so we can keep the cheer running all year long!

    Nah. I'd rather have the Winter Event weapons be usable on against other players outside of winter wonderland, but only do the same silly debuff snowballs do due to not being at full power.

    At the very least, it would extend the season, and make for some super-silly fun during the Summer event.

    I'm going to have to agree with this. Remember: these are the same people who want to remove every non-canon, fun item this game has to offer. I don't see any issues, personally, with the winter event. Besides, it's only temporary.

    Video is on-topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBAA_ryzOmE

    excellent, thx for this vid. it is awesome. :P

    Its winter, its snowballs, its silly, its fun!

    This is the holiday season! The season of joy!

    Don't be a grinch! Don't try to spoil the joyful season!

    Ill be cheerfull when I feel like it not because someone else tells me to or because its the supposed "festive season" seriously **** the holidays. if you cant be good normaly, then dont put that mask on during the holidays either.

    and on the snowballs, no, no its not fun to randomly get smacked by a snowball out of nowhere and be knocked down.

    Thats an appalling way of looking at things.

    im just tired of people being all nice and goodie twoshoes during the holiday season and afterwards being complete *******s again. seen and witnessed it to often, its annoying and two faced.
    its as bad as being nice because a religion tells you to be.

    im fine with you having fun, and others having fun and being in good moods and everything but, dont try and force others to see it that way, and dont have fun at the expense of people around you.

    Just have them removed from inventory if not in the Winter Wonderland area. Make it so they can't go in banks nor mail, etc, etc, etc.

    In the end, it's become clear over the years that Cryptic has some passive aggressive issues with their playerbase and live vicariously through the actions of one set of players against another to act out those tendencies...with some of the abuse that the Cryptic/PWE folks take on the forums, it's probably part of some wellness initiative to prevent incidents in the office.

    I have yet to experience the "joys" of these wonderous devices outside QWW. If it is true that they mess with the interactions with NPCs and such, I am dead set against them though. If it is like a Disco Ball and does nothing, however: meh.

    I do, however, like the idea of being able to respond, in kind, to those who might do this. Wanna whack me with a snowball? I'mma drop an Avalanch on ya!

    Remember this post when you get pelted with snowballs in the real world.

    One mans joy is anothers hatred, one mans fun is anothers boredom. I give you my word some of the things I find fun you will either hate or even scratch your head wondering why the hell I find them fun.

    STOP FORCING YOUR VERSION OF FUN ON OTHERS WHO MAY NOT SHARE IT. See I have a caps lock key too.

    Personally I have not had this happen to me and I realy couldn't give a monkeys about it, but others do and it is their right to say so.

    This is the whole disco ball over again and they gave us a way to counter that, so don't count your chickens that they won't do the same here if they get enough complaints.

    I ran into a Dental on DS9 throwing snowballs at RP'ers. He was going nuts cause they was ignoring him. X3

    I've had my share of snowballing trolls, ignore them they soon go away.

    Or they'll be nerfed like the Breen Freezy Ice Cube Maker. ****ing Dental trolls. I wonder what their member turnover rate is?
