Thoughts on Snowball Fight Event 2014?

  Changes from 2012 to 2014:
  
  

  
  
  • Snowman Floating Stone uses Thunder instead of Fireball.
    
  • Side Base Floating Stone Fireball damage lowered from 200~ to 1.
    
  • Snowman is invincible for the first 5 minutes of the game.
    
  • Snow Bomb removed.
    
  • Entry cooldown; can't re-enter until 12:00AM Erinn Time, starts after leaving a match.
    

  
  
  I understand it's meant to nerf EXP gains, but they did about it the wrong way. Now it takes approximately 3 fucking hours to get the god damn 5 AP and hopefully victories for box pieces, and not everyone has time for that.
  
  Their attempts to "balance" the game are pretty shitty too. While Snow Bomb definitely needed to be removed since it just one-shots people without effort, they didn't bother to nerf Escape Bombs. Lowering the Floating Stone's Fireball damage to 1 is too excessive, just like Macha, as it gives no chance of defending itself. The Thunder I don't like since it's unavoidable automatic one-shot no deadly, plus it's range is even bigger than the Fireball and doesn't give players much to counter.

  If they buffed the EXP given (though the 5AP is nice.. but for three hours of effort minimum?) and gave the winners a whole box and the losers a piece or two I feel like there would be a lot less bitching. But in it's current forms the bitching is indeed appropriate. They nerfed this event into the ground. We don't even have our own party chat to communicate with the team and to make plans. Forcing us into a teamwork situation with no communication of our own ruins the fun of some sneak attack or any sort of common cooperation.
  
  Currently though, I feel that the removal of the three pots for 3 hours of work should be taken off that list of "rewards".

  Ya, I don't think I"m going to bother with this event. The fact that it punishes you so much for losing is absolutely retarded. This is event is complete shit in it's first form. Already swore up a storm earlier when I realized what was going on and I had lost.
  
  Well done NA >.>

  For an event that I only care about the 5 AP for, it sure does take an awfully long time...
  
  I guess it's pretty fun to play around with once in a while, but 5 times? Nah.

  If you have to work like a dog to get them, they could be double rainbow pots but still wouldn't be worth it.

  Pretty much this. The rewards aren't worth the effort and frusteration in my mind. If it was a gauranteed chance of obtaining either the Robe, or the crowns, I'd be willing to put in the effort but with the chance of losing very high and getting no reward unless you do all 5 and the half hour wait between. Ya no, I'll pass.

  Nexon ALWAYS overcompensates. Always. Whether it be giving everyone 20 of an item to make up for it being so rare no one got one in a previous event, or nerfing an event into uselessness to make up for it being too easy the previous time. They can never just go with the middle ground, they jump from one extreme to the other.

  Shitty reward, and getting 5 AP isn't hard.
  
  Not really worth.

  No worries.
  Folk's will realize the fixing that you can do with this soon enough, it doesn't solve the time garbage, but everybody's a winner. And no, its not the tie garbage because that's for dorks.
  
  Sides, I need tan elf. THE DAY HAS COME. ELF WITH REALISTIC SKIN FOR LIVING IN A DESERT.

  In Alexina, there was a lot of complaining on a player who's name starts with M**** and their alts (which also start with M****) flooding every match

  gonna get 1 box over a course of a few days... If i get a potion or anything useless im not even gonna bother.
  Doesn't even feel worth it if they remove all the useless potions... I bet you they give you like 10 pots too...

  I'm surprised said person still is botting the matches despite the amount of anti-bot measures and hassle put into the event to thwart people with those intentions!
  
  The sheer amount of dedication that they have is amazing in itself, holy.

  My only complaint is that they should have changed the AP reward to one completion, and maybe added an idle timer if there already isn't one.

  There is. You get kicked out for idling inside.
  
  Unless that's not what you're referring to.
