Floredon Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 is that all you're doing in game, throwing snowballs? how about doing other activities and when you see a player, throw a snowball. the time flies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is so much more fun and constructive to complain about EVERYTHING. Serious, OP .... People asked for an event... you got one. Take it or leave it. You are not supposed to be a special snowflake within 10 minutes... and it already is possible to make it in just one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're choosing to do nothing but farm the parcels on fleet, that's on you. Go play the Gree event, go to the Daily areas, heck go run FPs since you can throw the snowballs at NPCs too. This event is what you make of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been an achievement for pelting 500 sandpeople on Tattooine called 'A Snowballs Chance on Tattoine'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JattaGin Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I went to Tatooine, threw snowballs at all NPCs in outpost Salara or whatever the name is. Then I QT'd to Anchorhead, snowballed the NPCs near the taxi station. After 10 minutes QT'd back to the outpost... It took me exactly - on the minute! - 3 hours to get 100 parcels. The waiting time passed quickly due to me solving crosswords in the meantime. Now I am a special snowflake. Everything is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well... in real life: Throw snowball. Bend over to get more snow. Compact snow Compact snow Compact snow Throw snowball. Repeat ad nauseum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Victus Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well... in real life: Throw snowball. Bend over to get more snow. Compact snow Compact snow Compact snow Throw snowball. Repeat ad nauseum... Yeah, but unless your a perfectionist, it doesn't take a full 15 seconds to make a snowball. Maybe 10 seconds, and that's pushing it. As for the "event" itself, in my own opinion I do feel a bit let down. Granted a huge snowball fight is fun, but the cool down kind of kills it. Especially with the low drop rate on the parcels. When I heard that BioWare was actually doing a Life Day event this year, I kind of imagined it would be something like Republic is trying to spread it to others and celebrate and the Empire would be trying to ruin it for them and so on.

Scyphon_ Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hope this is a trolll post..like someone mentioned making a snowball takes time irl.. bet you want bioware to mail you 100parcels instead right? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seireeni Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Only thing that annoys me in the event is that there aren't that many things to buy with the parcels. There's only two mounts, and one of them requires parcels and gree helixes (which means my lowbies can't get them). I got 37 parcels today, and felt that it was just a little too easy. Maybe I should try to get that Christmas-like mount for all of my alts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfius Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Use them on NPCs during questing ... easy solution. RPing ideas may get more than a page ... but yet easy way above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyMcGee Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just do other stuff. I've been throwing snowballs in flashpoints and pvp. It goes pretty quickly that way and it's pretty funny when you throw a snowball at an FP boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaraExas Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I've been using them to mark my targets in PvP before I leap in. Parcel drop rate seems higher in WZs. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anwg Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The event is going to be around for a while, you don't need to get all the parcels today so just throw snowballs during your daily routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
