Nice and Fun Improvements.

Live Snowmen to fight.

Second race (not sure how to run it).

And plenty of snowballs.



But why is the only way to buy items is through the Lobi Store?

That really takes the fun out of the event if it costs you real money to enjoy it.

the second race as in the PvP race?
You go to the far left on the map, to a platform that says START.
Wait til a race timer shows, select join race.

Go west of the main gazebo, up a hill lined by blue flags and you'll find the race start area, which has an option to join the race when the event is on.

I just ran it.

Stupid that I had to wait over an hour for it. And didn't get a single reward for doing it.

The sad truth is that money is the Ultimate End Game Goal for Cryptic and PWE when it comes to STO and that is not a bad thing, I mean they?ve got to show a profit with it or it won?t be worth keeping around.

In a Free to Play MMO Nothing is Truly ?Free?

So is the race (the one for the pictures) just the same as last year?
I had a feeling it might be a bit harder so you would not win it as much and had to spend money on lock boxes to make up the short fall of pictures etc.


And if you don't win can you re-run it again or have to wait a day to run it again?

Seems contradictory when they are giving out a free starship.

But you think you could get those store items without having to purchase lobi, like last year.

You fight the Snowmen to get the Collectibles. Which happens every half hour, at the Top and Bottom of the hour.

I'm confused now.

So the items like the consumables and Scarfs and the like cost Lobi now?

If that's the case then count me out on picking any of them up.

Mario 64 still does a better job at all of the attempts craptic made here with this waste of time. MAYBE they could fix the teaming bug or the fact that MATCHS still break every other time.

I almost feel bad for the poeple that had to work on this garbage. Almost because if I was working on this I would have actually tried to make soemthing worth doing, instead of dangling a carrot at the end of a stick for me so Ill be tempted to play their pitiful stolen ideas and horriable programming.
