I have to see if that snowball power is purchasable alone. I don't need anything else there, but I would have endless fun if my jokester of an ice blaster could throw snowballs at fellow players all year long.


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

Are they really red? I assumed you could pick the colors, but I don't really remember.

Extra-spicy versions of cloves.

Actually, just a typo. Red gloves.

I wondered, but thought maybe we were able to mull our in-game cider now.

Is the snowball power forever or just temporary?

The default is red but they're not pre-tinted, you can make them any color.

It's a one-time purchase that is a permanent power. It's not temporary. It does not have a charge.

It can be purchased by itself.

It will only available for sale until January 31, 2012.

I would like to point out, that the Halos in this pack , are both the legacy /regular version and finally, a tintable version!

Can we obtain the fixed halos in-game or we have to pay for them?

On my Antoine1979 account I just purchased Titan Weapons thinking I'd get the weapons pack #1 for free and I did not. So how do I get more weapons?

I really like this Holiday Pack idea (just bought it for both my accounts). I hope that there are similar packs in the future for the Valentines event (toga, sandals, etc.) and for the Roman costume set.

While there are certainly arguments to earning said costume pieces (Baby New Year/Snaptooth is my favorite mission in the game), I very much enjoy the abliity to use winter (and hopefully Valentine & Roman) pieces for character creation right out of the box for new characters created Feb - Nov.

I also wouldn't mind eventually seeing the new winter storm effect (as a permanent toggle) for sale. (Since it debuted this year, I wouldn't expect it for sale this time around.)

You have to "purchase" the weapons pack (it costs 0 pp). It's a separate item.

Just to be clear, this (Winter Holiday Pack) is an account-wide purchase, right? I'm sick to death of running Snaptooth missions and farming candy canes. Have no desire to do it again.

Was the banner art done by one of the staff artists? I really liked it.

Unfortunately Adam, those items have been removed from the Paragon Market™ until a later date. The 0 Paragon Points promotion for Weapons Pack: Titan Weapons #1 ended yesterday. When the Weapons Pack is reintroduced to the Paragon Market, it will not be 0 Paragon Points.

Well that sucks, if I'd known that I would not have bought it.



THIS TOON IS NOW A HERO!

The decision to include the snowball power as a permanent option in the Winter Holiday Pack is... interesting.

A number of RPers, while they enjoy a good snowball fight on occasion, find it rather difficult to enjoy their RP if they're dancing at a radio show or just doing their own thing if people continually pelt them with snowballs. Even moreso when the people doing the snowball throwing won't stop if you ask them politely to.

With the inclusion of that power in the pack, there's now no respite from this form of RP griefing. At least before, we knew that if we waited long enough after the event, it'd stop. Now we have all year long to look forward to people who feel the need to keep others from having fun doing what they do. Please reconsider this, or at least let Null the Gull give us the option to not be able to be hit by them (which you probably actually can't do with current tech, sadly).

If you think about it, there are a number of other uses for the Snowball as well.

Did you know it raises the Domination bar? Melee characters essentially get a zero-damage ranged pull power they can use starting at level 1.
