Is snowball a permanent emote?

[Tahldon]

Aw, I happened to have liked the /snowball emote a lot...

It made things a little more playful and it helps gets the attention of players who are "Ninja AFK". There was an instance where I was running in Gridania, from the Adventurer's Guild, and a player I didn't even know started tossing snowballs at me and another player (whom I did not know). It was fun teaming up to pelt him back for a brief moment before waving and running off. I liked that.

Speaking of emotes... the aspect of the Snowball getting "Ninja AFK" players' attention, I think we should actually have a specific emote that makes a (somewhat) loud noise. Maybe </whistle>? Uses the same sound as PUG's <Taunt>? Yeah... I think we need that. Lol.

Edit: On second thought, for </whistle> make an exclamation mark jump once at the top of the person's head so that they know that it was them who's being whistled at. Kind of like the snowball splash.

I love the snowball emote but I'd rather them take it away, because it'll help get us excited when the winter events come around next year.

I like that water balloon emote idea though, or something else that can come up each season.

As long as they give us /waterballoon im fine with it. The summer event last year was actually pretty dull compared to what I was expecting with SEs track record on how their mmo summer events in the past have gone.

maybe we might get /waterbomb in the summer !

Edit : looks like i got beaten to it >.<

The music in the city just returned to normal and /snowball is gone. ><

I hope it's only seasonal, makes it special that way!~

What you fail to understand is its always winter "season" somewhere in Hydaelyn.

Well depending on the event, you never know when it may pop up again in some form or another.

Though it could be weird to just have a throwing motion without actually throwing something, but we’ll look into seasonal things to pair with the throw animation.

Though maybe not using the throw animation, we would like to look into something similar where you can project something at another player. (Like throwing confetti on their head, for example)
