Hi Everyone, There will be a server check today 24th December 2015 at 16:00 Server Time (GMT), lasting for approximately 15 minutes. Changes during this server check: Fixed the delay between monster skills to be GMS-like. Fixes to the way monsters select which of their skills should be used. Further fixes to the way that monsters select which character to target. Snowman HP for Snowball GM Event has been increased. Snowball GM event will now give the losing team 100 Nevermelting Snow, and the winning team 1 Red Present Box. The MapleRoyals Staff. If you notice any strange issues occurring since this server check please do not hesitate to create a thread in the support forum.
I honestly would try and be the losing team if prizes were to be this way, because that's like 2 red presents to the losers assuming that they finished the snowman without dcing. Just my 2 cents.
Yes, but that's just one. If you lose, you get 2 entries (200 snows) to snowman and have the potential of winning 2 presents in the end.
IMO giving the losing and winning team rewards that are worth roughly the same removes the competitiveness factor of the event. People might feel inclined to just afk, treating the event as just a free snowman event, and together with the increased hp the event might take even longer than it used to be. This is all a big if though, how it may turn out is anyone's guess, but giving rewards to both sides definitely helps in boosting morale and preventing landslide victories.
The increased snowman HP decreases the amount of time you can't attack the snowball. So that's a good thing.
