Seems to be only on European and Korean servers so far, but there are men that take you to the snowball arena in all three cities.
I'm thinking that Anet got the idea for the Snowball Arena, with the skills etc., from actionjack's idea in Sardelac. If so, then Hurrah!

you can get it from the Priest between Dwayna and Grenth in Ascalon, Droks, and LA.

Its neat cause all your skills are replaced and everyone's HP and magic regen is equal ^^;;

although i think warriors get advantage cause they still have the run buff to grab the presents and run.

Hell, the entire Dwayna team has an advantage over Grenth's because they can cripple, which (IMO) is much more useful than spreading disease. And a Dwayna necromancer... they can just destroy anyone trying to run presents, or anyone who gets stuck on the ice for that matter. I think the battles are a bit unfair in that regard.

Hehehe. First time I did it I didn't know you had to use the first skill each time to attack. Now I know why we lost so badly....

Why havent they updated in America yet

Zakarr · Dec 24, 2005, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Umm...I played in snowball arena an hour ago at american servers.

Former Ruling · Dec 24, 2005, 02:38 PM // 14:38

IT IS, and has been, on American servers...

Dwayna has a HUGE advantage (but thats to be expected huh? Dwayna being the nice god that always wins in the end), that is if you arent like me:

I tryed for an hour, and got only people are either:
1) New players who ran around doing nothing wondering why their skills are gone.
2) people that just called a random target and wanted to spike dmg that target.....while the other team has a free day running presents to their avatar.

A global thing is NOONE realized that Kills mean nothing in there..its basically a relic run map..you win by running the presents to your Avatar. Noone cared or tryed to stop present runners, or anything.

Did I just get the noob teams?

schutz · Dec 24, 2005, 02:38 PM // 14:38

Its been on america for like 4 hours? probably more

MrMight · Dec 24, 2005, 02:41 PM // 14:41

I got 7 consective wins with my team!

lyra_song · Dec 24, 2005, 02:45 PM // 14:45

My teams were decent....we had 2 stoppers and 2 runners. The runner was the warrior and myself and the mesmer and necro were slowing down their runner ^^. we would ping where the present showed up and target the runner to knock him down.

Former Ruling · Dec 24, 2005, 02:47 PM // 14:47

best I got were people that were either like "Wherx mY skilz, oMG!@ Gme HaxZors@!@!!!shift", or just randomly started attacking opponents -_-

Symeon · Dec 24, 2005, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Warriors seem to often have a shout: 'Let's Get Em!' which makes them run for 5 seconds. This make them ideal for carrying the presents. And there is Avalance on the Dwayna team which cripples, and some disease spreading skill on Grenth's. The skills that are always the same seem to be snowball, mega snowball and hidden rock.
I'll just post the skills that I've seen:

Snowball - throws slow moving snowball that hits for 50 dmg.

Mega snowball (adrenaline) - throws very slow moving snowball that hits for 75 dmg and knocks down.

Hidden rock - glyph that makes next snowball knock down and cause daze.
Snow down the shirt - (hex) for 20 seconds, whenever target touches foe takes damage, that foe is interruped.

Avalanche - target foe and all nearby foes are crippled for ten seconds.

Yellow snow - cures of one condition. Your next snowball causes disease.

'Let's Get Em!' - shout, for 5 seconds all allies in area move 10 % faster.

Flurry of Ice -

'Mmmm. Snowcone!' - shout, you are healed for 300 health and all your attacks are disabled for 10 seconds.

Ice Fort - (enchantment) for 10 seconds, you block all incoming projectiles. This ends if you move.

Former Ruling · Dec 24, 2005, 02:57 PM // 14:57

Its Ice Flurry, do 35 (?) dmg to target foe and acjacent foes.

or something to that effect.

And Go Get Um' has another effec,t you gain 1 strike of adrenaline for every ally effected by it when you use it (its a free mega snowball charger).

Necromancers have Wintersday Cry or something like that - Sac 100% of your health, all foes in area take 50 dmg, and for 15 secs Wintersday Sadness comes up in that area giving all foes -15 health degen (its got a well animation).

Nisha · Dec 24, 2005, 03:01 PM // 15:01

As an Ele I got Icicles, which if I remember right did some dmg and a 66% slowdown on foes in an area. Used it often to stop present runners

chris_nin00 · Dec 24, 2005, 03:05 PM // 15:05

As a reward you get presents and faction...

I like presents
And one last thing fun

I like it here, cause there are no twinkies
