I really do.

These snowball fights are making me want to throw my laptop out of the window.

So, I have a warrior/monk and a Necro/ele. The Necro seems to always be on Dwayna, and Warrior on Grenth. What is this topic about? This topic is about how no matter what team I go onto, the other team always wins.

I must have been into about 20 games now, and I don't have 1 candy cane shard.

Please, can someone, anyone, suggest something? Im going insane. Really.

I have played on both sides, won and lost on both sides. Some think Dwayna has an advantage with avalanche, but it really comes down to you team understanding the game, and that is random. Nothing you can do about that really, maybe use what little time you have before the start to explain it. It's like RA, when you get a good team, you will get a bunch of consecutive wins. And FYI you get 3 shards for a win.

It was the same for me last night but this morning I got a team that knew how to do it. Patient my friend, patient.
Most dont know what to do in the arena, jusst runing around throwing snow.
You have to work together!

I have 18 shards, but it's very difficult to get a half-decent team... Think RA yet 10X worse...

At least you get spiked eggnog for losing

I kept losing for about 30 mins then went on a 25 game winstreak. Just be patient and hopefully you'll get some wins

The problem is the winning team isnt split apart they go on to fight the next round.

So evolution takes place, throw enough random teams together and eventually youl get the uber teams, winning round after round the only time one of these is split up is when they fight eachother(pretty rare) eventually creating a totally dominating team.

Below this youl have the winning teams who beat the majority of random teams and only loose to other winning teams/uber teams.

Thats why you lloose the majority of the time untill you face another totally random team or are good enough to beat one of the winning teams(unlikely).

Its realy not that random

I remember doing it last year. After a few games ended up on a really good team. So, good in fact that we never lost so it got boring and we all ended up leaving.

It's been kinda half and half for me, but all my losses are from when I am on Grenth's side. That Avalanche skill evil as hell!

btw I am at 66 CC shards and 210 Gamer points. All those CC's are gonna become my Primeval armor if I sell them right.

For snowball arena, it all depends on your team. If you get a team full of peoples who doesn't understand the concept of getting the present (or knocking them out of enemy's hands) than most likely you'll lose. Also, try different classes for the snowball arena since you get different skills for each.

It's fine, learn to play. I went in 5 times, 3 times on Dwayna side, 2 times on Grenth side. I won while on Dwayna side. Go Avalanche!

I like the snowball game.
Played only a few PvP matches before, but this is soo much fun I think I stick with it a couple of days.

I've been in both winning and losing teams, I don't really care.
When we win, I'm happy, when we lose, just get an other team and win.
That could take a few lost matches, but when you get the feeling and ways to get more presents than the opposite team, you will win.
Once you have a winning strategy, inform the next team you get in.
It's all about strategy (unless you face a team composed of experienced PvP players, those guys/girls are very good at avoiding the snowballs).

i was like you kheira.But later i started with group and we got 13 wins in a row
Our plan was when someone gets the present we defend him and when he is near god we go for another....We don t fight we only defend him

More like random mutation rather than evolution.

Earlier today, I found myself in teams that would win up to 5 times in a row constantly. This evening, with all the extra people joining in, I've noticed that the general quality of players has also decreased. So... now, winning even once started to become a rarity.

I think I'll stop doing that snowball arena for tonight.

I was on a team last night that could have gone on to 50, 60 wins probably, but we got kicked off for the second update lol. Its all about patience and knowing ur skills.
