Where are the snowflakes?!??

[WildWind84]

Hi, I just log in game and Christmass port is here, dockyard is here, event pass is here, steel will is here, but - WHERE ARE SNOWFLAKES?!?! 🤨

[Darlith]

As stated in the patch article on the site under the Wonders of the Arctic section which deals with the winter stuff. Festive rewards start Dec 1st.

Thanks 🙂

Yeah!! Don't be such a snowflake. 🫣

[Verblonde]

Presumably, the first day of snowflakes is one of the busier days for the game? If that's the case, giving it a few days prior to make sure everything else in the new patch is working properly is sensible - reduces the chances of any epic banana-skins...

Yet the first day of snowflakes happens during a weekend, so if there was a banana skin, plenty of people wouldn't be amused and the response time for mitigation might be slightly off. It's true it wouldn't be an epic one, though, and there shouldn't be any since snowflakes are an already well established element of the game.

Salute.

The Black Friday event ends at the same time the Christmas/New Years snowflake event begins, Santa crates become available in the shop, the rewards for the long-running Expedition to the North Pole event drop, and the Advent Calendar/new set of login bonuses become active.

We usually don’t have US Thanksgiving/Black Friday occur so late in November and thus overlap with the NY/Christmas patch. It looks like the devs wanted some kind of clean break date (or at least as good of one as reasonably possible) between the two events, and chose Dec 1st as a good day to do so.

I'm beginning to think that you have one of these for every occasion.  My dog/muppet collection is WAY behind!

I need to branch out.

Gotta admit, I really want go get at those snowflakes myself. Been grinding up and buying new tech tree ships for the past few months and have drained my credits and FXP. I want to see the goodies that I will get after all that "work".

That's why it pays to be a Canadian. We get ours out of the way first in October!! Have to make room for the Oktoberfest!!

There was an article that clarified, the tokens upgraded your T8 choice to a T10. For the calender I had to exit game and reenter for it to come back.

Do I look like someone who read articles?? OFC, I read the articles for the freebies. And thank you, I will re enter the game!

** reentering the game works!! Got a supercontainer.

ANGRY AT OP? WANT TO JOIN THE MOB? I'VE GOT YOU COVERED!

COME ON DOWN TO /r/pitchforkemporium

I GOT 'EM ALL!

EDIT: Can't forget the expanded stock, this time with pitchfork guns!

To start off, the lever-action 7-round buckfork:

▄︻̷̿┻̿═━一E

Ruggedly reliable, best suited for lynching OP's at a close distance.

Next we have the fully automatic forkpitcher:

︻̷┻̿●═E

A modified tommy submachine gun equipped with a 100-minifork drum, perfect for dispatching entire herds of OPs without reloading.

Announcing the motherforker, a belt-fed beast that hates OP even more than we hate spoons:

︻╦̵̵͇̿̿̿̿══╤─E

Banned in most first-world countries, we have the privledge of manufacturing these exclusively in forkistan.

Finally, the experimental railfork, 69420 volts of electric lynching power:

︻̷̿┻̿═━═━E

We scraped this together with 3d printed parts and magnetized titanium ammunition, the future is now!

Petition forkistan to standardize these models and bring glory to the resistance once more!
