make snowballs not lame

These are both annoying. Remove the first message, and remove the shiver functionality when holding a snowball.

We don't need a message telling us that we need an empty hand to hold snow, because that's obvious. Nobody is going to be scratching their heads, furiously seething as they try to figure out why they can't pick up something when they're already holding another item.

The shiver thing is mostly a nuisance. It was a nice idea, but in practice it's just annoying and takes the fun out of any spontaneous snow fights by giving every participant slowness. If people want to roleplay out being cold from holding snow, it should be something they can optionally do with /shiver, and not something that's mandatory.

+1 to both, especially the empty hand stuff

While I do agree that the "You can't pick up a snowball" message could have a cooldown to avoid chat spamming, holding a snowball for too long should have some sort of consequence. Yes, it is true that we should encourage free roleplay, but the amount of people who roleplay out temperature and other weather-related matters is miniscule (most of the times they do is because we force them to react via a /ita, or another sort of staff-related command)

Cope with the messages, there's no need to remove them and they add depth and prompt more rp (in terms of the shivering).

The consequence of holding a snowball is a minor inconvenience which can be negated by simply throwing or dropping it. There is nothing deep or interesting about your character shivering from holding snow; it's something that most people probably just ignore, because nobody thinks being cold from holding snow is interesting roleplay (or at least, I would assume so. My apologies to the niche of people who enjoy reading about paint drying).

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for enforcing realism in regards to temperature, but this definitely isn't the way to do it. If people don't want to roleplay out being somewhat cold (which really isn't fun in most situations) then they shouldn't be forced to, especially if it's something as small as shivering.

Neutral?
Is it possible to make gloves that remove those effects? Like real life, you can hold snow with gloves and you won't feel cold.

 

[HighlightedTwin]

I see what they were trying to go for although I personally think the effects are a bit much. Could you imagine having proper snowball fights? People would be slowly walking to escape one flying at their heads.

....it's just a snowball

Jokes aside, I feel the plugin is perfectly fine the way it is. Don't want people abusing it and hurling snowballs at people like water guns

-1 snowballs are not lame

 

[Ghostfire]

-1 snowballs are awesome and nothing is wrong with them, you're just being a Philbertman42. The messages add more narration to the roleplay!!

 

[DarkEclipic]

-1 snowbas arent harming anyone, for now.

 

[FadedMoonlight]

for now

Just you wait. I'll find a way.

i hate empty hand to pick up snowball when using a shovel. Although, by the time they can code in a fix.. december will pretty much be over anyways?

While the empty hand message can be annoying it's easy to overlook. As for the shivering, I think it adds a nice touch to the plugin this year

I love snowballs, they're not lame.

Its fun to trip @Ghostfire and @6Panda especially.

+1 to the messages
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I'M GOING TO DISTORT!
(these messages are annoying why does IT need to show everytime you shovel snow up)

As Lizalopod has said, deal with the messages. They give us more to do RP wise and shivering can be turned off

If anything, just remove the spamming message + make it so that you shiver after a good 15-20 seconds.

holding a snowball for too long should have some sort of consequence

Let's be honest, one snowball couldn't make someone shiver after holding it for 3 seconds. I think the time should be extended on how long you can hold it before you shiver
