I don’t get it… why do we need snowballs? We already have items that aren’t broken that fulfill the snowballs purposes.

I want snowballs cause of the lowered hit detection, and that it was one of the biggest things in treasure wars, along with snowballs are hard to be a long ranged item, not only does it not show a crosshair, it doesen’t deal damage, unlike the fireball, but is still decent for PvP, and you can avoid as i said, by not to not straight line, which is the same thing with bow spammers. And tbh, they should nerf it if that’s the case. It’s so hard to play a freeshop 1v1 in bedwars other than. Also, no Mj owns u snowball comboes(I’m joking there is still the bridge and Skywars). They could also limit the amount of times you can. Up it. Golden apples started at like 5 in stock, but snowballs could be infinite. What if the max is 8 snowballs for like 48 emeralds. I like snowballs as a projectile, and seeing it being removed along with the boomboxes were crazy to me.

I will say this, if they are to implement snowballs again, then they should change how they work so they either deal less knockback, or don’t ignore the invulnerability frame. Either of those two would be fine by me. I don’t think any amount of pricing would stop them from being a problem if they were to come back in their broken/overpowered state.

I think snowballs not ignoring the invulnerability period is something that should absolutely be a thing in every game, as well as with bows, making projectiles require more skill and not being op in trades. Genius idea, @LightKnight5742 ! You just keep cooking!

What’s so bad with snowballs? They are hard to use for the average player, and they could make it like Skywars where it’s hard to get snowballs, cause tbh it’s hard for me to get snowballs. Also, they already have op items, and snowballs is just a projectile. Anyways, it made freeshop fun. Bedwars freeshop just is weird.
I never found freeshop fun in Treasure Wars or BedWars. They’re both unfun for different reasons…
Treasure Wars freeshop was unfun because people could keep spamming knockback boomboxes and snowballs alongside ender pearls, and only a few people could get items like golden apples because of the cap, making it unfair. It was the embodiment of everything I hated about Treasure Wars times 10.
BedWars freeshop is unfun solely because of fireballs, obsidian, and ender pearls. But at the very least, its not as easy for people to run away for 10 minutes and its not as easy to get lots of fireballs since unlike fireballs, snowballs come in a pack of 6, meaning they stack quicker. And so, people could sit there and spam them more easily without running out, making the game extremely unfun.
Also, snowballs aren’t that hard to use. All you need is half-decent aim and you’re good. Also, even with how fast fireballs are on Hive, they’re still slower than snowballs, meaning they can be avoided more easily.

They are extremely easy to use and insanely polarizing, also there’s no need for them lol

So am I the bad player since I can’t spam snowballs……Also cause I am on mobile
All you need to do to fire snowballs at a fast rate is hold right-click, or in your case since you’re on mobile, hold down on the screen. Due to the weird way the crosshair works, the aiming part might be a little trickier, but once you get it, its not that hard. By the way, I do actually have Minecraft installed on my tablet and did try it.

Why can’t you avoid snowballs like bow spammers?
Also I sent this cause I needed someone to reply to, sooo
Also ye I think snowballs should be put to a limit(like 16 can be bought in 1 game, and that’s for everybody). Also, I don’t buy bows cause arrows are so expensive.
I’m not saying snowballs are unavoidable. They’re just harder to avoid since they can be fired at a faster rate. Also, the cap is a bad idea since it would screw the other players in the game over if one person just snags all of them.
This also means that attacker mindset can be folded through snowballs, since most people rush but don’t get resources, so getting resources instead of being rush only gives more strategy than brute force.
There are already ways in BedWars to counter people with the attacker mindset that aren’t as cheesy (Cough cough bows). Also, one thing that confuses me is that you say bows and arrows are too expensive (When they really aren’t once you upgrade your generator enough), but you then suggest snowballs to be added at an extremely high emerald price with a cap that makes obtaining them more difficult than getting a bow and arrows. Just upgrade your generator and get a bow and some arrows lol. There’s no need to add snowballs as a way to remedy this when you could simply fix this problem yourself by changing your playstyle.
No this play style has been proven to win almost all of your games. also, I mainly use planks as my block, however as bows cost 5 diamonds, and just for 4 arrows cost 8 gold(hey really have to turn down the prices), I never buy bows cause how much it would cost me and how little I get. And it’s not even like it’s that needed.
What makes you think adding snowballs in at a high emerald price with a cap is gonna be any better if the current price for a bow and arrows is too expensive for you? I still don’t get your point here. If you think the price is too expensive, why not suggest lowering the price instead of suggesting snowballs to be added back? We’re not fixing the problem by adding snowballs in as a bandaid. We’re just creating more problems on top of the already existing problems, which is not a very ethical way to improve a game (One of the reasons why I wish Hive would’ve focused on balancing SkyWars itself before just slapping in a bunch of new items).
Also, the rushing with planks playstyle only really works well for smaller maps, so its really just a double-edged sword. And tbh, if this one playstyle alone really is proven to win almost all of your games, then that is a problem on its own. Because then, BedWars is gonna run into the exact same problem as Treasure Wars, that being an extremely one-sided meta. So essentially, if we’re just gonna turn this back into Treasure Wars by adding back snowballs, then we’d be back at square one. Replacing Treasure Wars with BedWars would have been for nothing. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather Hive not go backwards here.

I do want Snowballs back. One or two can be used for a combo and one or two can be used to knock someone off of a bridge, so the price of maybe 32 Gold for 2 or maybe 10 diamonds for 2 would be sensible to me. Snowball spammers can be avoided by having the following:
Ender Pearls, Bows and Arrows to hit someone and end the combo, Blocks to block the snowballs from hitting you, and the skill to dodge the snowballs.
I voted, I think snowballs in BedWars should come at the same time as the Boomboxes.
Have a great day!

Both of those pricings for snowballs are absolutely TERRIBLE. Making them diamonds or gold would mean that they could be farmable at your base. Making them emeralds would be the only way to make them somewhat “balanced”, but tbh there’s really no need to have them back to begin with. I’ve already said this MANY times before, but combos should take proper timing and skill to pull off. They should not be made as easy as a simple “Send a player 5 feet into the air” button.
Also, can we stop trying to get snowballs in EVERY SINGLE HIVE PVP GAME??

I think making them cost diamonds isn’t that great because then people could just camp at their base to get them, but making them 1-2 emeralds for 4-6 snowballs would be fine.
