How much do you like snowball buddy!

If I wanted a white splat to follow me around.....I just wouldn't.

They should have just made a cute little enchanted snowman that reassembled itself every now and then by magic or something. I feel they missed the mark on it. I get that its ironic like the pet rock....but it looks like a puddle of white ****

Starlight_Whisper

I find it stupid cute that just to uplifted my day seeing the loyal ball of snow

SpaceElf

It could have been the most amazing thing ever, or the worst thing ever - it was neither. I wanted a snowball literally rolling around after me, but instead it, like, 'throws' itself in my direction and it gets fairly annoying.

Ringing_Nirnroot

I love it but sometimes i think someone threw me a snowball (which is probably intended lol)

Why the heck it goes splat instead of rolling around?

Definitely would be cooler

I love this little guy!

It's my little ploppy. I like it.

supersonic_kitten

I like the rock pet better. Like every time I see someone with a rock pet it makes me go OOOH I WANT THAT but the snowball is like... whatever.

Cirantille

I love it

Still waiting for rock pet to come back to store too

spartaxoxo

I had a pet rock as a child and love my pet rock in game. The snow buddy is alright too. Cute animation

Danikat

I like it. I have the pet rock too which is equally pointless, but at least the snowball was free.

I think as long as you know what to expect when/if you get it then it's fine.

DJfriede

I didn't expect anything. It didn't deliver anything. I still laughed. So after all, it's okay.

SammyKhajit

The fact that it’s dropped (haha pun intended) so easily speaks volume about its desirability.

Yellow_Monolith

No rolling = no like

Technica

It's like the pet rock. Pet rock was a novelty and I got it. I'm obviously gonna get the snowball and I was excited about it... Until I saw people running around with it... Just a white splat on the floor...
I was expecting something like a magically floating snowball with a snow flurry trail as it flew or a snowball that would roll after you along the floor... Not... This. Disappointed but I'm getting it for collection anyway

SammyKhajit

Just looked at it animation again... reminds one of cough phlegm... ugh

SynodicOracle

It's a sadly underwhelming pet. Some people like it and that's okay but for me it's just not enough. To echo as others have mentioned here, it would be cooler if it rolled or floated. But the teleport-splat is super underwhelming and it's barely even visible.

Nairinhe

The good thing about it is that it's just there, it's not intrusive, doesn't flap whatever can be flapped in your face and my BF won't go "oh, I thought that was a mob", trying to murder my pet

CaptainVenom

If only it was like a Olaf wannabe snow guar or something...

Fischblut

3rd option.
It looks nice when I stand close to it and zoon in the camera. The teleport animation is fun. But it is difficult to match it with a mount, that's the closest match I got It looks like the snow which fell down from my Frostbane Sabre cat.

It feels like they phoned in the whole New Life event this year, no achievement for the new writs, a round static white blot for a pet, no new recipes or decorations.

Seriously I get the impression they just were not into or did not have the focus on this year's Christmas event.

The Old Life Festival is a clever idea. And it lets one avoid the New Life quests, if one's sick of them.

I think the implementation of the Old Life Festival is a bit rough, but it basically works.

Rehdaun

It's like the pet rock but worse. At least the pet rock follows you. The snowblob just disappears and splats next to you when you stop. Very unimaginative.

GreenhaloX

Would be better if you can throw it. Ha ha

DragonRacer

Incredibly underwhelmed

emilyhyoyeon

I like it. In terms of snowball stuff I would've preferred it be a group memento that people can interact with and throw snowballs at each other or something but that's a bit extravagant and probably more complicated than I imagine to implement. The pet is really cute though especially for an ice mage character

Technically with everyone working from home they did phone it in lol

That being said, the pet was rather disappointing.

4/5. Not quite as amazing as Rocky, but still delightful. ^-^

It’s funny for what it is no complaints
