Giving and Receiving Snowflakes from Snowballs

Catching Snowballs

You are right, my bad. I used the search bar on top of the main page, not the one from the Cards section (I thought it works the same).
What were the Christmas gifts? Think the site derped on mobile yesterday and couldn't figure out how to open my gifts :'(
Oh well, least I can still throw snow balls at ppl! ❄️😁⛄
Check your account manager > avatar borders, maybe you got them. There was a display issue, even if you opened the gifts, they were still showing countdowns as if you didnt. But if you clicked on em, you should have gotten the contents.
Christmas gifts were Snowflakes along with cosmetic items as avatar borders :)
Can someone give a hint for this clue of hearthstone please?
"Some people like to send cards. Some other people like to make their own."
It is not a card was also confused then i understood and punished myself for being kinda dumb.
Think of a place that involves making your own cards.
Thanks!
Test of the Snowball border
I'm just missing 2 clues from Mythgard :
-Not Aurelion's one
- Great for your Thanksgiving gathering, and will last until Christmas!
Help would be appreciated - thanks
The card really does look like aurelion sol, try to search cards with the 2 main things that come to mind when you think of aurelion sol
For the thanksgiving one, think what do you eat on thanksgiving, now what class would that thing be if it was from hearthstone (mech, elemental,...)
If those clues were not enough don't worry i got plenty more
Thanks, the snowball's on me!
The gifts are no longer available?! 😭
I clicked on them before when the countdown timer was still running, but nothing seemed to have happened. What were the gifts anyway? Perhaps I do have them without me knowing it?
Btw, the time window to collect them was a bit narrow. It's still Christmas over here in Europe.
We had presents available for 38 hours which I feel was enough time for people to come and get them. We had the notice here that said they'd be available come December 25, posted about their availability in a frontpage article, and made sure there were timers so people knew how long they were up for.
FWIW, you did unlock them. Several hundreds of snowflakes, 2 avatar borders, and a couple of new forum titles. You should have received a corner popup on the site when you clicked each of the presents telling you what you received :D
The gifts aren't going to be present exclusive though - they will get added to the shop in exchange for snowflakes after a brief exclusivity period. The real gift is that they don't cost an arm and a leg to unlock them :D
Cool, and kudos for double-checking for me, much appreciated!!
Here, have a snowball on me 😁🖐🏻❄️
Btw, I primarily browse on my mobile phone, so the corner popup is not that clearly noticable.
Also, I usually associate a countdown timer with stuff becoming available instead of the other way around. Card reveal countdowns for example. I did overlook the explanation text above though. Anyways, I did not miss out on the free stuff.
Me when Pezman is the first to reach a 100 after me: ”Oh? You’re approaching me?”
Me when Pezman passes me within a day: “Wait no”
Oh it's on my friend! Come get some
