Was this modified so it no longer has the chance of deflecting snowballs? Every single snowball that's been thrown at me has come through.

I'm a little confused. XD;

I know it still blocks them 'cause I just threw a snowball and instead of the message saying BAM I hit them, I got a message saying the snowball I threw was defected by a shield.

You might just be getting tons and tons of snowballs thrown at you. :p

It works. Though after the last several site crashes it appears I have been pelted a good amount and yet I have seen the same amount of alerts telling me when one makes it through. Yet I have literally stayed covered in snowballs. And never mind trying the hairdryer of melty, it did squat for me. Tried it twice now.

Oh, I know there's that chance but the events stopped working in regard to "This user has thrown a snowball at you!" And they just appear on my HA.

Which has lead me to believe something really got broken. XDD

They actually removed the events from the sidebar, assuming people would throw a bitch hit at hundreds of events from just snowballs. The snowball events now show up at the top of the page as they happen. :)

I've seen that but even then, it's rarely, if ever, that I get the event.

Does anyone know if the Snowball Reflecting Shield just deflects the snowballs or if it actually stops the other team from getting that point?

I tried figuring this out on my own, but there's a cache delay on the counter so I didn't get a consistent result. Subeta was also laggy last night, so there was no way to tell for sure by looking the user up and checking out their HA.

You'd need to find someone patient to help you, or file a Ticket in Help and hope they will answer on this, I think.

I just joined Team Tobias, bought 25 snowballs, threw them all at random opposing team members, got 3 or 4 messages that the snowball had been reflected, and ended up with a personal score of 25 so... I can say with a fair amount of certainty that they still count.

Does anyone know if the achievement for getting hit with a snowball works? I gotten hit many times, but I still haven't gotten the achievement.
