Buff Jingle Bells

I know, I know Jingle Bells are OP please nerf!! But I'm being completely serious here Jingle Bells need a buff...
I mean for an item we can only get once a year to do mediocre damage with the reload of a base standard mortar is ridiculous.
I know Jingle Bells aren't an actual weapon and they are more a collectable you save to show off later on but they should atleast be usable at all levels of gameplay for those who want to equip these items... I mean I wouldn't even recommend a mk1 to use these in combat... and if you get higher it gets worse... my mk3 defender has 34 defense(I don't even use it) correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean jingle bells can never damage me? (The highest atm is T2 if you got 2016 and 2017, a damage per level, so 20 damage without perks, maybe 22 with perks) so... for the most part if you are in masters, ace or nightmare you can't even do damage with jingle bells... My argument is a little flawed with the custom battle update but I want to be able to share my holiday cheer with everyone, battling and pushing infamy with jingle bells... I expect it to be more challenging sure... but Bells literally get rid of an item slot if equipped so here are my suggestions to make them better:

Boost damage: once again I know they aren't supposed to be a full on weapon but they should atleast do enough damage to compete...

Lower cooldown: With 20 damage at T2 the cool down should be equal to a cannon preferably less...

Attachment: here's my third suggestion which I think would be the best solution that keeps it as a collectable rather than an actual weapon... make it a separate attachment, take away the damage but give jingle bells its own slot... Giving this special item its own slot will allow players to equip it without sacrificing fire power, this will also open up opportunities for other special items...

Most players don't even bother equipping Jingle Bells and I'm not sure how many use horns (I never had horn so I don't know if it is a good weapon or not). These suggestions could maybe make them more popular...

 

It's more of a souvenir. Plus if it was decent all the newbies coming in after Christmas would eventually start complaining because there is a decent item they have to wait a year for.

Oh and #NerfJingleBells

 

That's why I said...

I'm not saying they should do blast cannon or even standard cannon damage but they should atleast do enough damage to be used... as I said my mk3 defender has 34 defense with a big shield with one epic on my big shield(25 without)...

 

That was my third suggestion and I agree we should be able to atleast see it on a ship...

 

Damn it. I scraped mine. If they buff it then they better return my jingle balls. BELLS .. I meant bells.

 

That's why I don't like to get rid of rare items in Video games in general, never know when they will prove useful I'm not sure they are going to redistribute the bells even if they do buff them... I'm holding on to them though buff or no buff...

 

what if it did a little bit of dmg, but more than it does now, and it buffs freindly attack and speed withen a certain radius.

 

Yes maybe it can be a booster item... but then again everyone who doesn't have one is going to nag about it...

 

Shame it isn't a summon effect..

Jingle Bells: Summon an angry Santa (or Krampus) to punish the naughty boys and girls (unfriendlies) by dropping explosive presents from upon high.

 

Jingle Bells are OP, I oneshotted @vis1234567899

 

u toldme not to shoot u lol, i wa swondering about when this was going to be put up on the forums

 

@TheAntiSnipe That is off topic and irrelevant to the current conversation, please delete it.

Spoiler

 

we are not amused, u are dampening the effect of the jingle bells ( I scrapped mine lol)

 

JINGLE BELLS 360 DEGREE NO SCOPE 1v1, CRITICAL HIT FTW!!, JINGLE BELLS ARE OP PLEASE NERF!!

 

Scap it and get 276 epic parts...
i hope that is the real gift they provided with it...

 

would have been better if after leveling it turned into a legendary piece... but in the meantime it should also be worth equipping (if for no reason other than to encourage people to keep it and equip it for the jingle bell audio) and harder to level completely, so you feel like you earned that legendary piece. Something to remember for the next seasonal event. Even so, I appreciate the epic parts...

so far i have no legendary items at all, nor pieces, but do have 10 power cells, 11 parts, and I'm not exactly a new player

 

I wouldn't like this... even if it is for a legendary piece... I want to keep my jingle bells... I just want them to be effective in battle...

yes, I agree and it should have a visual component so you can see jingle bells on a boat

EDIT: "BUMP"
