1: Reduce the number of mobs and monsters
At the final and second to final room, there's TONS of greavers, ghostmane stalkers that are just a clusterfreak to the eyes. Killing everyone in 10 seconds or less. Also, replacing the Rocket puppies in the miniboss room with regular Slush Puppies would be nice, if not reduce their respawn time. Also making hearts and vitapods would also help.
2: Make the boxes drop more materials and increase their rates
Since the weapon reskins require an ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AMOUNT IF MATERIALS TO MAKE (200 coals? Really?), At least cut everyone some slack and make it worth their time and sparls by making the boxes drop more materials for their weapons (I'm still getting that snowman head)
3: Make the materials be vendored by Randolph
For those who still deem the grinchlin mission to be hard, at least make them an alternative solution to play the Save Winterfest mission.
4: Reduce the numbers of required materials to make one of the winterfest weapons.
200 coals? 75 razor ribbons? 75 bottomless stockings? Please. Only someone who stays up longer than me will be able to do that. Reducing the required materials by about 1/4 to 3/4 would be nice. It would help me get my snowman head faster so I can get to prize box grinding.
5: Give us another chance to get Obsidian Materials and Kat Fetishes.
There's no point in having the Obsidian Weapons and Kat helms in the winterfest crafting machine if it's impossible to get them. I may have all the required materials to get another obsidian weapon (I'm just happy with the gun. I don't plan for anything else), but again, cut everyone some slack so they can redeem themselves. The materials are bound for crying out loud.
1. sure
