    A mob or npc or any character in a game CAN'T become aggresive unless some1 is "playing" with the game editor.
    Why do i think snowmen were "broken" on a purpose to remove them without making upset the PWI community ?
    Bcuz maybe PWE want to create some cash shop "packs" with CHI stones in the close future..

    If you don't know what is or how it looks a game editor , here is an example guide made by me , about editting the Ubisoft's "Anno 1404 Venice" offline game to create quests,items,modify drop rates or even create maps.
    http://www.annofans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=213
    Here is a 3D model for snowmen if some1 need it on renders:
    http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/snowman?item=273
    (do more searchings on google and you might find a free version.)
    DAZ 3D comes in a free version too (youll have to redeem your key on their site) but without many options about animation (AniMate or AniMate + , or even LipSync (Mimic) if you want a char to talk ) (versions 3.1..is better than 4.0 which is still in beta)
    Good luck on rendering your own Xmas wallpapers/snowmen :)

    Except they wouldn't profit from breaking snowmen.
    I can't confirm if snowmen were ever broken on pwcn's side, so it's hard to say.
    It's more like pwcn is getting all the attention, while we are getting nothing but sales in return.

    Gm's don't do anything...
    For the people at pwe that are supposed to put in patches, it's supposed to be translate and replace older files with new ones.
    If they can't even handle copy and pasting correctly, that's a rather big fail... b:sweat

    The gulf between CN and I is amazing: CN listens to the player base and actively solicits feedback (and acts upon it); they actually make it so people might actually want to spend some money on the game; they foster a healthier in-game community; they have GMs with some degree of visibility (ninja GMs don't inspire the fear one would assume); and so forth. Oh yeah, their news page isn't usually months out of date, and their events staff actually posts stuff.

    Being a subsidiary, I'd expect that PWE would take a couple pages from Beijing's book. But considering the escalating problems I'm seeing, it won't matter soon once PWE slams into a brick wall.

    Well I wouldn't put in such a way that wanmei is perfect or anything, but they do treat their cn audience better than pwe treats us.

    Also, even if pwe tried to step up things and make amends, the damage is already done. Players have left, economies are fubar'd, and with the new year coming up...

    There will be many new mmos and non online games coming out...
    What will finally bring pwi down is a certain release of a... few things. Few things that will revive pw, but not pwi or pwcn. Not elaborating on this any further.

    PWE isn't any worse than other NA distributers for games. They all ruin their games in some way. I'm waiting for C9 NA release, but Webzen has license for it and Webzen is garbage.

    Well when you put it that way...
    Wanmei doesn't flood cs with sales...
    Wanmei has only one pack in it atm (not counting those kits), and I'm not even sure if it's a regular pack.
    Wanmei hosts a lot more events.

    You still have to remember though they have their own issues... The most notable being a huge influx of botters.
    You have veno armies on those servers, you have groups of random chars botting together... The community there seems to be less forgiving than ours, always constantly ksing, never wanting to group together, and always fighting for mobs with rampant bots running around. It's less fun to level up in.

    Let's not forgot that Wanmei has yet to fix the ages old bugs, do simple rebalancing for tb and older classes, aps, and barb aggro, and revamp the old graphics.

    Basically, here we have everyone CSing and feeling entitled. There, they have botting issues and people hardcore grinding (and playing "can't beat em? join em!").

    As for game engine problems, that's the same between versions.

    And, wait? You're saying that it's "fun" to sit around watching WC for Frost? Since that seems to be how much of LC "levels up" these days. b:surrender

    No, I meant it's no fun trying to level up in that chaotic environment. On one side, you have a bunch of chinese players constantly ksing mobs, on the other you have a veno army that is snatching any attempt you have of killing a mob away.
    It didn't help I didn't have the best of pings on that server either (had about 1k ping when this was happening).

    b:victory Not a frost fan! Only love the tactics to kill the bosses! People MAINLY FROSTING takes the fun out of leveling.
    Getting back onto PWI again. Should be fun XD

    how long do you think it will be before KrittyCat or other mod comes on and repeats the same thing they said to me? " the snowmen are too dangerous, with a lethal AOE on the Euro server"......but China has the old snowmen?

    how many times have we been told that PWE's content comes straight from China? over and over. so how is it that China has the old snowmen, and Europe has the nasty ones?

    Because it would be too much effort to get the old snowmen working correctly for the english client even if it's just mere copy and paste.
    Silly pwi player, you're not supposed to be expecting fixes when you need/want them. It takes a while for the information to transfer over on the pacific cables. b:cute

    All i hoped for was the return of Snowmans that are passive and can be farmed for chi stones. I dont want any event or anything. If they not bring this pwi is certainly missing something this year and thats sad. I really like this time of the year and its chilling to level a noob char while killing snowman and stock up fireworks for silvester.

    I dont want killer snowman events

    The devs gave us the wrong snowmen. Unfortunately, the devs only give us one patch per month or two, so we can't get the snowmen in time for Xmas.

    There is only one kind of snowmen.
    The snowmen were edited in such a way it baffles the devs at wanmei and thus cannot copy paste over it.

    bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

    Yes, we will get a "Frankie" explanation when enough people fill the forum... til then, the GM has more important things to do... like pick their nose and see how far they can flick their boogers.

    Expect the reply;

    A: Client instability
    B: Cause that's what China sent us
    C: coming soon
    D: I'll look into it
    E: A combination of any of the above.


    Don't worry, after you've played for a year or two... you too will learn not to listen to anything a GM posts. ('bout as worthless as a sin in Caster NV).

    Do what 99% of us forum people do... read the GM post, laugh, and try to ask the player base what's really up. (sad but true, the players know far more than our PWI GMs)

    Merry Christmas all.

    and by the way, the BR servers have had the Find Santa event going since the 15th of Dec... so much for the Technical Difficulties excuse brought to you by our friends at PWI.

    If we had them there'd be "get rid of the snowmen, I'm lagging too much" topics or something of the sort.

    You players have been slammed into that brick wall repeatedly. But humans are resilient and forgiving. Just look at all the people suffering from battered wife syndrome who still defend PWI. lol


    Oh, and it sounds like the Snowmen was turned into an event for CN at the cost of breaking functionality here.

    The Snowmen AOEing sounds like it was done on purpose, but I think PWI staff were never told how this event is triggered or started, if they even received a correct patch for functionality, which they may not have.

    In other words, it's more likely that it isn't broken but PWI staff have no clue how to trigger it properly.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.
