I would love to see PWI implement snowmen again this year. Last year they "failed" and gave

them aoe and had to remove them. They have had one year to fix them. Now I know that

some don't like these guys as they make you lag, but that being said, some of us like my wife

look forward to them ALL year, and to not have them is kinda a let down. Having Headhunters

and other npc's in other cities there really isn't any need to go to archo if your pc can't handle

snow and snowmen. Basically what I would love to see is our beloved snowmen back again

b:dirty

This thread will be flamed and Necroed into the dirt by the regular forum trolls but I hope that

some mods take notice and try to pass the message along b:thanks

    From what I understood outta everyone talking about the snowmen (I've never seen them before), couldn't they just set it up like assault on arch, but change all the mobs to look like snowmen?

    The drops are essentially the same, aren't they?

    Snowmen have some benefits over assault on archo mobs.

    For one, they are ****ing fantastic to level veno pets on.

    They drop chi stones, and vast quantities of them. Genie food! :3

    They are oneshot-sauce for even lower level players, which makes them more fun for, say, a level 35 Wizard or 45 Veno (for those that are going to NOT power level to 104-105 right off the bat).

    Thus, snowmen beat out assault mobs for fun factor.

    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    No the snowmen appear throughout Archo. This was the old event and http://news.mmosite.com/content/2008-12-19/20081219020623098.shtml these were their drops http://www.top1gaming.com/content-94134-Christmas_snowman.html they've taken out the Christmas card stuff but you'd just buy a low lv. bow/arrows and shoot them for the gem drops really. It was great genie and gear mats!

    I killed so many snowmen that I dreamt about them b:dirty I really, truly hope that our snowies will be back this year!!!

    They appeared in all cities. I remember seeing them 2 years ago in every city, and lvl'ing my phoenix on them in plume.

    Oh yes please! I really missed having the snowmen last year. I need genie food! b:laugh Plus the little random fireworks were fun to play with.
    If you bite some one, they get mad and smack you.
    But if you lick them, you still get the flavor.
    And they think you're weird.

    b:chuckle Lol some of my first memories of this game are getting my snowmen sniped by archers as a young cleric. I'd really like them back, even if they're the vicious murdery kind.

    2011 XMas lacked snowmen.

    2010 XMas lacked quests, had snowmen.

    2009 XMas was mostly complete, just one of the NPC's didn't spawn for some of the events.

    2008 XMas was complete.

    It was originally designed for this year, and the dates were set to be year-specific, rather than annually occurring. This caused much problems in later years.

    The PW-CN dev's did not re-code all of the spawn dates for the event functions.

    because the PW-CN Dev's did not bother to fix the dates for the quests so that they would work properly, so it was left out entirely.

    Because they messed up the code in the data file for the mobs and our Dev's couldn't touch it to fix it due to limitations imbued by the PW-CN devs. (BASICALLY, OUR DEV'S AREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE SERVER FILES. Stupid, huh?)

    I think it was 2010, we had a Chinese new year event, but we didn't in 2009. >_>

    And that was the only time I can remember it happening... I was really looking forward to other Chinese based events, but... They are apparently too busy playing Halo on XBox to do anything else.

    Yes and no.

    Most of the quests were left with the original dates
    some have a level req of 150 (aka devs' way of deleting quests)

    In the case of the christmas quests though, the naughty one was actually changed for last year.

    it worked fine on pwcn server last christmas

    pwe has no devs
    just few admins who follow directions from wanmei

    I would love snowmen to come back. Would really, really, really love it in fact. I really really hope they got their act together and fixed these snowmen! It was pretty disappointing not having them last year.

    I did take a look last year as to why there were no snowmen when I was online in game. They were patched in last year, but had to be patched right back out again as they were able to kill characters up to level 105 with one hit. This happened so fast that if you got into range to hit them with an arrow, they could kill you before you got a shot off or could hit them with other weapons or attacks. So, in reply that the snowmen were not ingame last year, this is not true, as they were put in and taken right back out again due to the "snow hitman" glitch. The strange thing about the glitch, from what I could understand from what I read, they were even killing the NPC's.

    With the way so many things were dealt with previously will be interesting to see how Christmas this year is handled.
