    Snowmen pop up and disappear 4/5ths of the time before I can click on them when I go near them, it's very annoying. Can't get snow essence very easily this way, bugged in area outside Kingshill and area outside Res Comm Cen. Please fix. Tegan server. Have latest video driver, just downloaded new game data today, flushed it 2 days ago, latest java, and latest direct x.

    Partial fix/workaround for this bug. Flag for PVP or visa versa since you will be put in a different instance if you change and revisit the maps. Then switch back and repeat. It does not work in everymap, but there are enough wilderness areas you can find what you need. Still annoying but at least its a way to get by the bug till they decide the obligatory hotifx it due.

    Reason this is happening.

    When he pops on your screen someone put a nose on him right then. If your in a group you will likely get 0 drops. Suggestion... Have everyone in the group get there and then click on them.

    Once I farm beats I got from wild forest to iron forest clicking on snow men. That makes for 120 snow essence to 500.

    You don't need a group ... every player collects for himself.
    Best way to farm snowmen is to do it solo ...

    Yes this is best but I just know where all the snow men are. I run to them and the others follow. Its just a memory game :)

    Someone made maps of the snowmen and put a link here in the forum. So everyone can know where the snowmen are. Even if there were no maps on the forum, everyone who starts farming snow ess should make his own maps. It takes a little more time at first but then you save more time and energy and don't wander around in circles to look for these snowmen. It's obvious that farming snowmen without a map or without remembering the locations is very inefficient and a big waste of time :p

    Sorry maybe I just like to be helpful the first couple of days with new players.

    I tried helping others too, but then I couldn't change maps anymore when I saw that the map I just entered had 0 snowmen because that would mean everyone in the group should reset.

    Then maybe someone else finds a map with no snowmen and here we go again, everyone out of the map again. Billy, go out of the map... Billy?.... Guys, Billy is offline, should we wait for him or kick? XD

    Once I made it through all maps I disband and did the event. Odd thing once I had enough snow farming was useless I always got more.

    Last event Iron Forest and Misty thing were my maps for snow. Since now we frequently see the snowman going down instead of waiting for our clicks , i decided to run all places in a row following the maps from forum. It works great and faster than it used to be.

    I thought it was a bug at first.
    Now I think BigPoint just wants us to move around all the maps. It keeps the easy maps from being overloaded, and travel time eats up the clock.

    If you are in a group, then leave the group. That is what I did and it fixed the popup/popdown problem with the snowmen.

    You didn't fix anything ... you just changed instance.

    Same whether in group or not, L50 SW Heredur here, as I approach snowmen they just disappear? Needs a fix!

    It appears that DSO will fix the problem by closing the event on schedule.
    They may give us another chance to suffer through it, if they stay in business until next Winter Solstice.
