Snowmen Problem

OK so after playing a small amount of the game on live servers between the crashes, snowmen seem to be way more frustrating then they are rewarding.

They promote lone wolfing and potentially team killing.

People hunting them dont want to squad up for fear that their teammates will steal them from under you, they really should make the bonuses atleast partially given to all squaddies, to promote team play and team fun, as it stands now it forces very antisocial behaviors and is a negative to the entire christmas spirit!

EDIT:

Please SOE promote teamplay and give 100% of the rewards to the drivers of vehicles if their gunners blow up a snowman, this would go a long way to promote a fun team environment.

The mistake was adding the golden ones. For that reason I am camping in a desolate area until I get one, and so is everyone else.

Exactly, these snowmen really are hurting this type of squad and even platoon based gameplay. It makes me sad

reminds me typical mmos where u need to camp special bosses that drop special weapons -_-

Personally I love things like this in fact. This is also day one when everyone is running around finding them more than playing. Later in the season it'll be a we bit different. maybe make it so it explodes and everyone picks it up or something.

I would love more random objectives like these. more team objectives more than every man for themselves objectives.

how much damage does it take to kill one? Same as normal infantry? They should have made them spawn randomly instead of in specific locations.

Get Zephyr Lib, fly over empty wasteland, profit.

Yes its that exact style of even, except in those types of games teamplay is only required to run dungeons and raids, and isnt done usually in a PVP environment where you would WANT teammates.

Here its a double edged sword because you want teammates to watch your back but dont want teammates because they could potentially steal it from you.

I feel this is detrimental to the entire christmas feel, as it makes me want to spend less time with my friends then normal

Wrong, only your gunner profits, not the driver, so there is NO incentive to use a zephry, unless the driver dosnt care about the event, which is bad for the event.

Im talking about farming the hunters. Easy Pickins.

So what do the regular and golden versions give anyway?

Snowmen give 500xp each

Gold snowmen give potentially more XP and a confirmed hood orniment, potentially more.

Don't blame the system for the flaws of the players IMO.

500 xp?

I got a better solution.

1. Find one on the very open field.
2. Pick long range bolt, and hide 150 away.
3. Spam "yells" about golden one
4. Profit from OHK



2 greedy guys = more xp then a snow man.
Perfect farming.

Time to farm infantry with my Parallax.

Well, in 90% of situations, a vehicle kills the snowman, so i donno if that idea is gonna work out.

so anyone already have the map locations for snowman?

Or another infiltrator shows up, snipes your snowman down and peaces out?

Genius. If you can actually Snipe (Unlike me)

People are camping snowmen for a bit of XP and a chance at a fecking hood ornament?

Nutters.
