Unrelated questions, Snowman and Pierce

Ok I have 2 unrelated questions.
First one is about Snowman boss, does he still spawn? If so, where? I've been at valley of the snowman for over 2 hours, surfing channels and killing, but I haven't seen any, or anyone. The map is also weird, the right part of the middle platform teleports yetis to the top, and if I stand there, Maple crashes.
I'm starting to think that I'm in a wrong map, a duplicate of the valley or something, NO Snowmen at all in 2 hours is weird... I entered the Valley from top left of the first map past the level barrier NPC.

Second Question is about Pierce. I recall there was a patch where Big Bang and Pierce where fixed so that it doesn't cancel when bumped by a monster, was that chaos, or did it already happen and it's only for Big Bang?... also, when writing this a 3rd question popped up in my mind. How does the damage work for Pierce? I know it increases but what's the factor.

Thanks for all the answers in advance.

Snowman spawns at the Yeti and Pepe map now.

Thanks for that I should've asked 1 hour earlier... or 2

I'm fairly certain you still lose pierce when you get bumped.

Never heard of losing pierce while getting bumped into.
It's probably more of an inconvenient thing when you try to fire it but happened to get bumped off the ground for a split second.

Damage increases by x1.20 or 20% after each mob it hits after the first.

you loose pierce when you release in the air during the small time you're off the ground when you get bumped, because bowman can't shoot mid air. the pierce multiplier is 1.2 for every additional mob. so on the first you hit base damage, on the second base damage * 1.2, on the third base damage * 1.2 * 1.2. or damage * 1.2^(mob count -1)

EDIT: ninja'd

Thanks for the answers.
Does anyone remember anything about a patch that made the bump thing better? I remember reading it about Big Bang (skill), but nothing about Pierce.

I noticed right after big bang that my pierce lost mid bump rate decreased. almost like I could still release pierce during the first few moments of the bump. Other than that I haven't heard anything about it

Big Bang still has the "if you use in midair, you lose it".
