FREEZE should not exist or at least be different...please consider

[ThanksAndFarewell 0]

So your problem is that Freeze freezes you so you can't move or do anything? Your only solution then, companion, is to equip yourself with an affordable paint that has good protection from Freeze, so you can overcome and overpower.

Like i responded to another person, lots of people will get this anti-game freeze because of its power. Then lots of people will have to get the anti-freeze paint to be able to overpower it.

For a game that should be based on TANKS dynamically shooting at each other, battles with freeze/anti-freeze characteristics cannot get any more stupid. And believe me, there will be plenty of them.

I guess I just can't please you, then...

I really appreciate your help, really!!

But I think there is a bigger problem and that's why I decided to complain on the forum.

If I want to continue playing this game, I will have to get the anti-freeze. That sucks though. It's like accepting that most people will be relying on this stupid, silly, anti-game weapon called freeze.

Actually, Freeze, though it is powerful, can be easily avoided. First of all, I know that you are irritated. This is understandable. But first, I would say that you are going to have to adjust a little. All tankers know that if a gun becomes strong, they will have to be able to beat it. But now you have to be skilled enough to beat all the guns. However, if you don't like a gun, just play a map that freeze might not be as used.

 

If you use a long-ranged gun, its best to just stay away from maps where your long-ranged gun will not be as useful as a powerful, short ranged one. And protective paints are there for a reason. If you specially do not like some gun, it is always a good choice to invest some crystals to make your experience more fun.

 

However, you will not need these. They are there for your use, and if you do not use them, it does not mean you will not get a fair shake at freeze.

 

Remember, to balance the game, Freeze has a short range. You should be able to stay out of its range for a little while if you back up and fire your "Twins" or "Smokey" at Freeze. If Freeze gets into close enough range to hit you, most of the time it is your own fault.

[RockandRide 12]

really ridiculous comment you've just made. Sorry, I am from a democratic country. Apparently you are not. Actually, I have paid for some crystals. I like the game and I want it better. It's people like ME who makes things better.

YOur comment should be erased. It's a celebration of dictatorship and ignorance.

Ive paid $500 and I dont go around saying I make the game better, because, you clearly don't. This is a company not a country, there is no democracy. Read the Rules.

^ That double post is quite amusing. Ranger7, again, your first paragraph is worthless. A Freeze can be effective ANYWHERE, it just depends on what level of skill the player is using. Thinking of Combe, good for Shaft, Smoky, Thunder and Railgun, but Freeze can be just as powerful if the user can infiltrate the defence.

[AB15Teen 2]

i disagree!

you should play with robots, flying machines, all that stuff.

this is about tanks. not about throwing freeze. It's a silly weapon for superficial gamers.

[MaximilliamtheGreat 0]

I appreciate your comment and your suggestions, I mean it.

Bottom line for me is that this is a game about tanks. Freeze is for flying machines, robots, all that stuff that makes lots of noise, bright colors, all the ultra superficial generation of gamers who will never be able to understand a decent, full of character, old school war game. Even ricochet that I use is somewhat of a distortion, but it's still OK. But freeze should belong to another kind of game. That's my opinion.

By the way, I've just left a game against two freeze together. It was becoming ridiculous. There is pretty much no fight.

And it's so funny to see the kids going for freeze!! Of course...it's overpowered.....and nobody really cares about a good fight. What a shame...

If you want reality, play WoT. Tanki is about imagination.

Am I double posting again?

[r_Otto_I0 0]

Sorry Max but you really dont get it here.

Of course it is mega annoying to get caught by a freeze from behind and there is little you can do but wait to die... But this happened because the freeze player played his game well, sneaky and got into your back first of all and you missed to watch you back...

Python has become quite cheap now at 5050 crys (30% discount in 5 hours so 3535 crys!) (available at 3rd lieutenant) and gives still 32% protection. (There is also as very cheap option with already 23% protection Jaguar for 2300 crys (or at 30% sale 1610!). Best weapon vs freeze if you like mid to short distance is rico or twins.. cause with those you are able to slow down the freeze tank who is approaching you as well and kill before he gets into his short <20m freeze range. In the past a viking with python and rico was the terror of all freeze users who didnt have a serious anti-rico paint. In long distance maps.... kill the freeze from far before he even thinks of attacking you...

Sure you wont always succeed but freeze is just one weapon of now 9 different ones.

Shaft used to be the evil one, too, cause it could kill most tanks in a single shot unless you had protection paint which also makes a game boring when you get killed the moment you re-spawn... So I got Jade and went after them, having fun every shaft I killed ;)

You say flying tanks ... well, if you want a realistic tank game go and play WoT, it is for sure more realistic and maybe for you more fun...

But Tanki is how it is and has "no real" weapons like Twins, Ricochet, Freeze, Railgun, Shaft, and even Firebird is nothing you see as Weapon used vs Tanks...

While waiting for sale I made a new account after re-balance and played with the newbs on low level with m0 ... cheapest and early to get m1 was firebird so i got it and have a lot of fun... i may not beat all freeze but unless they get me from the back I always get at least a draw... I might die first but they are doomed to die 2 or 3 seconds later ;)

But you sound like you are playing Island or Farm where Freeze is one of the strongest weapon and should not be surprised then...

[A_N_F_O 9]

All i can say is that the "freeze" the freeze gives should be shorter. Other than that i have no problems

[splitterpoint 10,986]

The tank should be freezed; when attacked by freeze; just as long before the rebalance; now it got doubled or something.

It's really frustrating; especially for mammoths.

[WookySpolf 63]

It is a little annoying, but with paint Zeus (I've have recently been on the test server) almost no-one can kill you. But to solve thje present issue, but Python (I think...).

[WookySpolf 63]

^ 'Scuse the typo.

[Queen.GangsTa 19]

don't know if you realize this but the game is fun for the freezes...

[KiwiZaphod 53]

ReBALANCE - emphasis on the balance.

So you are saying : "I used to be able to kill freeze players easily, and now its kind of hard..."

Yup; so the game is more BALANCED.

A decent long range weapon chews up the freeze or Isida player at a distance, but let them in close (especially with that big ol' thunder) and you are in trouble.

Get new tactics; go in with backup that has decent short-range offensive power, get new paint, and maybe even (gasp) buy a Freeze!

No gun should be perfect, or overpowered. We should regularly see all guns (and hulls) on the battlefield. Then the game is *balanced*

We didn't used to see much variation - so the game was *unbalanced*

[Valletta 834]

Exactly. I would like at least the freezing time to be shortened, because now its just ridiculous. I have a 20% anti-freeze paint so I don't have too much of a problem with the damage...

[BUGATTI_PRO_LATVIA 1]

i disagree .. all weapons are over powered . so game is balanced

If freeze has been overpowered than so have other guns like railgun and isida

especially firebird I was having a battle with a person using firebird i knockede has tank out but I was still getting damage and I was then knocked out and then it came "_____________ has destroyed abhijitrocks"

 

I dont want to take that person's name and this happens with every firebird.

 

We can't complain ,We need to make our own startegy

 

I am sorry if I am being rude.

~abhijit

they are balance, if you dont like a particular type of weapon buy a paint that has more protection againt the weapons.. simples dont flood the forum with your useless post, it's common sense

I am not saying other weapons are not overpowered. You've missed my point. I am complaining about Freeze because it is ANTI-game. It ruins the battle. Sooner or later more and more people will use freeze and it will become the most boring thing ever.

YOu see they and you were saying Freeze is overpowered like all others! An many people uses Thunder and Isida so i think in one game there will be 3-4 weapon types! Edited December 30, 2012 by BUGATTI_PRO_LATVIA

Many thanks Otto_I, I really appreciate your comments and suggestions.

I will try the WoT. I like action, but in a game about war tanks I want old-school action! I used to play Dog Fight, a simple online game with airplanes. We could improve our aircrafts, but the weapons were all similar and they were all "somewhat real". They stimulated the fight, whereas freeze is anti-game.

Yesterday, once again I was fighting against three freeze simultaneously. My team was great, but fighting against three freeze? For a few minutes it became the most boring game ever. Luckily one of them left and my team was able to defeat the other two. What I am saying is that more and more people will rely on freeze and that's going to ruin the essence of this game - but that's my opinion. I like Sandbox, Iran, Massacre, very different fields. But no, I won't spend 1000 dollars buying various tanks, one for each field.

Yes, I was checking Python and I might have to get it later if I want to continue here. But again, I would be forced to do so simply because the game is going to a different direction, a much worse direction, in my humble opinion.

Good luck to you and thanks again for the feedback!

[MaximilliamtheGreat 0]

Yes, that would be much better already. Right now, the long freezing duration is absurd. It is completely against the nature of what a good war game should be.

Thanks for the feedback.
