Freeze was nerfed! Finally.

[xXx.RazoR.xXx 543]

Friend, you forget the fact that before rebalance, you had only shaft, riko, rail and thunder as an competitive opponent. Now situation has changed. Twins will now be unstoppable. Maybe even smoky. Even isida will now have a chance to get in range, and take freeze out even with smaller hull. This game started to become noob paradise after rebalance, and now it is even encouraged by devs. The dust will cover freeze modifications in garage. Even if you are right, the way they have changed freeze is not acceptable.

I agree with you sir..but,fear not!!!..we can always BUY CRYSTALS if we want freeze to be like before..it is very interesting that this "bug" is just founded just before the "microgrades" will be implemented :/I am very dissapointed with it now..like u sir

[UAA619 97]

I really do beleive that freeze is annoying to you,you are proablly thunder/rail/shaft kind of player..and please kid,let thet be the last time that you are telling someone to shut up..proablly,you can only play face-to-face fight when running from freeze/isida/firebird..get some skills..

I play with firebird or isida and even for me it is annoying even though I barely encounter them. Besides the long range weapons can kill freezes without being damaged as they have more range so they should have less problems with it. So there.

[skitee 555]

I think Freeze is brilliant now. Admittedly, I don't use it - which may be part of the reason for my opinion, but it was universally agreed that Freeze's effect took too quick to take hold, even the slightest of touches set you stalling permanently. Now, Freeze users need slightly more effort to freeze people, which is a lot better for overall game enjoyment, unless you're a freeze user and can't continue a shot for a whole second before beginning your "circling".

Bread and Games.From the time of Romans, it is the greatest way to rule the crowds. I can't believe that nobody seen that there is no paint that has both smoky and twins resistance (I will not comment low grade paints). Strange? - No, it is showing that money comes from no brain, noob battles with a lot of drugs and very small chance for anything less than mammoth to survive. No strategy, no intelligence, no David vs Goliath victories. Only noobs that will buy. Also, ricochet statistics still showing inadequate data in garage. Where is balancing for that? Throughout gaming history, only balanced games could survive more that few years. For example Heroes of Might and Magic 3 even without multiplayer. Diversity of game styles is backed up with proper balancing, don't forget it devs!

vouch for this with this

. i will try to find some video as proof for freeze but i doubt that i have good one. :unsure:

[semyonkirov 29,038]

I have been playing with freeze for two years. This story is very, very sad. The very essence of the freeze, and fun, is dancing in front of turret of a mighty tank( like mammoth) with small hornet or wasp. Now, the delay of freeze effect will make a lot of difference. That Initial contact to enemy made the freeze what it WAS, the best close combat weapon.This is now not M3 that I have in the garage, but M2.6. Outrageous. Unexpected, not announced - A BUG. Your Defensive system: we will balance all the weapons. I don't care. The only thing that is good is that you "accidentally" found it before microupgrades. Balancing the game under pressure of people as Cheap Plastic Flower described, will get you in the never-ending story. We will see in the future, but for now, TO devs are failed, breaking under player complaints.

The delay of freeze effect has been changed by about 4%, that's not that significant. Yes, it was a bug which unfortunately was found after some time. We apologize for this, especially to Freeze guys like you. As for correcting the balance of guns it won't be done under pressure from guys you described. Or under pressure from anyone. The stats will be changed according to players' feedback.

what kind of bug? and so what it was bug? you advertise freeze as it is, we tested and lowed, finally bought and now you tell some stories about bug? wow, again you doing what you want to the detriment of users.

This was a bug in the game code that made the freezing effect kick in faster. It was lowered by about 4%. Now it works as it should, as it was designed during the Rebalance.

[evil.kinevil 64]

Can everyone chill the freak out!? 2 Seconds! Thats how long it will take for your effect to kick in, im sure you can last for 2 seconds, unless you are really that weak

i am sorry Semyon but it seems to me that Tanki did just that caved under pressure (feedback :) lol)

i only say this dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

you say tomato, I say tomahto

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Freeze is still overpowered, I don't really get what's the problem.

I get frozen a lot.

 

I wouldn't mind an extra decrease in stats... not at all.

Same for Twins.

[HEAVY.LOAD 11]

I'll clarify everything for you guys. After receiving lots of complaints about Freeze our game designers decided to check everything.

In the process of correcting errors in the game code we found a minor bug that was making the freezing effect stronger and faster than it was meant to be.

The bug has been corrected and now Freeze works as it should and as it was designed after the rebalance.

The changes are very small but there are some, yes.

:o :o "WOOOO man u serious after reading this n others comments it seems its all cooked up just before the launch of microupdates to incease the purchse of it as freez really used to stop the tanks n now we say that it just a bug on freez effect nothing serious as now its incapable of stopping easily n that too after 6 months of launch of rebalance when everything is assumed as it is. The whole picture seems to like u got a car n after few months car company gone to everybody home to take off there tyres REASON there was a bug while taking cost of whole car"

:blush: :blush: i apologies for above well at first glance it all seemed like that but later when i put my mind in peace it seems, its not cooked up or planned it must be an accident by mistake as i found Semyon Kirov as already said sorry for that even he has done nothing instead he has helped us by imforming that it was a bug on freez effect if i were in his shoes i would have skipped this problem or headche of telling that "what happened to freez effect?" by locking this topic to avoid criticism or big mouths on it and everything must have gone under mat(means quite n unknown that happened).

BUT yes really its the mistake of TO engneers team who for last 6 months couldnt catch this bug on freez as result we assumed its balanced after rebalance n due to this fault some bought paints of protection n others bought gun or some both. Thereby i must request the TO managment as they fixed the bug ....its good but really we got duped by it n a fault is fault for which players paid for it so humble request

TO PLEASE ATLEAST GIVE FREEZ PLAYERS AN OPTION BY RETURNING CRYSTALS OR ANY MEANS SO THEY DECIDE ONE MORE TIME TO WEATHER BUY IT AGAIN OR NOT AT THERE RISK AS BUG GOT FIXED AND EFFECT HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO ACTUAL LEVELS

I hope the TO managment team will surely find solution to this UNLESS N UNTILL IT WAS ALREADY PLANNED BY THEM TO DUPE BY SAYING BUG

WE LOVE TANKIONLINE YIPEEEE :tank:

After careful scientific study and review, one full bag of Cheetos = THEORY and 1/2 bag of Cheetos = SCIENTIFIC FACT, I have came to the conclusion that Mr. Kirov is correct. Freeze is still a very effective weapon and the "update" to it has very little, if any, effect upon game play. Well done.

 

Perhaps in the future Tanki can "nerf" the Twins. The "knockback" is outrageous and the RANGE is too long. Has anyone noticed how that "Kiddie Gun" can destroy you over almost the entire length of Iran ? It's almost a Rail Gun !!! How about the Rico ? It is still very effective in Iran, but it really needs a good BUFFING. Maybe give it a few more shots per full charge. Let's say 15 maybe and what about increasing the grads per second to match that of the Freeze. It is a fun weapon to use. It seems a shame to just toss it on the scrap pile.

 

Those are my thoughts and yours may be different, fellow Forum members. As usual I respect only my opinions since I am always RIGHT. Be happy that I even acknowledge your existence. Accept my GREATNESS. You know you want too.

[I.Devastation 2,053]

I hate the update.... Freeze's turn faster than before -.-

Welcome back Mr.Flower. ^_^

[be-true-to-all 1]

Cheating Railgun players are hacking the anti-cheat game code.

 

Will the devs check the game code please because Railgun, Thunder and Shaft are over powered. This unbalances the battles. Twins and Smoky seem ok. Freeze is now useless and not worth a crystal.

[Anark_God 1]

A GIGANTIC FACEPALM

Ho... it's not potatos, it's potatos....LoooooooL.....just grate !!!!

I told you so...Proved my point.

We ain't no fools

....well...not all....but....you know.

rco down, freeze down, and i ain't got me a decent whepon now, no sr....

...huuuuu it's a conspiracy......noooooo we tested.....huuuuuuu you r all crazy.....

....wellllll......it was not that...

it was a bug but we killed it...keep calm....everything is gonna be allright....

"(shut up and get used to it, - hey man, to many isildas in the game , make them just heal the adversary....hehe....that will make them buy other gun....heheheheh .)"

Lol Shaft is OP? When your scoping, you don't find your enemies. Your enemies find you. People who shaft have to sit and wait for the enemy. Try using it and you'll know.

[FC_BayernMunchen 1,941]

Shaft is weak not OP

I did not say it was OP. It's not that weak, its just that the other weapons are better.

and again, thats very lame excuse. your testers TESTED, you approve, advertise and even let us try on Test server. we tested, loved, bought and now what? now, you need to refund crystals as you did before with shaft. oh, no, no need, YOU MUST. that's not what I paid for it and i want my crystals back.

[r_SwagBoy110 421]

The frozen effect should be reduced by 65%, tbh.

Yeah, I'm imagining it. ^_^ It'd be lovely. So many people would stop using freeze.

agreed..even I bought freeze by testing it first on test server..this isn't fair..freeze mode kick's in with a delay,so that way is emty for too short time..if that stays..I want my cry back

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you

[Playep 355]

I never notice...until NOW

 

Well,yea,It is slightly nerfed,but actually it only save half a second and maybe some crystals for us.

 

So,what's the point to argue with it?
