So a Freeze M0 drugged-up on DD is just as strong as a Freeze M4?

even higher dps actually, freeze m0 on DD will do 1058 dps while m4 freeze will only do 1000 dps... but lower minimum and maximum range and slower turret rotation.

Do what I do and leave. At least they left us with that choice. I just keep leaving until I enter a battle with one of the three maps I like.

 At the lower levels there are more Freeze turrets than normal. Usually it's 0-1 per team. Now it's more like an average of 2. I have a funny feeling Vulcan might get next buff because the lower levels are also showing an increase of Vulcan users.

maps or opponents highter rank i don`t care very about this, becouse when your team is so weak it`s annoying becouse nvm how you will play your team will lose in the end and this is annoying.

That's why I save myself the aggravation and leave the battle.

Finally freeze is getting buffed...  :wub:

[Maf 32,300]

1000??? more than 30% damage increase?? that's farting mad! that's the same as isida and higher than firebird!

so now freeze has equal dps as isida but has 2 more seconds damage time and 2 seconds less reload time. :o

Unlike Firebird, Freeze doesn't have the additional bonus from burning, and unlike Isida, Freeze's damage drops significantly if the target isn't right next to the tank. So it should be quite a balanced change. Freeze's weakness is undeniable, so it obviously needed a buff. The question is whether this buff was just right or too much, but I guess we'll see about that tomorrow. I feel like Freeze will be the new weapon of choice in DM, since I saw some people getting first place with it even before this update.

When the Matchmaking update came out, one of the major points was diversity in maps. If that's the case then why are there still about 10 maps that are available for play?

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

So now I get to be wrecked by freeze all over again? Thanx tanki, I feel appreciated now :ph34r:

[LittleWillie 3,199]

By not worthwhile, I mean that Isida gives almost no exp (matchmaking only, pro battles are unaffected) when healing, making it better to use it offensively and benefit from the insane dps. I only rarely used Isida in non pro, so it makes no real difference to me. I think exp was reduced by half at least from healing.

Thanks for the tip. I just bought the healing nanobots alt at teh last sale. I used it during an ASL game yesterday but I forgot toe look at the exp after the game! Heh, well I will keep an eye out and learn eventually.

 

Unknown at the moment, but it would be crazy to raise the price above 1 million crystals, so I'm expecting it to be the same.

Crazy is as crazy does. This next box of chocolates could well cost 2mil to MU. TO might be building a BIG OL' Cry sick in this new system.

That's not a boost that's revolutionary. I already done Freeze modules when I see one on the enemy team. This new Freeze ... well I hope you are right.  Maintain range! Yikes.

 

(I figured I'd buy my Isida account a freeze if I ever got it a 2nd turret.  Now I half wish I had bought it on TOBDay sale)

Hi

Freeze is great even now, obviously not for all maps, but those close range, packed, where you easily meet new enemies it's amazing. Obviously with high pressure pump, without it the range of max. damage is just... ehm. Let's see how it does, especially with trooper drone. ^_^

50k for new Drones or a kit in the Shop, while non buyers are spending all they have in new modules.

Looks like Tanki wants to sell Freeze kits now by making it OP.

 

The same reason they are keeping Magnum OP.

Did not see a subtitle in Ideas and Suggestions for Drones so here is an idea for a new drone:

 

Lag Drone- When activated causes all nearby enemy tanks to experience lag for a specified amount of time.

Well this should not be much of a problem once the target starts to slow down, right?

[R3L3NTL3SS 47]

Still waiting for the Magnum nerf evertone knows it's OP. Way more important than Isida nerf you just announced. And yet more annoying drones blah blah.

[siloviki 19]

Well Fire and Freeze are both area effect weapons. This change seems like a pretty good counter to the Isida train. The train will quickly deplete its energy if they have to fend off heating effects the continue to linger on everyone in the train.

 

I see Isida trains rekking enemy teams and I've seen me rekking Isida trains on my own. But I never considered how hard it would be for Fire or Freeze to do this.  I use Isida every day so I see trains from both sides.

 

For Smoky you start picking away at teh rear guy. Impact makes it hard to drive so it loses contact with the train. It is in the rear so its pals do not catch on for a bit. Byu then you are working over Isida #2. If there's a #3 you just move on to it next. 

 

But gire and freeze gota get lose and they get notices.  With so much of their ability based on the heat/cold effects I can see how they had big issues with trains. So I gotta give credit to TO for this one.  Seems like they made a good call.

I don't really care about my K/D ratio so just drove my tank in between 2 Isida's to break the "chain"'. I usually died, oh well, it's not like I died for real, If a teammate sees that they usually targetted the end, chain broken. Personally didn't see the need to nerf Isida. And I'm a Vulcan user. Used  it like close combat fire/freeze to 'break chain'', it was a tactic, it could be beaten without TO doing this.

Nah, just checked in-game, bought the first two MU steps on one of the new drones - same price as the first three.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Clarifying that the XT bundle is for Skins is good.

 

I think Freeze will be OP now, but let see.

 

10 seconds Isida?

Edited June 23, 2018 by r_Issimo2

[Akame 4,578]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but imagine a powerhorse with assault,an isida with mechanic and another isida with supplier, damn that is hefty, this assaut drone basically grants infinite drugs provided u kill a tank under 5 secs after recharge (at m4 atleast). and is the powerhorse situation is as described with those 2 isidas, u pretty much have an invincible ish team, those drones might need debuffs soon

Man!! Freeze is tooo OP!!

Now has the damage of Isida!! but without its drawbacks (single target, short range and complicated to aim properly in some maps).

Freeze is easy to aim, enemies cant scape and can reach multiple targets, plus with its modifications has even more damage and reach.

[OldCoot 0]

How about fixing the game by getting rid of Matchmaking?  It hasnt solved the team imbalances, there's only a handful of maps that we're stuck playing over and over, and you've made it so much more difficult to play with clan mates and friends.  Basically, Tanki, you've taken all the fun out of Tanki.  If you cant play the game with your friends, what's the point?

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I joined a battle and got spawn killed by a Freeze (likely M2) before I got the time to check that I was one of the lower ranks, I was, Sergeant Major, against WO5s.

 

It's my fault, I was browsing while waiting and it took me like to seconds to react to the sound of Freeze and go to the client. I'm not blaming Freeze or Matchmaking.

 

Do not browse and wait, it's dangerous.

[donut70 97]

I currently have more trouble with isida than fire or freeze, but most of my issue is with magnum.

I suggest making the magnum shot travel at half speed (meaning in flight for twice as long), to make it more like its artillery persona, rather than just being a much stronger thunder that can also fire over walls from behind perfect cover.
If not that then make the magnum do less damage at closer ranges than it currently does, maybe linking LAUNCHING shot power to the percentage of max damage. (which just makes sense due to physics).
