Freeze turrets everywhere?

Everyone already bought Freeze, but not everyone bought and upgraded the Freeze protection module  :ph34r:

I have not had much success with Freeze this week. Protections are popping up everywhere, so its bee tough going. Freeze should be unbuffed, but not to where it was before. It is good to have another turret people have to respect so they remove their thunder/rail protections for it.

In the last battle enemy had 5 freeze turrets.  I think Tanki has now sold enough Freeze turrets and can now nerf it down a bit.

But you're right. Developers might give it some more time so people believe they're microupgrading the best turret in the game. I am planning to buy Freeze protection only to see Freeze nerfed slightly after that purchase...

 

They swapped stats between Hunter and Viking, made Isida's healing completely useless and Magnum has never been nerfed since it came out lol.

 

Everything can happen. They might rip you off completely with these 'balance tweaks' if you have only one turret and hull in your arsenal because technically you're milking out the system. They rendered sole Isida users like my alt completely useless and my main has an M4 Isida with nanobot alt sitting in the garage for, I think; the rest of time.

 

Time for everyone to buy more turrets and protection paints only to find out that your garage is full of underpowered items because there are not enough crystals to upgrade them.

To answer the OP... yes.  The immense boost to Freeze DPS was flabbergasting at the announcement. Everyone predicted instant OP status and this time everyone was right. It is a farce. It is impossible to understand why this level of over-compensation was approved.

I usually am in agreement but not WRT Isida. It's the opposite of useless. It is the King of Team Battle. When you are in the flow it is sublime.

 

For DM I make no claims. When I play it though I give more than I get.

What's the problem with this Freeze craze? Yes, Freeze was buffed. Yes, Freeze deals a lot of damage. But I don't get this: how does that make it OP? Pfft... tbh it's actually good that Freeze gets recognition, been years since it was last considered a threat. Still... HOW is it OP? Why are people obsessed with Freeze?

 

And try not to accuse me of never having faced a Freeze. Try not to accuse me of using Freeze either - I believe I have 0 seconds of playtime with Freeze or the Freeze module, whatever its name was. Badger? Grizzly?

Hello,

I also noticed it. I have been playing Juggernaut mode recently, or even today, when it comes to killing Juggernaut, it's not bad, but it's hard. And when it comes to being a Juggernaut and killing others, it's impossible. it annoys :P

Its even worse. I get like 3-5 xp for full healing and 1 for half. I dont care for multing its tanki's fault that i always end up last while trying not to kill anyone.

Any time a weapon is buffed, it's a marketing ploy and players fall right into the money pit. Here's how it works:

 

Freeze buffed.....

 

Players see how OP it is and buy it (money pit)

Those who own it start MUing to use it. (money pit)

 

Players who don't have antifreeze module see how OP Freeze is and buy module (money pit)

Those who have antifreeze module start MUing it (money pit)

Out of the 13 protections now, Rail and Freeze are practically a must. That leaves 1 protection to choose from the other 11 to complete your ensemble.  

 

The reasons given for the freeze update were bogus.  It's about spotting an opportunity, as always, to increase revenue. They'll have to nerf it sooner or later. It's all I've been using lately. Hornets and wasps are gone in a heartbeat and I don't even stop to see if they've been destroyed now. Ridiculous game balance.

 

So if I was a biased freeze player I would say keep it as it is, it's not OP and tell everyone to stop crying. But i'm not biased, I'll continue to use it while it's stupid OP compared to the other turrets.  Hopefully the game can get their money soon from Freeze related sales and they'll nerf it to restore some kind of game balance again.

That is exactly what happened to my shaft after nerfing shaft. I just had to switch over to freeze, because I have MU-ed freeze more than thunder and freeze is better in non-pro for getting kills

One aspect of freeze that needed buff was freezing effect. I think Devs misunderstood problem with freeze. Freeze should be able to kill people even on light hull against heavy hull, when they come from behind, It isn't happening still right now. At higher ranks I see people turning around and starting shooting at me even if they misunderstand direction where I am going and do 270* instead of 90

They may or may not nerf it but don’t count on Freeze changing anytime soon.

 

Honestly I think either Smoky or Ricochet are up next for a surprise buff. Both of those are pretty meh in Legend MM battles. Personally I’d love to see Rico buffed - it runs out of ammo before doing much of anything. Sure it’s good in PRO battles, but IMO PRO battles won’t be around much longer (different topic though).

Smoky yes, rico no.  I use less time protecting against smoky than I do rico. That tells a story.

This relates to my resistance make-up today for time played.  I usually change twice in a battle to adapt.  All my protections are m4 so their is no MU bias.  I do play mostly ctf and I prefer to attack with primary focus on wins, not kills.

Hmm, but looking at your chart one would conclude Rico is more of a menace than Magnum. I don’t thinks many would agree.

Those were my stats for today. The story is there if you want to read it.
