Change high pressure pump or shock freeze augment's icon for freeze.

Recommended Posts

I just realized that freezes augments - high pressure pump and shock freeze - have almost identical looking icons. This will be an issue when you're in battle, and trying to figure whether the freeze is using shock freeze or HPP.

 

My suggestion is to simply give one of them a new icon.

Gauss and Magnum's AP Augments have the EXACT same icon lol. They're not just "similar", they're the same if you look them up.

I'm aware, lol. But honestly all status augments should just be removed. Problem solved.

What about the poor buyers who spend thousands of dollars for them and actually help the game to stay alive, what would they get in return?

High Pressure Pump looks like a wheel while Shock Freeze has a more appealing and symmetric shape of a snowflake.

Refunded of course.

In battles, you wouldn't enough time to differentiate the two from each other. The battle info makes the icons really small.

I see where you're coming from. But what exactly do you gain from this happening?

Being able to differentiate between the two while in battle.

Does it matter? All I'm saying is that they look too similar to one another.

For AP Gauss vs Magnum, it does, since distinguishing them will allow you to know what protection to equip. For High-Pressure Pump and Shock Freeze, with the current balance of Freeze, what do you gain from distinguishing them in the tab? They're both damage dealers now; they'll both kill you quickly. The cold status is taking a back seat now since it's pretty much worse than what it was before. 

Why is why I ask...

... How will this be an issue? Before the Freeze changes recently, I could see it being an issue, as Shock Freeze had considerably lower damage than Stock and would freeze you on the spot very quickly. If you can see that the enemy was a Shock Freeze from the tab before they hit you , you may have wanted to swap to Cold Immunity if you had it, but that's no longer the case now. They'll both kill you in a snap due to x4 damage critical hits, and Shock Freeze having near the same DPS as Stock now. 

 

I'm not disagreeing with your suggestion, by the way. It's just that I don't see what's the big deal for those specific augments at this specific point in time.

Any augments that have status effects, I don't consider them augments. I consider them as game breakers. I don't care which is which, they're all extremely toxic for balance.

Well then, there's no reason to do this, but there's also no reason not to do it.

Any augments that have no downsides (which include a large number of the status augments) are considered as "legal hacks" in my opinion.

 

You essentially hack the game and getting an OP version of the turret/hull but don't get in trouble for it cause you're paying devs for the hack.
