Why nerf to the ground?

I guess there have already been some threads about it, still I don‘t get why devs nerfed frost torp till it‘s pretty much not useable anymore! My favourite setup has always been (and still is) flare, double blast on enforcer which works well, but the frost torp nerf was way too much. Just check the top players, no one is running that combo these days (beside smileshark who uses it from the start hehe). All we asked for was a chance to dodge a big torp, so either reduce the frost impact or increase the arming range. What you did is just ridicolous, basically the only way to use a frost torp combo is in 1 vs 1, which means you can‘t use that combo to support ur teammates. From my own experience, whenever i freeze an enemy and any of my teammates is around 99% of the time the frost will be removed before i can even launch my torp. Furthermore i have no idea who should use tritorps, id rather run a standard mortar in nightmare league than that. Things aren‘t balanced at all! Frost being removed immediatly by getting hit is just ridicolous, I 100% agree that frost torp combo needed a nerf, but why do you have to nerf it, till it‘s not useable anymore? Lemme know if I am the only one with that opinion, happy to see all your opinions on that

 

I think there are a lot of threads about it,all of them had positive reviews.Lets see how they improve frost...

 

I used to use frost in my mk4 days around 1400 1500 infamy and with doing 1300-1500 damage I would sometimes get 3 stars for support.
Now frost is nothing neither usable nor support. And frost torp damage was never a problem in eternity of game.
Frost received buff in its slowing effect so all were glued to the water. Get that damage back and take that gluing effect away. Even if they reroll the frost break there will still be havoc as the main issue is untouched.

 

Aren't you late to the party . It's over. Frost Torp users have gone home already.

 

You can not use torp without frost above 3k that is fact doesn't matter how well you know your torps.

 

And about building a second loadout you need to be incredibly lucky to get dupes. I was lucky that I got dupes of sniper and explosive cannon if not I would have just left the game because the setup I was building took more than 3 months, which nerfed to the ground just because some players were whining infinitely and I tried using it. It works but its reliable at all. And now I don't see those players who were crying say that frost is never used buff it etc.

 

The last 4 epics I got were 3 swift torps and a blast cannon. I'm an enfo.
Please don't change RNG. (Not kidding tho)

 

Out of 225+ Epics i have barely kept 20,Mistakenly scrapped 2-3 uselful.Other 200 epics are B.S.

Sorry offtopic!

 

I also got 3 epic tesla shields...

/endfftopic

Frost blaster is about right I think, but launcher needs a buff.

 

I often use a grenade + big torp/tritorp combo well above 4k on my speeder, always without frost.
I'd better stop I guess, don't want to go against the facts..

 

instead of labelling the issue as frost torp being useless shouldn't you be blaming your incompetent teammates?

 

I was not a lover of that, but I did maximize my items to play that combo, which was more fun than I thought. Now it's no use, if I had known that they would have made it totally useless I would never have spent my money on that, and removed other weapons for parts for that ... basically they sell you one thing and when everyone has paid, they take all their utility.
It's like you buy a Ferrari and then they put you another engine one month later because they ran too much but they do not return your money or apologize ... and that's why players who have spent a fortune here have left. Because it is something that is not fair.
I love this game and spent a lot of money, and I keep playing and I will. But I do not like this lack of respect for their own community of players who pay their salaries. I still think that this game needs a boost in they devs infrastructure, or more people, or another director, or more money I do not know ... but a game with so much potential always working in this ineffective way is rare.
I suggest ...Marauder you can buy the game and add director to yellow ocean!

and now lets see if this get closed, deleted, or edited...as usual

 

I think nerfing frost into the ground might actually have been a smart move by the Devs, and the best thing for frost users in the long run.

There was a lot of vitriol being directed towards frost. If they’d only nerfed it a bit, then all the people who had migrated to frost would still be using it, and all the crying about frost would have continued (even if it were perfectly balanced).

By nerfing frost hard, they silenced all the complaining, satisfied all the whiners, and forced many new ‘converts’ to go back to thier old builds.

I think everyone now agrees that frost is underpowered, which has paved the way to buff it back to ‘balanced’ in the next update, with less resistance from players, and fewer people running it.

 

frost-torp is really powerfull but (big torp stun frost ) need 4 slots and putting your self in real dangerous bcuz you should be near to the one you wanna shoot so probablly you will be when the unfriend is , so that damage isnt overpowered
