Jakepeng99 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 They had their own freezing animation, and it worked, so it felt like a last minute thing. Im curious what the reason was? They made clay vargs immune to freezing the same time so is this a consistency thing or balance thing? It wasn’t too strong, normally you’d it with a nightmare amulet, and it was just to try control stragglers a little. It was just a little extra and micro managing. Maybe you could use flingo, but you can cheese every freezable boss in the game using flingos. I kinda liked there being more options, maybe they really want the hardcoded solution to be the nightmare amulet or the bone crown using shadows. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171830-how-come-freezing-the-statues-was-removed-if-they-had-animations-for-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I’m going to assume they want weapons which already sucked and hardly ever saw any use, to suck even worse than they already sucked before. Otherwise as you pointed out.. why was there ever even an animation added for it?

Baark0 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Initially I really didn't care about them gaining freeze immunity, until I remembered Pearl lets you upgrade your ice staff twice at the combriner, and these guys might've actually been decent use cases for those items. They still likely wouldn't be better than just equipping a bone helmet and letting the shadows distract them, but it'd be an alternative option that gives use to otherwise pretty irrelevant items. 7 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171830-how-come-freezing-the-statues-was-removed-if-they-had-animations-for-it/#findComment-1869216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice to have more variety for these kinds of things instead of being punished for thinking outside of the box. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171830-how-come-freezing-the-statues-was-removed-if-they-had-animations-for-it/#findComment-1869221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago, they made CC immune to being frozen for some reason. So it might just be a consistency thing. I guess rock creatures are immune to being frozen? 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/171830-how-come-freezing-the-statues-was-removed-if-they-had-animations-for-it/#findComment-1869226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it wasn’t removed. I was having fun with it since there is rarely much scenarios where Ice staffs end up being useful for stalling. There is toadstool, twins of terror, and not much else is worth it and there isn’t much difference to using it. You can use it for lavae but everyone cheeses dragonfly. It also just felt like a logical solution to the puzzle. Thoufh in practice it’s not enough on its own. 8 hours ago, YouKnowWho142 said: This is what Omar has said.
