Summary0004677: Ice bats, complete freeze intended?
DescriptionThe new change which slows the player 50% instead of 3% is quite dangerous (especially if boss). Two touches from an ice bat results in a completely frozen character. I can still shoot, but...

There should be a definitive advantage to a good player who is able to avoid touching any ice bat, but maybe the stacking shouldn't be quite so severe. How about a maximum slowdown (30%?) and only 20% per touch (maybe dependent on difficulty level)?

This is working as intended -- you're expected to be using shields to block them, when it's a matter of bosses in close quarters. At some point also the snowsuit should block elemental effects of this sort of thing, too, which would help.

It's always a bit tricky, because there's only so many tools to deal with them as-yet, but the idea is to make it so that you can deal with them in ways other than just dodging.

I totally forgot about the new shields and had not even crafted them ^^;

How about "Ride the Lightning" still working, as a way to still have some measure of control? It's on a cooldown and would be only of limited useability.

Pretty sure that still works, yeah -- only horizontal movement is limited, to my recollection. Just made it so that snowsuits now completely block the ice bat effect, by the way. :)

"Any character with 100+ cold resistance is now immune to slowing frost -- so snowsuits can be used to get protection from ice bat's slowing effect, for instance." = Nice one, thank you! ^_^

Right, just tested it, it works horizontally.

Oh, I see -- interesting! Whatever works, I guess. :)
