Tier 2 Thermo is wonky
Why does it take forever to get a freezing temp reading on the tier 2 thermo? I've had games where I'd get a negative reading in a few scans. Others where I checked the entire area and never had anything below 5, only for the ghost to have freezing temp as evidence. Genuinely the tier 1 thermo felt more consistent since you can just wait for a negative reading while doing other stuff. What;s even the point of upgrading when tier 2 seems vastly more inconsistent?

Cold take:

I know almost instantaneously if I move into or out of the ghost room when I have the T1 thermo in my hand. I can't do that with a T2 or T3 thermo.

If the ghost wanders or even changes favorite room, I can pin it down almost immediately with the T1.

You are focusing on the wrong aspect of the tool. I want to know if the ghost has freezing temperatures as evidence. There are many ways to know ghost location. Only one tool now to know freezing temperatures.
The Tier 3 was refusing to give me the evidence. The very "deficiency" of Tier 1 was helping provide the evidence.

Tier 3 costs more levels and more money... it should at least be as good at revealing evidence as the Tier 1.

This tool always had 2 aspects to it (even before the addition of the tiers), one being verifying freezing temperatures and one being able to tell you, where the ghost room was. Just because you doesn't use it to tell the ghost room doesn't mean, that everyone doesn't use it for that as well.

Obviously more experienced players have many different ways of identifying the ghost room, so using the thermo for that is usually not that important to them and thus, the ability to tell freezing is more important and with that, T1 is sufficient enough and even better most of the time due to how it works.

However, less experienced players, who can't confirm the ghost room as easy definitely benefit from having a thermo, which can easily be used to examine multiple rooms in a short period of time. Due to this thermo being unaffected by ghost room changes, these players doesn't need to be able to detect ghost room changes as fast with the high tier thermos, since they can instantly find freezing in the new room, instead of needing to wait another minute to have the mercury drop low enough.

Its use case simply depends on what you want from it and that's what you find in many items, but on the thermo the differences in the tiers are probably the biggest amongst the new item pool

Though most people rather drop it and only use it to verify a ghost room change, after they've already had gotten some behavior, that hints towards a change anyway. At that point even a T2 thermo might already be able to tell, that it left

I don't understand why people think that T2 or even T3 thermometer is better than T1.
I played many times with T1 and T2 thermometers at the same time and T2 was actually useless. Not only does T1 show a more accurate temperature and you will notice it is below 0 much earlier than T2(I experienced this many times, T1 showed below 0 and T2 did not), but it also shows whether the temperature is increasing or decreasing. And this helps you find a room with a ghost, just walk around the house and you will immediately notice in which room the temperature begins to drop.
I don't know a single reason to use a thermometer other than T1, since I tested the others, I only play with T1.

in the time it takes for a thermo to give a freeze reading sometimes, you could of had another set of gear setup (like dots, book, salt, etc. while waiting) & been hunted twice if 0 sanity.

T2 and T3 can already tell you it being freezing, when the T1 is still on the way down.

That said, it highly depends on your playstyle, which of those fits your playstyle most. Given on what CCs and people on the forum say about it, T1 is preferred bore by most players, but there are definitely a few, who like the T3 in particular more, given that it is less succeptible for room change errors (as explained above)

The ghost room rarely changes and it'll still take you nearly ten minutes to get freezing. Can anyone honestly say their first evidence, right off the bat has been freezing? No. Because the game has to sit there and decide when to trickle out the little bread crumbs to you. Rolling dice over and over until it finally goes "Yeap this is the time they'll get freezing."

At this point i would really like to see a video of how you do your investigations usually, since i can't believe someone being so aggressive towards their own capability of using a thermo.

It's a thermometer Karen, not a particle accelerator. How technical do you expect it to be? Would love a video of you doing ten matches and getting freezing the instant you locate the ghost room. Fully time coded, no wiggle room for editing down. Think you can get freezing ten times in a row in less than a minute flat?

Yeah, i know that it is a thermo, so why do you have so much trouble using it like one? Just throw it in, verify the ghost room, make sure that it doesn't roam like crazy and you get your reading within like 2 minutes. And if it is roaming a lot, then that's your explanation for why it takes a littlebit longer, but i'm pretty sure, that you're good enough to not make the mistake of just staring at the thermo for 10 minutes without realizing, that the ghost room is actually somewhere else, just so that you can complain about it being broken.

It's hard for me to agree with this, because seriously, I've played games with different tiers of thermometers at once. I sat there and checked temperature all the time. And many times it was freezing on T1, and on T2 and T3 the temperature did not want to show below 0.

I literally see no reason to use these beyond T1. The temperature in T1 drops quickly enough to show the true temperature. At the same time, temperatures below zero are still not visible on others tiers. And I checked it constantly. I had T1 and T2 and I was checking the temperature all the time and when T1 had long been sure that it was below 0, T2 still refused to show anything below 0. This was the final moment when I decided that I didn't know a single reason to use this thermometer.

T1 is the fastest and best thermometer to see where the ghost room is and whether the temperature is below zero. It almost always shows everything faster than the other tiers. It's not worth even trying to use other tiers.

The design of T2 and T3 does not meet what the player needs during the game at all. First of all, they should be as accurate as T1 and even more(but they are not accurate at all and do not want to show negative temperatures), they should show whether the temperature is going up or down, they should take less time to check the temperature. Meanwhile, everything is the other way around. T1 gives more information and all are more accurate than T2 and T3. The only drawback is that it is a bit slower, which does not matter in the end, because most often it will show negative temperatures earlier due to its accuracy.

And let me remind you what is most important. T2 and T3 should be undoubtedly better than T1. There shouldn't be any reason for anyone to want to use T1, as higher tiers should give better stuff. Meanwhile, it's exactly the opposite. T1 gives you more data. And there shouldn't be this discussion at all, because T1 should be the worst. Meanwhile, it is even better than T3.

Yeah so even you're saying you have to just drop it on the floor and check back regularly to see if it ever drops low enough. So much for the whole "Just walk in and find freezing" that you were on about. Back peddling much

On snowy maps? Absolutely. I've done it on a front door Ghost on Grafton, a kitchen Ghost on Ridgeview and a nursery Ghost on Tanglewood. All within 1 minute of entering the home.

Roamy ghosts make it take longer and turning on the power makes it take longer. If it's not roaming and the power is off, you can find freezing within the first minute.
