I hate the snowfox

[Firedust]

This whole land section is annoying as hell. Hard to navigate, motion sickness, and the damn thing dismounts me every time a frostworm attacks. I honestly don't know how this feature was approved...

[deepdive0777]

Yeah it's kind of a pain in the butt. Rather take the prawn myself.

Prawn suit + hook = spider prawn

You can swing so fast around the map that the worms and doggos cant even get close to you if you're good at it, plus its fun to swing!!! i've been mostly ignoring the snowfox so far, used it a couple times just because it exists but it is too slow and not fun to drive...

It's kinda janky, and the dismount seems like a last minute solution to not just being able to drive on past worm attacks. If you boost at the right time you won't dismount.

The Snowfox could've been fun if the area was bigger and more open and if it didn't control like arse. Vehicles in a tight map just don't really work well.

Maybe memory is tricking me but i feel the snowfox was so much better when i played a year ago. Feels realy sloppy indeed. I just ended up running, iceworm not realy a threat anyway...

Yeah, something that was supposed to be fun was more of a pain. Worms keep dismounting you every time they emerge (and they appear way too frequently), then when you try to get back on your bike you will either open the upgrade door or pick it up by mistake.

Even after getting the upgrades for the snowfox+a few thumpers, it was easier to just run in that zone.

the snow fox is a good idea for the research workers @ Phi
but for you, as protagonist, - nope - i didn't know how to use it either. you could only use it if you want to get through the ice quickly a 2nd time. but that should be done with the crab suit....

it's the player's choice.... if you have no use for it, you leave it behind....

oh, btw. there is a anti-iceworm module for the snox ;)

Snowfox is indeed a pain. The Ice worms always hit me when I was on the Snowfox, making travelling with that horrible thing even more of a pain. However, on foot, I could just outrun/maneuver the worms and never get hit. The Snowfox isn't even much faster than running through the map.

built the fox a few minutes ago, and got shocked by its terrible controls. it drives like a 80 ton truck ...

[Ruiner]

So I just used the Snowfox for the first time, and assumed when people said you steered with the mouse, it would be like the Warthog from Halo. And uh...... wow, it is truly terrible.

It's impressive that someone designed it like that, I assumed they actually tested it and said "yep, that's how it should feel".

[Troubleshooter]

Like many innovations in BZ, this was a swing-and-a-miss.

Nice concept, terrible in implementation, total distraction from the core game loop we wanted more of.

[Wulfeh]

i am currently on that section now and it infuriates me. i even installed the upgrade on the snowfox to reduce the attacks, but i see no difference. Gonna focus on getting the grappling hook for the prawn suit and use that instead.

snowfox is like getting a skateboard in GTA, somebodys going to die fast

It wasn't.

Maybe there were less obstacles, because they 'improved' the biome in the meantime.

this is Future.
people of future lost ability for create convenient map navigators))

I did not tell this for you, but google says, in future developing game called "doom 1" , with sprite nano technologies will have a mega innovation like "map" in 2o33 year. psss!
But now it very difficult for 2021 programmers same technologies((
