There's plenty of servers now but you can get kicked out of a server because someone connected while you were still loading the next map or the server might just go down/crash while loading. It's definitely more stable than earlier and if you can get into the game itself it should work fine.

Some maps are too drat dark and ADS sensitivity is all hosed up.

I've taken to putting on cross hairs and no-scoping everything but it gets grating after awhile.

Playing medic sucks because I need a flashlight on for most levels because of the darkness. Thought after the first game they wouldn't go back to doing that but hey, early access so I ain't too concerned yet. Still fun.

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
None of the included 3 levels seem very dark at all to me. The subway tunnels on paris can get dark if you go out of your way to shoot out all the lights, but even then.

How are you guys defeating Hans? I keep getting to him and then my team wipes until there's only one guy kiting him.

The attack that really keeps getting me is his super charge. I run and run and yet he ALWAYS kills me with it. I've noticed when watching in spectator mode after I die that when he does that attack his tank gets a rocket booster during it. Does that mean he can't turn, so the trick is to side-step him?

Either way, loving it so far. Got up to Lv 5 on Medic so far. I find that tossing down heal grenades does wonders for helping the team get through the Heavies. Had a fight where me and a Commando got separated from the party. The pair of us fended off a double Fleshpound spawn by me tossing down medic grenades and standing in the healing mist as I took the attacks on the chin. Ate all my armor but trivialized what was otherwise horrible spawn luck.

I think lovely Wizard may be trolling, shocking for such a thing to happen in games but that's life.

Yeah it was the Paris map that was so dark. Biotics is kind of dark too but not as bad as Paris.

At this point I'm just going to wait for a patch for ADS sensitivity. For some reason the reduced sensitivity is making me really motion sick. Also is there mouse smoothing? I'm having weird issues with mouse movement in general where sometimes I turn too fast or slow.

To be honest, I have no idea. I've only managed to beat him in Paris for some reason. I guess just be really coordinated and try to keep reasonable distance from him. Also, always keep the Medic alive, of course.

Well, my deaths to him either come down to getting blinded by nerve gas and finding out too late that the door wasn't directly behind me and off to the side, and the slashy-chargy attack which is "Okay, stop hitting me now! gently caress! Ow! You're a video game boss you're supposed to give me room to back off!"

The former is just me being dumb, but the latter I have no clue how to make him stop hitting me before he kills me from near full health. He runs faster than me as a medic and he just doesn't stop attacking.

I stay right next to Hans and circle strafe him so he uses his melee attacks instead of his assault rifles. Other than that it's just about dodging grenades, nerve gas, and healing people who get grabbed.

Two things:

My game crashed due to that error. GTX 980.

2. The amount of Scrakes you have to fight, and their frequency back-to-back on Long games is ridiculous. Way way more than in KF1. It's kind of unfair. And it starts at like, Wave 6.

Other than that, GOTY.

Also no filter Full or filter Passworded options for servers at the server browser menu. KF1 had these.

Also: why can't you make a party from the server browser menu?

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
One thing I've noticed, is really bad lag between rounds. I've even had a crash once. what I notice is that as soon as it unsticks is that a different audio clip plays. the fact that all the stutters happen in the first few rounds and hardly at all in the later ones lead me to believe it's all the squawking done by players and the shop lady. I take it the audio is not pre-loaded, judging from this. And when someone says something new mid-round, the stutter can be lethal.

On the other hand, I think that at higher levels medic is going to feel pretty drat weak, like some kind of cheap Commando, when it comes to actually killing things. Without the +damage perks or class level-ups, its going to be harder and harder to bring anything but trash down. The only +damage the medics get that I can see are that Lacerate ability that applies a DoT and upgrading the grenades to gently caress with the enemies. Other than that, you're going to continue to be an off-perk commando that can heal like a goddamn beast.

Which is still pretty cool.

e: Kinda don't see the point of the commando right now, to be honest. Supports and berserkers are both really good and pretty unique, but commando/medic overlap a lot in some ways.
e2: I'm also really bad at this game.

GT 640 here. Had some minor frame skips when everything was set to high, but that's it. Turning a few things down to medium and I easily get flawless 100 FPS. :v:

This is happening to some servers very often.

Or you need to get a refund on your server.

I can't tell if it is the server's problem or the voice clips. Sometimes hiccups happen mid-round, but mostly the huge think-someone-just-disconnected-your-internet hangups are mid-trader. Maybe something to do with DJ skully voice files since he's the new variable?

I've gone multiple games without issue. Never once had loading issues in beta. But now after the round ends and the really short celebratory time comes a super long disconnect and load for the next map. It is super annoying.

Medic is always a healbot. Medic throws its nade down when there's a few skrigs or Flesh Pounds so people can swing around the health cloud while it poisons the zeds. So far I'm the only person left alive as goons and pubs are learning just how much of a piece of poo poo Hans really is and I have a decent chance of pulling off a victory.

I mean, I'm glad they figured out most medics just went for an assault or shotty secondary in the first game and just made them have one of everything. Medic may not hit the hardest, but Medic is there when the team needs to heal all at once.

I always took the LAR for my secondary :colbert:

So far the game has been running great for me without issues, except for a few odd glitches like the spectator HUD still being visible after I join a game in progress, and for some reason the plaza area in the Paris map gave me crazy slowdown when I fought Hans there.
