Does the game even have kick voting yet?

Guys, Akumos was thinking about taking Goon Floor 2 down until more content is added to the game. Are you guys down with this or do you want us to keep it up? As it is now, we made it public because hardly any goons came to play on it so it'd be a waste of money to keep it running for pubbies. We'd appreciate any feedback, i.e. if you want it to stay up, if you want it to go back on Hard, etc.

KF1 is probably my favourite game and I'm really enjoying what we currently have in KF2 at the moment. Tripwire need to implement a proper vote to start system though (ie; majority vote), as at the moment one person who's afk can stall an entire server for a seemingly unlimited amount of time, which is a bit of an oversight for a dedicated PC developer.

I haven't found a reason to weld any doors really. The just don't last long enough to aid your survival in any meaningful way. So far the only times I've noticed them have any real gameplay impact are when you get some jerk running around welding doors to try and get your team killed or block you from the trader(this barely works though as you can unweld faster).

Welding doors is a trap in KF2, it actively works against you. A welded door becomes a ticking time bomb that will pop seemingly at random and dump a bunch of zeds right into the middle of your group. Attempting to use welds in any defense is just a bad idea and the group I play with never welds doors or holds out in areas that would require doors to defend. Some of the maps are becoming a bit stale because there will be only one or two areas worth defending, if you could actually rely on welding it would at least open up options. In KF1 you could keep doors up forever but it came at the cost of dedicating one or more players to welding. It was a trade that teams could make, a more defensible location at the expense of less firepower mowing down zeds. I hope they reconsider the door health mechanic during early access. I would suggest: - Doors lose the second health bar - Destroyed doors never respawn. - Severely damaged doors, if unwelded, become very slow to open and close.

I think what it is is that the door's health is set a bit low, and the weaker doors have less health than your welding does. So welding many doors just ends with them exploding anyway. Welding up a damaged door is meaningless, and basically ErKeL posted:I haven't found a reason to weld any doors EDIT: What makes it especially bad is that it seems like if you weld doors to try to funnel enemies, enemies will ALWAYS immediately spawn behind every welded door, so all you're doing is making it so the enemies all show up at once instead of in a trickle.

ErKeL posted:I haven't found a reason to weld any doors really. The just don't last long enough to aid your survival in any meaningful way. The maps are too big for door welding to be of any use. In KF1, they were instrumental to control how many zeds your team had to engage. Enemies piled behind a door, busted it open, and then everyone blasted the zeds that were bunched up together. That was the easy part, the hard part was that you could no longer restrict their movement and now had to deal with them as they came. In KF2, the maps are bigger which means the zeds have more spawn points and more directions to assault your team. As a consequence, zeds don't really bunch up behind doors anymore. Welding a door also cuts off an escape route, something much more useful in KF2 than it was in KF1. In KF2, you can just sprint laps around zeds because the maps allow for that, tons of space with multiple passageways. In KF1, you barely moved faster than zeds with the knife out and, unless you were the berserker, you traded firepower for speed by pulling the knife out. If you ran around the map, it was because your team got overrun and you're the last guy left. Basically, moving around is better so don't weld doors in KF2. In KF1, running was the worse option so you usually held up somewhere and welded doors to keep from getting overrun.

^^^ also kf1 had a lot of dead ends on maps, there really isn't any in kf2. In kf1 you had to be really careful not to corner yourself when kiting unless you were on west london. ErKeL posted:I haven't found a reason to weld any doors really. The just don't last long enough to aid your survival in any meaningful way. When you have a scrake or fp charging you it can buy you some time if you shut a door and put a little weld on it then continue running.

Had a pubbie join on a hard server. Level 0, commander. We made fun and he said "I played the first one". First round he gets cornered and dies. Fair enough, maybe he wasn't expecting them to run at him. Second round a bloater fucks him up and while he's blinded he gets surrounded and dies. One more chance dude. Third round he sees a scrake. Runs up to it and unloads into its face, dies instantly, almost gets me killed because I have to focus my AA-12 on him rather than the swarm. Never change, pubbies

Don't run by the chainsaw arm. We also had a good medic. Everyone was perk level 18+ We were holding out in the safest spot in probably any map which is the trucks outside on Outpost. e. wave 7/7 with 40 zeds left on HOE. Good zerk and medic, two supports and a commando. I think when we all get to 25 we'll get HOE on a regular basis. Ramsus fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Apr 28, 2015 |

I enjoy the between round banter between the characters, but one thing I've been noticing is when you hear "Ammo check, how's everyone doing?", regardless of whether you have full ammo or zero your character replies with "Fully stocked, thanks!". It's the same with the health check one too. Not really a major gripe to be fair, the game is a loving blast.

I will say I've heard the french girl say that she's certainly had better days when her health was around 50% I'm sure I've heard one or two people mention about being light on ammo too, the banter stuff is pretty amazing though. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with new characters too seeing as they're all uniquely voiced

As it is now, we made it public because hardly any goons came to play on it so it'd be a waste of money to keep it running for pubbies. Hard to say. I really enjoy playing with goons since they generally have an idea of what they're doing but the mumble channel is a bit of a ghost town. It's always nice to have somewhere to play on the regular but I'd rather you guys not have to shell out if it's just going to be opened to pubs for play. Worst comes to worst, goons who want to play can always group up in some online matchmaking and flood a server somewhere. edit: And on doors, I don't find welding them to be that useful. Great for locking up some zeds behind it and getting a big ol nade party going but otherwise the maps are open and looping enough that you usually aren't getting cornered if you're smart about things. This game is certainly less about hunkering down at the best camping spot, which there are still decent ones, and more about being mobile when poo poo hits the fan. averox fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Apr 28, 2015 |
