Linx posted:For anyone wanting to mess about with this, you're looking for "MaxDeadBodies=*" in KFGame.ini That should go in the OP. I tried setting mine to 50 last night and while it was playable my computer definitely was chugging while I waded through piles of bodies. I finally found time to play the game after the closed beta. Still fun but I miss my +10 level medic. Starting off at zero again reminds me of how not tanky I am. Had an interesting game last night where a couple of pubbies were talking about signing a petition to have Tripwire not do stat resets. And another game afterwards where a level 22 medic ran off on his own every time and never healed anyone. Had the sole job of keeping a commando and support alive while also taking out the scrakes and fleshpounds. The one saving grace was that I had a great  moment where the commando had aggro'd a fleshpound and was running for the hallways in Biotech. I followed to keep him healed and he got stuck in a corner by the FP. Threw down a heal nade and as I turned around another FP was in my face as well as a Scrake. Queue me throwing another heal nade down and proceeding to empty all my medic shotgun ammo and half my smg ammo taking all three out. Commando lived through it all too.

This sort of thing reminds me that in the end, Level means nothing but time, not skill. (A fact I find myself face with personally at times  ) Good on you for being a helpful badass.Bring on the EA and launch stat resets. Particularly because I can see it giving more incentive to try new classes, instead of ignoring firebug or SWAT when it comes out because people who make me look like a pro at this game by comparison will stick with their level 25 medic and never heal anyone but themselves.

LuciferMorningstar posted:The last tier of skills look good, but everything else, save for the one that makes you immune to clot grabs, is really bad. Clot grab immunity is fantastic, but it doesn't make up for the uselessness of everything else. I didn't play KF1, so I can't make any comparisons, but it seems like here, even if you play relatively skillfully, you don't have much that lets you capitalize on said play. Maybe a skill that applies a damage buff following a successful parry would be good? Last tier of skills only apply during zed time so they're fairly poo poo. Just had my worst boss performance, Hans was facing away so I begin my approach to him when I'm close he does an instant 180, unloads once with his machine guns on me followed by a melee and kills me.  EMP nades are awesome yea, they allow safe approach or prevent a siren bomb from murdering everyone.

Is a 970 really not able to handle this game fully maxed out or is it time to get a new processor and more ram and I should be good? The 970 and the ram should be good for max settings, I have the same but an i7 and it's all smooth unless I crank corpse count way up. If turning off streaming textures as someone suggested doesn't do it for you it's probably the cpu that needs some love. Finally starting to get the hang of taking on Scrakes and FPs on Hard with zerker as long as I have some space and my team mates don't bodyblock my little dance routine. Still not loving the Eviscerator but I can definitely see it becoming a lot more powerful with more levels under my belt, it's feels significantly more effective at lvl 11 compared to at lvl 5 when I started doing Hard. Also caved in Hans skull for the final blow with the Pulverizer a few times now and that's about as satisfying as it gets. One week of early access and I feel like I've gotten my moneys worth already.

Zerk is actually really good when you level it. The ones I've been playing with on HOE have made it possible for us to get as far as we do. It requires a medic though. I'm not good at it though, but my zerk is only level 8.

Is that confirmed? The 25 skills only applying during zed time, that is. Because some of them don't make a drat bit of sense. How does increased armor work, every time you go into zed time you can pick up armor for 125 instead of 100? You just magically get temporary armor every time you pop zed time?

I've wondered if they've considered making some talent strengths tied to your level instead of being a flat bonus and allowing to really tweak your class. Some of the level 5/10 talents really suck and I think that is because they don't want to make them so powerful at a low level. For example with Medic's Healing Surge talent that increases health by 20% could instead increase health by 10% + 1% * level for a talent that is a little less powerful to start but grows with the perk as you gain levels and gives you better bonuses as you move into the higher difficulties.

For zerk I was thinking they could have the left side be like damage passives and the right be toughness stuff, that way you can build glass cannon or a tank, or a mix but not quite as effective of the two.

Leveling zerker in a room with more than zero other players is an exercise in frustration. I just left a round because the four people I was with were deliberately focus-firing in front of me so I never got kills. gently caress that, there's a good reason it was my last max level in KF1. e: the actual playing of it is a blast though, the explosive hammer is extremely cool

Generally, the good perks either boost defense or offense all the time. The bad perks are conditional or utility buffs. If a perk isn't active 100% of the time, then it needs to be pretty drat strong to make up for that. The zed time perks are pretty much bad jokes, aside from the commando one. If the others each gave the ability to do something at normal speed during zed time like movement, healing or reloading they would be great. Defenses don't matter during zed time at all.

I still think taking the Commando's backup perk and giving something like it to the Berzerker as a replacement for either lovely level 5 talent would be cool. That lawnmower blade might actually see some use ever then. Maybe. Okay even +40% damage to the lawnmower blade wouldn't be enough to use it over any other Zerker melee, particularly as the levels go up... I just feel like it's such a waste that the melee perk has so little reason to use it's basic melee weapon, you know? EDIT: Done in by my inability to walk past a single decapitated enemy blocking a doorway again

Section Z posted:I still think taking the Commando's backup perk and giving something like it to the Berzerker as a replacement for either lovely level 5 talent would be cool. Yeah I agree, Backup would make a lot more sense on Zerk. It would both boost the least-used melee weapon of the melee weapon class, and boost the only ranged weapon they're guaranteed to carry.

Everyone needs to have a default melee weapon, but there is no reason to incentivize using it for berserker since they automatically start with an upgrade. Berserkers generally need the same stuff as everyone else- survivability and single/multi-target offense. So then, what do berserkers need perk-wise? -Attack damage, attack speed and movement speed are already covered by their passives. If any of those are insufficient, then the amount per level needs to be adjusted instead of using a perk. -They clearly don't need night vision or more starting ammo. Higher max ammo is certainly an option, as it would be for absolutely any class that uses ammo. -Staggering is only useful for berserkers while using the nailgun, because if they are in melee range of something they can't quickly kill they should be parrying instead of trying to stagger it with damage. Conversely, the ability to stagger things with bullets is highly desirable for other classes, but I don't believe any of them get perks to that effect. -The most obvious thing would be a bonus to parrying of some sort. Parrying is an optional system, and if you use an eviscerator you obviously don't parry. So, a choice between parrying and something that would benefit eviscerator use would be great. -A choice between more siren and more bloat resistance would be a pretty good low-level perk, as well as incredibly easy to implement. -Defense. Defense defense defense defense. Health, armor, damage resistance, I don't care. Berserker is too squishy. Any other ideas?

Insert name here posted:Am I missing something or what's wrong with the Zerker skill that makes Zeds do 25%* less damage after you hit them It's not as bad as a basically everything else, and I guess it might help a little bit with Scrakes and Pounds. But everything else is probably dying in a single blow or two, before they can attack, and Scrakes and Pounds will still gently caress your poo poo up, even with a 25% damage reduction.

The basic idea of kf is that as long as you survive, you can kill anything eventually. The knife is the backup to your backup, not a viable weapon. You are supposed to buy the viable weapons. Heck, circling the map looking for starter weapon spawns is a better idea than trying to kill stuff with the knife.

Berserker starts with a Crovel, and should probably always have a melee weapon superior to the knife. It ends up being totally irrelevant for berserkers because the other melee weapons don't run out of ammo.
