It would be great if the teleportation shenanigans would at least disable when the wave is down to the last dozen zeds, last player or something. Also a command line to disable the entire behaviour on a dedicated server would be great.

Possible bug: can't spectate before spawning. It just spawns your spectate-self in the character select room and you can't escape. Maybe start spectating off the last character you were tracking, and give spectators some degree of no clip?

Not sure how I feel about having no room for errors whatsoever, though. Even on normal, pretty much all of my deaths to Hans have been suddenly going from 90 to dead in a single instant from him shooting at me. I still need to get a handle on when his shots don't hurt as bad when you can't get to cover literally in less than one second. Because usually I'll take a quick chunk of managable damage, break off, heal, get back to the fighting while darting others. Then suddenly Hans will just decides "gently caress this, he dies instantly" and I'm left wondering what I could have done differently without just loving off and leaving the fight entirely before he even turns to face me, let alone starts shooting me. I know it's not grenades doing the job in these cases. Sure I have died to grenades, but that's rare compared to the "BOOP, dead." moments

Drone_Fragger posted:I really wish that supports had innate weight increase as a part of their class rather than as a perk, since you're going to have an aa12 at some point and that basically gives you the really tactical choice of the pump shotgun or the hunting shotgun as backup weapons and not much else. I start each game with tenacity and then move towards the weight increase when I have the money for 3 shotguns. Also on HOE shotgun ammo is so expensive that if you can find a varmint rifle or crovel it really helps out. Sometimes I'll even buy a varmint rifle because ammo is so cheap and each magazine is a potential 20 head shots.

Section Z posted:Even on normal, pretty much all of my deaths to Hans have been suddenly going from 90 to dead in a single instant from him shooting at me. As far as I can see, there are 4 ways in which Hans can really threaten you: gas grenades, explosive grenades, his guns, and melee. Both varieties of grenades are pretty obvious and generally avoidable. The guns will eat you alive very quickly if you're out in the open, end of story. Even on normal, they're not something you can tank, and if he's focusing on a single individual who can't get to cover in a second or three, that person is probably going to die. Thus, always having a way to break LOS with Hans is really, really important. Alternatively, you can circle around him and he won't be able to keep up. That's also a reasonably viable strategy for dealing with his melee. Melee is a threat to the extent that Hans can move quickly when he wants to, and it deals a lot of damage, and the attacks come out quickly. As a result, if he sets his sights on you and decides he wants to do nothing but melee, and you can't break LOS, he will keep pace with you while performing melee attacks, and you will die very quickly. From what I've seen, the optimal strategy is having everyone with an AA-12, save for maybe the medic(s). Get as close as you safely can and unload when Hans is busy with someone else. Unload on him immediately after he has finished draining someone, as he generally drops a grenade attack at that point, which gives you some time to shoot him up and then flee. This gets harder as difficulty increases since he gains a lot of health, but I think it really ends up being a balancing act. If you get too far away, you won't be able to close the distance to deal damage without getting peppered with gunfire and grenades. If you stick too close too much, you're liable to get melee'd to death or stuck in a corner with a bunch of gas grenades on you.

Given that Medics get a speed boost that is competitive with Berserker and applies regardless of what you've got in-hand and have better perks, and that the Berserker damage and swing speed bonuses seem fairly marginal, I think there's definitely an argument to be made that Medics are better Berserkers than Berserkers. So something like a successful parry -> damage buff skill would be a really good thing for Berserkers.

Zerkers are going to need more than simply a damage buff on parry. Unless its the last few guys of the round, parrying in anything higher than hard feels not only useless, but actually detrimental to your survival. Congrats, you parried that scrake once. Now sit there with a slow rear end animation while every other zed chews your face off. Overall, the Zerker needs a lot of work. He just feels so slow, that attack speed has to be jacked up a lot.

Before they mess with parries they should probably fix the ability to circle strafe Scrakes. Right now any class can solo a Scrake and take zero damage.

Katanas currently don't give XP to any of the four perks. Its fun to use and swings fast but doesn't give you anything. Crovel I've found helps my Medic as a back up weapon since it covers more ground and hits harder then the scapel.

Right now any class can solo a Scrake and take zero damage. That would make Scrakes near impossible to handle right now and the only realiable way to handle one would be to parry, hammer, parry, hammer, a dangerous proposition especially when the scrake goes apeshit, and doing that isn't exactly easy, hopefully they introduce/work on the other classes before they start altering strategies people are currently using.

All I know is that I will enjoy this game a whole lot more once I can dual-wield pistols again and diveroll past Husk fireballs as the Gunslinger. To compound the action-movie-ism, katanas should deflect Hans' bullets while in zed time. TIA. Also, I need to get KF2 on a machine that actually has a graphics card. Currently, Han's smoke grenades and the rapid camera turn from grabbing both nuke my FPS.

I haven't been playing, did they disable exp on those 20+ man servers? So much for getting past the awful levels while also having fun. As a level 8 commando I don't feel any noticeable difference from being level 0, and all the perks that actually improve Commando in ways that actually matter are over halfway up the skill path (increased mag size, improved reload). Does this fix your password problem? Questioner86 posted:Thanks for this. Got the bug into our bug tracker.

Why would you balance around a mechanic that could and probably should change? Right now you circle strafe Scrakes and Hans. Two of the strongest enemies are confused by you running circles around them.

I think door welding could be useful if demos could set traps on a welded door, with a trip mine or something. When the zeds bust the door down, BOOM, they all take a bit of massive damage. You only have so many doors on the level, so you have to save them for the later waves or emergencies.

Literal Nazi Furry posted:+ Is it me, or does breaking open a door early with a grenade barely deal any damage to the zeds on the other side (BOOM... oh only one zed dies  )? Or do support grenades below level 10 just not deal with that so well? Every time I've thrown a grenade at a door that was almost about to go down instead of waiting so it would explode AFTER it busts open, pretty much nothing dies.Waiting for a door to open so your grenade will actually deal damage, but not waiting more than a second too long so they don't scatter outside of the AoE entirely for the most part. Even on normal it's rare to get that luxury without basically leaving the rest of your team to fend for yourselves against the other 20+ zeds that have spawned/teleported to enter from the opposite side of the room, just so you can get that sweet 100+ experience grenade multikill. Considering you only have a vague estimate of how long a door will last integrity wise, you can only preemptively time this from the weld wearing out too. I'm not saying I want some easy set and forget proximity explosion, but right now tossing a grenade at doors in any way that matters means dropping everything to stare at the door. Unless I'm just the worlds most unlucky man and grenades normally kill poo poo just fine if they blow the doors open. EDIT: PS give Berserker a talent that let's them goomba stomp crawlers, TIA.

They can either be ultimate face-wreckers and earn you over 100 exp in a single blast or kill piss-all.

Just reached level 15 with Support. Does anyone know if Bombard has a 15% chance to stumble ALL zeds (except maybe Hans)? Because if so that could be handy against angry Scrakes and Fleshpounds. I'm hoping it does because while reloading faster is nice and all there haven't been a huge number of instances where it's been fatal for me.

I got into a game with a group of high level commandos and a support. Everything was constantly in Zed Time and I have never had a harder time playing medic because I could not kill a thing and nobody took any significant damage until the fleshpounds came out. I also got to tank two fleshpounds at once by guarding with the pulverizer and spamming medic grenades

So it turns out one downside to increasing MaxDeadBodies for zerkers is that your Pulverizer will register and fire a round if it hits a body. Which happens pretty much every time you swing if you've been camping the same room and the floor is now made of bodies  I've really got to start remembering to record/stream this game, I had some pretty sweet gif-able moments last round.

Section Z posted:Doors & 'nades Teamwork is key! Have someone unweld the door and then blow those zed fuckers up! Boom, big multikill and you still have a working door. Ideally a team of 6 can have 4 holding an area, with 2 welding/unwelding doors and clearing zeds out. Easier said than done of course, because there's always gonna be something that fucks up with what spawns where. It's nice to be running this strategy and unwelding a door to see 2 FP and a scrake  BUT THAT'S PART OF THE FUN! Really excited for future updates on the game, it's so refreshing to see such a polished game in EA for a change. Not really too surprised though, TW fuckin owns!

What's the consensus on the level 10 medic skill? Is armament actually a good idea? My initial impression was that 2 armor per heal don't make up the 10% loss of healing power.
