It's a shame that the gun animations are so good because my sledgehammer doesn't get the benefit.

Oh wait... :)

Did they confirm 100% that they will wipe at release? I don't mind starting over but I'd like to know.

I'm pretty sure it's confirmed, or all but confirmed for release. Wipes during the progress of EA itself are at least mentioned in the EA store page blurb.

"And a warning: it is almost certain that we will wipe all statistics, including Perk leveling and Achievements one or more times during Early Access!”

Or gently caress the KSG.
Give KF2 a 15 round UTS instead. But one that actually works and isn't terrible.

UTS on top. KSG on the bottom.

I see people have set up some big player count servers, do Zeds scale for over 6 players? How many you get at the max number of players (32?) at wave 1? :allears:

Think of all the ammo you would save on Crawlers and Clots.
It sucks having to wait and maneuver around just so you try and take out 2 clots with one shell because they are too valuable to waste on a single weak Zed.

Yeah. I was on a 50 player server for a couple waves and it was over 600. Scrake/FP HP scales for that too.

If it works similar to the KF1 modded servers then yes, it continues to scale everything - spawncounts, enemy and boss health - linearly and that means like 500+ enemies per wave with a full server.

1 successful parry on a Scrake followed by a heavy Pulverizer while supports unload on it, then start circling to the right while continuing to hammer. Mostly the same for Pounds.

To parry, do you just block at the right time? I have a dumb brain and seem to block right before getting hit but I'd expect a unique animation.

There's no unique animation. Block basically right as the blow is about to connect, and the attacker will do a backwards stagger animation.

For the longest stun duration possible? I mean, yeah, I suppose it's not strictly necessary, but it seems like a fairly safe and reliable way to open the engagement, and with a couple AA-12s tearing into it, the circle-strafing bit isn't even strictly necessary. Just back away and watch it get gibbed.

Playing on a 2-man team skrakes are nothing. It's the fleshpounds with their combination of DPS and insane health that kill me more often than anything in the game including Hans. Fleshpounds just need their HP scaling adjusted but Hans, with his three mandatory heals and multiple instakills, is the worst design I've seen since games were meant to take your quarters. SNK would blush.

Happens a lot with a bad team at higher levels. I can keep a Scrake and an FP occupied if I have enough space to dance with them, go after the trash! I cannot believe the number of times Sirens just slowly waltz into our group. And even if your medic is poo poo it's better to eat a saw to the face moving past or from a Scrake than panicking and unloading in it and pissing it off when everyone else is busy.

I mean half the problem with zerker is that half of his weapons are guns, which to me is a little silly. So hopefully with more updates all the classes have more viable weapon combos. And please give us the ability to drop garbage out of inventory, there is 0 reason to spawn with 2 melee weapons.

Don't even bother with the parry, just heavy pulv. Then you can circle run back, then run past him and heavy pulv again, or continue circling forever.

Just did an HOE with a bunch of guys yelling non stop in spanish. We were in the hotel in paris. Two sirens came and they walked all they way to us. Nobody shot them. Using all my darts it was going to be game over for me if I didn't bail, so I jumped out a window. They were all dead or dying at that point. Then they continued to yell at me about how I should have thrown grenades. Except there was two sirens... Then as they saw I was going to win the wave they started trying to help me out with tips.

So I gave them a taste of classic KF1 and got the wave down to 1. Then I went up and meleed the husk's feet with the scalpel.
