Has anyone had a problem where one or more of their classes constantly reverts to 0XP? As far as I can tell I'm not playing on any screwy servers and all my other classes seem fine, but for some reason I went from commando level 2 to level 0. Any experience I gain in matches, even when I make a level (or two if on hard) just vanishes into the ether once I get out of game. It kinda really sucks :(

If it matters, I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the game with no change.

Recently picked up the game. Do you have to parry at a certain timing, or does just blocking work?

But, otherwise yeah, Zerk is fun as gently caress. I usually end up accidentally leaving my team behind because you end up being very autonomous as a berserker. Been getting the top kills, dosh, headshots, and damage in pubs for the past week.

I swear the weapons are either hitscan or so fast they might as well be outside of zed time. In zed time, I'm almost certain your bullets are slower (as in, relative to speed of the game).

Big enemies getting unparryable heavy attacks in their attack strings as well as the aggro changes made parrying less effective in the current meta. I currently find it more useful to just go ham on them with heavy attacks to the head and hope that Smash procs and knocks them prone while relying on innate damage resistance and medic healing to keep me alive. I think it's an understandable change from being able to parrying everything because they probably don't want berserkers to be able to solo everything. But it does push parrying to the back of the arsenal when you know it won't work half the time because a zed randomly turns glowy so simply holding block or attacking is straight up more effective. Which is a shame because parrying feels so much more intuitive and responsive with the new feedback animation they've implemented.

You're actually right. Bullet weapons are hitscan when outside zedtime and they slow for dramatic effect during zed time.

That's what I've been doing as well. I parry once in a while, but most of the time I just smack them around with the Pulverizer's alt-fire, Zwei's stab attack, or Zwei's alt-fire, depending on the enemy and the weapon I have ATM.

Most of the commando weapons and medic weapons are hitscan outside of ZED time. Shotgun penetration is a major part of of the support class so those weapons aren't hit scan even in normal time dilation and that's really all there is to it.

The weapons only seem non hitscan in Zed time. With a SCAR I can reliably nail things in the head from across the map without leading.

I'm looking at it and it seems like they might be hitscan with non-hitscan tracers? You can see the tracer moving at non-instant speed here, but it looks like the zombie dies before the shot actually connects.

Need to get to work and can't actually check it frame-by-frame.

I think that's actually pretty common (unless we're talking about Arma or something), because hitscan ray-body intersections are easy to compute (for server side damage checks) but purely visual client-side tracers look prettier in motion.

Just to clarify the Trench Gun and Grenade Pistol are special and fire projectiles that are affected by gravity, so I presume this means they definitely aren't hitscan. This is useful for dropping pellets onto groups of enemies from a distance, especially when there is a taller zed in front.

Man they need like a 3rd party map manager for downloading maps or something. The custom server experience isn't very enjoyable when half the time theres a download for that 100-300 meg map that trickles drat slowly.

Is there some way to shut the characters up altogether? I checked minimise battle chatter but now instead of endless yammering they constantly gurgle like their throats are permanently slit whenever they so much as fall of a slightly-too-high ledge. Like, I literally lost 1 HP from a drop and my guy just screamed like he's choking on his own blood.

The guy in charge of sound design was either very bad at it or into snuff films.

It's amazing. Last night I found out that if you keep shooting bodies they break down into gibs and the gibs have jigglebone effects or w/e you call it. Between that and the entrails it can turn a tight corridor into a goddamn meat grinder.

There was a certain sadistic joy when reaching the end and finding out it was a dead end. And then again when realizing Siren screams were clipping through the walls to murder us.

If I could get the sdk to run on my computer without crashing I'd give it a shot. But I know thing zero about mapping.

Also that "Oh poo poo" moment when we got to the dead end was awesome and trying to fight our way put was fun as hell and made that bloated map worth while.
