Pretty sure the low heal xp is to prevent money/xp boosting. It's also in line with the xp boosts other classes get.

I hadn't played this game since right after volter manor dropped, it's been nice playing the new classes. Firebug and new zerk rule, demo is fun but not very well balanced yet, I think. I keep changing favorite weapon to use, the trench, rpg, microwave, zwei, they're all really fun. Good on you TWI for making enjoyable weapons! Probably the most important aspect of a shooter and you continue to hit it out of the park. I'd like to echo a couple things closeted republican posted:I wish someone would make a mutator that has all of the zeds spawn and stay as puffy as they do right before they're killed with the Microwave Gun. It'would be funny and strangely adorable. verbal enema posted:Nothing is better than slo mo jumping off a 2nd floor and Pulverising a group of clots. please look into this, especially the first idea tia.

rt4 posted:This berserker explanation has changed everything for me Yeah but it's innacurate now. You now have the extra "shove" attack on every weapon that will push Zeds back and stumble them, and you actually CAN fully block the damage from a Scrake/Fleshpound/Hans attack unless their arms glow red. I can't seem to find a good post-Fire and Explosions patch video explaining the changes to berserker. Because they changed some other stuff around but I can't remember what it was.

Tokubetsu posted:Two questions. 1)whats the preferred buy order for firebug? 2)why did i wait so long to play firebug? I like to go 1. Trench Gun (Helps vs Bloats and Sirens and gives you much needed long range ability) + CnB 2. Swap CnB for flamethrower asap (so Trench Gun + Flamethrower) 3. When I can afford the MWG (or when I feel it's needed for the big zeds) I get that + the CnB.

I go caulk and roll with it until I can afford a microwave gun, which is usually a wave or two before scrakes show up if you like the trench gun go with that and sell the caulk for a microwave when you can afford it

I prefer the cnb over the trench gun, myself, although that's mostly after getting heat wave at level 10. Heat wave just makes the trench gun into the worst of the firebug weapons, due to long reload times + an inability to capitalize on your long reload times. The firebug doesn't have the survivability boosts that Medic and Support do to make being up close with a shotgun work out well for them. So my usual route is to keep the CnB and buy the medic pistol at the end of wave 1 for dealing with far away enemies and healing allies. Then just keep filling up those two weapons until you can buy the flamethrower, and sell the CnB for it. Then swap out the medic pistol for the medic SMG, and then you have two options for where to go from there: Pick up the Medic Assault Rifle and keep the flamethrower, or sell the Flamethrower and upgrade to the Microwave Gun. Medic and Firebug are both my favorite classes so I've basically just started playing them both as hybrids where I pick up the others' weapons all the time. I go Firebug if we're doing okay at keeping alive and go Medic if the team needs help with that, and generally go with one of those two final loadouts: Flamethrower + Medic AR, or Microwaves + Medic SMG. That second loadout also has room for dual pistols or a medic pistol if you need even more ammo.

There's usually another Firebug on the team who wants to go straight to the Microwave so I focus on trash. I tend to save up for the Flamethrower then buy the Trenchgun if the map has lots of long halls / lines or stay with the CnB if it's more cramped. For Hans I always go for Microwave + Trenchgun as I get the best stand-off distance from his ridiculous melee. edit: gnome that Medic weapon plan sounds great and I'll definitely try that next time I play Firebug. Now that I've got it and Support up to level 20 it's either Zerk or wait for Sharp. Shumagorath fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Nov 4, 2015 |

It's a magnificently obfuscated system to make people buy jpgs from each other that gives valve a tremendously good cut from every (albeit tiny) transaction. I think Steam "level" is meaningless nonsense and the backgrounds and emotes all look like horrible garbage but if a independent adult decides to spend their own money on that stuff and it gives them joy more power to them. I usually just gift a copy of the game to a friend whenever i feel like showing my support for a game.

Gorefasts should stumble backwards when beheaded. They're a bit too persistent in chasing players after they've had their brains blown out, and stumbling them might make them less of a threat without completely negating their damage potential. Also it would look cool.

Headless gorefasts are the cause of one of my more embarrassing deaths. "Whoooo bullpup Zed time decapitate 6 Gorefasts in a row! Now to reload my empty gun and escape- Oh they are all still standing perfectly fine blocking the door and stabbing me repeatedly WHOOPS the rest of the horde caught up." Like, even if I had remembered I had a melee bash button or switched to my varmint, wouldn't have helped with a dozen live zeds on one side, and a half dozen decapitated but still stabbing me zeds on the other.

"Hmm, the bloat bile wore off right as I hit 1 health. My syringe is 1/4 full. So I want to die to a crawler? or gravity?" Getting literally 4 doors shut in your face while you and the two other players are running from a fleshpound and change adds up  She Bangs the Drums posted:its why if I have time i pop them in the leg once to get them to fall. If i have the bullets Yeah, hindsight is a hell of a thing. Normally it's never an issue and I can't blame them for staying alive and flailing for a bit. But I can agree them tracking you just as well without a head as with can be a bit offputting when you are making neat headclick kills instead of sweet kills that send bodies flying like with a shotgun or even your knife. My aim is questionable enough as it is, so it's discouraging landing a bunch of headshots in a row (for once), turning to deal with other stuff, only to realize oh wait those seven guys I just killed are still able to track me down perfectly.

I think that headless zeds should attack where they last saw you. It'd add a cool element to the headpopping classes, where you have to constantly be moving but not just in a small circle. It would also make some sense.

Headless zeds should drop mid-stride with lots of good tweening / PhysX effects that keeps the momentum of their last frame alive lets them skid.

Got my first HoE win this afternoon. Turns out with at least 3 zerks (with Smash) and 2 medics you can pretty effectively box Hans in place and with a little luck facetank him all 3 phases. He spends half the time stumbling around or falling down. It's kinda like the old chainsaw strat for the Patriarch, but 3 times in a row. One mechanic I'm noticing still needs some love is the perma-rage for Scrakes and FPs if they're in the last few zeds of a wave. There are only a few classes that can handle that, for everyone else it's pretty much death. There should be some way to calm them down so smart players at least have a fighting chance (the door welding trick from KF1 or similar). vvv Like whenever there's a decap have zedtime apply just to the fluids?
