And on that note I have fallen in love with Firebug again. This game gets so much better when your Perks get over level 10. I cant wait till 15 and get exploding zeds.

It's Frozen. My group of friends enjoy it, and we just hold out on the level down from the helipad and have fun shooting down on zeds and caning them as they bottleneck on the staircase.
It's not amazing, but it IS fun.

Well, they have a mapping contest worth about 50k going on, so something's decent is bound to be in.

I haven't seen anything yet that really compares to the official maps in detail that doesn't have some sort of pathing, trading, or frame-rate issues. I keep an eye on The Tripwire mapping forum to see what is there, but only download maps that people haven't reported problems with. Some are looking pretty darn good, but I'll be hosed if I get my friends to play a map where you get 10fps whenever you look out a window, or the trader arrows don't work, or it looks like you've been burgled because there's no furniture anywhere.

Still, it's early days and I imagine there will be plenty of great maps eventually. I play some Biotics Lab and West London remakes that are well made. The London one in particular is neat as it has a day/night cycle through the game, as well as areas that open up as the waves progress and a hidden area that you need to find switches to open. When you first start it up you'll think the lighting seems too bright and weird, but give it a wave or two.

I posted this over at Steam and am putting it here as well:

The team is working hard to getting the build ready for the community, it is just about locked down and getting into the polish/qa phase.

We do have some things to discuss before it will be ready but our internet at work pretty much took a dive today and some of our plans for how we were going to be talking about those items died with it.

With the skeleton crew (many of the crew decided to take the week off to be with their families for Thanksgiving) that will be in the office next week we will be bringing those items into the light (unless our ISP decides to die off and stay that way for an extended period of time - I hear rumors that somebody named Kevin was involved - we are investigating).

At least they provided clear FAQs and "yes this will happen no that won't happen" stuff in the pages. Unlike Overkill. :v:

but yeah I expect the "it's still in early access and now you have microtransactions YOU FUCKS" comments to go nuclear about 30 minutes ago.

Sigh, I jumped from TF2 to Payday 2 to this to get away from this dumb poo poo but they just couldn't leave well enough alone. At least the cosmetic poo poo doesn't have stat bonuses or big ugly flashing lights in this one.

edit: Also it doesn't look like they're hiding the cosmetic stuff behind "pay 2.50 to open this Horzine Brand ZedLootCrate" so that's good, unless I missed something.

Nope, read further down the second page, I was wrong. :itwaspoo: They do offer the usb sticks as an alternative so it's marginally less lovely.

Cosmetic DLC is pretty much how they supported KF 1, tbh. I don't mind them going this route in KF 2 since it is completely optional, and probably will wind up getting them more money in the long run. I just know pub servers are going to be obnoxious as hell now since everyones guns will be CS:GOified.

Pretty much my exact reaction to the whole Payday fiasco. My aesthetic tastes are bizarre and varied and my reaction when stuff drops ranges from "gently caress YES, A PAINTER'S MASK I'M GOING TO BE IMORTAN JOE" to "Oh god, what an eyesore. Someone on Steam will pay 5 bucks for this train wreck, I'm sure."

Also while TF2 started it its also heavily used in CSGO skins and Dota items. And CSGO isn't even f2p. I don't know the numbers but its a decent (by virtue of least lovely) system if the playerbase to support it exists.

of course it feels like "hey, me too!" but it's both the most predictable - KF1 had the golden gun stuff for years - and at the same time least aggressive method


but they probabably should've waited at least until the game was even officially "finished"

I think this is probably my only real complaint about it, disappointment in the business model aside. The game's not even out of fuckin' early access yet and a third of the classes haven't even been conceptualized. :geno:
