VIDEO GAME MODIFICATION IS TOTALLY THE SAME THING AS A FEMALE'S BODY AND CLONING SAID MODIFICATION IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS RAPE, GUYS!!!!!!!

On the other hand, do C4 charges blow doors out too? I could see placing bombs outside the door, welding and waiting, then kablooey.

I don't believe they do, but if I recall correctly, welded doors have two different "health meters." There's the strength of the weld, and the strength of the door. Once the weld expires, the door breaks. However, if you prevent the weld from breaking, I believe the door itself will eventually collapse. So even if you did manage your doors carefully, they would presumably break eventually anyway.

I make it a habit to either unweld doors that were welded during trader time or blow them up, depending on my class. They will always gently caress you over.

Considering zeds can just teleport around when they're out of your view, I don't really even understand what welding accomplishes besides self-sabotage by way of blocking off your own escape routes. It's better to just run a circuit around the map because the only difficulty on which you don't sprint faster than zeds is HOE.

Killing Floor 2 is effectively done; what you are getting now are comprehensive patches and free content updates. Steam calls this Early Access, but it's actually a fully-functional game that you likely bought for $30 if you are posting in this thread. It has been out long enough that there are dozens of custom maps, and 5% of them are even approaching good.

Speaking of, the MountainPass remake is not too bad for a beta map release. I mean, it's like the old one so you'll have the long lines of sight (and super-long kiting matches perhaps but I've not played hard enough to have to bother with that) but I do enjoy shooting zeds as they stand at the top of the massive cliff edge and watch them ragdoll down.

You're right. This is a great game already. I was talking about the poster stretching the definition of 'finished game.'

If they had released it in this state without promising all the other stuff then yeah, you could pass it off as a full game - but they didn't, so it isn't. (Also it's not KF without a LAR).

Speaking of maps, why the heck do servers run timbo perk training? That perk training map with the anime on the walls (super perk training?) with a bunch of easter eggs is not only more interesting to look at, but it also works! Zeds don't get pushed out of the kill box constantly, it has infinite weapon spawns for each perk. But no servers run it for some reason.

gently caress timbo.

You are correct. It pretty makes doors worthless. Can you still trip up zeds and bosses by closing the door in their face?

You can just download it and run it locally if you want, though less zed will spawn that way.

Frankly if you want to level stuff, you don't need Timbo, you just need to play on custom map servers with those lovely untextured hallway maps where the monsters just drop on you in a line (i.e. almost all of them). At least then it's still a game and scratching an itch to blow things up.

Or, you could use a script or something similar to achieve your desired level, and then play for real.

Hans takes only a moment to slam a door open. I think most other Zeds take a bit longer, but I've also seen raged Scrakes blast a door open and insta-kill the guy on the other side.

Jandipoo posted:

Some perks (like demo) require a lot more gameplay than the others to level up, for reasons like having limited ammo or getting few opportunities to rack up bonus XP, or so on. To some that's a lot more time spent grinding XP to get skills that make the class more usable than it'd be worth, and so perk training maps exist to nullify that grind.

But then there's also people that think that having all level 25's will make them play better, when that's really not the case.

Link for an assessment of the differences between Bone Breaker and Rack 'em Up. I'm inclined to conclude that Rack 'em Up is only especially useful for HoE, since you save on headshots for Husks and Sirens.

There are gameplay changes on higher difficulties, like husks spraying fire everywhere. If you wanted to play effectively on higher difficulties, you need to be a high level which takes a long time and that's assuming you don't split your time with other classes. You'd also have to devote your time to KF2 and not play something else.

Basically, the grind is super long and the average person probably doesn't have the time to do it the "correct" way.

You can jump into Hard right away and Suicidal at 5 or 10. Leveling is really pretty quick.

I was at 20 firebug after a few hours of gameplay. It's not a long process.

Firebug is not really a good indication of how slow grinding is because you get poo poo tons of XP tagging everything with your fire weapons.

The game is still fun at those lower levels without the zed behavior changes tbh. I don't see the point of rushing past them
