At some point, if he cares that much, why stop him? He's got nobody to play with (well, almost nobody), they can easily take down the servers, and there will certainly be some update that forces him to restart eventually.

I mean, good on him for going through the effort to look at the main menu or play solo. The thing is out in not even 2 days anyway.

About to jump in for the deluxe version, but i need to know if there's some incredibly castrated German version that i'm secretly getting/going to have forced on me once further patches roll out by just going through the regular store page, because if so i'll definitely wait for someone to gift me the international version instead so i'm in the clear.

Can a dev outline what's going to happen or is that already stated somewhere?

I believe it was mentioned on the last page or two that they're not entirely sure what's going to happen but it's likely if you live in Germany or Australia that you're going to get toned-down version once the full launch happens.

If that's the case even if i get it gifted by a friend (so it wasn't technically "bought in Germany") then i'm screwed and that's a tremendous bummer

After fighting him a couple of times I think also that one of the keys is to keep your best stuff for last. Expanding your precious ammo too early will cripple you when fighting his last "red" form, which seems to take much more damage to put down than the intermediary ones.

This seems like a good idea, i've seen entire teams keep all their grenades to dump them the moment he finishes his last heal.

Not sure about the sale numbers but http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&appid=232090q1250&from=0 is interesting to compare the long tail of KF1 (spikes were sales) with KF2s first few days (visible by clcking "Past Week") in player count. Unfortunately the data doesn't include KF1s launch numbers.

I was enjoying it as the matches where we fought as a team were more successful than the ones where we held a static position.

That's interesting, because unless you have extensive voice chat coordination the former is basically impossible to manage coherently and people get split up or lost, compared to the latter which tends to be more foolproof.

I mean, the whole "reach the moving trader" mechanic exists to pull you out of your favorable spots in the first place.

Is there any way to fix my animations?

What's the deal? Did the animations work in the beta and then not in the full game?

He fixed it by changing the nvidia settings to use his actual gpu instead of the fallback integrated one.

I know what artifacting looks like and this just isn't it. This isn't the entire image loving up. The in world lighting goes bonkers.

You sure? While the framebuffer can be very obviously affected by corrupted memory, textures, geometry, character animation matrix stacks and in-world light data like positions or colors all reside in the gpu memory, so if that starts getting wonky due to heat or other restrictions (like some intel HD 4000 videos posted here) you'll see artifacts show up in one or more of those, some more noticeable than others.

In any case send a bug report with screenshots to the devs, i'm sure they know much better where the point of failure might be if it's a problem with the game.

Sadly, that is likely way too much text for the attention span of people who actually, seriously got up in arms over that. But good on them for trying.

Joined my first public game yesterday, it had 3 people shouting human being and friend of the family over voice coms and we predictably got nuked on the boss. In related news i now wish the game had animation to burn your cash right in front of someone begging for it.

The only thing I want is that they don't release weapon pack DLC's that are upgrades to vanilla ones. I'm fine with Counter Strike style skins and all that or changing the AA12 for a jackhammer.

Oh yeah, that's kind of the thing that would feel lovely. I'm fine with gold weapon versions or sidegrades because it doesn't make a difference and is just a way to throw tripwire a few extra bucks (like the deluxe version i bought).

I'm a page late but please don't actually nerf clots, that is the silliest complaint I've heard in this thread. The auto-focus on the clot that grabbed you changes getting grabbed from the mild inconvenience it was in KF1 to a potentially catastrophic event. For example, you're about to dance with a Scrake and you get grabbed mid-pulverizer swing. Letting clots get in close enough to grab you means somebody on your team is slacking and you are painfully unaware of your surroundings, and now there's a punishment for that.

As someone who's been grabbed by clots while fighting hans and immediately got nuked by stacked gas grenades, i agree. You can't afford to neglect the small fry now because it can completely wreck you in certain situations and i think thats a good, interesting change.

The one thing i really hate / suck too much to reliably avoid is if hans decides to do multiple 3-slash attacks in a row on me at a point where i don't have armor. You can't outrun it, you can't outheal it even with a medic right on top of you. I guess the solution is either to parry him or glitch out his pathfinding so he misses?

No, the crawlers feat is that they hard(er) to spot and hit and can jump around, theyre annoying enough without burrying you in a QTE of all things

Fleshpound HP needs to be brought down or there's a damage threshold mechanic that I don't understand. I emptied a full AA12 mag into one of their heads on Suicidal and it killed me despite shot pellets now being the majority of its skull contents by volume.

I mean, i get that that's frustrating, but unless you're playing solo i assume the idea is that even the AA12 can't solo them and you need at least 4-6 people heavily focusing fire, ideally with additional grenades.

I think it's safe to say that since the game is in EA, ALL of the perks/skills could use a complete overhaul and reworking.

This is especially true considering there are still a lot more classes and associated perks to come, and those synergies will require a ton of balance/role tuning for existing perks. Which is probably when some XP resets might happen.

That aggressive teleport behavior is pretty annoying and the worst reason to get killed. Does the game just break with kiting if that's not enabled or what?

Why go nuts with marathon sessions when the balance is kind of hosed and all progression will be wiped?

Well, ideally it would be because you really enjoy the actual core gameplay of shooting waves of zombies with your team. Not sure if that warrants "going nuts" and a "marathon".

Unless it's crippling OCD causing you to treat this game like an MMO or something? Cause incoming wipe or not, progression really doesn't matter that much.

The "made me really upset" part of the quote is obviously silly, but people are already complaining about zerks or commandos falling out of the min-max optimization required(?) for suicidal or HoE, so with every new class-"perk" added or ability-"perk" re-balance that feeling is likely to ramp up as people figure that stuff out.

Not that i think some having some fun-classes around for lower difficulties is a tremendous problem, with this being a non-competitive coop game. That's basically how i played Demolition in KF1

"Solving" coop games for the one true class/loadout always just kinda makes them feel stale for me.

Oh yeah, dont get me wrong - i was actually agreeing with the intent behind the post in that a single class trivializing everything or rendering other classes superfluous would be unfortunate and i hope they balance to make varied playstyles viable. The re playability of the game heavily depends on it.

Don't maps usually start out as undetailed block versions to test the flow and layout and do the actual detailing and polishing much later after a bunch of playtests to see if there are just broken/horrible spots in the map? Wonder how feasible that approach is when you're mostly combining a set of fixed assets.

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?

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.

I wouldn't mind if they dropped the xp system tomorrow, but they'd need to put some kind of specialization into its place.

Other than that (same as in KF1) there is mostly the illusion of progress as you basically just climb a damage ramp that gives you enough DPS to survive the harder difficulties. A normal game on LVL0 basically plays like a Suicidal on LVL 15-20, with some classes having one or more additional tasks. The changing enemy behavior is a welcome, actually significant addition that adds some distinction.

I'd like if there was a system to model the kind of dynamic challenges you get by attempting certain difficulties at certain levels but it didn't fracture the player-base into getting a "appropriate" play experience with their favorite class in one difficulty level.

Seems like an easy enough thing to grab while you roam around the map anyway, since you already have the dynamic trader locations to entice teams to move around a bit.

As long as it doesn't ruin rounds by having OCD clowns get themselves murdered by having to grab them all singlehandedly in one wave or something.
