Ahdinko posted:drat Akumos' server is full, anyone else got one going? Really struggling to get into a game with a goon friend Probably going to be way easier to get a lobby going then matchmake to a server since the game has lobbies now (hooray). Speaking of which, is there a goon group yet? There should be a goon group. I wanted to main Berserker with the new melee system but tried to play perks other than Support for all of one game before relapsing into the arms of my sweet, sweet shotguns.

Peewi posted:As I understand it, the party system is just for joining a server all together and the matchmaking just puts you on the same servers available through the server browser. So you'd still need a server until listen servers get added (having a player host the game). Yeah, I know. The point is you can make a party and matchmake into an empty server rather than looking for partially-full servers like you used to have to do in KF1. Or could, in theory, if the game weren't currently a victim of its own success.

Man, if I'd known Medics got a shotgun I'd have just gone Medic. Getting perks up to cap feels like it's going to be a lot more of a grind, but maybe I'm just getting fooled by the "levels" being broken down into five sublevels between perk slots. Also, I miss being level 6 on everything.

victrix posted:So I'm sorta confused on the release status of this, I intentionally kept myself on blackout because I loved KF1. Is this game early early access, is this a fast intermediary step to a final release, or are they doing the ever so popular kickstarter style early access incremental update type schedule now? There are way too few British accents in it right now. It's "early access" in that it's a content-limited but polished and bug-free beta. Right now there are only four (out of ten) perks in the game with their weapons, only four maps and only one of three planned bosses. From what the Steam page says the plan is to use EA feedback to tune the balance on stuff and just keep adding new perks/maps to the beta until it's done, which should be before the end of 2015 if all goes to plan.

Really, just go through Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and add all the weapons in there, playing with them was fantastic. Volcanic repeater and a single-action (Ranger, SAA or even Schofield) for the Gunslinger, derringer for the Ninja, M1894 and Sharps 1874 for the Sharpshooter, M1897 and Colt Navy for the Firebug, M1887 and LeMat for the Support.

The katana isn't a Berserker weapon, actually. It's not on-perk for anyone right now (my guess is it will be a perk weapon for the Ninja perk or whatever the Asian dragonhead icon perk is). The one thing I don't like with Support right now is not being able to take my T3 and T4 guns at the same time because of the M4's ridiculous 8 unit weight. I recognise that Supports can get +5 WU at level 15 but it's in the same slot as Tactical Reload, so it's not an automatic choice at all times, and the M4 only weighing two units less than the AA12 doesn't really make sense because there's no way it can match its damage output - it should be an alternative to the hunting shotgun, not the AA12 (i.e. semi-auto, smaller magazine than the Mossberg vs. big spike damage, have to reload every shot).

Shima Honnou posted:IRL the AA-12 is almost twice as heavy as an M4 when fully loaded, but I guess the idea is that since they both do the same damage and the M4 can shoot pretty fast they slapped it with higher weight without taking the actual advantage of the AA-12, the ammo capacity difference, into consideration. Ideally I'd like to see the M4 weigh 6 units, and be an upgrade to the Mossberg. The damage and magazine size can stay as they are, or the damage could be reduced to the Mossberg's level and the magazine expanded to 10 or 8 shells. Cut the AA-12 to 9 WU so I can carry them both and I'd be a happy man. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Apr 22, 2015 |

Since it's limited to Medic guns, they wouldn't be able to just grab a crossbow or whatever and kill fleshpounds, either.

AK has 300 rounds total, so you're just poor and not buying ammo. You get more XP the higher the difficulty as far as I can tell, but that's it for "penalties."

Yeah, the M4 is real bad and needs to weigh a lot less (drop it to 6, drop the A12 to 8-9) so you can have it as an upgrade to the Mossberg alongside the AA12. As it is the weight means you can't use it alongside an AA12, the price means you don't actually want to buy it anyway because you could just save for an AA12 instead, and the tiny magazine and shell-by-shell reload are a huge liability. That, or I'd be okay with seeing the M4 and double barrel swap tiers. Make the M4 a Mossberg that has a smaller magazine but fires semi-auto with the same damage, and buff the hunting shotgun's damage so it's delivers a much bigger spike of damage like it did in KF1.

eriddy posted:Is right click the same attack as "melee bash" if you are holding a melee weapon? No. Bash is equivalent to one left-click, or the first attack in your left-click combo, which is the light attack combo. Right-click is the heavy attack and may have additional effects (e.g. the Berserker shotgun hammer explosive shell). Get whatever tier 2 weapon you feel like using and get ammo, then save up for your T4. The best weapon is always the T4 weapon except for the Berserker where you might want the hammer instead of the eviscerator. Just grab the two most expensive weapons in your perk weapon group and you're set (or the most expensive one and the next one down if the T3 won't fit due to weight).

Here is how to win against Hans every time, by the way: have one person literally stood with their gun touching him and just circling around him while shooting. He'll whiff every attack. Everyone else alternates between shooting Hans and keeping the circle-strafer's HP up. When he pops smoke, the Medics should drop a heal grenade on the guy being leeched. When he goes red, everyone dumps their grenades on him when his last leech is over then just keep unloading on him.

Serious Frolicking posted:There doesn't seem to be a heavy weapon class at all. What would that even be, commando but better in every way aside from reload speed? Magazine size, recoil reduction on Heavy weapons (if Commando doesn't end up with this), damage with Heavy weapons (LMGs/rocket launchers), carry weight (1 every 5 levels, or as a perk slot). Perk slot choices can give you extra armour/HP, explosive radius, faster reload speed on LMGs/RPGs, etc. LMGs would have mediocre per-shot damage (scaling up on the higher tier LMGs) with a high rate of fire and huge magazine size, but high recoil, poor accuracy and very long reload times. RPGs would be a big spike of AoE damage, but come at the cost of splash damage that hurts you (and no passive explosive damage resistance unlike Demolitions, although you could put in a perk slot choice that grants some), a low ammo pool, having to reload every shot, and the reload times being long. I imagine you'd get something like a T1 RPK with a 50-round magazine, T2 M249, T3 LAW and T4 M60, or something. There's enough different well-known rocket launchers that you could easily do T1-4 for both weapon types (LAW, RPG-7, AT4, Carl Gustaf), too. Basically, go for volume of fire (weak-ish/inaccurate bullet spam vs. Commando's accurate, head-popping semi-auto with full-auto as a fall-back) and spike explosive damage (big one-shot damage vs. Demolitions' traps and more sustained explosives fire with the MGL/pipe bombs/etc., although I imagine pipe bombs or proximity mines will be Demo's grenades). There's design space there, and it's never made much sense to me that Suppport, the shotgun/welding class, gets extra carry capacity and high-weight weapons. Plus, I like LMGs. The obvious alternatives is to let Support keep the carry capacity as a perk slot (it being the same tier as Tactical Reload is good, it gives you a meaningful choice between carrying more weapons for versatility or being better at using the two you get to carry) and just add LMGs in as Support weapons eventually, which would give Support some non-shotgun options further down the line.

I honestly don't think we'll see pipe bombs added to the store again because the whole "consumable store-bought weapons that take up weight units" thing was unique to them, and since each class now has its own grenades, the grenade slot is the perfectly logical place to put pipe bombs. On the other hand, since there's no button that could really be repurposed for a detonator (short of "if you have a grenade deployed, your weapon butt key is the detonator), proximity mines make more sense than pipe bombs.
