I don't think Hans is any worse than the Patriarch he just doesn't have any instakill strats that let you skip him entirely.

The Commando's first skill is Call Out which lets nearby allies gain his Stalker-revealing sight and makes health bars visible for them. It's pitted against Nightvision, which manages to be even less useful on Commandos compared to Berserkers because the former already has great big red bars floating over every zed, even when it's dark. Honestly most of the skill choices are in dire need of a complete overhaul, but that's why we're in Early Access anyways.

My interpretation is that the zeds were more experiments conducted en masse rather than each one meant to be a weapon for war on their own. Like the experiments done to create a Stalker would eventually be adapted onto normal soldiers, who could be modified to go invisible while doing stuff out in the field. I also always assumed that the Patriarch (and now I guess the other bosses) were actively producing more zeds from the still-functioning Horzine facilities scattered around the world.

They're basically Umbrella in that they're a pharmaceutical company that secretly makes most of their money violating the laws of nature in an effort to make superior biological weapons. If only Horzine had invested in the Shield/Armor/Helm key system, this whole outbreak could've been contained...

I think the stock maps could stand to have more destructible lighting and less magical invulnerable glowsticks scattered around, but that's because fighting zeds in the dark is cool as hell.

This is sort of a silly gripe, but it's so weird to be referring to an early access update as a "content pack" complete with its own catchy title. It's better marketing than "adding base features to the game", of course. Pretty excited that the best perks are being added before the Sharpshooter, though.

LuciferMorningstar posted:It's not really silly, I don't think. Calling it a "content pack" isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the fact that they're saying it's "free" is kind of weird. It's an EA title. This stuff was all part of the bargain, so it seems weird that they're acting like this is an act of generosity. YEAH the ~*free*~ part is what makes it weird, for sure. Because it's not free, it's the rest of the stuff we paid for.

Alkydere posted:See also: Firaxis. This would be an apt comparison if I had to pay another $30 to make KF2 playable. Also Tripwire was mostly reasonable with the KF1 dlc but towards the end of its life (like, after several years of good free+paid content) it got a little stupid with "NEON GUN PACK" and stuff like the steampunk tommy gun just being the tommy gun but with a massively bigger drum capacity. Also that weird thing where they made the old lovely skins cost as much as the new higher-quality skins, but going from 4 to 8 bux is hardly highway robbery.

I feel like the ammo reduction isn't that big of a deal but I do agree with the idea that randomly-spawning weapons should just be dropped as a mechanic and those spawns should be replaced with more ammo drops. Also I'm hoping that the behavior where ammo boxes are giving way less ammo to some guns is just a bug stemming from their newly-granted ability to grant partial mags. C4 owns actually, I like it way better than KF1 pipe bombs. Alt-fire and gain 100-ish XP while it rains body parts, what's not to love? I also gotta say I like the implied role of Demolitions through their XP rewards, which is group-blaster and fleshpound-gibber. An RPG shot fucks up a fleshpound, but a scrake can take two and keep coming back for more. Fleshpounds and Scrakes are supposed to be the thing that everyone has to work together to take down, which is why they have stingers announcing their arrival in KF2, and it's nice that the first heavy hitter perk added doesn't just invalidate the only two major threats.

Yeah Tripwire's view for this game seems a bit more ambitious than they can deliver on in the expected timeframe, but the stuff they've added so far is pretty darn good so I'm not too bothered by waiting.

Coolguye posted:Balancing is a problem that is never fully solved, just in different states of broken, so while complaining about bad stuff is actively helpful, thinking the current state is indicative of the health of the project is fallacious at best. Did you mean to quote someone else? I wasn't talking about balance at all. Their ambition is to create an incredibly detailed shooter with superbly-animated weapons and some cutting-edge graphical tech, it's a very ambitious game for how large of a studio they are. I didn't even say anything bad about "the health of the project", I just said it's probably going to take them longer than initially stated to finish the game. Nobody who is being honest with themselves would disagree with this sentiment.

Yes, and when the devs themselves are saying "this is taking us longer than we thought" it's hardly "fallacious at best" to say "gee, this game might take longer to be finished than we thought!"

I wasn't a big fan of the KF1 tricks but I think it'd be neat if every class had a skill-based way to circumvent one of their downsides the way Demo can with smacking a dud rocket right into a Scrake's face.

frozenpeas posted:I didn't realize that support has been nerfed until I caught up on the forums. It still feels pretty good to me, and seemed downright necessary over the free weekend where new players were continually wiping to Skrakes unless you were either healing them or dishing out AA12 damage. Support was temporarily nerfed much more severely in the beta but feedback led to the ammo reductions being reverted.
