If I can wrangle a copy by the next two days (which I should be able to), then sign me up. If it helps, I main Sharpshooter in KF1 (probably'll play Support until they add SS, though).

Six packs are for people who want a copy for $25 instead of $30, not actual in game parties :v:

I'm like $6.20 away from being able to participate in one, let's see if I can cash in some Dota/CS stuff to pay for the difference.

Questioner (or whoever else works at TW, really), are you guys planning to change the HP/Armor UI for friendlies? I love how slick the new UI looks, and then you look at a friendly and it's like you're back in KF1 :v:

Seriously though, at least some degree of separation between the name and the bars would make it easier on the eyes.

I just witnessed this entire thing - someone soloed Hans for 40 minutes in Hard. Granted, he was a LVL25 Medic but GODDAMN. Everyone else died 1 minute into the boss wave thanks to really bad coordination and gas grenades. :stare:

I do wish flashlights were a player model thing and not limited to certain weapons. Even then, that one poster who mentioned there's no penalty for setting your gamma really high made me think of a flashbang-like Zed.

My favourite thing about KF is that it feels at all times like you are playing a mod, in the good sense - it's goofy fun of the kind you get when your friend finds this hilariously amazing Custom Map for Warcraft 3 or whatever. The Office level is my favourite example of that. I've jumped off those windows so many times.

I don't think you get levels through achievements in this game.

If you open KF1 through SAM you can manually edit the level up peremeters, like telling the game "yeah, I've totally killed 5000 stalkers!"

^^^ They aren't bad games by any stretch of imagination, just kinda formulaic. It's fine to like them. :v:

Opposing Farce posted:

Right, but that wouldn't work in KF2, because KF2 boils the progression down to a more-standard "you earn experience by doing these things" system rather than "you level up by doing this specific thing a specific number of times."

I know, just correcting that even if in KF1 it wasn't tied to achievements, you could still use SAM to level up in it. Not saying it works that way in KF2.

Anyways, I've seen mentions of Agent Wilkes appearing in a dev trailer - can anyone confirm this? It was my favourite player model in KF1. I'm going through the dev diaries and I learnt a fun fact! The Medic weapons are all built on top of the base Medic pistol.

I'm kinda learning to parry raging scrakes with the basic knife. It seems the problem most people have is that when the scrake stumbles, they go in for a slash and their recovery is faster than yours. Do you lose health for parrying, by the way? I'm too concerned with the huge wall of flesh pounding on me to check my UI normally.

I've heard that there will be 10 perks in the final release of the game, that made me really upset. If Tripwire were to add new perks, just 1 or maximum of 2. 10 perks would be really confusing. they way I play killing floor is, that I see what perks the players have and what perk is required, for example: I see 2 commandos, 1 sharpshooter , 1 firebug, one demolitions dude, so I need to be the medic. that's how I usually play KF. but having 10 perks I believe would turn this game into some RPG'ish game tbh. 10 perks would be really abnormal to have in KF2.

What do you guys think? is 10 perks a good idea?

^ I expect them to be a tanky, CQB class. Kinda like the Medic's tanky side from KF1.

Yeah, that was a post from the official forums. It's understandable though weird till he gets to the "like an RPG" part, where it becomes really dumb. Just killing time till the next announcement.

I don't like SWAT that much as a name, maybe it's because it's so specific and regional. Anyways, an SMG tanky class would be fun - wondering if they are ever gonna add LMGs.

Daily Forecast posted:

I guess I'm the only one who actually likes Commando? I feel like a well-played Commando (key words, there) can be a great addition to the team simply because he saves everybody else ammo, and can then redistribute all the mad dosh he's getting to the players who need it. Takes some coordination, yeah. But I tried playing Support and I found myself running out of ammo while on Commando I'd still be happily popping heads and extending slow-mo long afterwards. I'm finding it hard to see Commando as really underpowered.

I also feel like Call Out (or whatever?) is absurdly useful on any difficulty higher than normal.

I like the Commando as well. The fact that he can see life bars and Stalkers is a big quality of life upgrade. I feel like the general damage boost to all weapons will make it a better perk at max level, where it doesn't need to stick to class weapons for the exp. Does that boost extend to non-primaries (pistol and knife), by the way? I haven't paid much attention to the wording.

It's the class I pick whenever I don't know what to pick.

Moddb comment posted:

That's good to hear (that Alex Quick, creator of KF1, isn't working on this), because since the trailer video came out, I stopped liking this one. It looks like it was made by 14 year olds for 13 year olds. Not technically speaking, but from the way the scary stuff from KF is now 'below the top' ridicule. I could have lived better with "over the top", but that would have been a big departure from the KF standard and perhaps a different game.

Theta Zero posted:

Making new characters seems very daunting this time around, especially since each character has their own unique voice and responds to borderline everything, including map details. We most likely won't get the overabundance of characters that we did in KF1, so a lot of old favorites will probably never return.

I'm more worried about if, in the future when more maps are added, that they can't or just don't bother to get the old voice actors in touch and most characters will have nothing to comment on about the map.

I'm happy my favourite character (Agent Wilkes) is pretty much bound to return if pre-beta teasers are to be believed :v:

As in it freezes up? That might be a server-side thing, at launch we were having issues on ~Goon Squad~ where it would crash during the trading break while people were buying guns.

Yeah, it freezes for a second or two, then everything is fine.

It does. I managed to decapitate one while at half health in a normal server, one player. It died immediately IIRC.

Azran: Sep 3, 2012; And what should one do to be remembered?

It's going to be easier to define roles and appropiate perks, I think, once all the other perks are out. Especially when we don't know how the three new perks will play outside of some basic stuff.

I've stopped using it because I can get more kills if only I can see them.

Also I think I have a bug to report. When I reload a primary (never pistols so far), switch away, then switch back, sometimes I'm down 1 or 2 bullets from a full mag. I can reload again to fix that and then it stays full. Anyone else?

Yup, I've had this happen to me.

GUYS, WHEN IS KF2 EARLY ACCESS COMING OUT? THIS GAME IS VAPORWARE.

KF2 early access is released.

GUYS, KF2 EARLY ACCESS HASN'T BEEN UPDATED IN LIKE THREE WEEKS! I'M BORED! DEAD GAME!

I really don't know what people expect these days. I guess I can kinda understand some of the kids complaining about these things, like those who were 10 years old when Starbound was announced and now they're like 14 and have been waiting for a game for like a third of their time on this planet. All of these early access games, each launching at different stages of development from pre-alpha to final bug fixing have given people a really warped sense of how long it actually takes to develop games, especially at a professional level.

I have a lot of respect for Tripwire, I'm waiting patiently and I love what's already in the game and I think it can only improve from now on. That said: this is the same dev studio that made Red Orchestra 2, and people should keep that in mind just in case :v:

I'll admit I have yet to actually play KF2(laptop ain't strong enough to run it, at least going off the Systems Requirement Labs site's recommendations) so I had forgotten how expensive the Flamethrower is

also I'd say the odds are pretty good that Firebug will be one of if not the first class added once they start putting more of them in(since it already has one of it's weapons in the game, and it's definitely one of the classes that will probably need a lot EAS testing to get it properly balanced) along with Martial Artist(which also already has a weapon in the game, and they can't really fully balance the Berserker until both Melee classes are in the game to balance them out between each other)

and lastly it'd be really fun once all the classes are in the game to see how well a team with one of each class in it would do on the higher difficulties

There's going to be 10 classes though :v:
