Ya, I get that, it's all over the OP? I thought this was the Killing Floor 2 thread, not the Killing Floor 2 PC early access thread.

The ps4 version isn't coming out until full launch, which is still months away.

Adding to that, I recall mention somewhere (might have been here?) about the game staying in early access for roughly ~6 months, but maybe that was one of the devs comparing it to the development cycle of Red Orchestra.

I think they said it would release in 2015 but not until it is "done"

From my understanding, quite good. The population of Titanfall fell off much quicker on PC than on console. That said, with games that are consistently updated and support modification the PC community ends up with a much longer tail. Just look at the success of TF2, L4D, and Payday 2 to see that.

To be slightly Master Racist for a second, I wonder if it is just because PC gamers are spoilt for choice anymore with so many indie/pc exclusive games getting pushed out for us compared to console releases. I know I didn't stop playing titan fall because it got boring, I stopped because something new came out

I love the standard pump action shotgun in KF1. I hate it in KF2. Every other shotgun is great though. Still wish Support could carry more grenades though

Oddly, as powerful as it is I just don't like using the AA-12. I feel like if I use it for normal specials then I am wasting valuable Fleshpound ammo, which means the only time I have it out is to frantically magdump into a fp or skrake then spend the rest of the encounter reloading

Not that there really is that much in common between the two, other than multiple people trying to not get killed by zombies by shooting them, and the boomer. The themes, feel, and overall game play are pretty different.

IIRC They will be releasing all of the deluxe edition separately in a bit.

Okay goonlords, ~Goon Murder Squad~ is set up for six men, ten waves, normal mode. i apologize for having to restart the server just now, I had to check that everything was working okay and there were no open slots.

OP, could we put all these servers in the first post?


Also, I am opening up my mumble to KF2 goons. With all the unstability and weirdness of servers and restarts I recommend that people looking to group together do so in mumble and steam in case it dumps you out of a match.

Hostname: mbl1.gameservers.com
Server Port: 10008

If any of the goon servers wants me to dedicate a channel I can make that work. Right now it's only 25 man but it can be expanded if needed.

Thirdly, friend me on steam so we can play together :3

The actual name of this server is Goon Murder Squad and the wave is set to Any, not 7. Change the wave to 7 and put ~ at the ends for real so it's easier to filter/favorite. Console joining won't work if it's full and then no one will bother to favorite it. You favorite by doing server details at the browser and clicking the star, fyi.

Whoops yeah, it is without the tildes, I was just trying to be fancy. Good idea, I will throw them in.

For those who are better at this than I am, what is the setting for fixing the wave number? I tried changing values but apparently it was the wrong ones. I believe I got it fixed

I think we're good to go. Not showing on my browser but working okay otherwise.

Anyways, does anyone know how to edit the game length for a dedicated server? I couldn't find anything about it online and I might have just missed it while looking through.

I had the same issue. It's a variable called GameLength, and it is set to 0, 1, 2 for short/med/long

I seem to be having a really huge load time between maps after boss defeats, it's odd

So, is each medic weapon having it's own healing needle cooldown intentional or an oversight? Because it's really loving useful.

I kinda like it, I mean I would prefer a universal pool that fills 3x as fast, but it's better than having to just stick with one slow pool. Now, should the handheld needle use all its charge to heal someone else? No.

Server structure is hosed right now. Can't make it to the last wave without crashing on a long game, but still having fun.

So apparently servers are having issues loading the next wave in series, because we are having problems that always happen right before the next wave starts, while at the trader.

Joined a pubbie match that was on wave 5/7. Things were going fine until I noticed that everyone in the game was only using medic guns. I was the only person using the medic perk. :cripes:

Before wiping on the boss I asked them why they were doing this, one guy replied that his friends said the medic guns are better and cheaper than other guns.

Think of all the Medic XP they will get! :v

Put in a ticket for server to be fixed, so maybe avoid ~Goon Murder Squad~ for a bit, or at least realize you will likely not see the end. If it all falls through I'll just rehost the loving thing if someone else will host it

I even love how it beeps when you're not in ADS. When I'm being a bad medic it reminds me to be a good medic.

I am a bit worried about damage scaling for the medic weapons tho. They seem like they'll be super weak on higher difficulties.

The guns certainly seem to suffer from damage issues compared to the other classes, but at the same time Medic is a support class at its core so having it out DPS Commando or Support would be silly

I am hoping that people move away from KF1's "Let's fight in one location" mentality and go with "Fighting with the changing situation". The games I played last night were filled with people who were looking for the one location to hole up in on every map. We always got pushed away when the dynamic lighting was damaged from the fighting and the spawning locations of the Zeds forced us to abandon position after position. While the people I was playing with were swearing all the time, 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.

There are certainly favorite spots, but they tend to move around. In Burning Paris basically any open street area and the back alley next to the cafe are all legit spots

Calling this Early Access is almost a disservice to Tripwire, considering how most EA stuff ends up being barely-functional tech demos. The only thing this lacks is content-completeness, and unlike other EA stuff, there's really no reason to believe Tripwire will screw up on delivering the content. Everything else seems pretty sound.
