Azran posted:Hm, I wonder if they are adding only one perk because they are messing around with the other ones that are already in? It was mentioned at the PAX panel by the devs that they originally had 3 perk classes that was going to be released Demo, Firebug and one other. But they benched one of them in favor of reworking the Berzerker. Perhaps this Gunslinger was what was benched and why its ready before the others.

I've tried to push him away several times but the game either ports him right back at you or makes him heavier then a FP so he doesn't really go anywhere. Hans is still dumb.

thejacob posted:So I started leveling commando recently and while I have always seen a lot of "magdump a scar into big guys head" as the pro strat, how the hell does anyone do that? I know recoil reduction per level is a popular request/complaint here but even so it's not like any enemy in this game holds still at all. I know I am not great at the game but even 75% of a 20 round clip at five yards into a skrake is a really tall order outside of zed time. With the SCAR or AK I usually aim at the zeds just below the jaw press down and then slide the mouse down to counter the recoil of it going up. Still have to do it in bursts of 10 rounds or so but I find that it lands most of the shots around the mouth/nose area.

I started up KF after being distracted by other games for a couple of months; to see what I missed. I like all the new weapons though the LAR seems a bit slow compared to the original. Had a good 10 wave match and even manage to kill Hans with only two other people. Was feeling pretty good and then I got a Horzine crate as a reward. I thought "Cool, lets see what I got." And then I was met with a message about not having keys and needing to buy one from the store. That immediately soured me on this whole game. Its still listed as Early Access but I've got to dish out more cash to get items. Could have at least made it free for now and then make the key needed after it exited EA. I'm willing to excuse the extended times it takes to perfect a patch but for some reason the notion of needing to drop another $2.49 + tax for keys on an incomplete game really rubs me the wrong way.

I guess what also has me worried is that if they're implementing a store system while still in EA for the game are they running out of money to keep developing the game. I'm pretty sure that's not the case but people already paid for the game and the store items seem like an IV bag to me. I'm not really faulting Tripwire for putting a paid rng gambling system in to their game; more so that they put it in when the game itself isn't really complete yet. Ended up just putting the crate up in the stores. The 5 cents will be my consolation prize for the digital box o goodies.

Tried playing again the past couple of days after stopping 6 months ago. The game is much better then it use to be. I'm not sure how I feel about the medic perk rework. Its the only class that I actually ground up to 25. On one hand I miss the ability to give armor. On the other hand venting musk during every start of zed time is pretty good for keeping team mates healed up close though I wish I got healed as well. The LAR feels much more like the KF1 LAR which is a plus. M14 is sort of meh and the railgun confuses me on how it functions.

ClonedPickle posted:The trick with the railgun is that as soon as you buy it (or pick it up, if you've thrown it down for some reason), you've gotta hit whatever alt-fire button you have bound to get it out of lock-on mode. The gun is only doing half damage in lock-on mode and is thus completely worthless outside of Normal difficulty, or if you're trying to hit a FP/Scrake that is heavily wounded but very pissed off, in which case something has already gone wrong. The railgun can one-shot Scrakes on at least Suicidal with the level 5 and 10 damage buffs and two-shot Fleshpounds. A capable Sharpshooter with a railgun should mean no one else on the team should bother with Scrakes beyond calling them out if the Sharp isn't looking that way. I didn't realize that there was a damage difference with the railgun. Would make sense why I was killing things faster not using the lock on I guess. The medic musk aoe rocking people around is something I had no idea was happening. That's a terrible design choice. It makes it a punishment to get healed.

That makes me even more upset about the Survivalist perk. Its basically the meet deadline perk. I wonder if player count for the PC will increase. I miss the 6+ player servers from KF1 where it was an army of 20 people against hordes of zeds and it would actually be a challenge as half the team would run out of ammo midway through.

Been playing on a 40 person Suicidal server and its been a blast. Once we get 20+ people on the server it becomes an all out non-stop fire fight. The new gorefiend though destroys us all. It just runs up to us and beyblades until people are dead. It plus a scrake can clean out 5 people before its put down. Having the multi weapon cross over live really helps on those kinds of maps.

aniviron posted:Going for the legs helps a lot. But the fact that once they decide to spin like a top they can't be knocked out of it by any weapon makes them dumb. Even Scrakes and Fleshpounds can be interrupted during their attacks. I've had groups handle Scrakes and FP rushes on Hell on Earth just fine only to have a single gorefast spin its way to a four man kill.

Marogareh posted:I have a level 21 sharpshooter and only now is when I learn that the railgun has an alt fire. I was wondering why it was so underwhelming and it was because the homing shots do 50% less damage Even with manual mode engaged it still feels underpowered. Give me the AWP back so I can throw 1500 dosh bullets at things. New shotgun is nice. Scoped LAR is good and I hope it won't cost 10x times the LAR. Now give the Medic perk some alternate weapons, that is the one perk that doesn't really have any crossover weapons.

I use the pulverizer a lot since I can use its explosion to knock down Scrakes and FPs. Katana and Zwei are both good and fun to use and slice things up. Vlad feels a bit lack luster and I haven't really tried out the Eviscerator. Mace and shield is fun but I often times I feel like the mace doesn't connect where it should. Shield is fun and you can use the melee key to shield bash from a run and that will knock down zeds but its slower to parry.

Propaganda Hour posted:I think tap firing into the ground is still more effective, but I haven't tested it and even if it is, I feel like it doesn't really matter. The game is in a good place balance-wise. On HoE for me its almost required. Tap firing at the ground with the ground fire perk is great a wiping down trash mobs and it'll go whole hog on Scrakes and FPs. I generally go CaulkNBurn and Flamethrower. Use the Caulk for trash stuff and switch to the Thrower for the heavier zeds. Ground fire perk is amazing right now. I usually aim just in front of their feet and that usually works in getting both them and the ground lit up.

I'm always amazed how much use I get from the CaulkNBurn and ground fire even on HoE. It just melts trash zeds so well.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:To be fair, medics now have a homing dart and each medic weapon has its own supply. Also, anyone can use these weapons. Not saying you're wrong, it is a bitch to syringe someone, but it's pretty moot at this point. What always bothered me about the medic in KF2 was healing others with the syringe. In KF1 it only took half your gauge to heal others and that promoted healing others over yourself. But in KF2 it consumes the full gauge. Having level 25'd medic first it's a pretty well rounded class. Just wish it had more different weapons to play with.

Theta Zero posted:With a primary choice between either the centerfire or .500, both one-shot everything they need to (literally everything but Scrakes and Fleshpounds) with the railgun oneshotting (or two-shotting) everything your primary can't, so there's no point in using rack-em-up. Is the centerfire worth fielding over jumping to the .500 from the LAR? It fires slower and takes longer to reload the the LAR and doesn't seem to do much more damage.

When I play Gunslinger most of the time I'm only using one pistol rather then duel wielding. I find I'm better at aiming with the Deagle and Magnum when its just 1 handed. I do agree with the bullshit of half the zeds just putting up metal in front of their face negating head shots.

FantasticExtrusion posted:You want the active mitigation, regeneration, and the lifesteal. That's just me anyway. It allows you to take an absurd amount of damage: I once won against a fleshpound that pinned me in a corner fresh using only a zweihander. It was close, suicide crawlers fed me just enough extra to survive. It was a rush, probably a full minute of last-possible-block successes + right clicks. Parrying for the sweet 40% damage reduction is great for charging hordes or doing to town on FPs and Scrakes but what often gets me killed are Husks that decide to bombard me from afar.

When the Husks start making their charge to blow themselves up I am reminded every time of the Orc running in Helms Deep with the torch and Legolas trying to shoot him down. I feel like that every time and its great. Sometimes I win and they fall and other times it ends up like the movie.

It took forever (since this game came out on early access) but I finally have all classes at level 25. All cept Survivalist but I'm not counting it. I frankly don't want a prestige simply because it already takes you forever to get one class to max level. Even with a xp boost it would still take a month to get one class near 25. Bloats suck at higher difficulties simply because they are needless bullet sponges. You have to expend so much ammo to get rid of them.

Takes No Damage posted:I don't think the XP grind is so bad, though I've been playing since just after launch and am just now starting to hit 25s. But I've noticed that by playing regularly, 2 or 3 winning games a night, it doesn't take more than a day to clear the higher levels, maybe 2 days for lv23 and 3 for lv24. It probably feels faster since I'm focusing down each class now instead of swapping around between them. True but I feel like the XP grind in this game is particularly extended. I have almost 500 hours played on the game and just now have 9 of the 10 classes at 25 and my last class survivalist is at 21. In that amount of time on a game that has prestige like CoD it would have prestige at least twice in that many hours. If they do put that in the bonuses better be worth all the time sunk into it and the time it will take to get them back to level 25. I would like them to add enough weapons that I don't feel locked to a few weapons. I'm super excited about the Medic bazooka even it its more of a single shot brain leech. Medic class really does need more weapons in its choices. I want a life stealing/healing blade that I can swing around.
