Grinding is awful in KF1 custom servers. The sheer amount of damage and health healed you have to get to level up when you're somewhat close to the server's cap is ridiculous. I know the servers want grinding so people come back, but I want to run around with cheaply-purchased turrets and machine guns, not having to grind for 10+ levels so they can become afforable.

Being able to choose perks for your class is a good idea, but the problem is that there are very obviously some choices that are better than others. Most of the perk tiers conists of a really good one, like Tac Reload, with a comedy  option. It doesn't help that most of the choices are just benefits from KF1's classes put into perk choices for some reason instead of really changing things up. The only perks that really stands out as fresh is Call Out and maybe the regen ones, which tells you about how uninspired most of the choices are.

Even with a level up or two with Commando, you can barley see Stalkers far enough before they start kicking you or a buddy.

Require More Fire posted:The mansion definitely feels like the biggest map so far. The basement in particular is really disorienting at first. I didn't even know it had an exit into the garden until I stumbled on it running around outside. I also love the way the mansion proper has kind of a old but foreboding feel to it and then once you end up in the basement it's all I hope TWI adds more specimen origins to the maps. I thought the Stalker lab in KF1's KF-Wyre was pretty cool.

Alteisen posted:Not really. In Hard and below it was a bit OP, but in Suicidal and HoE it found it's role as a dedicated Scrake-murdering class that is able to occasionally help the trash-cleaning classes. They can still take down FPs, but it's a lot riskier than letting your Demo gib them before they start rushing.

I'm really hoping they eventually balance it so that the later half of a match isn't "go Support or die". Shotguns are really fun, but when at least half of the team has to go Support to stand a chance on anything higher than Normal in the second half (unless they have very good Medics), it gets annoying.

I think you might see another perk revamp or two, like with what they're doing with the Zerk behind the scenes. Otherwise, I think their main focus is getting all of the perks out the door.

After playing KF2 for a bit, I've come to realize that Hans is pretty drat easy once you know his tricks. As long as you have good cover and some Supports, he's a piece of cake. Buying multiple AA-12s also makes things easier. The only times I've wiped to him recently is most because of the team picking bad locations to fight him, like Bioticslab's lobby. Though, I wish people would stop playing as Commando during Hans. AA-12ing him is so much more useful than plinking him with the SCAR.

Ravenfood posted:On the other hand, getting a really robust system in place that works can mean that later updates are all tweaking numbers rather than requiring multiple huge overhauls of the system. I don't do any kind of development, so I'm really just talking about of my rear end here. Feedback's good. Putting a system in place that breaks whenever you add a new class/feature/weapon/whatever means you're spending a lot of time re-doing everything. It seems to me they're setting up a lot of systems behind the scenes, like how they're completely redoing melee.

If you want to spice things up while waiting for the patch, here's a fun little challenge: See how long a pub can last in Hard with two or more Zerks on the team, preferably with low-level Zerks. My record is Wave 10 in KF-VolterManor.

I'm not all that impressed with the new skills for Demo. I can see making some fun gimmick builds with it, but most of them seem only moderatly useful long-term. The only must-have skills seem to be the explosive resistance and off-perk damage increase ones. Ammo increasing when you level up sounds very, very useful, however.

People raging over KF2's update speed is funny because they act like their entire life is supposed to revolve a single game. I love KF2, but I'm not going apeshit over the slow content releases because I have a lot more things to do and play while waiting for the update, along with occasionally booting KF2 up and blasting some Zeds.

Theta Zero posted:Based on what I've heard people complain about, they feel like they were cheated out of the $30 they spent on the game. Which is still silly because it's not actually released yet anyways. If this were a full game, I'd feel cheated, but it's an EA game and Tripwire is clearly showing that they're working on finishing the game with their weekly updates. They could go faster, but I'm not pissed because there's so many other things I can do while waiting for KF2 to be finished.

Man, Commandos are so underappreciated. You kill all of the trash, take out Crawlers and Stalkers so the team can move around easily, use Callout to help the team deal with Stalkers, and headshot Sirens and Husks so that your Support don't get a nasty surprise when fighting Scrakes and Fleshpounds, but nobody notices how useful you really are.

Skoll posted:A lot of the Commando vs Support poo poo is probably hold overs from KF 1. I will say though that I see a LOT of bad Commandos. I assume it's probably because it's because of the automatic weapons and pubs/newbs will gravitate towards dakka. When it come to killing a lot of dudes, I find that Support is better in tight areas, like KF-Bioticslab and the chokepoints in KF-Outpost, but Commando is better for ranged work, like picking off enemies coming from the Eiffel Tower bridge in KF-BurningParis. Commandos are better for killing enemies before they get too close, while Support is there for when huge group is coming out of a spawn point and you need them dead NOW. Basically, Commando is to prevent large groups of trash forming, but Support is your panic button.

Revolver Bunker posted:Sharpshooter will probably have weapons that control their rate of fire. Such as bolt action rifles and crossbows. They hit hard but not often as oppose to Commandos that will hit often and not as hard. I'm very interested in what the Gunslinger will have as far as skills and weapons. Right now in KF2 the medic I feel is the most under appreciated in pubbie games. Most players just assume that if there's a medic around that they can wade into whatever enemies they find and they'll be kept alive. I've been playing almost exclusively medic and more often then not I'll spend the whole map healing everyone up and never getting healed by anyone else. I'm interesting in how Sharp is going to handle when it comes to trash since they don't have pistols this time. Will they have a speical weapon that lets them deal with any trash that gets too close, or are they dependent on onther classes or their weapons for trash removal?

It seems to me that, as a perk, Demo isn't useful until you really put some levels into it. The Demo's wepaons are powerful enough that the damage boosts he get from the perk at early levels feel like they barely do anything, and most of the other bonuses, including useful skills, don't kick in until you get quite a few levels in. I've found that Demo wepaons are great for medics. I packed an RPG-7 as a Medic with a Medic Pistol and SMG and did some serious damage. Keep the Medic weapons out for most of the time, but if you see a big horde coming it, take out the RPG-7 and gib 'em. Also, Demo's weapon's are so loving cool in this game. The RPG-7 feels extremely powerful; like you dropped a mini-nuke on your enemies. The Dynamite is basically the Commando's HE Grenade on steroids. closeted republican fucked around with this message at 07:36 on Aug 26, 2015 |

Spent some time as Support in the beta. My thoughts: Pump Shotty and Double Barrel: The ammo nerfs really hurts these weapons. You seriously have to watch your shots now because of how little ammo you have. The ammo nerf hurts the Pump Shotty more it doesn't have the damage output to compensate for the decreased ammo, unlike the Double Barrel. It also means you barely have any ammo for the Pump Shotgun for the first wave, making it almost useless there. M4: Much better. This thing can lay down some serious hurt and reload almost as fast as the Pump Shotgun does. I still prefer the AA-12 overall, but the M4 is a good purchase now, especially since the AA-12 costs more. You can grab this and carve through groups while saving up money for the AA-12. It's what the M4 should've been at the start; a much better Pump Shotgun.
