I can, somewhat, support the developers of the community weapons, but really? $8? Fuck off with that, that's more expensive than any other DLC. I mean, I get it, you want to be able to give money to your contributors, and since you don't have random drops so you can't really have an item store as an "alternative".
But $8 for four weapons. My god man.

It's 50%. (3.99)
People are really boycotting this game over the weapon dlc?
So there is a new weapon DLC pack that can be bought?
Seems odd for Tripwire though.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;38154294]People are really boycotting this game over the weapon dlc?[/QUOTE]
They're charging 8 bucks for a couple of weapons with the excuse of supporting the community when there are much better options for that. All of this after their speech about "cosmetic only".
Yeah, i wonder why.
I think what they want to archieve is to get more modders to their games / Killing floor. Need to say that it's a good opportunity for mappers / modders that Tripwire is giving out prizes, see Red orchestra 2. Red orchestra 2 haves map contests which offer the winner about 10k$ or more, since the event started many maps started to show up. People need motivation, especially on such a small player base.
I hope this 8$ dlc turns out good (its 3.99$ anyways now) and pays these modders good so more modders will take the opportunity to make weaponpacks which again result in a possible lower price but still more constant content. Look at CSS for example, the game lives because people make it nowadays. If you don't support this money dlc then please don't buy it, Tripwire listens to community.
Why the hell do I type so much to this small thing.

Again, Team Fortress 2.
It works exactly like that and you don't have to pay for anything.

What are the better options for supporting the community made stuff?
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;38154531]What are the better options for supporting the community made stuff?[/QUOTE]
They could give them some of the earnings from the cosmetic DLCs or have a donate option on their website. And if they had to sell it as a DLC they could just not charge as much for the weapon DLCs if they have to do it that way.
Alright, what's going on? Is there an update page to get me up to speed?
Found all the gnomes in about 10 mins haha.

$8 is already pretty damn cheap though, especially with it being only $3.99 right now.
One of the gnomes is in the trader room so don't keep kiting a zed the whole 1st wave.

It's better that they don't sell it at all or else it's a cheaper pay 2 win online FPS. A good alternative would be a donation that awards you a weapon skin made by the same contributor, or a title/rank for a cheaper donation like it's done in many mods.
There are so many better ways to do this instead of going straight to the pay 2 win styled bullshit.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;38154649]$8 is already pretty damn cheap though, especially with it being only $3.99 right now.[/QUOTE]
This wouldn't be fair priced even if the weapons were extremely impressive.
The gnomes are random, save for the three out in the field.
I really don't get the hate for the paid DLC weapons, this is not a PvP game you are never gonna be on the reciveing end of it. It's hardly pay to win stuff either (honestly i can testify this, fun to mess about with but pretty interchangable).
You want it buy it, you don't want it then don't. A few months down the line the guns will be dirt cheap so you can get them then if you want. OR ask someone with the DLC weapons to drop one for you.
in other news, the mp44 is sex.
Jesus Christ the trenchgun is the greatest weapon ever

The weapons are not game changers. Nobody is going to have more kills than average just because of these weapons. It's not even close to p2w.

I give it a week before people realize that this is not that big of a deal.
I'm just annoyed that the first new melee weapon in a while needs to be payed for.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;38154830]The weapons are not game changers. Nobody is going to have more kills than average just because of these weapons. It's not even close to p2w.[/QUOTE]
That's like saying it doesn't matter to have the M4 because the AK offers a similar alternative to it, when they're both valid choices, choices that will create sizable gap between paying and non-paying as the amount of paid weapons grow.
So players will end up pressured one way or another since you will restrict content and possible play styles, it's basically the same mercenary shit adopted by your slightly smarter pay 2 win game, something i did not expect from tripwire at all, or any game you that have to buy first.
I take back my comment about the weapons not really being game changers. You can kill multiple enemies on your screen with one swipe and the trenchgun is a zed wrecker.
AK47 is useless now. STG44 is just a hair more expensive and the stats are moderately higher.

Unlike last time, all the new weapons are awesome, and not broken awesome. The firebug is still garbage on HoE though.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;38155295]AK47 is useless now. STG44 is just a hair more expensive and the stats are moderately higher.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't say it's useless. The MKB chews through ammo faster and is less accurate.
Trenchgun is just too damn fun and it wrecks everything. Firebugs make so much fucking money now it's ridiculous.
Also the new crawlers are such a pain in the ass

Anyone else getting "Create Texture Failure" and "Ran Out of Virtual Memory" errors about halfway through a match?
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;38155368]I wouldn't say it's useless. The MKB chews through ammo faster and is less accurate.[/QUOTE]
Actually I'd say the MKB is a straight upgrade in every area except RoF which should never be that much of an issue.
More damage with is handy for Sirens and husks, Same weight, Brilliant sights, single shot function (which every commando should be using at least 90% of the time and using 1 bullet on everything lower than a husk) and such a low / easily controllable recoil when on full auto ADS or hip fired. I dunno what it's like with lower level commando but with level 6 it is the sex.
You can afford it easily after 1 wave on HoE, £329 i think. Sell the AK you spawn with and get at least 1 clot kill.
The new medic grenade is pretty damn handy, took me half a game for it to finally sink in that i can't throw then at zeds anymore tho.
[QUOTE=usaokay;38156379]What do you get when you find all the gnomes?[/QUOTE]
just a cheeve, reletivly easy to find them all, just some can't be shot and need a grenade or fire to get.
