I very much prefer having starter weapons than having everyone be Berserkers/Gunslingers at the start to actually use the 9mm or Knife efficiently
they said they added starter weapons so they could start off wave 1 without remorse but tbh it feels the same, like you can still make it through the first wave with just pistols, in-fact i see a lot of people do that to conserve ammo
yep, they really need to make the other zeds more of a challenge, and make the early waves more threatening. the only reason you die, at least 90% of the time, is from a scrake, fleshpound, or the boss. or getting caught between like 3 sirens.they need to lessen the strength gap between them, because honestly the only thing that matters perkwise is how fast and efficiently they can kill the two minibosses.
What I'm hoping they do is add more difficult trash-type zeds beyond clot variants
Been playing a lot more recently. The new ammo buffs make the game a lot more fun, I've been enjoying levelling up demo and support. Admittedly I'm not playing hard, but also none of my friends will play with me since they're all fed up with tripwire. Kinda upsets me because the new perk trees are looking good and the new ammo buffs have made the game a lot more pleasant. Also gunslinger is a really fun class. I'm still pissed, but we're moving forward.

[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;50471462]I thought your 9mm and knife counted as perk weapons for whatever your perk is[/QUOTE] You only get more damage on them as GS or zerker, so might as well pick those if you wish to spend less time and ammo on the start.
[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;50471462]I thought your 9mm and knife counted as perk weapons for whatever your perk is[/QUOTE] I am using KF2 class terms for what it was like in KF1 First round you were forced to go Sharpshooter or Berserker to have any benefits from just having the 9mm and Knife In Kf2 the only perks that can have a bonus with the 9mm would be Gunslinger or one of the reload speed increase skills
One of the things I like about the Bosses is that if you keep moving, they're not overly difficult, it's more so about dealing with their large amount of health instead, just you staying alive.

Anyone with a modicum of awareness can just steer clear of them when their health is full and wait until they're the last one to focus all effort on killing them. Husks are the real fucking miniboss. You get within half the fucking map of them and they sprint up to you and start flame throwing you. This has killed me more than anything else on suicidal.

The Husk flamethrower cannot be avoided. It cannot be escaped. It will be your doom.
Have they talked about tweaking xp values at all? They said that leveling wouldn't be as bad as KF1, and ya you'll level up more often, but getting to max level in KF2 takes just as long as it did in KF1.

If you complete normal at a decent pace, you will almost always earn more xp per time spent than struggling to complete a hard or suicidal. Think about it like this; sure I could grind normals, get my stats up so I can do hards as fast as I used to do normals and match the xp over time, but that means I grinded to get my stats up to do the same level of challenge. The hard level becomes the equivilent of the normal, thus I'm not really growing as a player, I just simply grinded out time for stats to make a harder difficulty easier. I want that "good shit player for completing hard or suicidal, here's your xp reward for pushing yourself", if I wanted to mindlessly grind I'd play the division.
Eh that's not a real fix, since it'll still take a long time unless people dedicate their entire weekend to KF2. I guess what I want is an all round boost to xp, and then widen the gap between trash zeds and mini boss zeds. It's really weird that a handful of clots is the same amount of xp as a fleshpound or scrake.

I rank up once or twice a night, and all my perks are above level 18 so that's a decent thwack. Pre much just doubling xp rate would fix it, especially since theres meant to be 40% more classes. On the other hand can I please stop getting usbs, I'm not buying keys for a game I already spent like 30 dollars on.

..That can't be real. Is that real you guys? Guys?
I really like how the new girl looks, and the graduation hat is hilarious. New hud is great too
What... Did they actually fucking try to fix hans?!
Sweet, this is the sort of update I was waiting for. Time to fire up KF2 again.
I just tried all sharp weapons and holy shit the railgun is cool, those reload and animations hnng
Got pics of the new character?
It's another goth kind of girl, so I see a lot of hate incoming, but I personally really like her. pic [img]http://puu.sh/pmH0i/f7ffe1d953.png[/img] also, the railgun has 2 fire modes, one of them has auto lock on when you aim down sights, on bosses it also locks on to weak points and not only the head.

Eh, I don't think anyone's gonna replace Ana for me.
Foster is the best girl.
Rae can wear Strasser's stahlhelm. I think I found my second favorite character. [t]http://fotos.fotoflexer.com/d83254ead55fe63b65fb7decdb1b74da.jpg[/t]
