There are a few elitist KF1 communities. There's a good chance that you'll stumble upon a few tryhards or elitists in EU servers as EU HoE servers are more alive than US ones atm. Just keep playing at EU HoE servers and someone will eventually notice. If not in for all that effort, just drop a steamID and I'll see what I can. Don't expect anything.

That memeing aside, I have actually thrown in my two cents into discussions, sometimes I got responses where they're pretty civil but a recent one that really stood out was "lol dude you only have 230 hours, you don't know what you're talking about" around the slinger update on the deal with permarage
I checked his profile, he had over 550 hours, he had no HoE map achievements but just happened to have all the "beat HoE as X perk"
I called him out on that and he got really defensive calling me a shitter even though I had all maps but farmhouse cleared at that time.

>>145581994I preordered the game
It hurts being a tryhard who wants the game to be hard in a FAIR way.
Ridiculous amounts of teleporting, resistances for practically every zed, knockback, and inflated health pools are not fair nor fun.
Why (I'm being rhetorical here, I know TW is too fucking lazy) is it so hard to just give enemies special attacks, increase zeds per wave, and encourage better aim?
Having resistances makes good aim worthless when your weapon won't kill a Stalker with a handful of headshots anyway.
Teleporting makes kiting pointless and encourages zerkwalling since that way you can just funnel zeds instead of having them pop into your face because you weren't camping.
Why give zeds increased HP pools instead of increasing the amount of them per wave, so you have more enemies to keep track of instead of a handful of enemies that sponge like no tomorrow?
Hell, change their pathfinding or give them more locations to spawn in and you'd fix zerkwalling and you could get rid of teleporting at the same time.
Of course, Tripwire is far too lazy and retarded for this and instead think MMO-tier resistances in a fucking horde shooter is a good idea. Surely needing to keep 50 different resistances in your head at all times is better proof of your skill at the game than being able to shoot, relocate, utilize combos and weapons, and working together? Nope, let's force "cooperation" so you NEED 1 perk for killing zed X, one for killing zed Y, and one for zed Z.
>>145582380
Shitty games always need shitty mechanics added by shitty developers to pretend their game doesn't have horrible flaws regarding balance.
I wasn't surprised when Tripwire pulled this. I was merely disappointed because I expected much better.
>>145582380
>Surely needing to keep 50 different resistances in your head at all times
But I was told by one user on TWI forums that you don't need to know about the resistances at all to play the game

I don't know how many layers of irony you're replying to me with, but either way
>to play the game
To simply play the game and die on Normal is one thing, to try to play HoE for a fair, fun challenge is another.
There is a very fine line between "the game challenges you and you get to use all your knowledge about it to have a good time" and "the game teleports YOU into the zed and your weapon gets tossed out of your hands."

>>145582380
but that would make the game too hard anon. Crawlers on walls would just be way to hard. So instead they gave them a ton of resistances to things like shotguns, fire, and melee weapons. Don't worry though, they are weak to SMGs!

>Some zeds just give certain perks a harder time than others and you should find out which ones are out for your perk within minutes actually
I totally agree. After all, if Firebug gets bonus XP for killing Cralwers, it makes total sense it resists all of FB's weapons by over 70%
A man should work for his XP.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here but resistances is probably the worst possible mechanic to encourage teamwork and to make people think "maybe my perk isn't made for this."
The game saying "you're using weapon X, so take this damage penalty simply because you don't have weapon Y" is the most retarded way of trying to convey the idea that some perks are better (and worse) against certain zeds.
You know what makes sense? Demolitions not being the best perk against Crawlers, because they are small targets that run by fast and if they get close they will start biting him and a direct hit from a Demo weapon will at best be inert and kill only one Crawler while the others still bite him or at worst he'll take a hit from his own explosion.
But no. Even if you're a really good Demo, suck TW's dick and take the damage penalty like a "man."
>>145584002
>Crawlers on walls would just be way to hard
I thought they scrapped this because they couldn't get it to work
>>145584634
That's probably what happened buy in stream a while back they said it would be too hard for players. Which is fucking bullshit, if anything it'd be easier because it's hard as fuck to see crawlers sometimes in the piles of bodies.
>>145584634
They scrapped it because they got distracted by all the community weapon skins they wanted to add.
Besides, working on Crawlers takes a lot of effort. Let's just make them resist fire and call it a day. According to Yoshiro that's what they want anyway: more weapon skins and resistances!
>>145584491
Crawlers and Stalkers shoe exactly how retarded this update is. Firebugs still get bonus XP for crawlers. Any new player who looks at what it says to do to get XP will think that they should look out for crawlers because they'll level faster. Then they waste tons of ammo because how were they supposed to know crawlers take fucking 30% damage from fire.
4k hours KF1 douchebag here.
Let me throw my 2 cents in. Resistance idea actually sounds nice and looks good on paper but execution is terrible again. I remember how I hated zerks chopped down every Husk at KF1 like it's nothing and Demolitions blasting away all the Stalkers away from Commando's sight, but that's no excuse to make an entire perk useless altogether at the next installment.
>>145585761
But if those perks couldn't do that they would be less fun to play.
did they make it so you stop getting xp for using an off perk weapon for getting too many kills with it?
>>145586002
>fun
Tripwire doesn't have "fun" in their vocabulary.
But yeah all of the perks should be fun to play no matter what, even on HOE where you want a challenge they should still be enjoyable.
>>145585761
Resistances should not be a thing, with a few exceptions that have become common knowledge:
- Fleshpounds resisting everything except explosives (piercing, ehh, I dunno) which it is weak to
- Scrakes resisting explosives
- Husks being immune to fire
- Hans resisting poison
Everything else makes no fucking sense.
Why is the Crawler magically weak to SMGs but resists microwave?
Why are RPG impacts strong against Scrakes but not against anything else?
Why does the Stalker tank almost as hard as a Bloat but is magically weak to ARs?
Why does the Patty take x1 damage from hits to his head but x0.1 to his jaw?
None of it makes any sense and only alienates everyone but the most dedicated players who are willing to look these numbers up on a spreadsheet, and these players are ironically the ones who are the most opposed to the change.
They have nothing to gain out of making resistances like this. They even fucking made images showing what types of CC are best against what zeds, what zeds are weak and strong against, and what perks work best against what zeds.
Not only are they inaccurate, but they also show just how retarded the whole idea is. Are we trying to play a fun horde shooter or a competitive MMO crossbred with chess?
>>145586383
>Why does the Patty take x1 damage from hits to his head but x0.1 to his jaw?

>>145587768
What was with that anyway? Some kind of joke about 'taking it on the chin'?
We see Early Access as an opportunity to involve you, the community, and actually incorporate your feedback as we balance and put the finishing touches on the game. For example, we know how to nail the feel of Killing Floor 2’s weapons, but perfect gameplay balance can only come from large scale play testing.
>>145585660
>because how were they supposed to know crawlers take fucking 30% damage from fire.
This sums up the entire resistance system
How are you supposed to know what zed has resistances against which gun? Even after reading the forum post I'm not sure because for all I know it could be wrong or out of date and even if it is right I have to remember all these figures while I play the game. The entire concept of zeds having resistances is stupid, the only exception is husks being resistant to fire because it's pretty logical that an enemy that uses fire will be resistant to fire.
This is basically TW's way of trying to force people to form diverse teams and force people to work together but because of how fast paced and chaotic the game is it won't work, you can't expect a commando to always be around to take a stalker off of a support or a SS.
>>145588467
>perfect gameplay balance can only come from large scale play testing.
to en extent
You should know that risky moves offer higher reward, and casual/easy moves offer a base reward.
Good players should be rewarded, shitty ones shouldn't, and need to get good. No consolation trophies.
>>145586052

>>145586383
>- Scrakes resisting explosives
I'm not so sure about this one, for a long time I don't think the average demo player knew that scrakes took half damage from explosives and there's nothing that indicates it and I'm not convinced that enough of them know now.
If they included a tooltip then maybe I could handle it. I agree with every thing else though, the entire concept is just unnecessary and convoluted, simply learning the resistances is a chore and actually dealing with it in game is an even bigger chore. They need to get rid of this system entirely as soon as possible if they value the health of the game

>KF2's review score could hit the 30s by the end of the month
We are so close.
>>145584491
>a man should work for his XP
The XP system as it currently is shows massive flaws from the get-go, the example being how crawlers need to take like a whole can from the caulk just to kill. There's working for it, and there's just tying a mans hands behind his back and expecting him to do his job of lifting heavy objects while everyone else has freedom. The reward of it should be actually doing the job you were destined to do and helping the team, not punishing you and giving you peanuts for what you were destined to do.
But that's just one of many, medic gets next to nothing healing so they're better off tagging shit. Support welding doors would be okay but doors are worthless now. Sharpshooter and slinger get a whopping 1xp for landing their headshots, that BARELY puts them those who bodyshot, its not rewarding to those who can and punishing to those who can't hit heads. Demo isn't too bad, but fleshpounds are few and don't come until much later on. The only one who really gets it okay is mando because stalkers are plentiful, you can see them cloaked and they're weak as fuck to AR's.
>>145594265
SS headshot bonus xp, at least solo goes up on difficulty, I believe susp welding does as well.
Healing xp should reward you for chunks of HP recovered, healing the whole team from 10 HP to get the XP of killing two zeds is absolutely ridiculous.

>Sorry to hear you guys don't like the revised resist system, but I'm going to go ahead and deny any requests for heads on sticks. I've been play testing A LOT over the last couple of weeks and had some of the most intense and fun experiences playing KF2 in those final playtests once the system really started to take shape and I'm not keen on firing anyone the company because they had fun during a play test.
Personally, I like the idea of there being some strategy to team composition, skill selection and weapon selection and we've gotten a lot of feedback over the last year that all the perks are too similar, the skill choices are always one-sided and that the tactics and combos aren't as complex as in KF1. The concept of certain perks being ideal to deal with certain threats and team work being the key to success sounds like classic co-op or team based shooter design I think it's a good goal. Medic+Berserker being the ultimate combo or a single perk with a certain loadout being being good at tackling every threat in the game isn't exactly thrilling game play and we're trying to improve that.
I think the system pairs really well with the new cumulative incap system and we'll just have to see what adjustments need to be made to keep the game fun and challenging as you go up through the difficulties. Save the serious resistances that require careful team coordination and perk selection to HoE and letting normal difficulty be an experience where 6 berserkers can run around playing whack-a-mole? Might be the solution. Add more weaknesses so each perk only has one nemesis ZED (like the Husk vs Firebug)? Maybe be that. We'll have to keep gathering feedback and see. If the community decides they want head popping simulator then I'm sure they'll make that desire known.
>>145596040
>some strategy
Well a lot of good that is when enemies will literally sprint in your face and you can't exactly choose your fights, its not like KF1 where you could observe the situation better compared to 2 where they all bumrush you in a variety where its "pull the trigger now or risk getting swarmed".

>>145596040
>Add more weaknesses so each perk only has one nemesis ZED (like the Husk vs Firebug)?
Why don't they handle this in a natural authentic way by focusing on designing enemies that are difficult for some perks to handle?
As a demo getting grabbed by a clot or ambushed by stalkers/crawlers can kill you easily if you don't have a backup weapon, you don't need to give clots and crawlers resistances to force teams to keep trash off their demos. It's the same thing to SS to a lesser extent, they're not as good as clearly trash as a commando or firebug so if they get swarmed they're fucked
Why not make zeds play to their strengths instead of arbitrarily making zeds take less damage from certain guys because 'every perk has to has a nemesis zed and this one is it'. Fast zeds fuck up perks that have weapons with slow rates of fire and long reload times, zeds with high HP that do tons of damage fuck up perks that have low DPS. Expand on that instead of trying to turn the game into an RPG. I should have known tripwire would resort to doing stupid shit like this when they gave demos a perk that stops sirens from destroying their explosives, sirens were always meant to be a counter to demos and teams that don't use teamwork but they removed that element of the game for god knows what reason.
Husk vs Firebug makes sense because of the kits of both characters, firebugs uses fire based attacks, husks use fire based attacks, it's logical that they can't do shit to each other. What's the logic behind crawlers taking almost no damage from shotguns? What's the logic behind stalkers taking almost no damage from shotguns but a fuckload of damage from ARs? How's a new player supposed to know what their weapons are ineffective against?
It was bad enough that we didn't really have a counter for scrakes before SS came out besides burst DPS and pray that no one fucks up [unless you're hiding behind a zerkwall but that shit just makes the difficulty of the entire game trivial]
>>145610824

I was probably going to say that it was bad enough that we didn't have a counter for scrakes but now we have to make sure we have to have counters for specific trash mods like crawlers as well, they just turned the whole game into a clusterfuck with this patch.
>>145611057
It's but that's probably how they would react. Resistances are just an easy way to create counters for perks but it's unnatural and arbitrary and in some cases completely contradictory to the design of some perks like firebugs vs crawlers. It just goes to show that tripwire lost their way when they were designing this mess.

Tripwire didn't design kf1, and it shows. That's why so many design choices for kf2 are shit.

>>145613253

To go with the tryhard backstory they wrote. Seriously that backstory could be used in a dictionnary at the page "How to sabotage your OC's credibility:"
1) Give her two personalities
2) Give her an "different" look, make sure you include tattoos, heels, and a dress of empowerement +1
3) Hamfistedly remind every two lines how BORING AND DULL the others are by comparison
4) Make sure to include no other characteristic than her looks being colourful and her attitude not being that of her DULL, SHEEP-LIKE CO-WORKERS- we wouldn't want to give her personality by accident.
Success! Everybody will try to pretend your abortion of a character doesn't exist.

MTs on an Early Access game means they're more concerned with funding than completing the game, or that the funding for it is so abysmal that they might not be able to complete the game on current funds, meaning a rocky release... The former is more likely.

Teleporting zeds prevent kiting.
Can't equip welder anymore->betrays that the "pc is the lead console" pr is bullshit
Sponge zeds
Half the perks are worthless or actively harmful to the team (firebug)
Skill choices are still complete no brainers
Every game consists in holing up in the same spots because of teleporting zeds
Microtransactions in early access
Radio silence for months in-between updat- sorry, CONTENT PACKS.
Slow, slow, sloooow progess.
VS made before finishing the game
VS mode obviously interfering with game balance because two sets of balance is too hard a concept

Workshop took months to be set up, is still a clusterfuck of spaghetti code

>90% of playerbase not good enough to play HOE

Repeat after me:
SUBTLE CHANGES
I didn't even know the sharpshooter update was coming. I had forgotten about the game, but was still interested enough to reinstall immediately. While it was downloading I read up on the update a bit. It sounded bad on paper, but I had no idea.
I don't even know why I searched the catalog for this general. Part of me wanted to vent with like minded people, but goddamn, it goes beyond that I think. I'm genuinely disgusted by this game. Not anger, not buyers remorse, just a primal aversion that I've never felt for a fucking video game before.Help me.
>>145619526
>there will still be fags on the forums defending this
I found this on le cripplemanchan, is it true for the most part? And if so does this confirm my fears that tripwire are run by such petty pathetic cucks that they would sabotage KF2 simply to spite the community not just opening their mouths and accepting his shit without complaint?

Propably those same "6MAN HOE ONLY" cunts who even whined about weapon additions to KF1. Do people remember how TWI forums were back when M99/Barret was released?

>>145620964
>implying anyone defending tripwire has cleared a single HoE
That's why they are such little shits
Telling everyone to git gud when they are all normal and hard shitters and now the game is down to their level, disgusting.
>>145621491
Atleast there's VERY vocal fanbase on the forums who will instantly and viciously attack anyone (Even Tripwire) if there's mere suggestion of streamlining something or making something easier.
>>145621454

Maybe tripwire would bump up those trash resistances for sharpshooter so they do their jobs :^)
Also what the fuck did they do to the commando skill tree? It's such a cluster fuck
>>145622675
Well yeah. Zerk, firebug and demo are all worthless, while sharp outperforms slinger.
Suicide shitter here getting gud for HoE, havent played in months

Did you guys unlocked that "kill Patriarch before he heals" achievement? I've been trying to do that, but he manages to run away or just heal himself out of nowhere. I've also tried superperktrainer, killed him quickly, but didn't receive anything.
>>145623687

Some achievements are bugged, I got all the dosh blings at Containment Station and didn't got the cheevo, same with Dead Silence
>tfw I wasn't paying attention when the boss wave came so I went in with a flamethrower
I dunno man, I feel like the bosses aren't hard because they use tactics that require skill to deal with, it feels like it's more about economics than anything
if you go into a boss wave with a weapon the bosses are resistant to it doesn't feel like you end up having a hard time for a valid reason
>>145623905
give up for now because the cheevo is bugged. a friend and i killed him before the heal earlier and it didn't unlock.
>>145624345
they did fix the collectibles ones in the last patch, but for some reason the siren one only unlocks if you kill one in the versus mode.
>>145624345
>twi takes months to do each update
>every update is STILL a bugfest of biblical proportion
The full release will not include swat or ma.
Zerk will take months to be fixed.
Firebug will take a year to be reworked, like demolitions.
Slinger will never be dosh efficient again because of resistances.
THIS I KNOOOOOOOOW
So if the game will be "finished" this Fall, what do you think they'll actually accomplish until then?My guess is they'll just polish up those weapon mods zane worked on and throw in more community maps and call it an "arms deal free content pack"
>>145625217
I know that it won't be SWAT or Martial Artist, that's for sure.
>>145625217
>My guess is they'll just polish up those weapon mods zane worked on
If they add those weapons plus remove the retarded resistance system, or at least make it not so awful and unintuitive I'd be pretty happy tbqh
Without it most Perks wouldn't feel so shit like they do right now
>>145625217
they'll shit out some community maps and that's all
>>145625217
there are some assets for the P90 in the game files.
It's going to be SWAT's T4 weapon, costing 1700 dosh, and be priced at 100 dosh per mag of 5.7.

It's just occurred to me that this resistance system was likely put in place because it was too hard for TW to figure out how to differentiate the roles of the SWAT perk from Commando. Now that SMGs and assault rifles do different damage, they'll be played slightly different.
I wouldn't mind if they had just done three separate categories for ballistic low caliber, high caliber, and shotgun but without the fucked up values.

It's kinda dumb how convoluted they want trash clearing to be. They fucked up by making so many trash clearers to begin with. Zerker used to be able to take out literally anything, demo and firebug were the only things that were 'good' against FPs, there was no real answer for scrake apart from using the highest trash clearing DPS to take them down and then everything else was trash clearing.
They could have solved these problems by focusing on creating new zeds or trying to make perks more than just trash clearers.
They made too many perks fulfill the same role and now they're trying to clean up their mess with this terrible system. If tripwire had an once of creativity left in the company this resistance system would have never been created.
>>145638730
