WWAUT - Fleshing Out SWAT

Hello everyone!

For those who may have missed the news last week, we are working our way towards an opt in beta. This will include a great deal of balance work for existing perks (see last week's post) as well as the new SWAT perk. So what exactly is the SWAT perk?

The skills for the SWAT perk are set up so players can choose between a more tanking/supporting build or a build that focuses on fast reactions and slowing zeds down. This is what the perk tree currently looks like (subject to change before the beta):

Passives:

Perk Weapon Damage
Bullet Resistance
Increased Mag Size
Weapon Switch Speed

Level 5: Specialization

Heavy Armor Training - While you still have armor, you do not take health damage, clots can’t grab you and you start the game with 50% armor
Tactical Movement - No movement penalty for using iron sights or crouched movement

Level 10: Assault Techniques

Close Combat Training - Increase damage with your 9mm pistol and knife by 100%. Begin each game with dual 9mm pistols
Tactical Reload - Increase reload speed with perk weapons

Level 15: Equipment

Suppression Rounds - Increase stumble power 100% with all perk weapons
Ammo Vest - Carry up to 30% more ammo for each perk weapon

Level 20: Defensive Techniques

Assault Armor - Maximum Armor increased by 50%. Begin each game with 50% more armor (stacks with heavy armor training)
Cripple - Multiple hits with perk weapons will slow down zeds up to 30%. Hitting the legs is most effective

Level 25: Specialist Training

Battering Ram - During Zed time, you move in real-time and have massive knockdown power when you run into a zed
Rapid Assault - During Zed time, perk weapons have unlimited ammo, shoot in near real time and have increased stumble power by 100%

Weapons List:

Flashbang Grenade
Tactical Knife
MP7
MP5
P90
Kriss Vector

Also coming with the beta is the new M4 with M203 for the Demo perk. This will give demos some more choice as well as provide another off perk choice for those looking for a bit more versatility with their current weight loadout. As the new Tier 3 Demo weapon it does the bullet damage of a bullpup with the explosive power of the m79. I have an webm of it in action as well so check it out!

http://media.tripwirecdn.com/071916/m203.webm

Now the last topic I want to talk about today is the Server Takeover feature. We aren’t sure if this will make it in for the next content update but we wanted to give the community an idea of how it will work.

To start, players can create a party and head to matchmaking like they already do. Here there is a new item that will be presented to them under Game Progress - Create New Game. This option will have the matchmaker attempt to find the party an empty server that has not opted out of Server Takeover and change the Length, Difficulty and Map (stock maps only) to match the parties choice.

There is also another new option in Matchmaking that will tie into this called Permissions. Here parties can filter by (or set the option for their Server Takeover) to allow public joiners, friends only or a password. If a party chooses the password option they will be prompted to create a password for the duration of their server stay.

WWAUT - Heading Towards (an opt-in) Beta

Hello everyone!

I want to talk about some upcoming perk changes we have in the pipe! With the last update we took a pass at some of the older perks and brought them more in line with some of the more recent additions and incorporating community feedback. Below you’ll find the changes we are working on and the reasons we are making them!

Now to help test these changes, as well as the new content we’ve been working on, we are gearing up for another opt in beta. This means internally we are wiping our staging branch (no more QoL updates until the next content release) and instead making it our beta/RC branch for that update. We expect we will have the beta ready in approximately 2 to 3 weeks. We will have more information as we get closer!

We also have some Zedconomy changes that are going live today. We’ve re-balanced the drop tables so players should see much more variation in the items they see as well as increased the odds on weapon skins and cosmetic items dropping. We have also increased the drop rate so that players should receive a new drop daily.

Changelog:

Berserker

We've collected lots of data since we released the latest Berserker perk and have decided to buff some of the skills that were not getting selected very much and made them a much more enticing.

Perk Changes

LvL5 Dreadnaught

Increase total Health 75%. (was 50%)

LvL10 Vampire

Heal 4 points of Health for every Zed you kill with perk weapons. Attack 20% faster with perk melee weapons. (was 15%)

LvL15 Parry

Parry an attack will now reduce incoming damage an additional 75% on top of weapons base parry resistance.

LvL20 Massacre

Light attacks do 30% more damage (was 20%)
all attacks are 5% faster (was only light attacks)

LvL25 Berserker Rage

Zeds close to you will try to flee because you're so scary with your berserker rage

Commando

The following skills weren't picked very much so we've buffed the following skills.

Perk Changes

LvL5 FallBack skill

9mm and knife now do 2.1x more damage (was 0.6x)

LvL15 Prepared

Get 20% extra ammo (previously was 2 mags)

LvL20 Rock n Roll

Mag capacity increased to 100% (was 50%)

Gunslinger

We're pretty happy with gunslinger skills but felt it wasn't to the refinement level the last few perks were at so we've modified some skills and redid others. Gunslinger fans should really like these changes!

Perk Changes

New Passive added

Zedtime reload: 2% increase in zedtime reload speed per level max 50%

Passive change

Movement speed: gain 4% every 5 levels to max 20% (was max 25%)

LvL 5 Quick Draw

No recoil penalty for shooting in hip while moving.
Move 5% faster

LvL 10 Rack em Up

every head shot you get increases damage by 10% up to 5 head hits maxing at 50% extra damage. Now if you miss a shot the counter doesn't go down, as long as you get another head shot every 2 sec your counter will keep going up.

LvL 10 Bone Breaker

arms and legs now take additional 30% extra damage on top of the 20% general extra damage.

LvL 15 Line em Up

no damage reduction for shooting through any zed.

LvL 20 Skull cracker

Head shots on zeds will slow their speed by 30%

LvL 20 Knock em Down

Shooting zeds in the legs while sprinting will knock them down and chest shots massively increase stumble.

Demolition

Shock Trooper wasn't selected enough and Destroyer of worlds had some major balance issues, so we've done another refinement pass on the perk. We believe all Demo fans will be a fan of these changes.

Perk Changes

New Passive added

Reactive armor: when you take your killing blow your armor explodes doing massive damage and leaving you with 1 health.

LvL 5 Shock Trooper

you reload your weapons faster and also increase Stumble and knockdown power by 25%

LvL 25 Destroyer of Worlds

We fixed this skill and had to rework it. The Nuke still does the same amount of direct damage but damage over time has been fixed so it doesn't wreck big zeds and the boss like it did before. Also your rounds will explode at any range.

LvL 25 Mad Bomber

The skill remains the same, but with the added benefit of your rounds exploding at any range.

Medic

This was one of our first perks we've done and we didn't feel it was as good as it could be so we've done a complete rework. We've taking a lot of feedback from the players gathered in our forums to do this. Thank you to everyone involved! The new Perk tree has two major paths. First, the left side is all about becoming a great supporting medic, buffing your teammates so they can be more effective. The right side is all about being a combat medic, with skills that allow you to survive better and kill zeds easier.

Perk Rework

Passive Skills

8% faster syringe recharge rate per level (max 200%)
2% more potent medical injections per level (max 50%)
2% less damage from poison per level (max 50%) (with reduced visual effect – uses the light effect)
2% increased movement speed every 5 levels (max 10%)
3% more armor each level (max 75%)

Level 5 Symbiotic Health

Increase your total Health by 25%. When you heal a teammate, you also heal yourself 10% of your maximum Health.

Level 5 Resilience

Increase your damage resistance by 1% per Health point lost, max out at 50% resistant to damage

LvL 10 Adrenaline Shot

Healing your teammates increases their movement speed by 10% for five seconds. This can stack up to 3 times for a 30% movement speed bonus

LvL 10 Combat Doctor

Increase the magazine capacity of your Medic weapons by 50% and your movement speed by 10%.

LvL 15 Focus Injection

Healing your teammates increases their damage by 5% for five seconds. This can stack up to 4 times for a 20% damage bonus.

LvL 15 Acidic Rounds

Your Medic weapons can poison Zeds, doing damage over time

LvL 20 Coagulant Booster

Healing your teammates increases their damage resistance by 10% for 5 sec. This can stack 3 times for a 30% damage resistance bonus.

LvL 20 Battle Surgeon

Increase your damage with your Medic weapons by 20%.

LvL 25 Zed Time - Airborne Agent

You release a healing gas from your location During Zed time, healing teammates close by.

LvL 25 Zed Time - Zedative

Damaging Zeds during Zed time with Medic weapons will slow their movement speed by 30% and do massive amounts of poison damage.

Firebug

This is another perk that has been massively overhauled. the left side is all about direct damage and killing things faster while the right side is all about holding hordes back and keeping enemies on fire longer.

Perk rework

Passives Skills

0.8% increased Perk weapon damage per level (max 20%)
0.8% faster reload for firebug wep (max 20%)
30% resistance to fire, additional 2% resistance per level (max 80%)
25% resistance to personal fire damage, additional 3% resistance per level (Max 100%)
10% more starting ammo for every 5 levels (max 50%)

Level 5 Bring the Heat

Increase the damage you inflict with fire weapons by 35% more damage

Level 5 High Capacity Fuel Tank

Increase the fuel tank and ammo capacity for your Firebug weapons by 100%.

LvL 10 Barbecue

Your Firebug weapons’ burn effect lingers 2.5x longer, inflicting more damage over the extended duration.

LvL 10 Ground Fire

When you shoot the floor, the ground fire does massive more damage and reduces Zed movement speeds by 30%.

LvL 15 Napalm

Zeds that are burning will set other Zeds on fire when they make contact with them, burn effect lingers 2.5x longer

LvL 15 Zed Firebomb

Any Zed you kill with fire has a 20% chance to explode, causing damage to and knocking down nearby Zeds

LvL 20 Heat Wave

Enemies struck at point blank range with Fire will stumble back.

LvL 20 Firestorm

Increase the range of your Firebug weapons.

LvL 25 Zed Time - Pyromaniac

During Zed time you attack with Firebug weapons in close to real time and never run out of flame

LvL 25 Zed Time - Inferno

During Zed time the movement speed of any Zeds hit with fire is reduced 30% and those Zeds suffer 50% more damage

Support

For the longest time high level players have felt that support wasn't were it should be, we've received lots of great feedback on the perk from our forums and this is what the rework looks like. The left side of the tree is all about crowd control while the right is about direct damage and dealing massive damage to a single target.

Perk rework

Passives Skills

2% increase in ammo per level (Max 50%)
3% increase in welding speed per level (Max 75%)

LvL15 Rack em Up

Each consecutive headshot with a Sharpshooter weapon increases your damage by 10%, up to a maximum of 50%

Having Played Killing Floor 1 Only A Tiny Bit Before The Release Of KF2, I Can Still See How VAST The Changes To This Game Are. You Could Call This A Completely Different Game, While Still Seeing Killing Floor 1 Aspects While Playing. These Changes To This Game Has Only Improved It, And Hasn't Affected It Negatively Whatsoever. This Is A Game That Is Fun To Play Alone And Especially With Friends. I Would Suggest This Game To Anyone, Be It Both If You Have Only Played The First One, Or Having No Experience In KF1.

Helpful? Yes No Funny

This game was fun for a month. Then the slow creeping feeling like i made a mistake began to sink in the more i played. Fast forward to present; turns out i was right. The game lacks any variety whatsoever. That is unless you like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money down the tube on microtransactions that do little to keep the game interesting in the first place. Hardly any updates, few maps, and 2 game modes make this game a quick grab cash crop whuch will leave you feeling spiteful and self loathing.

so much fun and so much blood... I love It <3

nude colonist murder simulator

A ♥♥♥♥ing disaster of a game.

I've made the mistake of supporting the company who made this for years now. And you know what? I seriously wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from doing so.

Almost every single decision has been terrible. Perhaps the most disgusting decision was the introduction of RNG Microtransactions (akin to casino-machine gambling) during Early Access. The atmosphere is completely different, feeling way to serious than the first game, the mechanics are simplified for the PS4, the company refuse to remove ♥♥♥♥♥♥ features that many people dont like and above all, they only listen to feedback what THEY want to hear.

Tripwire seems to have forgotten that players come first.

Killing Floor 1 cannot be surpassed it seems.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME OR ANY GAME FROM THIS COMPANY. Stay far away, save your cash.

This is the closest I've found to the feeling that Left 4 Dead 2 used to give.

Posted: 6 August

It's hard to get use to Killing Floor 2, I wouldn't recommend it to any normal FPS player.

You have to stick with your team so you don't get destroyed by Fleshpounds but you also need to avoid teammates to get kills and xp so it's a hard balance between the two and you have to get it right otherwise the game will just be frustrating at worst and unsatisfying at best.

The graphics are alright, the weapons turn into Nerf guns on harder difficulties and the music is awesome and the microtransactions are meaningless and don't award you much.

Overall it's a solid game, give it a try and if you don't like it refund it. It doesn't have to be the game for you.

This game is loads of fun and i love how they spiced up the gore in it, there is something about painting the walls red with the blood of Zeds that never gets old. However i would like to see more music added, the current soundtrack is starting to get a bit old. That being said I still love KF2 and I would heavily reccomend that you give this game a go.

Update 2: According to the recent live stream, they only guarantee support until the end of next year unless they make more money. There's so much wrong with this I don't even know where to start. It just blows my mind that they have a date like that when the game isn't even out of Early Access yet.

Update: TWI is now lying not only about unbanning everyone(not even close)but also about how many were banned in the first place while trying to pass the buck to steam global moderators. Integrity obviously means nothing to these people.

The moderation on the steam forums is out of control. People are getting warnings and bans left and right for almost no reason at all just because they aren't praising the game. It's like Overkill 2.0. Threads concerned with the direction of the game are constantly disappearing. Yoshiro is actually stalking people by following them to other websites, and using conduct there as grounds to ban them on Steam. What the hell?

Early Access is no excuse for treating your paying customers like garbage.

This is all on top of a gambling crate system introduced more than 7 months after the initial release of the game, having ridiculously slow development, losing staff, major balance problems, screwing up the development cycle even more by adding a PvP mode that nobody asked for just so they could push their stupid MT skins, adding a "game conductor" which nobody asked for, the "flex" feature they were so proud of that still isn't working properly...so much for planning to release last year. At the rate they are going the game will be obsolete by the time it's finished.

Disclaimer: I really want a 'neautral' option but will be down voting cause I just think the game is too average.

I LOVED KF1!

Played it a lot. Over three hundred hours. All through college it was the game me and my mates would play when we should have been studying. It was great. It had open levels, encouraged teamwork, was hard as hell, but always felt fair. In a way, like Dark Souls. It beat you but you kept coming back.

KF2?

Its...okay. I mean, I play it but there is just something ...off. Not as is ‘not KF1’. But as a shooter in general. I think part of it is that the maps are not very interesting in their design and they are rather small. Some maps alleviate this by being vertical with multiple levels but overall the levels are just cramped and give you this weird feeling of being in a corridor shooter even though you can go anywhere. Imagine if Call of Duty made you play a whole campaign mission on one of its multiplayer maps.

Not that you’ll really explore much of the map because it sort of becomes a tower defense game. Unlike the first game that encouraged movement, or at least holding up somewhere where you could escape (and often you would need too on the hardest difficulties) this game encourages you sit in one place (and most levels only really have on good place to defend) with your team and just shoot down hallways. Honestly, it becomes mind-numbingly repetitive because you never feel the need to haul ♥♥♥ cause you can take down anything.

I could go on. I mean it’s a pretty game. And the sound effects and the recoil of the guns are great. But there is just something so 'meh' about this game that just follows you the entire time. Not to mention Tripwire is micro transaction the hell out of its game. Sure, if people want to buy new outfits, that's great. But its been a year Tripwire. The game is still in Early Access. How about you focus on -finishing- the game, fixing its known bugs and issues, and releasing it; THEN try to nickel and dime your customers to death?

Overall, I'd say get the game on sale and then only get it if you have friends who want to play. It CAN be enjoyable with friends but the friends are doing the heavy lifting. But even then, in my mind, I can't shake the feeling that there are more rewarding games we could be playing.

Seriously? Microtransactions in CSGO style?

Good idea lets loot our customers even harder instead of actually adressing a single fkn problem of the around 100 that exist. Why? Just keep the system of KF1 or...

just dont buy this mess at least until the devs grow a working brain

I originally wrote a positive review for Killing Floor 2 early 2016. However, I can no longer recommend this game. I’m just glad I bought this game in 2015 and got to have a blast while it lasted logging in a solid 500+ hours. I got my money’s worth.

But for those looking to buy this game in its current state, I would have to say a big no. The game is boring. The sharp shooter is one of kf2’s biggest downfalls. It makes all the big zeds a joke. They are stunned and killed all too quickly and easily when before this latest patch, they were a force to be reckoned with. The sharp shooter perk itself is so boring. The SS top tier weapon is a single fire weapon. Aim for head, shoot. Or use its auto lock on mode. I literally felt sleepy last time I played. Also the new official maps are so bland and boring. KF_prison is basically a square and offers no interesting terrain requiring any unique strategy.

I’m not quite sure what is going on with TWI. I know they’ve lost some of its staff which may be contributing to the horrible direction this game is going in. I’ve held on to hope that this game will further develop to become an amazing game, but that hope is gone.

I purchased shortly after it came to Early Access, and played very little up until this point, slowly lurking in the forums and in game just to see how they went about updating this game.

When a paid Early Acces game adds Microtransactions instead of content, you know you're in for a bad ride... Microtransactions came out of nowhere, keys and crates for cosmetic items, barely before there was any game to actually play, that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off, and many others, this game isn't about cosmetics, it's about surviving a horde, and when you purchase an Early Access game you expect to see results, not extra ways for the developer to take more of your money.

EDIT: I understand that the microtransactions are purely cosmetic and have no effect on gameplay, but when TWI showed us all the stuff they had planned, and told us what they wanted to do, but then presented us a with microtransactions, it's dissappointing.

If you would have asked me to review this game when I first bought it, I would have recommended it for sure.
It has been almost a year, and not a whole lot has changed.
As a long time fan of Killing Floor 1, this one has really dropped the ball.
Once you get past how much gorier this one is, the WOW factor really fades.
The graphics are better, and you can explode zeds a lot more, but it just seems like they're very uncreative.
The game is still in early access after a year, and they've already added unboxing?
Finish the game before you release ♥♥♥♥ like that.

This game is good, it really is, but for the price you'll be paying, it's not worth it.
Maybe wait until the game is fully released.

BROKEN GAME FROM CASH-GRAB LIAR DEVS

Killing Floor 2 is a good example why we shouldn't buy Early Access games. It sucks for so many reasons... Let's list some of them:

Crap sounds. Guns sound like a plastic toys. See video below of this review as an example.
Very slow development & updates come once in 2-3 months & every update breaks more than it fixes. Developers are working so slow, that they will need a few years to finish this game.
They advertise their updates as "free content packs" as if it's expected for people to pay money for "content packs" in an early access game.
Optimization is bad too. In some intensive situations, FPS may drop drastically. And we also have a Nvidia exclusive feature called "Flex" in graphical options which is so bugged, that it makes no sense to enable it at all.
Game has micro-transactions. Yes, you heard it right, fu*king MICRO-TRANSACTIONS in an unfinished game. This is disgusting, and completely disgraceful!
Devs are liars. At the start they stated, that they would NOT do micro-transactions in game, but then later, they removed that video & put micro-transactions in game.
We also got PVP mode, which no one asked & precious time is wasted on that.
They are also working on a Killing Floor Incursion which no one asked again & which is VR exclusive & this happens while they still have not finished KF2.
Developers took our money & went on Cruise instead of working on a game.
TRIPWIRE MODERATORS not only refuse to communicate, but they also are aggressively deleting negative feedback & massively banning people who criticize the game.

Need I say more reasons why you should avoid this game? To be honest, I literally feel robbed from this scam company, because I didn't pay for the game they are making it now & definitely I'm not getting refund, because I played more than 2 hours at the start. Now they are giving me game I never wanted. I paid my money to have a finished normal KF1 sequel with updated graphics, new perks & maps, not for this sh*t they are making it now. Their greed for money is so big, that people even made this video, which reveals their real face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlFE2pOImzY
All this sh*t is happening, because of Early Access games, which Valve introduced us a few years ago. If you think too, that Early Access games are meant for robbing the people, feel free to join my group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/against_early_access

Please do not support liar & scam companies like Crapwire Interactive. Do not buy their games. Speak with your wallets. Do not let these anti-consumer practices go ignored.

And lastly the video I mentioned at the start for comparison the sounds of guns:

P.S. Lots of butthurt KF2 raging fanboys trying to pollute my review with their useless comments without arguments. Guess what c*nts? I'll exactly behave now like your favorite Tripwire is doing & remove all your crap comments. If I see any bul**hit comment from you, I'm gonna f**king delete. Enjoy my justice now.

How I imagine a regular day at Tripwire:

*Alan Wilson walks into the room*

Alan Wilson: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WORK SLOWER EVERYONE, DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO REACH OUR DEADLINE ON TIME? DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT THE COMMUNITY TO THINK WE RESPECT THEM? NOW GET BACK TO WORK, KILLING FLOOR: INCURSION ISN'T GOING TO DEVELOP ITSELF!

Employee: But- what about Killing Floor 2?

Alan Wilson: KILLING FLOOR WHAT?

It has been said many times. Seems just like a cash grab, especially with microtransactions amidst such slow development. Killing floor 1 was so diverse and challenging, and with some positive aspects, this game does not compare to its predecessor. Really a dissapointment.

2 New Maps (along with map achievements):
Catacombs, deep under Italy, full of dark tunnels and caves, likely to get even darker when you blow out the lights.
Evacuation Point, on the Danish coast, where yet another attempt to escape from the outbreak failed horribly.

2 full Perks - Demolition and Firebug. That should keep all the fans of explosions and burning things happy!

Finally, a whole bunch of weapons, including all the weapons for each of the new Perks, along with the first Duallies - starting with dual 9mm pistols.
