/kfg/ - Killing Floor 2 General

So for new Medic I'm thinking:
>5: Symbiotic Health. Other skill may be better, but not sure.
>10: Combat Doctor. Cause I'll miss my movement speed
>15: Focus Injection. I'm just assuming the other skills the same shitty DoT that we already have.
>20: Coagulant Booster. Fuck you if you take the other skill
>25: Airborne Agent. I guess a free heal, 5% damage and 10% damage reduction on zed time is alright. Not sure how much "massive" is going to be.

Kind of sucks we don't get a discount on buying armor to off-set the increased cost.

...

>We also have some Zedconomy changes that are going live today.
>We have also increased the drop rate so that players should receive a new drop daily.

>those speed nerfs
we no longer speed demons?

Maybe soon sprinting will get a buff? As it is it only gives a marginal boost.

>Medic dropped to 10% - 20% with skill
>Gunslinger moved 5% from passive to a skill
>Medics can make everyone else 30% faster.

Only medic go nerfed

Mixed feels on support, especially the level 10 and 15 skills.
>choose between 30% extra power or 50% extra health
>increase your already good penetration or tighten pellet spread which can shorten your crowd clearing abilities
I'm going to miss that extra bulk in health, and tighter spread on shotties just feels silly, just make them slugs if you wanted them to focus singular targets.

Where do I even begin?

>Support
>Fix destroyed doors
>Passive weight
>Passive supplier
>Damage up 30%
>Supersupply that also gives you ammo
Sorry Commandos, but it's back to watching in the corner for you. This IS the Support we've been waiting for.

>Medic
>Base Move speed cut to 10% FUCK NO
>Skill Move speed 10% buff to 20% FUCK YES
>Healing yourself and others at the same time
>Can buff players' damage resist and/or damage and/or move speed at your discretion
>Weapon damage up 20%
Feels like a brand new day for Medics. All these powerful buffs that can be extended at will. It's glorious. Glad that move speed wasn't cut completely.

>Sharpshooter
>Stability means Slavshooter is now even more Slav
>New REU works in favour of the M14, Railgun won't benefit as much, but considering its already overwhelming power, it hardly needs to
>Assassin now superstronk
Good to see SS keeps getting the love and rightly so. Let it be so.

>Demo
>Patty nuking is dead
>Reactive armor back as a passive
YAY

>medic no longer an autosificient slut
looking good family

SOMEONE GET HEALSLUT ON THE PHONE

>medic no longer ez mode

We still have lock-on, though!

since they got rid of armor regen i really hope darts lock on at full HP or giving these retards a speed buff between rounds will be hell

If you really need that extra health then i've got bad news for you, son..

What did he mean by this?

Why couldn't you protect his smile, /kfg/?

I didn't even mean it in a "its ruined, cancel everything" way, it was just nice having a bit of extra beef to rely on when you were a close range fighter.

It can be argued firebug doesn't have that benefit too, but between high ammo count in 'mags' and reserves, heat wave causing everything to stumble back as well as general fire panicing and the passive sanic reloads, it came out fine when it needed to.

>Medic before
>Rapid Regeneration
>25% move speed
>20% more health

>Medic after
>Rapid Regeneration
>20% move speed
>25% more health or situational 50% Damage Resist
>20% more Weapon Damage

>medic no longer ez mode
How should this statement be interpreted?

Holy shit those changes. I'll have to see how it turns out but is it finally happening? Also, explain that reactive armor to me. Does it mean that upon your armor being used up you explode, dealing damage to Zeds around you and leaving you to scramble to heal up that 1HP?

>just make them slugs if you wanted them to focus singular targets.
some spread makes the single target shooting a challenge, to get all pellets on target
support takes better aim than any other perk

Pretty much.
It's like a second chance if you get swarmed.
Bomb goes off, killing everything around you that's not a bloat or above.
Then you run off while pressing Q.

Hi.

What did they do to medic this time?

Is sedate fixed yet?

Passive Skills

>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)

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

LvL 15 Focus Injection

LvL 15 Acidic Rounds

They made medic even better, now you can just shoot zeds instead of hitting them with darts to make them slower.
Please play with us and pocket me

Sounds interesting, when do we get this update?

Message me on steam whenever.

...

post feet

Fuck off retard.

Don't tell me what to do, chucklefuck.

...

Don't tell me not to tell you what to do, loser.

>These changes
>That Support
I'm happy lads

>loser
You didn't have to take it that far, man

WHY DID THEY BUFF SUPPORT? IT WAS FINE AS IS, NOW IT WILL JUST CENTRALIZE THE META AGAIN

That was rude of me, I apologize, user.
You're great and should feel great.

the only thing I don't like about some of these changes is that there's still too much repetition so some perks have really similar skills but overall it's better than what we have now

too bad this won't be live until it's time for college to start again

When does it the opt in start?

The Great Door Renaissance is upon us.

shut up white bitch

2-3 weeks

>The following skills weren't picked very much so we've buffed the following skills.
>LvL5 FallBack skill
>9mm and knife now do 2.1x more damage (was 0.6x)
People actually choose Impact unironically?
The weapon swap speed and 9mm damage boost is a lot handier than some shitty stumble skill.
>9mm at 46.5(15+15*2.1) damage will be almost the equivalent of an AK-12 at 50.75 (35+35*0.25+35*0.2)
Can't wait to be a better gunslinger :)

>mfw Medic main

>Base speed down to 10%
I hate it.

>Can't heal armor anymore
I hate that I can't get free armor from myself anymore, but love the fact that idiots can't scream for me to armor them up anymore.

>Level 5 Symbiotic Health
I intend to abuse the fuck out of this and live forever.

>Level 5 Resilience
Damage resistance is nice, but it's only going to shine when you're sub 50hp without any health bonuses and about to take a big zed dicking. Not sure if it'll save you or not.

>LvL 10 Adrenaline Shot
Oh wonderful, now I'm going to be surrounded by loud idiots with a need for speed constantly telling me to dart them up.

> LvL 10 Combat Doctor
Fuck the team, I need most of my speed back. A professional like me needs to be able to maneuver around things.

>LvL 15 Focus Injection
I'll probably take this if the other one is shit.

>LvL 15 Acidic Rounds
It's shit. Unless it's going to be doing nuke levels of damage or take immensely less darts to cause panic.

>LvL 20 Coagulant Booster
Remember that I Adrenaline Shot I didn't take? Well, I'm going to run ahead of you, pump you with darts, and you're going to take whatever punishment that I'm not. You're just a meatshield to me.

>LvL 20 Battle Surgeon
Unless it changes any breakpoints against big zeds noticeably, then meh. Base damage does fine against trash (with the exception of the med pistol doing jack shit against anything more than a clot).

>LvL 25 Zed Time - Airborne Agent
I'm not going to be around the team when they're taking a pounding. I will be pumping darts from afar.

>LvL 25 Zed Time - Zedative
Nuke? Is it Nuke? Did someone say NUKE?! But in all seriousness, why did you kill Sedate? My pride and joy as a skilled medic is no more.

This is a mixed bag of feels for me.

>Firebug no longer starts with full ammo

is firebug not going to be shit now?

With everything else being improved people still won't care about Firebug. But maybe.

It's not like they're adding any new content/features in these perk reworks so how is the opt-in not available now?
As for content, SWAT and/or MA is the biggest thing they could put out that people would care about.
Maps don't really matter as long as it isn't horribly dark or like containment station, they could just make the museum map official they already worked on and add in a good community map this time around.
Besides the modded weapons zane+others worked on, what else could they have been holding back from us?

>what else could they have been holding back from us?
Is that Australian tumblr-user added in yet? Haven't played in a while.

Yeah, rae higgins is in. It even says "new female character" on kf2's new bullseye banner, because "new character" wasn't enough.

She's been in for a month and a half.

Probably holding out on implementing webm related.

>can still 1 shot the scrake with the railgun since the chainsaw only blocks his mouth
>using a controller without aim assist or purposefully missing crawlers, ever

>parrying is back
>support is back
>GS/sharp more usable
>medic reworked
>firebug reworked
>demo buffed
Commando having 60 round SCAR mags is going to satisfy my want for an LMG class at least

This almost sounds too good to be true
What's the catch?

The game's still dead.

Takes 2-3 weeks for them to implement value changes/minor perk changes

>missing crawlers, ever
I bet if you shoot another zed near them, they'll see that as a near miss from themselves and dodge.

>>LvL 25 Zed Time - Zedative
>Nuke? Is it Nuke? Did someone say NUKE?! But in all seriousness, why did you kill Sedate? My pride and joy as a skilled medic is no more.

It was already dead, sedate was considered a stun when stun durations were nerfed so it's almost useless against boss zeds.

M203 when

This.
Stuns last 1.3 seconds against SCs/FPs, and only 1 second against bosses.
Essentially worthless.

>waah I can't leave the team to die and kite for 30 minutes anymore
get fucked

>5% move speed loss still leaves enough to do it
no YOU get fucked

>three shot double barrel

So is this Game worth $15 lads?
Steam reviews make it sound like garbage.

...

it is now, but wait another month for them to make it or break it

>Support can now fix broken doors.
Has Tripware realized how bad they fucked up?

That's for the opt-in beta to show them, or not.
It's good they're trying it, either way.

bump

SS's current rack em up goes to about 70% damage, so the change effectively makes you lose 20% damage,

no idea how it will affect fp and sc combos, but i think fp combos will become even harder than they already are.

gonna be harder to get rack em up benefit with railgun, but m14 and dual 500/deag will have a lot more room for error
spam spam spam oh what fun

Killing zeds in one shot oh what fun
:^)

Well that was a nice and quick /kfg/, see you again in 3 weeks

>Two old men chase each other around the world and then get into a fist fight on a boat

Liquid Ocelot in KF2 when?

oshit that zombie dabbing!

So.. How we rating this WWAUT so far?

Well /kfg/ this was fun for a bit.
See you for the BETA FOR THE UPDATE I guess.

I am unhappy that nothing was mentioned about SWAT or MA, but the awesome news for the perks makes up for it.

When this update will go live? another 3 weeks?

Two to three weeks.
Which is coincidentally the same time that I hope Days of War releases, so that I can fall for the Early Access meme a second time.

All in all pretty nice, good to see the last two of the remaining starting 4 (medic and support) got attention and feel fresh.

Beserker looks like it'll be a more reliable tank before its recent change

Commando just got a slight buff but its something, backup stronk

Slinger is interesting, especially no recoil penalty from moving hipfires and 30% lower speed on zeds with headshot, can't wait to see what that's like

Demo getting reactive armor again is cool, slight nuke nerf sucks but understandable. Still a reliable force and I won't hate having one about.

Medic is definitely going to be mixed feels, no armor to offer and losing speed is a drag but these darts which pump you with temporary power drugs is far more interesting. Teammates getting chased and at low health? No problem, shoot that nigga and give him extra speed and natural resistance to get out of there. If it effects you when you self heal, i'll be a happy camper.

Firebug.. Honestly, I don't play enough and it doesn't look too different besides skills being switched about.

Support having a passive boost in carrying, supplier, ammo and being able to fix doors is great, potentially having 50% bigger mag, extra damage and supplier offering even more ammo AND armor is even more amazing, especially because the last rewards you with 20% extra ammo for yourself. All that I wonder now is will AA12 still cost a tier 2 to refill when you buy it.

Sharp just went up and beyond to be even more great, buffs everywhere and just squatting on the job gives you some nicer benefits.

8/10

Only the specialist in shotguns can pull off such a move.

>we'll never get a character like Moe
Why even bother playing this trash

>no Chiappa Triple Threat

Stay tuned

So how about those medic changes?
