Anyone else have to restart the game a bunch just to get the servers to show up? It's really annoying.

Killing Floor 2 Early Access |OT| I Buy You. Birth sign: DOSH
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Never had any issues with that.
I have just spent about 3 hours setting up an apache server for the first time, a lot of trial and error later and my server is now properly re-directing players so they can download custom maps when connecting.
The last 30 minutes troubleshooting was solved by a single backslash I had to put at the end of the re-direct IP.
The satisfaction I feel right now is pretty great.
No I have a friend who can't buy properly or has a sound glitch that is annoying as all hell from his description.
So true. If you're not bursting on your commando you're just wasting ammo same can be said for not abusing headshots or using the pistol on weaker zeds.

Ya thats true enough
Oh, there's already custom maps?
Very few, just did this so I have it working for when there's more. I have one map that is a variation of outpost with less snow and an extra area.
The combination of how long it seems to level and how much just the base bonuses that are a function of perk level help on higher difficulties is kinda kills my mood to play, especially for this pre-final version. It's starting to feel like grinding just to play the "real" game, even if the harder difficulties aren't massively different than Normal in terms of gameplay. Not to mention I can't imagine getting the 10 perks levelled up adequately in a non-insignificant amount of time after the game comes out of Early Access.
Or maybe I'm just not enjoying the game as much as I thought I would and I'm regretting my purchase. I'm not sure how I can shake this feeling of wasting my time by not sticking to one class and their respective weapons.

Sawed-off shotty's alt fire is a goddamn beast. Line up a bunch of Zeds in a straight line then BOOM! Enjoy the ragdolls. So good.

Finally conquered a map as a 5-man group, without resorting to camping. What a relief that victory was.

Congrats, I'm hoping to at least try suicidal in the next few days.

Was this with a public game or with a premade one?

Pre-made one. Lost patience with public games with how people either want to foolishly camp (yuck) with a composition not well-suited for it, decide to do their own thing or set off Scrakes at random. Worst of all is level 0 - 5 players joining in while having absolutely no clue what awaits them and effectively holding everyone else back. Makes an already big undertaking one hell of a crapshoot in terms of success rate.
My friend and I have been playing on suicidal for a while now and you get so many low level people joining in just dragging everyone down.
Fortunately I run my own server and can get rid of people like that if they do nothing but die and make it harder for everyone else. Had 2 people the other day who did absolutely nothing to help. One guy got 5 kills in 2 waves and the other one got 30 in 4 waves. I mean, for real? =/

Meh.
At least it shows how impressive can be the amount of dynamic shadows casted by the engine.

With how bad a lot of people already are, I don't think encouraging powerleveling is the best thing. They won't learn shit, join difficulties above their skill because they have a high level character now and ruin the game for other people.
I don't see the point in doing something boring to progress if it will just get reset anyway.

Had some asshole join a HoE session yesterday right as we were hitting wave 7, but he didn't actively participate (stayed in the opening menu instead) and we lost because of the extra spawns. That's ignoring the Zed damage and health scaling too. There were only 8 left before we got wiped, so if it wasn't for Joe Schmo we could've at the very least triggered the boss. Guy must've been desperate for his precious achievement.
Tripwire implementing automated booting (in conjunction with level caps) can't come soon enough. Or rather, I hope they're actively working on that type of functionality.

So what's the go-to place (that isn't sketchy) to get this game these days? I'm down to go in on a 6 pack, or get a 6 pack if there are people that want to split the cost.
Super excited about this one, with minor concerns over level grinding- only part about part 1 that I wasn't too fond of.

I didn't see anything mentioning Killing Floor 2, and the only reason why they reset everything in Red Orchestra is due to the fact that people were awarded XP in a non-correct manner. So is that what's going on right now for KF2?
Just go to the Buy/Sell/Trade thread, I've seen people selling keys for $20 bucks.

I think TheSeks is giving an example of something Tripwire has done in the past when resetting levels as an idea of what they could do in KF2.

It's basically an "If we need to reset them, we'll reset them" stance for the moment, but they have told players to expect it happening.
I feel like this is really not a necessary step. Unless something absolutely catastrophic happens which makes everyone level 25 on all perks, or a complete rewrite of the perk system (and some of these perks need reworking), they shouldn't punish legit players by resetting progress across the board again.

The experience "grind" in Killing Floor 2 is nowhere near as insane as 1's, thankfully. It's a lot more gradual with class attributes handed out every 5 levels (the max being 25).

It's early access. They'll add more in the coming months.
I just finished Biotics Lab on 6 players hard. I died within 1 minute of the boss wave starting though, and the other people in the team almost all died in the first and second phases. Only two guys were left to finish phase 3, and one of them died right at the end of that phase. So there was only 1 guy (medic) left for the whole last phase... And this bastard managed to pull it off! It took forever but he killed the boss. I always find it really fun to just watch really skilled players solo the boss after everyone's died. It almost never works out but it just makes those few instances when it does work out even more impressive.
A bit earlier I also played my first (and only) game where everyone was well organised... One guy was using his mic to tell everyone what to do. I can't believe how much simpler it makes the game. We just blew everything away, we were never in any real danger. I kinda wish I got to play with organised people like that more often.

I really hate the mechanics of the new boss. Forced phasing and all that.

Thinking about picking this up.. I could go for a good co op shooter.
It takes time, it doesn't help that it isn't simple to port over maps from other Unreal projects. You can't use brushes because of the splatter tech, the lighting model is different so all that has to be redone and you can't create your own materials you have to use instances of the ones that are already in so all of those have to be redone as well. Slowly working on getting my RE Mansion level over though seeing as I'm going to have to redo a lot of it that could take awhile even though I have all the assets done already.
SubCentral is pretty well done, a little small yes, but overall it's one of the better custom maps available now.
Stack (one of the Goldeneye maps), while kinda fun to play on, looks so incredibly boring.
I just installed the SDK to see if I can make something at all, having never touched a game editor in my life I feel like this now.

Tripwire said the Early Access period will last 6 months.
And since there are 6 classes left to be added (along with patty) I won't expect another update for a few more weeks.

Latest patch fixed so you don't get XP on them anymore. That's probably a big reason to why they died off. It's also not really fun after a few games.

Yeah, the 100 man servers don't have much in the way of long-lasting appeal. At first it's a neat novelty, but the automatic health and damage scaling on Zeds goes out of control with the bigger targets.
So I finished all the maps on Suicidal (wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be when you have a decent team that's good at kiting) but I'm only level 13. I'm affraid I'll be a bit of a dead weight if I move onto HoE straight away.
What do you guys reckon is a good level to start HoE?

Okay that's quite far off. I hope they don't reset perks because it'd be a pain to do the levelling more than once for the same class (I'll have to do it anyway when my dear sharpshooter comes back).
So right now I can see zerk and commando getting the most changes (especially commando). Commando is fairly useless for his first ten levels on any difficulty above normal. Everything that made him good in the first game is locked behind perk skills. His level up stats don't really add anything that the other classes don't get. I mean, while seeing stalkers and health is nice. He doesn't have a lot of team contribution until he is really level and can kill trash mobs very effectively. He desperately needs recoil reduction added back in and have it scale with level. Either that or adjust the recoil on his weapons because the ak's and scar's is god damn ridiculous and not viable on full automatic. His starting weapon is literally the worst out of everyone's because the damage is awful and the burst is laughably slow. Also some of his perk skills don't fit his class, why oh why do I want extra pistol and knife damage?

I wonder how SWAT, Gunslinger, Martial Artist will be like. Gunslinger will probably be dual wielding pistols. Martial Artist I don't know... more on parries and maybe an exclusive grab/throw/charge? SWAT will come with a riot shield?
