what went wrong?

>>718560562 (OP)
Retarded balancing, retarded material grinding, retarded RNG grinding, missing core features like text chat in a multiplayer game, no flavor to the characters, locking characters to perks (they are changing this at least), atrocious netcode, paying more for less content, etc.

Another big one is leveling not requiring your perk's actual weapons and said weapons very barely being tied to said perk. So everyone just takes the best weapon (Vulcan) for every class.

Devs made a generic mobile game and slapped a killing floor label on it

>>718560562 (OP)
What DIDN'T?

>>718560562 (OP)
I'm enjoying it.
>So everyone just takes the best weapon (Vulcan)
It's not as common as Reddit would have you believe.

>>718561017
I can't play multiplayer if I want to play actual melee ninja. Besides the terrible netcode making parries so fucked that sometimes I have to parry an attack from an enemy I just killed I can't see shit because of all the Vulcan spam.

I use the ss pistol, auto shotgun, and artermis rifle on every build because it's fun

>>718560716
no server browsing means no custom maps so that's enough reason for me not to try this game

>devs backtracked on locking guns to their respective classes
>forgot their spaghetti code means perk bonuses apply to EVERY weapon
>sharpshooter can proc headshot buffs via explosive shotguns hitting zed feet
>ninja becomes one the best perks due to having high self sustain and dmg bonuses via bleed while using the vulcan (kunais are good alternative but riskier as its not a gun)
>medic is useless as every perk just heal themselves via perk skills and cam buy his tf2 medi gun to rapidly heal everyone
bravo nu-tripwire

>>718561017
This. The game is good, actually. I love locking characters to perks. The same weapon on every class is healthy. I don't need text chat in multiplayer anyways. Glory kills are fun and engaging. Dwindling playerbase? More for me, then.

>>718560562 (OP)
Gunplay is ass and it looks ugly.

>>718563596
why is it ass

>>718563510
kek absolutely seething
>The same weapon on every class is healthy
you're free to use any weapon you like :^)
>Glory kills are fun and engaging.
The glory kills suck and have no place in a KF game, I'll give you that.

>>718563510
t. hasn't played the game

why do guns take up half the screen?

>>718562759
this

>>718563510
This guy is ass blasted beyond repair.

the game is a buggy fucking mess - i can't even buy armor lmao

>>718560562 (OP)
I haven't played it yet. I'm sure I will, years from now. But at the moment? No thanks.

>what went wrong?
We've answered this question 1000 times already. Write down the answers so you won't have to keep making the same thread every single day.

>>718567331
i missed class

>playing as the sharpshooter
>healing more than the medic

>>718567865
>The ninja is a better gun class than commando and a better sniper than the sniper

>>718564542
Most of the guns are buttcheeks and they sound like shit.
Charge-type weapons get scuffed and inconsistent

>>718568426
>pyro is a better melee than ninja

this game is a fucking mess lmao

>>718568587
and this
>>718566258

oh so NOW you like class-locked weapons
looks like the devs knew what they were doing and /v/ was wrong like always

>nobody liked the sci-fi theme
>tripewire triples down on it
>why did our game flop lol

>>718568743
the fuck is this retard babbling about?

>>718568829
Failed most of your classes, huh?

>>718568743
No you nigger. I didn't want class locked weapons. I want weapons for class A to be the best on class A. Being able to take the double barrel for utility in kf2 was cool. Right now the weapons from class A are the best on every class.

>>718568859
says the guy completely misinterpreting what was said about the game's awful imbalance

come home white man

>>718568657
>noooo the players have too much freedom!
>pigeonhole me harder, daddy!

>>718569704
fuck off retard

>>718569704
you're an idiot

/v/ are armchair game devs confidently incorrect about everything, kek

>>718563510
Based

>>718560562 (OP)
its a blast, not sure if anything is wrong

I've yet to see anyone having a blast ITT.

>>718560562 (OP)
I'm having a blast! Shame the game will die in the next three years because of the lack of players and revenue.

Kicking John Gibson out because he said a no-no about trump or abortion or whatever.
Seriously, go look at the passion that autist has for the older game like RO/RS2, KF2, etc... he was the driving autism behind the high-fps animations that can show barrel whip. He's the autism behind the gore system needing to have PhysX (rip) enabled blood and fluids.
If John Gibson never got kicked out I wonder how much different KF2 would have turned out to be...

>>718570543
>If John Gibson never got kicked out I wonder how much different KF2 would have turned out to be...
Yeah, there wouldn't have been any EDARs or lootboxes. No goofy, out of place characters. None of those horrid sci-fi weapons.
Oh wait...

>>718563510
Shills utterly SEETHING at this post

>>718560562 (OP)
It's shit and soulless

>>718567865
>>718568426
>>718568657
Explain

>>718571026
game's balance is all over the place

>>718560562 (OP)
shitty game

>>718571249
thanks captain obvious

>>718571249
you don't say

>>718570652
were those all under his leadership? I assumed he was on the backburner at that point.

>>718571848
>were those all under his leadership?
Indeed.
Take a look at picrel. Normally /v/ would be shouting woke, but he "owned the libs" so it's ok apparantly.

>>718560562 (OP)
Still having a blast

>>718572393
Idk about "woke" as much as "christcuck/boomer"- but I do remember reading something about this way back when. Unfortunate that at the very end of his tenure he was chasing the loot box and "OMG ACTION GAIME!" trends.

>>718568796
To be fair, KF2 made them shittons more money than KF1 did.

>>718560562 (OP)
Do the maps have as much variety in locales as Killing Floor 1 did? I'm still thinking they're yet to top that game in regards to how different everything was.

>>718572663
Gibson was behind a lot of good stuff, but he was also responsible for a lot of bad shit. He's not some savior of the gaming industry just because he was a participant / victim in the culture war.

I'm having fun

>>718573298
Sorry, but the game doesn't live up to some jaded boomer's expectations, so you're not allowed to have fun.

>>718573098
I didn't want my argument to come off that way at all- I just hate that he got canned for that specific reason. My argument was that all of the good things that we autists went nuts for (gore system, audio, animations, environments/level design, "realism") was direct result of HIS autism requiring the respective teams to match that level of detail. I will always concede that the microwave gun and loot boxes spelled the end of KF2 though.

>>718574615
>I didn't want my argument to come off that way at all
Yeah it wasn't really directed at you either, more a comment on the topic in general.
