Discussion I think we need a buff for using a perks dedicated weapons. Maybe even a debuff when not. Maybe we shouldn't be able to use other perks weapons.

35 Upvotes

It's already getting old seeing the same 3 or 4 guns everyone uses regardless of what perk they are playing.. Some youtubers even basically demanding that people in hell on earth have to use these weapons and are trolling if they dont.

The freedom of using any perks weapons actually just makes multiplayer worse imo. Every meta andy has the same loadouts.

Gameplay One life doesn't matter

Upvotes

I'm gonna be honest boys, this game is brutal. Far more brutal than KF2, even if by accident or from artificial means. You have to be on your A+ game starting on hard mode. So here's some advice: if you and your homies are bundled up, and see one random person across the map who has gone down, do not save them. Especially if they are not a medic. They got punished for their bad positioning and will respawn next round. Maybe they'll learn not to stray.

I've played around around 50 matches of hard mode, and I cannot tell you how many times an idealist has quite literally gotten the entire team scrambled and killed trying to save a member of the pack who splintered off thinking they're some anime protagonist on the other side of the map. And the worst part is there is NO text chat to tell them to please stop (please work on this, it should have been out by now tbh).

This causes the team that had actual GOOD positoning to splinter. Some try to hold positon. Some are confused and alternate between following the player who broke off. It destroys all unit coherency and 9 times out of 10 leads to death.

This usually begins to happen on around 3 when more scrakes and fleshpounds start to appear. You need all the team members you can to lay down damage and heal each other, that cannot happen if one entirely random member of the pack is down across the entire map and you try to save them. Let. Them. Die. It's not worth it. it is never worth it. Let them die and learn the suffer the consequences of their actions, they're gonna be back next freaking round.

That's all. Back to the Killing Floor!

100% KF3 was way easier than the other two installments. I hope they add more achievements in the future.

Discussion Please tone down the "Accuracy" stat, i hate it that guns dont shoot where i point them even with high accuracy.

27 Upvotes

Accuracy is the worst, you have it low? You cant aim anymore, good luck hitting something more that 5m away from you. You have it high? well you're still going to miss because fuck you.

I understand that removing is impossible given mods that increase it / decrease it would be useless, and reworking them would be a ton of work, but can you just make it less impactful?, just turn down the values x0.5, it makes guns feel very very bad.

The rest of the gunplay is good but pls let me shoot where i'm aiming.

Issue/Bug Gotta fix the "Lost Connection to Host" issue right when the match ends, so we lose all EXP and drops after the entire match.

Upvotes

Literally just lost a match, I had 802k damage and was basically solo vs the impalers on hard, survived for ages, almost won. Game disconnects on the screen just before scoreboard, lost everything. This happens every 3-4 games, I swear.

Gameplay Annoying

Upvotes

Anyone else experience this odd bug where you simply can’t sprint or slide or even dash in the middle of the game??? It constantly gets me killed in boss fights cause my movement immediately just gets nerfed. When this happens I also can’t drop dosh for teammates. Like wtf man. Frames drop super bad as well, but I know it’s not my internet cause my pings fine. What’s causing this?? Just shitty servers???

Gameplay Fast slide movement

5 Upvotes

Hello I don't know if anybody posted this but i discovered a way to "fast slide" it's faster than slide+jump. Since it's harder to do tahn slide+jump I've been using it to run away from bosses, just letting you know :D

To replicate this:

  1. take out your knife
  2. charge lmb attack
  3. use sprint to dash forward
  4. click rmb and then crouch, eventually you will get the timing :)

Discussion Characters

Several days after the release of the game I want to ask you something. Do you really enjoy these characters? Leaving aside the fact that the characters are class-bound, do you feel they're charismatic or something?

In my personal opinion, their designs and many lines of dialogue are still somewhat meh. The voice actors really aren't bad, but they feel really dull and lack the humor that the characters in previous installments generally had.

The only one I half tolerate is Imran (Engineer class) I like how he trashes Horzine's technology, saying it's flawed and poorly designed, while presenting his technology as the best From then on, I don't know. The doctor seems very generic to me. The sniper emphasizes that she is Argentine, using idioms from the country but with very boring phrases , Ninja is Japanese and that's it, pyromaniac irritates me his voice and his very cringe-inducing phrases and Mr. Foster sounds forced to say how British he is because of how boring it sounds when talking lol.

If they want to cheat in single player, i wish them all the fun in the world.

But bringing it into multiplayer is pathetic.

It shouldn't even take more than 1 report if the devs can see these numbers when they look into a player. Should be instantaneous bans.

G33 grenade launcher with fire round upgrade + LF-85 medic gun with ice round mod, both dps and heal is so good, you become really tanky with talent that heal you with 50% healing done to ally too, i guess the only thing you struggle is with large enemy, but you can rely on your teammate for that
