So, Tripwire, can we actually choose what we've unlocked?
- Thread starter Schnitzel15
- Start date
Damn it! Why don't the most popular threads ever get the chance to be responded by a dev? Any words AT ALL would do just fine.
What's the point if this thread dies and then a week later another one starts with the same question...

It would be waste of time. They'd get quoted a few times and then the ramble would go on. Even if something got changed, people would find another thing to complain about and would proceed to complain until dev answers to complaint again and we're back to square one.

I'm sure they're working on implementing this. It probably requires some new menu work and such, which is taking them a bit of time.

Tripwire hope that you confirmed with it and also understand that Red orchestra doesn't have to be in fashion with the leveling system it is USELESS!!! It only botters you and makes players to not play as a team by focussing only on kills not on objective to upgrade theyr weapons , is very stupid .

If this ever happens, bayonets would be better off as standard issue, attachable/detachable in real time, and the vast majority of unlocks would need to be balanced in a way that makes all loadouts relatively fair.
I realize a feature like this will probably be a ton of coding and testing, but it really needs to be done. There is just too much going on with proficiencies and upgrades for any of it to be truly balanced (except when everyone is max rank) or -in my case- enjoyable. Now, I don't have anything against unlock systems, but I really think this game would have been better off without it. There is no flexibility or freedom with this system; you defeat the purpose of having it when you force people to use specific gear.
There are few ways TW could go about redoing this feature.
1. Let players make and save their own loadouts in their profile so they can just use them when they hop in game.
2. Every time the player enters role selection they just go through the list of add-ons when picking their weapon etc. (I imagine this would be the easiest to implement)
3. A combination of 1 and 2. Let players make loadouts on the role selection screen and have it save the data to a file so that they don't have to do anything the next time they play if they don't want to (the file could probably be used to make loadouts out of game as well)
I'm sure there are plenty of people in the community who would be willing to help make this happen (I would), but right now I just want to see TW give a word or two on this particular matter. People have been making requests for a better loadout system since the beta and I think it should be addressed.
...if proper unlock management was on the Dec 14 poll, I would vote for it in a heart beat.

It even says it in the game manual that the bayonet increases sway -.-'

I'd like essentially the list that Kleist posted on the first page. Only addition I'd really make is making the anti-tank magnetic mine actually magnetic so you would have to run up and attach it, instead of tossing a conical design that isn't meant for throwing.

It's tripwire, they make polls so we can decide what they work on for the next patch and they've added new guns to killing floor, a game that's now more then 2 years old. They support their games over a very long term basis and they're the only developer I know of who follows community suggestions so closely.
Besides, this seems like a basic thing that was either forgotten or not implemented by release.

Nope, nothing impossible about it, there's no technical problem that would prevent it.
The only thing that could is if TWI doesen't want to change it for whatever reason, or if they don't know how to code it.

No, but it's unlikely to be added anytime soon I'm afraid:
1) Add a new key bind for "fix/remove bayonet"
2) Add code to weapon handling, to allow bayonet to be switched at will
2b) Decide whether reload/melee should interrupt bayonet fix/remove
3) Add animations so players can see this happening
Animations would be the biggest job I think. They may actually have been made already - maybe the bayonet was originally intended to be removable as with RO:Ost, but they changed their minds. Given the other things on the "priority list", I don't think this one will be done in a hurry.
