Killing Floor 2 State of the Game, David Amata provides a look the accomplishments in 2019

Hemoclobber isn't listed on the Berserker portion of the survey. This is especially important because in-game, it's a Berserker weapon first and a Medic weapon second.

Just finished the survey!
As fun as new weapons are, I'd argue that new maps, modes, and Objective levels would be the most fruitful use of development resources when it comes to new content. Sure, the PC community can always add in custom modded content, but the quality control can be a mixed bag and you also have the console players to consider. A map or Objective is also something everybody can enjoy, not just the people who main a specific character. Further, as much as certain perks need a little more variety, each new weapon comes with the hassle of having to balance it (without it simultaneously becoming a dud that nobody uses).

As for what kind of new levels I enjoy, I'm surprised to find that my favorites tend to be the levels with a more "linear" progression (unless I'm power-leveling or starting a perk from zero, in which case I pick ZED Landing). The more "linear" levels (Krampus' Lair, Santa's Workshop, Nightmare, etc.) do a better job of making you move from one combat area to the next; the levels tend to feel like they have more "progression" and variety due to moving locations, and thus get less stale. Barring a defend-the-area, on a typical map my group tends to gravitate toward favorite sections of the map every single wave. You'll have HUGE maps, and we'll quickly use the pod and then run to play in a particular corner!

Finally, there was no option in the survey to say this so I'm asking it now in all capitol letters: PLEASE REWORK THE SURVIVALIST!
Not buff the current skills. Rework.
It is the most common thread you'll see posted in the "Ideas" forum, which should give you a fair start. In fact, I'm not one to socialize with strangers on internet forums (and I only play most videogames with my real-life friends) and yet it is the one thing I bothered to write a few topics here about!

I'm excited to hear about your plans for the future of the game, as well as working with Saber Interactive to make it happen! Thanks again for your hard work. This is easily the game my group has played the most this console generation!

Survey completed.

• Don't like the convoluted store and inventory system.
• I have purchased paid DLC from you previously, and I want to support the game further... but I have not purchased any of the new weapon DLC's, I don't believe they are a fair price.

TBH, i actually wonder if it'd be feasible for Tripwire to hold off on updating the game for 2020. Given the terrible video performance that the game has seen in recent years, I feel like the most prudent move would be to shift gears and look towards a $40 re-release of Killing Floor 2 on the more modern Unreal Engine 4. As it currently stands, KF2's a game of "How many things can you throw at an engine from 2006 until it finally gives up on you"?

A UE4 re-release of KF2 could also include Tom Banner, DJ Scully, the Zweihander, Road Redeemer, Rhinos, Ion Thruster, Mosin Nagant and Glock18 as part of the base game.

I wish the survey allowed for comments so I could explain WHY I chose some of the choices.

Amazing i love this game Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year

Completed survey although I concur it could've done with comment boxes to justify choices

By the end of 2020 I'd like to see this;

- ALL maps having an Objective variation
- More maps overall [1 per update doesn't last too long] - bringing back classic maps would be great - perhaps releasing 1 new plus 1 classic/community map
- At least 1 more Boss, I appreciate the Matriarch's addition but feel having 6 would be a good number for variety
- Assuring any/all bugs are addressed promptly, I commend fixing the crate bug and numerous map exploits but the game isn't quite perfect [weapon Skins 'limit' comes to mind]
- A way for max Prestige players to get Vault crates - missing out these last 2 updates has been rough - or make it so you can trade Vault Dosh for crates? [I'd buy them even if they were 1mill per purchase]
- Reduced focus on adding weapons for the sake of it, I'd take 3 per update instead of 5 if it meant we got more alternative content [more maps/Objective content for example]

Beyond that I look forward to the year ahead and thank you for all that you have provided so far

It pains me somewhat to say, seeing as I still very much enjoy Killing Floor 2 (and I obviously have very little, if any experience in game development at all), but it comes to a point where I honestly want to see something else.

Don't get me wrong. Each and every new update brings me back to the game. I love to try new guns. I love to explore new maps. I love to feel the small (or bigger) tweaks done to the game and its mechanics. But after nearly five years... I kinda want more.

What specifically? I don't know, and that's where my embarrassment lies. Because I honestly cannot grasp what's lacking, or what I'd want to see. All I can say is... "more".

A new game mode. A proper, full rework of pretty much everything (rebalancing and stuff). The implementation of a fully-fledged upgrade system. A new perk. A full-rework of the narrative (yeah sorry, but the scenario mode is VERY underwhelming at that point). Or, may I dare say it...
