When will the next update hit?

warrior98 · Apr 28, 2015

I am just very eager/excited to see the next patch hit. Could be some new things or just fixes to the game, which are always, always nice. I play Marvel Heroes 2015 and the devs always announce the update and what is coming so I always look forward to what's going to happen, especially the games that I love, and Killing Floor 2 is arguably one of the best games out there, with the devs being so involved in updating the game. Also, knowing what's coming keeps my insanity in place xD.

Thanks all!

Unfortunately I think it's mostly going to be balance patches for the near future which aren't too exciting.

I expect a map in summer, another in September and another before Christmas, ahead of the full release. A perk a month looks likely too, seeing how they expect 6 months of EAccess and have 6 perks to add.

The game cant really be balanced until we get the other classes though. I mean if they make scrakes have less hp like everyone is calling for and then release sharpshooter or demoman then suddenly scrakes are way too easy.

Right now we have no real damage dealers so the harder zeds seem impossible. Hell apparently the berserker was nerfed before EA. It might have just been temporarily to bring it in line with other classes while they don't have other damage dealing classes out.

"As we move forward in the coming weeks we are also working towards general bug fixes, balance changes, and a bit further down the line, the next set of content (maps, perks and weapons!)."

Looks like it'll at least be a couple weeks.

I do agree without the introduction of a Sharpshooter or Demolitions perk it's hard to tell how they should balance the perks out

It's what make me believe what I've read on the steam store page too.

Balance patches are exciting for me.

I expect (read: hope) that we'll get something today.

So what's stopping them from simply bringing up back the health values of the big Zeds once the heavy-hitting perks are introduced?

I really hope they push all the perks into game before any new maps or anything else, there no point of them balancing the current perks/zed stats then having to re-balance when other perks release.

Being the first EA I've ever bought, I wanted to ask you guys how much time does an early access usually last before the final game. Are we talking about something that will take months or years?

Paronine · Apr 28, 2015

They said around six months, but it could take longer, depending on any issues that might come up. I doubt it'll be that much delayed, considering how polished the game is already and how good they've been about bug fixes so far.

Nothing, just pointing out that without the damage dealers it's hard to say what's right in terms of balance.

A hotfix while they work on the other perks is fine with me.

SteelSoldier · Apr 28, 2015

There's one thing that might be hinting the next perks though which are the off perk weapons we have available to us, the Flamethrower and the Katana, the Flamethrower is obviously a Firebug weapon while the Katana is a martial artist weapon.

Since they already have these weapons in the game, it might be an indicator that these perks might be closer to release than other perks since they are already available to us, but this is only speculation on my part.

I love the game but playing the same 3 maps over and over is starting to get a bit dull honestly.

Same. There was some talk by them about not releasing a patch on Friday because if something went wrong they didn't want to have to fix it over the weekend.

And since we didn't see a patch on Monday, I'm hoping there's one today.

That is early access bud, you generally play early access games to get a feel of the game and give feedback then you wait for more content so you don

Chimpster · Apr 28, 2015

I really hope they fix the camera change bug. Pressing my middle mouse button does nothing.

Thats the funny thing about Early Access. You get tired of the small amount of content that a dev offers and always coming away wanting more. Content and fixes are released so slowly over months and months that you basically tire of everything because you've ran it all into the ground multiple times. By the time the final release hits your not excited as you've already experienced everything the game has to offer . Hah..I love early access.

BEEEEEES · Apr 28, 2015

kinda feel like we're still in the bug solving phase unfortunately; i'm not expecting any balance changes or new content for a while. poor zerker...
