WWAUT - Are You Ready To Beta?

[Yoshiro]

Just like last week, I am starting this weeks What We Are Up To post a bit differently. As many of you know, the new development work on the build has been wrapped up and we have branched off into a release candidate with QA working it through its final paces. This past week we

I don't understand why optimal "beta" shouldn't be completely broken and therfore not released today.

Love that my favorite weapon in the game is getting serious buff though.

Nice! Beta beta!!

yeah im at a loss with this as well, in fact if its for us to do our own qa with, i figured it would be good to have a full weekend of reports from the community.

Sweet, cant wait to finally get my hands on this build!

Quick question, is the Zweihander an actual new weapon? Or is it a skin that's going to go over another weapon?

Either way I'm probably going to get it

 

[Diogenes]

So this update has even more content then expected, excelent

But we still have no confirmation about the new flex physics, is it coming in this update or not?

 

[Obrob]

Zwihander? A knight? Ok, I have a HUGE boner right now.

 

[mindfray]

Not able to opt in yet? Sorry I skimmed through the thread. when I right click kf2 >beta and click to opt in the only available option is to "NONE opt in to no betas"

 

[Diogenes]

I believe its a bit redundant to make a beta update in an early access game.
I mean, its already an early access game, things being unpolished was expected from the start...

And we stated from the start that wasn't our position on early access.

It is a sword. Not a skin on the Katana, the only other sword in the game. It is a long, long sword.

Love the Eviscerator block buff; AAR was something I always liked on L4D so, cool; Please let the zweinhander have equal stats to the crovel, please don't let it be better than the crovel/pulverizer as in P2W. Don't start with stuff like it was in KF1 . And I say that looking over the fact that I own Chivalry. It just won't be the last time... And I don't want to 'have' to keep buying better weapons. Please make it be cosmetic only.

 

[HunBonus]

Oh I luckily own Chivalry, so I can get the content with the next update, but I fear in the future I may get left out and I will have to buy other games for KF2. Meh.
But at least we can anticipate a release next week.

 

[NonCom]

And we stated from the start that wasn't our position on early access.

I think he is saying he would rather not get in earlier via a beta and just wait for the regular update and so, avoid the impression of special access.

 

[nejcooo]

It doesn't seem to fit berserker role as it fits more to perk that will use katana. Should come later or be off-perk weapon

 

[Charibasa]

Does this beta have our progress carried over from the main game? Also does our progress from the beta carry over to the main game? I really am excited to start leveling these new classes but I am unsure if it will actually count towards progress.

Also how do you block and parry with a bloody eviscerator?

 

[poultrygeist]

ok so RPGing my way about had me already on the seat..but now theres a zweihaender thrown in as well..i have peepee in my eyes right now. too bad my PC is still broken grrr
thanks for the intel, cant wait to try out the new stuff

 

[morticore]

Will be there experience transfered from "opt in beta" to standard version of a game?

 

[Ryno5660]

Very nice, I like the details on eviscerator changes! Mutators coming online is cool too, are there any preset ones coming along just yet?

Also this opt-in beta, do we just post what we find in the bugs section or is there some other kind of system when you opt in?

Final question, would love to be put out of my misery here: Have the flame/flamethrower visuals been changed at all? I'm getting "hopes up" syndrome about that one!

 

[Escadin]

Say what you will about this EA but Yoshiro knows how to sell those WWAUT posts!

Will be there experience transfered from "opt in beta" to standard version of a game?

I would like to know that as well...
