Bullseye Update Preview Beta

[DIENER]

There seem to be a missing file in the server beta branch.

.\Engine\Config\BaseGameStats.ini

I can't get it to download if it do exist. I just added a blank file and server worked but if there should be anything in it let me know.

Oooo, can't wait to check this out.

How long will the beta last?

I want to update my servers but am not willing to do that for just one weekend.

Now that is a patch note. I don't know if it's too much work for you guys or what but stuff like this when you guys do make modifications versus a "shotgun has been modified to be more balanced" is way more appreciated.

• Fixed the scream fx and destroying explosives to match.

Thank you!

We are getting some specimen guides up on the wiki here:

I messed around a little with sharpshooter perk today. I'm sorry but that lock on headshot crap with the railgun seriously needs to go.

Wow - firebug lovers are going to rejoice when the see the changelog..

Caulk N Burn

• reload speed increased to 1.55 (was 3.1sec)
• weight decreased to 5 (was6)

Dragons breath shotgun

• Weight decreased to 5 (was6)

Time to add a med pistol to your loadouts.


To offset that joy... I am now devastated...

Zed Shrapnel

• Damage reduced to 10 (was231)
• Damage Radius reduced to 200 (was840)

Damage reduced by 1200% and radius reduced by 400%? Subtle :s

I certainly hope you soften the blow by increasing the frequency in which the skill is triggered.

If the new direction here is to have it cause knockdown, as the post suggests, you may want to rename the skill.

Does anyone know what the Railgun's alt function does?

 

[Yoshiro]

Versus Changes now also included.

Railgun alt fire takes off the weakpoint auto aim for manual fire.

Nice, big update

Perk stat example images are now also going up on the wiki:

Do changes proposed by gunslinger's new "Rhythm Method" (former rack 'em up) actually apply yet? Counter still *ping*s at 7 but should be 4 if your answer is yes.

Perk stat example images are now also going up on the wiki:

Those images are perfect and I think they should be accessible from the game's main menu as well.

Wow, I am impressed big time! Not just by the sheer amount of changes and content on display here but on the different way this post has been written. It's good to see not just how you're changing perks and such, but why! Please keep this kind of information up if possible! Really lends some insight, helps me see alongside the stats a bigger picture of what you're doing, and I really like it!

It's taking shape, well done to all of you there and have a great time at E3 too!

Also, thank you for making and maintaining an information resource for such things like zeds! I've always felt some ingame/game-based communication could go a long way for KF2. I mean I do believe in a balance like how Dark Souls is known to leave it up to you to find things out, but communication and flow of information like this is great!

Compiled version of image wall aka all perks/zeds in a single, massive image will be available or community will have to make one ourselves?

As for update, time to learn to play again.

 

[FoolishNinja]

so i played about 3 rounds (2 with the ss and 1 with zerker).

I must say the damage of the zerker is like the prenerf zerker now. You can kill scrakes very fast with a zweih

Those images are very nice... how about making encyclopedia directly in the game with those pictures of enemies, perks etc. ?

I support this idea

 

[Ryno5660]

I'd like it eventually, like the Serious Sam 3: BFE encyclopaedia. Not necessary or needed but it's nice flair, a proper boon to those of us who like nerding out on rosters and viewmodels!
