WWAUT - Matching Costumes

[Yoshiro]

Hello everyone!

Before continuing to explore what the Zeds are up to this Halloween, we wanted to revisit the improved Matchmaking we mentioned in an early update and detail out what this means for you as a player.

The big thing players will notice is that the Main Menu Matchmaking UI has split into two options. Find A Match and Create A Match - the current system supports both of these but there can be confusion, especially for those new to the game. Find A Match will work most like what users will be used to from the existing system. It is intended for solo or small groups looking to hop into an existing game based on:

• Game Mode
• Difficulty
• Length
• And Region (For console players. On PC it now has an automatic ping filter to find low ping games)

They will be able to set what parameters they are searching for, and ask the game to find them a match that fits those parameters, starting first with games that are in lobby and not started. If it can't find one at all, it will inform players and recommend they change their settings (or try out the new Create A Match flow!)

The new path is the Create A Match option. Here the Group/Party Host will be able to set all the parameters from Online Matchmaking plus several more which are:

• Map
• And Permissions (who can join the game)
  • Public
  • Friends Only
  • Password

Parties who use this route will reserve a server in their region and it will change to match their chosen settings.

We believe these changes (including servers returning to the admin set default after a server has been used for a match) and fixes, we will also be looking for player feedback on how we can make this a better experience!

Now, what you've all been waiting for! The Husk and the Gorefast are exploring some costume options as well:

I just know I'm going to love the new match creation feature! Thanks TWI! <3

 

[pie1055]

Oh man, pleeeease do that gorefast. Doesn't matter if A or B to me, I just love the pharaoh look on him.

 

[Jafarson]

WOW! mummy concept is awesome! Please make it happen, we need Egypt theme: Pyramid map with mummy themed zeds! <3

 

[Buzzkillinton]

Yoshiro if you make it so the server returns to existing settings after takeover, i would happily re-enable takeover on my private server.

 

[Eight Foot Robot]

im loving all these differing themes for the zeds. is that Husk a pyromancer knight? looks wonderful!

 

[imnrk]

Looking good! I wonder how the armored Husk will work with the MEAT system.

 

[xmrmeow]

Mummy Gorefast in A and B both look very good, maybe they could just be gorefast and gorefiend because they're both great.

I like A better on Husk. Design A looks like a combination of a knight and an old potbelly stove with the fire visible through his chest, which is very cool. If he had like a chimney on his head or back with smoke coming out or maybe his arm was the chimney that'd be even better

 

[Kosake]

Hm... Husk B and Gorefast A I'd say. Will the new weapons be released with the haloween event or can we expect them to be patched in sooner?

 

[missing_trigger]

"Alexa, this is EPIC"

 

[TheTCREngineer]

Hoping to see a slimmer mummy pound ala KF1. Gorefast is cool too.

"...love the new match creation feature!..." pfff :facepalm:

...
In the year 2018, there are missing features that 10 years ago could be the online games

Server browser development:
- Real-time server browser is required (it is not currently... pathetic)
- Server name search option (pathetic that it does not yet contain)

Spectator connecting development:
- If someone joins the server as a spectator, you should not disconnect (reconnect) the server to enter the game (pathetic)

A better skip trader voting system is needed:
- It is necessary to have a hotkey vote to skip trader time (escape menu pathetic solution) and if a person has voted, a voting window appears (such as kick voting function)

Shared Content window no needed (useless)
- Instead, the server information window should be turned (on/off function), because the server information window when we close more we can not see it

You need to improve the versus mod cliens crash error (bloat/husk/crawler explosion):
- Pathetic is that after several update you can not play the versus for the mistake of it

- there are no admin rights ingame
- IP search
- server name search
- etc.
a day could be listed what is missing what is indispensable

Hurray today's game developers :applause:

This game has no future, and developments are in the wrong direction, the KF1 until a today's day more popular.

I love these guys

Aaaaaaah... another "KF1 or death" and "Everything KF2 related is trash" numbskull.
Tell me: if you are so absolutely negative about KF2, why you come here to check out the news? just to mock the people who like the game? and ***** about stuff?

 

[Aleflippy]

So, the Husk is Hades from God of War while the Gorefast is Kan-Ra from Killer Instinct ~~~~


I'm joking of course ;-) . This being said, I have some troubles to see what the overall theme of the event will be... "Classic monsters" seems to be the common ground, but I wouldn't think of a Knight as a monster? Plus, is the VR-set cyst even a classic monster? A "zombie" maybe?

This being said, all skins revealed so far are pretty cool-looking. Can't wait to see them in game!

Husk - Take the belly from version A and stick it on version B. Spikes are always a good thing.

Gorefast - Either one is great but B would be better since it'll look kind of weird with a whole bunch of them running around with the hats. Maybe the hat version would be good for the Gorefiends since they don't show up as much.

What about a sandbox mode
That you could use on console
So that I can enjoy free will without having a working PC

Like, isn't that already present in form of Endless mode? Has console version mods/mutators allowed at all (I guess no)?

It's not customizable, so no not really
I liked the sandbox mode in the original where you could set up your own game wave by wave, it'd be nice if that could become an offline option or a private gamemode, and hopefully NOT just for PC if at all
But idk, is it too much to ask, or does it ruin the feel of the normal game?
