[Yoshiro]

General

• Halloween Zeds have returned home
• Removed Map Whitelist

Balance

• Scythe
  • Reduced primary fire speed
  • Reduced secondary fire damage
  • Secondary fire now behaves the same as the Claymore
• Buzzsaw Bow
  • Increased the cost of the blades by 4x

Bugs

• Thompson will now count towards Commando stats

Hooray, hopefully people will stop screaming op now. though I'm sure they'll find a way to anyway.

Thanks again for bringing back Halloween! Spectacular job on the original idea for this years event.

Now I kind of regret buying the weapon DLC with these nerfs. People paid money for this.

 

[Raccoon99]

OH GOD. I haven't updated yet but HERE IS HOPING THAT THE BUZZSAW BOW'S AMNO ISN'T AS HIGH AS M99.

If the only appeal you had regarding the DLC prior to the update was the OP nature of the zerker weapons that's pretty sad to begin with...

An attempt to balance/nerf them had to be expected - no regrets on buying it. I still enjoy my couple additional toys.

Thanks again for the Halloween Event(s) TW.

Ohh no. Need to rewrite all melee weapons code...

If you're talking about the scythe, it's still better than the claymore.

If you're talking about the buzzsaw bow, the price is actually good now.

Edited (tried it ingame with the show damage mutator.)

• Removed Map Whitelist

I like this change, but what are you going to do if like 90% of servers start running leveling maps? Just leave it? I'm not bothered if so, just interested.

Help please?

Help please?

Even though I did the right achievments I didnt unlock the grim reaper...

Confirmed that using kf-testmap6p-Firingrangev2 works for perk progression. They did indeed entirely removed the whitelist.

Glad they removed a whitelist restriction on maps. I'm all for it since people half-assing their perks is their own loss. Level 6 isn't everything and they will soon find that out when they go to hard.

 

[Yoshiro]

We are working with the theory that if people want to grind their perks instead of playing the game to have fun, that is on them.

 

[Keymonk]

Good on you lot for removing the whitelist! Letting people play how they want is a good thing, as long as it doesn't ruin it for anyone else.

TWI finally mastering the art of win!

Many :IS2:'s TWI! You have made this a happy one!

 

[becoming-insane]

Thanks!

I was hoping for the fix for linux servers (the issue with invisible walls), any comments on that?

 

[Islidox]

The problem is that it makes it harder for people to recognize their worth if everyone keeps powerleveling... not sure if I agree with that philosophy.

But yes, finally some balancing changes! Scythe was utterly the most OP thing in the DLC pack, with the BuzzsawBow coming in a close second.
