Did the zerker community give up?

[Moratinur]

4 Days ago I started playing again, I joined a server and waited for the wave to end. I thought to myself "now surely they fixed the chainsaw after that stupid nerf"..............and wow...................I cried.
IF (and to be honest, that is a rare thing to see on hard+ servers) I see a high level Berserker join then as soon as he spawn he switches to the knife and goes on a pwning rampage and later he sells the chainsaw for the Katana.............is that really how you intended it TWI?

Now I know 14132 people will jump into this thread and tell me how useful the chainsaw is......but it just isn't. There is no reason to wield the chainsaw except if you really like it and you are a nutcass. It is much more dangerous to use, you are slower, gorefasts hit you even when you hit them first and decapped clots keep attacking you.
Yes sure you got the second attack.....again you could just use the katana.....

I love this game, but TWI let the ball drop with 2 of the most fun perks. Except that the firebug is actually useful in tight situations with many smaller ZEDs.

I remember the complains from the support and sharpshooters "ROFL LULZ ZERKAS JUST STAND IN THE CORNER AND KILL EVERYTHING ROFL LULZ"..........that was never true even before the husk was introduced. The Zerker is one of the hardest perks to use and you do rely on others, and with "rely" I don't mean killing the ZED I stormed towards while ignoring the gorefast behind me that just came out of a corner........and healing is nice kkthxbb.

Now sharpshooters.......tell me please..........why don't you make threads now and whine how OP your beloved perk is?
Sharpshooters are gods in every situation, smaller zeds and bigger zeds are no problem whatsoever. You guys can actually stand around and pwn the shizzle out of everything.

Oh yea and the whining about us........"we hate you because you stand in our way".......oh man I am soooooooooooo sorry that you can't just kill every zed on your own.........really I am sorry. Yes you told us/me that we are support for bigger zeds and should STFU and stand around till they arrive so you can have fun blasting the **** out of everything..................................................crossbow.............................................

It is really sad that most games consist of 3 sharpshooters and the rest is commando and support.


Again, I love this game and I will always play the Zerker if I feel for it. I also don't want to nerf SS, comando and support I just want back my good ol chainsaw.

RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE

Hopefully there will be some fixes coming in the near future. Until then calm down. All these things have already been brought to the attention of TWI. Raging does nothing.

Well yes, but the title is the most important part. It seems that no one cares anymore, and the anti Berserker movement was pretty strong back in the day and clearly they got what they wanted, chainsaw and katana nerf and the husk.

So it seems those who scream the loudest get what they want.

Oh yea and some people want the crawlers and stalkers buffed........clearly they never played a zerker on suicidal.

by no means has the zerk community "given up". there are numerous threads devoted to the zerker and his weapons. i think a lack of recent "zerk threads" is simply because it has been discussed quite a bit. alot of ideas have been thown out there(more than once), so i think every thing has already been talked about enough.

that said, alot of people feel the same way about the chainsaw, and TWI knows it.

Exactly, another reason why community might have been more quiet recently is because everyones awaiting for the upcoming update, which was promised to fix many balance issues.

So, we can just hope they do something about the chainsaw for the next update, along with many other weapons like machete which is the most useless weapon in the game and NOBODY EVER uses it unless they are newbies and havent yet realized how its a waste of money.

lol, i can solo hard with the machete......except the fleshpound, havnt even dared to try. Its actually quite a good weapon, but the katana is still 5 times better and only like 150 pound more.

I kinda like how the berserker is now, its the perk i go to when i want to add more fun in my game as it requires alot more skill to use compared to the others. And iv found it one of the most useful in suicidal.

I always use mah chainsaw the first wave. If you are a zerker, with armor and a saw - And you die on the first wave ... Well then you just plain fail.

True but the topic wasn't about Zerkers that fail
And may I ask why you use the chainsaw in the first wave? Because in my opinion the knife is much better in the starter wave.

Oh there is a (balance) patch planned? That is indeed good news, I just hope it wont be tied to a new free weekend *shudder*
I like TWI and what they have done with RO and KF so I obviously enjoy their games and respect them for being one of the last developers that make great PC games and are supporting the community. So I trust that they know what is wrong.

I actually like the machete even tho as a lvl 5 I just buy the Katana after the first wave. In my opinion lvl 0-6 Zerkers should spawn with the machete.

No one cares about anything anymore. The game is circling the drain and TWI refuses to release new content or even comment on it.

My advice to you would be to find a new game and check back around October.

I am not sure if I agree with that because:

A. It is still a fun game to play casually
B. Many people still play it
C. We got lots of new content
D. We got what was promised for 14 bucks, and when I look at how much I played KF and then look how much I played some 50$ titles (not talking about awesome games like Mass Effect).......

Now D. isn't really a common thing these days. Look at L4D.........HAHAAHHA........"we got so many things planned and we will add lots of super content"..........yea that worked out well. If you wanted the new content you had to buy a new game for 50$. And they kept saying the L4D would still be supported and blah blah blah. I found the boycott stupid, but I still think valve screwed the community over. But a "each year a game sequel" is common these days.


But it is true, TWI is not really known for releasing news regularly, which is a "problem" with many game studios. They usually release info if the content is almost finished and close to release. I think they do it with good reason, because nothing is worse for them than telling their gamers that something will be changed to awesomesauce and then it turns out they couldn't implement it or it is not really awesome because they had to change it.

The problem with TWI is that they are a really small team, they have 2 released games that they want/need to support and then they have their biggest game in the works which will determine the companies future.

That being said tho, I don't get why they didn't just change back the chainsaw. Let us hope that their idea of a big balance patch will be worth it.

 

[omarfw]

when the knife can kill a clot faster then the chainsaw, something is wrong.

herborist, stop talking about things like you know what's going on.

That doesnt mean the weapon is good. I have done normal/long with knife only, even for fleshpounds (killed patty with katana tho). There is absolutely no reason to pick machete because knife is around as good due decap ability, and katana is - like you said - 5 times better. Not to mention they are both 3 blocks which makes no sense, machete should be 1 block.

Oh there is a (balance) patch planned?

Yes, theres even an official post about it, called "Balance and other things" by Yoshiro.

From what Ive heard, its going to be rather massive update too. Balance fixes along with some new content. I hope that this new content wont create more balance issues tho, lols.

Oh ok, gonna check that out. Thanks.

I am grateful for any new content to be honest but balancing should be the priority.

14 bucks to anyone who finally shuts this guy up

And yeah just wait for TWI to update...they still update more and faster than any other company <.<

Well thats easy. Same reason I voluntarily chose the hardest spawn points to rambo when i'm bored. If you never die the game gets boring, and I really like this game. So I like to gimp myself and keep it interesting.

There are too many games I never died in, and now I don't play any of them. Some of those I put a fair share of cash into to, but I just don't really feel like going back. Sure i'd be rusty for a day or two, but then right back to mad k/ds.

Ok, I respect that a lot imo. You got some zerkojones

But personally I don't have to worry about not dying, so gimping myself even further wouldn't be a good idea

Omar, stop talking about things like you don't know what's going on.

As for berserker, once a husk takes out your armor (only a few shots on suicidal) then you rely on a medic to heal the damage you WILL be taking from crawlers/sirens.

They should upgrade the zerker to God of War status. Blades of Exile ftw. Epic slashes that take out wide areas, approximately the radius of the tunnel in West London.
If not that, then throwing knives please.

 

[YFGHNG]

Dual wield katanas? Or lightsabers? They are an advanced organization specialized in killing advanced zombies after all.

I think this is realistic
