Please read before posting/voting!
A couple of my buddies and I were playing KF earlier today, and our vent conversation brought up an expansion pack. I thought I would make this thread just to see how the community would take such an idea not just to answer my own question, perhaps maybe answer the Tripwire Interactive's as well (assuming the thought had occurred to them.)
Please assume the following:
1. The expansion would NOT interfere with any DLC the devs are currently working on. ie, any DLC they are currently working on would be released as normal for KF and not "planned for the expansion all along" (Gives Valve a dirty look).
2. The expansion is priced reasonably. ie $10-$20 USD. This is close to the price point of the original game, so it would need to contain a fair amount of content. New maps, weapons, perks and/or perk levels, character models, Specimen textures, and gameplay elements. ie, a weapon attachment system, new grenade types, new Specimens, new final boss, different gameplay mode etc etc.
3. The pack has some way of not splitting the community. This was a primary fear with Left 4 Dead 2, that half the players would move over, and half would not. I think this is a non-issue with KF because many people that play KF, do so fairly religiously. $15, I believe (compared to the $45-$50 for L4D2 at launch) would not turn off most people.
4. This is assuming TWI fixes important bugs with Killing Floor. Please do not vote "No" just because of an annoying bug. Assume it will be fixed in the next patch/patches. (I know, I know, I ask for a lot)
Anyways, just an idea. I know some people would be infuriated by the idea of an expansion, especially when there is more free DLC coming out, but this is just looking ahead towards the future. And obviously, since no-one knows what TWI is planning, this might not even be a good idea depending on what the next DLC pack is.
GRRR! Forum won't let me post a poll, says I waited too long. Here are the options:
Yes, I would be all for a fairly inexpensive KF Expansion
Yes, but I have some reservations about paying another $10-$20 (Should be cheaper)
Yes, but I am worried it would split the community
Yes, other. (Please post why)
No, just be happy with whatever free DLC TWI comes out with
No, I would not give TWI any more money for KF
No, it would split the community
No, other. (Please post why)
If a moderator could add this.. I would really appreciate it...
