Only got a few min of gameplay since it finished updating pretty late for me. but the new TWI logo looks more like brand for mountain climbing products now.

Loving the new class and maps. For some reason, I kept crashing on the Farmhouse map. Keep in mind that this was the first time the game crashed for me, happened three times in a row when I played on that map, always during the last wave. I then joined a game late in progress and the crash didn't occur.

We are working on the farmhouse crash along with several of the bugs that have cropped up and have been reported by the community.

Ha oh my gosh. The Deagle and 500 are hilariously strong. I love shooting lil zeds com with it and watching them fly back like they've been hit by a super-sonic bowling ball.

I have to admit, I was cracking up last night too.

It's a nice addition to the perk mix - I didn't expect to enjoy it this much.

Too bad I only had like 10 minutes to try it out and didn't have a chance to see Mr. Patty back in all his glory.

Here's hoping to fix that tonight... :D:D:D

Yes even though it may be unrealistic but it is incredibly satisfying to Hollywood a zed into another zip code. :D

I really like the new logo and update! The 1911 and 9mm sounds are a bit bassy though.

Some new feedback since I've played more!

-Really loving the Evil Dead-esque vibe of Farmhouse ,it's great and it makes for a more "tight survival" type of map . I like it (even if I'm willing to bet it can quickly become a f*ckfest with 6 players!)

-Both bosses intros are amazing,it adds even more "personnality" and "fear factor" into them . I was bothered that the addition of the Patriarch might have tarnished the dreadful Volter but nope... Still a scary motherf*cker.

-The characters seems to be a lot more talkative now...Maybe it's just an impression? But I really got the feeling that both Ana and Oisten talked quite a lot on three different maps. Which is a very good thing ! It adds more depth to their personnality and makes me like them even more! (Ana seems to have had either a bad past or is quite sensitive behind her "tough girl" look... I'd love to see her character expanded)

EDIT: Blackforest is awesome, certainly one of your best map. There's so many awesome ideas put in there! And as I hoped,it has some Wyre elements in it , which is great.

(The immature person inside me also find it quite funny when the Patriarch is healing himself and make some kind of orgasm noises )

It s good to see a "previous weapon" option, but if you heal another player... it will swich back to the healer and not to the previous weapon. Worth, when you are on healer and press this button, you swich to knife. Needs a patch.

I thought you guys were going to add the new Fleshpound sounds in the update. What happened with that?

Damn, they COMPLETELY broke controller support in the last update. Took away the ability to quick heal, and now if you accidentally hit the voice comms button, you have to exit the game to get rid of the pop up. Auto-aim also keeps coming back on, only way to disable it is to go and modify the ini files and set to read only. Same with controller deadzone, the biggest issue of them all.

EDIT: Anyone using a controller, I have released a temporary hot fix for the issue.

Thank you for the new update! A friend and I played a couple of hours and we really like the new maps and the Gunslinger perk. Much fun. However there's some negative development in our opinions which is:

- Extremely little ammo and weapon drops
- Little amount of money you totally earn

=therefore T3 guns are only available at the very end of the game. E.g. when I play support I need to play with the Boomstick until I can finally buy the AA12 which is incredible expensive. Ammo is very expensive as well. I felt when EA was initially released it was much easier to get to the good guns which increased the fun factor for us. Higher difficulty is not always more fun :eek:

- Weapons sounds, especially of the 9mm, sound weird. Like recorded in a box or something

"recorded in a box" lmao

The Patriarch is so weak compared to in KF1. His attacks don't do that much damage and overall he's easier to beat than Hans. Kevin should not be weaker than Hans. He does not seem upgraded at all, more like downgraded.

In KF1 the Patriarch could kill you really fast if you're not careful even on normal difficulty.

Don't know man... Even in normal his minigun chew through your life and armor very quickly and he's very hard to catch when he flees to heal himself (which wasn't the case in KF1). I also have troubles to find his weak point (his glowing arm?). His melee is also stronger than it appears,at least to me.

Maybe he seems weaker than Hans because he's actually fair? Hans is still bloody annoying to fight...

In comparision to Hans the Pati is real fun to play against. Less kitting, and outrunning. I feel Hans needs some workarround. The same classes won against the Patty with a fair fight and Hans is just reckless and OP as ****. Wiped us all out in Phase 3. Hans feels so cheap in comparision to the Pati he just deals a lot more damage and doesn't provide more counter messures beside running arround like chickens and shoot 3 bullets. I wish Hans was more intuitive to fight against.

Yeah the sounds are definitely off, I noticed this mainly with the Trader though when they did that sound overhaul thing. The trader's voice sounds like it's coming through a mono speaker or something, hard to describe but it doesn't sound right imo.
