    Fixed Online Only - Husk Fireballs are Visually Blocked By Rag Dolls While Projectile Continues to Invisibly Hit Player
    Thank you TW. This was annoying when we could've sworn the Husk shot was blocked.

    Fixed Eviscerator : Players unable to stop reload with block, parry, or chainsaw.
    This got me killed by Hans quite a few times because I couldn't parry due to reloading.

    Making normal even more easier..... at this point you could have just made zeds static.
    (not that i solely play normal, i sometimes pop in into a game of normal to just run around as a commando with knife dmg increase skill for sheets and giggles :D)

    I was really surprised to see them touch Normal or Hard but I guess they had to in order to maintain the difficulty gaps consistently through all 4 options? Without playing the update I'm hoping SUI is pretty much perfect at this point and I may even like HOE now.

    Normal is now Easy. Hard is now Normal. Suicidal is now Hard. HOE is now Suicidal. Those are just guesses though. If I'm right.. the people who felt HOE was too easy are going to be going on a rant.

    I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing if my guesses are relatively close. The update looks great, overall. :cool:

    Ummm. So I'm still downloading this so I haven't played it yet, but what's with the difficulty changes, particularly to normal? Why not just make a new difficulty and call it easy? Because Normal now looks so easy that I can't even imagine a toddler losing at it. That aside, this update looks pretty sick. Very much looking forward to trying out the new weapons.

    Okay, so here's a (quick) review of what I think so far! Those are some random thoughts :

    1)I really don't know what to think of the hemogoblin at the moment... I suppose it's kind of a new-born Z.E.D. gun since it slows and weakens enemies? The idea is not bad, but it would have fitted the survivalist better in my opinion. Either that,or as an off-perk gun. The medic is already quite good at crowd control with his poison damage, so the extra bleeding effect is of little use (even when both stacks, the damage is still really weak). It just proves that the medic needs a WHOLE OVERHAUL, and not the addition of a gun and minor tweaks on his AR. I really hope it will happen next update... Because so far, you've only dug the perk's grave even deeper.

    2)The new map is okay-ish but compared to the previous event, it's very lackluster... I can't tell exactly why,but it feels very odd. I suppose it's done on purpose,but I simply feel like it doesn't bring something truly worthwhile or memorable. But it does its job.

    3)The King Fleshpound is back for more! However, I found his fight really REALLY easy for some reason? Now it's true that I was playing the demolitions (FPs' bane basically) , but it barely touched me. And when it did : very few damages. Maybe it's due to the fact you made solo play far easier (why tho?) , but I honestly felt the fight was underwhelming. Yet, I still really like the boss for some reasons. Glad we got more cannon fodder (including the poundlings, I was surprised to see four of them spawning at once)

    4)The Seeker Six is certainly worthy of his new Tier-4 status. What it lacks in raw power, it certainly get back in versatility : it's basically his new best PDW. With decent damage, accuracy, six individual rockets in its mag and the ability not only to lock-on target but to MULTILOCK... It's not only useful, but very fun and enjoyable to use. I would have argued that it was maaaaybe a bit too powerful, but seeing how I had a hard time to kill big zeds, I'd say the weapon is fairly balanced and fits the perk nicely.

    5)I cannot tell as of yet if the Vault system will be worthwhile, but I don't see why it wouldn't! I got my first box and it contained a pretty slick skin for my AA12. I do hope every items are just as good, because tiers are fairly high (even though you can get as much as 150 000 bucks a day )

    6)The daily objectives are a welcomed addition. They may not be very creative, but they do force you to spice things up a bit and be rewarded for doing so. I do hope we'll get more "crazy" ideas later, like using a specific loadout or not spending dosh until the fourth wave... Things like that.

    Awesome addition (and its free - appreciated!).
    I especially love seeker six.
    Tho i dont really like the vault system so far - limited amount of daily quests with limited conditions? I dunno...
    Personaly, i would prefer 2 main ways how to get dosh:
    1) Trough geting experience points with level 25 perks (this could work as infamy/legendary system we all know from other games)
    2) Trough challenges/achievement. KF1 has interesting list of achievements and i am sure we could come with hundreds of challenges (from "kill 10/50/100/500 Scrakes" over "Kill 10 zeds with one RPG shot" to curiosities like "heal 5000 hp with perk other than medic" that could reward players with dosh without forcing them to play specific game mod with specific perk, using specific weapons against specific enemies. Yeah, challenges would still require specific conditions, but considering the ideal amount (hundreds or thousands... dunno how hard is to program these... not much i guess, since similar stuff was f.e. in Borderlands 2 - (known as badass points), you would feel limited after hundreds of hours of playing.

    Can you one day provide a FULL changelog, seriously this is annoying when we have to investigate to see if you fixed this or that. Once again some things are fixed, but not in changelog.. That's great to fix things, but not having them in changelog is really bad because first people see less work done for the update ("you lazzy devs!!" ;)) and also people who avoid the game because of this or that will not install the game again to see if you eventually fixed something..

    Please, some efforts, complete changelog for now.

    I hope the changelogs you provide to us does not reflect the internal communication and organization within the company :\ I'm sometimes wondering 'but do they know that this is fixed?'
