Killing Floor updates?
- Thread starter Voltali
- Start date
this seems to get asked weekly I think. I'd just stop askng so they can focus on the work and not have to be annoyed. the more people ask the longer they're going to take.
theyre all at their computers working, "can you believe this, another thread asking about the next update, i cant handle this, i cant, i just cant, not today dammit, not today!"
I have nothing but good things to say about TWI. They produced a great game and as of right now I have played KF for 366.7 hrs. Great times. I don't mind waiting for updates/patches whatever.
With that said though, I don't think its too much to ask for a hint as to what is going on. Personally, I think the last sentence of the Operation Gardening post should have said something about the status of the latest content. Even if it was just hey guys we are working hard and its going to be a while.
Being honest bob don't you think if they have time to post about trolls they have time to mention the status of the game?
difference is they MADE time to post about the trolls after being nagged about it with pms and "reported posts". if you keep getting you pm box filled with notifications that there was trouble in the forums, that's a much easier fix to respond too. they're not going to give out anymore info about the next update until it's ready to go. remember the last time they hyped up an update that didn't come for almost a month? every other day there was a new thread asking when it was coming.......just like now. one post by Yoshi gets a new thread each week asking when the next update is.
they will be back!
they will be back!
I sure hope so. My worries are that they shifted all of their team to the new RO game.difference is they MADE time to post about the trolls after being nagged about it with pms and "reported posts". if you keep getting you pm box filled with notifications that there was trouble in the forums, that's a much easier fix to respond too. they're not going to give out anymore info about the next update until it's ready to go. remember the last time they hyped up an update that didn't come for almost a month? every other day there was a new thread asking when it was coming.......just like now. one post by Yoshi gets a new thread each week asking when the next update is.

Whatever they are doing for KF, it must be big.
Reduce m14 ammo and create or modify firebug weaponry. The latter takes time ^_^
Seriously though, I will be really sad if firebug doesnt get at least something in the next update....

How TWI sees us...
How TWI sees us...
TWI is probably veiwing this thread, and saying to themselves "man, these KF people just can't be left alone for five seconds!" I mean, they are a moderatley sized company with a couple of well-buying games, and yet, just left alone for 2 months, they see the KF population speculating.
They probably see us as a horde of angry fans, nipping at their heels, screeching "UPDATE!" These bloodthristy fans will chase you to the end of the earth still squaking "update". These savage fans have a short temperment and are highly territorial and impatient. These dangerous fans should be treated with intense care, as they tend to grow violent at such things as intruding zombie games and longer-than-usual updates. "What horrible breeds of fans we have created?!" they say and sigh, and set to work upon an update. They know that this menace they have unleashed will haunt them until they are dead, following them wherever they go until the staff is simply a pile of bones, surrounded by howling KF fans, raging for more blood, and preparing the destruction of Valve.......
Are we the way we see ourselves, or is this correct?
Heres how to get the answer: answer these questions:
Would you kill someone in order to keep KF alive and running?
Do you think Valve is in fact run by a patriarch crossed with a L4D tank?
Do you have the urge to howl at the full moon?
Have you devoured any offspring latley?
Do you eat your meat raw?
If you answered more than 1 question as yes, then you are in fact a rabid KF fan as described above.

^^ Great Post Timur ^^
As many peeps have said, 2 months is hardly a long time to wait for an update, and there are many reasons why the update many take a while:
1. Delay for holiday
2. Red Orchestra HoS - this one HAS to get out the door, and TWI are a small team.
3. An elusive bug to fix (load-hang). TWI would not like to release an update without a confirmed fix for this.
4. New content takes time to assemble, test, debug, retest....
5. Mutators to test and whitelist.
6. Too many posts on the forums to read, all asking about the update..
A more usefull and fun topic would be practical speculation about the content of said update, but one that stayed on topic and didn't degenerate into a completely unfounded TWI and RO bashing like the last one...

In all honesty I see no problems with the forums at all and I read them at least a few times a day. Perhaps I'm more thick skinned than most though. I've always lived by the motto if you don't know who the a$$holes are on forums after 2 weeks, then its probably you. With that said I ignore the posts from those people.
Again, I wasn't asking for something concrete just something to let us know that KF wasn't put on the back burner due to the new RO game.
Asking about updates itself is not a bad thing but if we have a company that actually updates the game (and adds more content) somewhat regularly and not once in a blue moon, it always goes to the point if something doesn't happen for a week or few people are speculating if they've dropped the support, not going to fix anything and bla bla bla.
It's actually somewhat similiar with some online stores - the moment their website goes down due technical errors for few hours people are already wondering if it went bankrupt, speculating about foul play etc etc.

i once played with an american kid, who told me i sounded just like arnie. i then quoted arnie throughout the game and this kid couldnt stop laughing...
