Make the "Patriarch Wave" more obvious - I miss it

if you've missed the trader saying "last round..." then you could bring up the console and check her last line that she said. that's how i check if its the last round or not.

That's a good idea, I didn't think of that.

I love how someone makes a valid suggestion to improve the game and gets shot down by other people for being "stupid" etc... what a great community

It's little things like this that add polish to the game and make it better over all, nothing to do with spoon feeding. I'm pretty sure games have been showing "BOSS LEVEL" on screen since 1975

I hate to break it to you, but there's no such thing as a concept that is loved by everyone. There is no such thing as a unanimous decision on the internet.

Ideas posted here are judged by the MAJORITY of yes or no opinions. Even if there was a great idea that everyone loved, someone would just not like it for the sake of hating what everyone loves.

There is a huge difference between posting your opinion and just trying to put someones idea down for the sake of it and calling them "stupid" because they haven't figured something out.

If you think that it's a bad idea because it will make the game worse then fine, but none of the negative posts here are like that. It has nothing to do with everyone agreeing either, just the attitude of some people borders on blind fanboyism.

Anyhow I think this is a relatively simple improvement for the devs to make, which will also be more user friendly to newcomers. They could simply add a Next Wave: part on the HUD that shows at the end of each round in the corner. So at the end of round 2 it shows Next Wave: 3, at the end of round 4 it shows Next Wave: Boss etc.

true that. the internet has no room for fanboyism.

perhaps make this a feature that you can turn on and off like the red trader pixies that I can never seem to catch no matter how fast i run.

I missed it for a few times, so I've got a good idea to indicate it. In-wave indicator is the number of wave (i.e. 6/10) and the number of the remaining specimen(i.e. 50), then why the in-between-wave indicator is just the remain time? Replace the remain number by the remain second, and the number of wave by the number of the next wave. That's perfect

Well...this is an odd topic for me lol. Most of the time that im playing kf, im listening to slightly...ear-drum-destroying music. yet i never miss the traders warnings. its simply called paying attention. i dont think tripwire should make the effort to change the notification system of when the boss is about to gib everyone, theres more important things at hand.
