I have read quite a few posts complaining about the mediocrazy of events.

If one does not include maps, there really are not much new content that can be added anyway in terms of weapons or perks that would not already infringe on the current existing categories.

A new gamemode or a new zed would be the most viable item to add...i guess?

A new gamemode probably would be too complicated, costly and timewasting and thus perhaps not a good idea?

A new zed? With new abilities? What would a new ability be then, that would not infringe on the already existing abilities amongst the rest of the zeds? Flying? Not want, would be unrealistic and not in par with the game

I know what I want - NEW WEAPONS! I am fine with the maps because there are tons of custom maps and the specimens are fine right now, but I am sick of the current weapons. First of all I dont like the whole selection at all and then I played for so long with these weapons that I am tired of them.

Yes,new weapons would be fun.

But......new weapons could not surpass existing ones in terms of power or there would be balanceissues......and the current arsenal encompasses all firearms already. No point in having 500 weapons that are about the same in terms of power.

So, what would a new weapon be then? The only missing weapon to the already existing arsenal would be a blunt weapon. Not interested. Hmmm, ok, maybe a pair of brass knuckles for berserk

The truth is there really isn't much room to add any more vanilla content. There comes a point where additional content goes from being useful to being novel, and another from there to being bloatware; I feel that any new vanilla content would be straddling the boundary between the latter two states, because, quite simply, the game already has all the content it needs.

Custom content is another matter. As one of the developers supporting a custom content server, obviously I feel that it has its place - but to be quite honest, I'm glad that most of it is not in the vanilla game. It's fun and all, but custom content overload completely changes the feel of the game, and I'm quite content to keep the two experiences separate.

Well, if custom maps suit your need for new maps, surely the servers with custom guns should be enough.

New achievements, but something that needs time to make. Imo thx to new achieves more people would com back to game for longer time.

But it cant be something like "kill 20 crawlers with katana" it should be counted in hundreds with big ZEDs and thousands with small ones .

Addubg achieves like that owuld make more people play KF on dayly basis for long time.

we got those for killing 100, 1000 and 10000 zeds, why not add 100000 and 1000000 ? why dont ad achieves like "kill patriarch from every tier 2 and 3 weapons" ? there are lots of ideas to make KF live longer for many of players. New weapons will be boring fast, new maps are always good, new perk would be super cool, but achievements are diffrent story, for many KF players, achievements are something what push them to play game.
