You're the voice of the community now?

And you don't understand that phrase "I think" implies a subjective opinion or an estimation?

I think the neon stuff is pretty lame - it can't have taken much effort, costs more than it's worth, and seems to be the final middle finger to those who complain about the original muh gritty horror style taking away from.

Not sure why another AK. I think majority would rather see neon FAL or neon MKb42 or something.

Was going to agree with you until I noticed you're one of those Berserker haters >~>


Anyway I liked the pack. I couldn't resist how glowy they looked @.@
However I do believe they could've done much better. Maybe add some scratches to the edges of the neon light strips to make the guns look worn and used?
Also when I aim the sights of the AK, the red strip on the top doesn't even line up. Fail. Would've been nice though, instead of the AK, to see a different glowy weapon like the Claymore or perhaps M99 or LAW.

A glowy Claymore would look like a lightsaber :D

On the Internet.
Good thing the almighty Estimator is out there, making baseless assumptions for no real reason about us.
Come on, you're not even trying to disguise the fact you're baiting people into a flame war.

I like them, but the 8 EUR price in EU2 region is destroying them because not many of my friends bought it (5 of my 89 kf friends bought it so far). It's up to them how they price their content/games, but too high prices might make DLCs less popular. Even though I love kf, I really won't get it for 8 EUR. I really want to know how many people from EU2 region bought it. I think it's not selling as good as golden things but not because people wouldnt like it, but because of price. That's just my opinion.

Those skins don't fit KF. On the other hand, KF changed so much that you can say anything fits - just like in the dumpster. Broken TVs, rotten food, bags of garbage, old clothes and used condoms.

Can't they make this stuff optional - I could click HIDE CUSTOM CONTENT/DLCs right away. I don't want to see chickens, robots or Reggies in this game. When I saw a friend with Neon skins on both character and weapons I though "WTF is this? Why in this game? What am I playing - KF or some crazy mod? Hold on... I bough Zed apocalypse, not some shiny ... something. Why is there a guy lit like a bulb running in the woods with a weapon glowing madly?".

Can I turn it off, please. It kills my experience every time I see it.

Yeah, I've joined the ranks of those waiting for a price cut.

The biggest blocking point I keep returning to is lack of a way to justify 8 dollars. To be fair this is partly due to the fact they chose to reskin the AK (again) and that of the other 3 weapons I only really use the HSG.

I would have loved to seen a zerker weapon chosen - imagine a pulsating claymore? Lol.

Compromised and ultimately decided to buy the pack that was on sale; the camo weapons.

Good lord.. they looked much nicer in the screenshots. :~P

Lol.

I think they're lazy, and an obvious grab for money.

On top of all that, it's yet another set of useless weapons clogging up my trader screen. And god forbid I accidentally click on one of them, instantly opening the steam overlay and getting me killed because I was unable to buy a HSG-1 in the 5 seconds I had left.

Half of these could be done by a decently skilled texture artist and a modder anyway, the only caveat being that other players can't see them. Who cares?

All they should do is remove DLC weapons from trader for those who don't have them.
