Operation Gardening
- Thread starter smilin
- Start date
Right, most people have vented about the SS, FB and zerker issues. Suggested new monsters and perks, then get shot down by poeple who either heard it before, or think it is stupid, or dash hopes saying TW won't release any new content anytime soon
Yup. Personally, I haven't played more than an hour a week since Christmas. Most of my friends are the same way. Imbalanced classes have made everything go stale...

My friends either don't play very much to begin with or have played KF to death. I personally have played 20 hours at max since the new year. Of course some of that has to do with some insane college work load and volunteering, but...
I'll likely put in a lot of time into KF this summer (I have played KF retail and mod for the last three summers) but until then I am going to be sinking my teeth in some Bioshock 2.
my playing time has dropped a lot as well. not so much from class inbalance but because the game feels too easy. i'd like to see a new zed army and a new gametype particularly for clanplay to add some more challenge. i lasted an extra two years in RO just as a result of clanplay. pretty much the same maps, same content, same gameplay but the ability to challenge yourself against other real players is what keeps games going for years. an only co-op game just doesn't have that kind of staying power unless there is a lot of new content being consistantly released.
the operation gardening thread and "crack down" on forum abusers served it's purpose in dealing with troublemakers. the lack of posting activity is more due to people being bored.
I don't know what the deal is with this forum here, but the Steam forums constantly has activity from people all over. Over there, I think I have around 350 posts, but here, it's limited to about 100 or so because of the lack of activity and more commonly, interesting threads. I'm not saying that this forum is lousy or inferior in any way, but it just isn't as..."fun", if that makes any sense at all.
I think it's because forum members, and particularly the most active posters are people who play the game the most. If you play a game long enough, it'll get stale. It did for me. I mean the game itself still has a lot of players, but I think its mostly people who haven't spent like 300+ hours on the game i.e. people who are not forum members.
Anyway mw2 keeps me occupied these days. Its nice to play some pvp again but I constantly rage in game at how a game with SO much potential became a rather mediocre gaming experience with problems like OP weapons and shi**y matchmaking. The good thing about it that it has the biggest player base among fps games right now, so it at least makes for varied gameplay.

I've noticed the drop off myself and was considering posting a thread simliar to this one. As stated above, I think it's just that alot of the ideas were discussed and discussed again. I've posted several ideas/suggestions and for lack of a better term "I'm spent".
Whuzzat?
Wow, I lurk around for a few weeks and I fail to notice this.
Something about someone with his name starting with a G? I dare not say his name, because honestly, I don't plan on getting banned anytime soon.
Never, let's say that. I stick to the rules.
As for the Tactics, perhaps everything has already been said and edited for the last update? New update, new tactics?

It could be that there's just not that much to talk about. Some of us believe that we'll most likely only see one more update with additional content (or at least, for a long time), so suggesting things is pretty pointless unless it's just a small change that can be easily implemented. As for lack of activity in other areas, I'm not sure... perhaps the tactics forum has taken a hit as everyone knows the sharpshooter can do everything its self now?
However, the player count still seems pretty steady. It's still higher than it was before the last update, I think.

I was hoping Defense Alliance 2 would spice it up, but it's still incredibly buggy and as far as I know, none of the bugs have been fixed yet, leaving it in a near-unplayable state with only 1 or 2 barely-populated servers up, and the rest being empty or down.
Dest, what's going on with that?

the DA2 thing to me was just like what happened with MN's last update for RO. there was activity for a week then people moved on simply because they didn't care. at least KF still has potential to receive good updates and revive itself. literally hundreds of suggestions, most of which would greatly add to the game. by now just about every possible suggestion has been made. until some of them are implimented, not much to talk about. Problem is TW is probably really busy finishing up ROHOS to get it out before summer and that means less focus on KF. that said, where is the modding community? decent custom maps seem to still be coming out, but still really nothing redgarding gametypes, mods, new specimen, etc.... have come from the community, at least nothing good and polished enough to keep players attracted. perhaps if some modders got together to release a really polished mutator or gametype, we'd have something new to keep us busy.
Eh I'm still working through my backlog of games I got during xmas sales. Plus I have 2 level 6 perks now but I just don't have it in me to level up the rest. It takes to damn long to do it properly and grinding is no fun. So I can either play my level 6's and feel like I could be using the time better to level up other perks or play my lvl 3-4's but have less fun and have to play at lower difficulty.
Also I get the sense TWI are done with the game now, the team have moved onto other things. I seriously doubt any new content is coming and balance patches seem unlikely too. That's fine of course, a guys gotta earn a living and the KF cash cow has been pretty well milked dry now.
250+ hours out of a

there have been a lot of them released but they don't blend in with the game very well because of whitelist and server browser and what not. Not enough player support (likely because they don't directly come with the game). If TWI would bundle a few mods in official patches and have a separate selection area from the main menu but truth is many players don't play it because they never find out about it or care to try it out. They take time to download and are lots of very slight annoyances.
