Small Update Just Released

God I hope that most of the whiners are across the pond somewhere and not here in the United States, but alas I'm afraid most of these guys are from here. No wonder we're sliding so damn fast to the bottom. Guys, get a grip. TWI has and will do tremendous things. Go outside and get a breath of fresh air. Do some pushups. Go look at porn sites. I dunno, do something and give the guys a break. What about the people that couldn't play for the past couple of days because of the issue they're trying to patch? Don't they deserve some love from TWI also?

Come on guys give us a break. This will be fixed in the amount of time it takes to you type your rage posts, and the game will only be down for a few minutes, for a small percentage of the userbase.

We didn't "roll the patch out carelessly", we tested it and it worked on every computer in our QA department. Regardless, it's being rolled back and everything will be fine while we troubleshoot why it doesn't work for everyone.

Just to keep things in perspective, in 3 years you will be looking back at this and realistically remembering how many issues came up with the release, but the end users will be looking back and posting in some other games forum: "I've been playing RO2 since launch and that game launched flawlessly, unlike this bug ridden crap."

Because people are idiots, mostly.

You all are acting like you have never seen a dev release a bad update that causes some new issues?

Relax.. im sure they are already working on fixing it.

Yeah I remember when Shogun Total War 2 wasn't displaying clan page info and was crashing alot. Then they patched two days later without breaking the other portions of the game.

Plus while it was buggy, the games leveling system for your army never broke, so it was all still playable.

With the Red Orchestra's leveling sytem I feel like I shouldn't even bother playing. The games still fun but im not making even a dent towards any level 25 unlock. Because every match im getting reset to no xp.

So yeah I've played other buggy releases and awaited patches. But I've never been in a situation where I don't want to play a game I like because it feels like waisting time.

Edit: It'd be like if COD, Rainbow Six, or any other game with the same mechanic had the issue on launch. It would go down as the biggest failure in gaming since fail. But since its a small team that started from grass roots and never expanded its workforce with obvious sources of revenue from Killing Floor, we should just be patient and wait it out? Honestly once this game works, mods come out, and maps get made this game will be awesome. But that depends if there will be anyone left to play.

Because those games are consolised, which means that they have to push release dates back exhaustively until the game is completely bug-free so that they can release it on consoles which rarely ever get patches. Basically you just wait longer and pay more for a game and get it bug-free at launch; as opposed to getting a game sooner, and for less money, at the expense of having to put up with bugs for a few months. Honestly, deal with it. You will get the same experience you got with the above games if you wait for 3 months after launch. Just pretend that the game's release date is 3 months from the actual date, or something.

Alternatively, play the game and have fun while it improves.

Fixed

Fixed

Well it is fixed now at least for me but that did not really concern me as I still think it is a great game and I give you guys a break in that regard.
My main concern is the number of Mkb's (even after changed to Assault only) which seriously changes ganeplay in my opinion. Some people might like this (the ones who have one) others not so much.
So why can't it be an option to limit further? Many of us seem to prefer a bolt action dominated game to the Rambo style.

Did you ever play Team Fortress 2?

Remember when they were doing those class updates, giving each class a bunch of new weapons and achievements, one at a time?

Remember when Scout got updated, and every server was full of Scouts hitting completely overpowered baseballs all over the place to the point where you couldn't even play the game unless you wanted to play a Scout for about a week?

That's all that's happening with the MKB right now. Scout Syndrome. It's everyone's first chance to get to play with something cool and new, so everyone is doing it. A few days from now everyone will realise that the MP40 is a much better suited to close-quarters, which is the point of the Assault class, and will switch back to it, with MKB only filling special roles as it's intended.

So many people exclaiming they want a refund and TWI is incompetent... Remember a time before Steam where you couldn't get a patch unless you went and searched and downloaded it, installed it... Then what if it didn't work? No rolling back, you had to reinstall all over again, and the Developers couldn't just take it back, so they had to work on a new patch which could take a couple days just so they're sure

You should be so lucky that TWI has rolled out several build updates during beta and two patches, then rolled back when one patch wasn't working properly within 4 days. And you want a refund because you can't play for all of 20 minutes

Jesus on a stick, man

Yeah the game isn't, performance wise, up to par as it should be. But I *Think* TWI is going to work on it, but that's just speculation, I mean they do have so many other projects they're working on that RO2 will probably not get another patch, right

I only played TF2 a little to be honest so don't know about this and I hope you are right but I feel concerned as I felt very dominant with the MkB as it is more powerful plus the new penetration system which allowed me several kills by just emtying a mag into a wall. It felt so powerful and on FallenFighters in TE few of us dominated the battlefield.
I am not saying the weapon should be downscaled but made rare as initially intended. In my opinion the MkB is better even in close up fights as it is more deadly and more likely to kill with one shot.
I am just stating my concerns on this but hope that you are right and the madness will stop soon.
