Another bunch of noobs will buy a game, join HoE server, get wiped and delete the game ;)
But anyway, big thanks to those players for financial support the game, so we can continue to get updates for free :p

I also wish TWI to look the Scary's Community Beta Mutator and add that balance job to the main game. Reskinning is fine, but shouldn't forget about fixing things.

I think the Summer Sideshow event looks spectacular. I've watched the trailer a good 4 or 5 times just cause I like the music. I think everybody wants a new official zed or new weapons, but Tripwire is busy, you can't really bug 'em about it. It'll come eventually.

Definitely picking up the new character pack!

Noobs coming to join my game, and they don't know what they're doing?

Super excited, thanks TWI for the new update! Will buy the character pack, like always to support future updates/games.

Honestly methinks they could be making a lot more money by getting on the micro-transaction bandwagon with weapons at the very least. Many could be very similar to existing weapons but with a bit of extra flair, a unique mechanic or otherwise just being a bit different.

Not sure how that could be implemented though, if at all =/ I don't think the game engine could support specific weapons only being available to specific players at the trader.

Hmmm... I'll follow the tangent of conversation :rolleyes:

I like Team Fortress 2 but I find it... very nooby i guess is the term I'm looking for? Me and my friend were having a bit of trouble on one of the servers, and then I went as a heavy and he went as a medic and we did the whole "Medic/Heavy" combo and didn't lose a round from there. It was too easy. As soon as we changed after that, stuff went downhill for us again. I ended up rage quitting cos i just wasn't having any fun, winning or losing. My favorite "class" is the spy, I reckon he is fun as, but one thign i don't get, if you kill someone with that blade that disguises you as them straight after you kill them, isn't ot pointless cos the guy you just killed is gonna appear in the messages "DolphinBuffMan *knife image* DogLover" so everyone will know it's me anyway? :eek::rolleyes:

TWI isn't about making money, they are about making enjoyable games, and adding to these enjoyable games while still giving their employees enough dosh to feed their families.

Right, and Killing Floor is a survival horror game that works like nothing on the same level as TF2; not to mention the playerbase is used to free updates and TWI themselves stated that they only want aesthetic content to be DLC, so why would they suddenly change that? :p

Though more aesthetic content wouldn't be a bad shout from TWI. I don't particularly want any, but weapon skins etc would be alright, provided they were just skins.

As Sammers said, a weapon skin pack would be ace. No balance changes to worry about, just some new skins for people to get their favourite guns over the top of already existing ones.

Just think how much more peaceful the forums would be...

until someone realizes there isn't and UMP, PSG-1 or a FAMAS in the skin pack...
