Befor the most recent update, a level 6 firebug was given a flamethrower, and armor. But no, Not anymore. just a Flamethrower.

Why?

Why did they do this?

Did they do it because their going to add something to it that would make it over powered if they added armor to it as well?

Or do they think the firebug is magically better without armor.

Either way, I am not pleased with it.

Spawning without armor wasn't on purpose

It's a bug

Even the FireBugs lvl6 description states it spawns with armor

Will be fixed

Yes, the loss of armor was an accident, but TWI hasn't exactly been in a rush to fix it.

They need a steam update to fix this man. Too much Steam update is pissing server admins because they have to update their servers.

There have been a whopping total of three or four updates in the past eight months. There are other more populated games, such as Team Fortress 2, which have received over two dozen updates in the same time frame (with a lot more content, to boot!). I sincerely doubt that's the reason.

You just pointed out something, TF2 is a more popular game. Close to 4k servers for TF2 and roughly 700 for KF. I'm pretty sure you will still be able to find a good amount of servers for TF2 after an update which is not the case for KF where you have to wait a few days to get all the servers back. And seriously, a whole update to fix something worth 300$ would be pretty lame. Especially when they will release new stuff soon.

IF they ever release the balance update...They love taking their sweet time. And i'm sure we'll see some lovely bugs with the balance update too.

Yeah, they love to take their sweet time on an incredible game called RO:HOS. Have you watched the trailer yet?

exactly, so to all those whining about "where's the KF update?" or "where's KF2?"....... how do you think all us RO veterans feel about them taking their "sweet time" on RO2 for the last 3+ years? be happy that they've at least confirmed KF will still be getting at least one more free content update especially since they've still got a lot of time to put into their franchise game.

This isn't about us wanting more free content, this is about us wanting them to fix what they broke.

Yeah and the answer is to wait until the content update. Spawning with or without a body armor is not such a deal and thats why it is not necessary to make a steam update to only fix this problem.

I'd personally prefer spawning with $225 extra dosh over armor as a 6 Bug.

Comparing KF to TFT2? its like comparing an f2p and p2p mmorpg(ames)

Tripwire is a smaller company compared tp valve, its a simple fact they got less resources. At least we STILL are getting updates lol.

and there WILL be bugs or imbalances in a game, name any other online game that u can actually say that is bug free and has no imbalance whatsoever. Every fps and mmorpg that i've played has these things.

Give them time, go enjoy the gray outdoors :D
