Which Zed has been improved the most?

[Lieutenant Skittles]

In your opinion, which Zed has been improved the most? I personally think the Bloat has been improved the most. He isn't as much of a pushover as his predecessor, and on HoE he is truly a formidable foe, due to his sprint ability and his bile doing way more damage. He is most certainly harder to take down in this game than the first.

Bloat, followed by the husk. Both are great upgrades.

Only one I don't like is the siren. She's worse mechanics-wise and she looks kinda lame. Old siren was the only zed that looked genuinely scary. I remember jumping off my chair when her close-up appeared in the main menu when I was first playing.

Bloat is already spoken for what with it being more of a special zed rather than a trash zed you just pop once and be done with, so I have to say STALKER.

Stalkers are significantly harder to see, and even hit while uncloaked. They're also miles faster and they seem to have more attacks.

KF1's stalker could be very easily seen at range, and dodging its pathetic attack was so easy.

Yeah, she is pretty hard to hit due to her doing so many acrobatic moves and hitting you at the same time. And when there are multiple at once they can do a lot of damage to one player if they get the chance.

I was gonna vote for Stalker, but after seeing nobody voted for fleshpound I had to give him a vote. Hes attack animations are much better now and that makes him scarier as well.

Stalkers now are basically what crawlers are in KF1. They can actually LAND hits now and are even fairly fast, and their cloak is actually hard to see now since it just flickers.

Old stalkers were absolute garbage. Thank the maker for what they are now.

 

[Razul]

i will say stalker and husk. I voted stalker.

 

[~Ren~]

I voted for pesky little Steve aka the Crawler. Bear with me, I started my first game on suicidal knowing I was only a level 0 and about to get my backside kicked but during the second game I seen something that surprised me, a crawler leaping towards another player, that leap was around 15 metres, once they have the ability to walk on walls and ceilings they'll be really nasty.

That's all cool. This thread is all opinion, and everyone is welcome to share what they think.

Stalkers imo. They scare me with their bloody half-invisible dance tricks They are fast and hard to hit as well.

I voted bloat but honestly its hard to ignore others...especially stalker

-bloat looks a lot better, ofc the animatinos and attacks are better and his head isnt 1shoted by everything

-stalker is on the same level, harder to see, actually hits you and hard to hit, only bad thing is her looks...she looked better in KF1

-the 3 clots types...I actually like their grab now...and nice to see some different looks

-gorefast: They look pretty much the same as in KF1....didnt really need changes though

-crawlers: they seem the same...so much like gorefast...didnt require changes anyway...seems harder to spot though

-siren: at least it doesnt instawreck you with screams...finally got better utility as mainly nade destroyer and takes quite a beating

-husk...I actually aint too thrilled about him

-scrake....I dont like his new looks...but otherwise everything improved and is now finally a threat

FP: looks better, is actually a threat now (in KF1 kite him for days he never rages)...my main issue is he doesnt use his robot talk anymore (if I could choose 1 zed to get his voices back, its FP)

 

[Jovial]

It's great improvement overall.

• Stalkers are amazing and can be extremely annoying now.
• Bloats are just amazing.
• Husks are even more potent bringers of death now.

Some others like siren could use a bit more work.

 

[tibits]

Stalker.
Stalker's animations are so great too. Jackamo certainly does know how to get intouch with his feminine side.

 

[rechz]

Don't decide about zeds before playing Suicidal and Hell on Earth.

They behave REALLY differently at higher difficulties.

 

[Cwivey]

I poop myself when I see a wall of angry Clots sprinting at me.

 

[Nenjin]

Not really going to vote because I think different ZEDs are better for different reasons.

-Clots just got a lot more depth by being three types instead of 1, and the grab. While some of the differences are literally just an animation or two, it really diversified the line up of stuff coming at you. I also love angry clot now. He's ready for a fight! Like a boxer walking to the middle of the ring. The grab for me has made me re-evaluate how I see clots and it startles me most times it happens.

-Scrake visually is more intimidating now. Maybe they went a little overboard on the muscle mass. I love some of the animations now. How he points at his target like Babe Ruth, how he does a little victory dance after killing a player. I like how relentless he's become once he's raging, because he often didn't get there in KF1 on lower difficulties. Raid boss is pretty appropriate to him now. With balance the way it is, I find him actually more threatening than the FP.

-FP. I like him mostly for the same reasons as the Scrake, the visuals and animation flourishes like the victory dance. In terms of gameplay, I don't feel like he's changed that much, and sometimes, I think he's easier to deal with (but maybe that's because there's not sending three of them at you at a time like the Scrake ><)

Husks : Fireballs + Flamthrower + Suicide bomber = Burn baby burn !

 

[drfeelgoodmd]

Bloat, Stalker, and Husk are the most improved.

 

[Shining Wolf]

For everyone voting husk: He already did the most consistent damage of all of the zeds in KF1. Is the fireball even as accurate as the KF1 one? I get hit with it constantly, but I think that's from personal screw ups when trying to figure out how to dodge it.

 

[Gallic_Taffer]

I spent years begging for a more dangerous stalker, one similar to the fiendish version in the super zeds mod.

Now that TWI has done what I and so many have asked, there is this concordant yet opposing feeling of both satisfaction and regret...
