WWAUT - Are You Ready To Beta?

[Bebert1]

What will be the consequence of the "opt in"?

I guess the community will be split? I'm already having trouble finding HoE Servers ; if the player base is split in two, I guess it'll be even harder...

What about the impact on dedicated servers though? Should we admins apply a specific update?

Otherwise, thanks for the heads up chaps, good luck! Can't wait to play with new toys

dlc p2w in early access!?...

In a more serious tone I don't like it. I do own Chivalry but I don't like content being locked behind any additional pay wall before the game is even released.

On a more positive note I can't wait to play the update!

 

[MikeHoncho]

Can't you just add the sword to the game without the Chivalry crap . Why are you restricting access to a weapon that was free in KF? Please tell me you will add it to the game for everyone once you guys are done with this promotion. I really hate exclusive tie-ins like this. Cosmetics are one thing, weapons in a game that is starved for more weapons is another.

 

[Jagdwyre]

It doesn't seem to fit berserker role as it fits more to perk that will use katana. Should come later or be off-perk weapon

Uh, a Zweihander is a really huge sword and historically was used more like a polearm than a sword.

I mean, this looks pretty much like a berserker weapon to me. It is not a subtle weapon.

Maybe in the future, Tripwire could collaborate with some free to play games to get extra stuff in the game. That would be the solution for the extra pay walls.
Like when they did it with the Dwarfs axe. I realize that was Tripwire's own game, but it had a f2p version, so people could still get the axe for their paid Killing Floor game.

The zweilhander was never in KF. Just sayin'.

 

[Diogenes]

I also have a bad feeling about "DLC" content showing up this soon...

There was the Claymore, and it's essentially the same thing in KF.

They're about a metre different in length.

They did this once in KF1, with DWARFS!? to get the axe.

edit: And that was the first and last time I played that game (dwarfs)... just saying...

 

[HunBonus]

I said they are the same in KF. It's the big sword. The katana is the quick small sword, the claymore or zweihandler or whatever you call it is the bigass sword.

If you are going to make a difference between the two based on details or historical accuaricy, then I'd like to suggest about 2-3 different types of flamethrowers into the game, with minor variables, like firing range, damage and base flaming time. You get my point.

Hey it was a fun little game. I had fun with it for some hours.

To me the thing about one person granting everyone access is super neat. I might be lonely on this but it sounds really cool to me. If there are several weapons like that then it will be a cool "random" factor for the game.

*joins server
oh cool zweihander :0

Indeed it is far superior to how it was handled in KF1.

Counter-point: "Daww no one here owns chivalry nor game2 nor game3? Guess I'll play another perk then "

They're too different to act the same way. The claymore just isnt in the same weight or length range as the Zweilhander and that can change how it acts; Imagine slower to swing, but longer reach and more damage and stuffs. Who's to say there wont be more bladed weapons TYPES anyways with the release of that dood wat duz with the sword?

 

[nejcooo]

So new berserker weapon has different stats than Boomhammer? It's either inferior or supperior compared to Boomhammer than.

Might be same tier. Better for crowd control due to range, better for bloats due to sharp damage, but worse against the big-uglies due to not having the secondary stumble-explosion option.

Maybs.

That's what I imagine at least.

 

[Yoshiro]

Yes any stats that you gain in the beta will be kept.

Yes well if later down the line a unique Claymore is added to the game, I guess that negates my point. It would be cool to have many weapons.
Btw I just saw you say the zweihander wasn't in KF1, I don't even know who you addressed that to or why.

 

[Finlandiaperkele]

My initial reaction: Aww... Now I have to buy Chivalry...

But then I noticed that I had it.

But looking good! Can't wait to play Beta!

 

[FoolishNinja]

I bet they will add another sword like the claymore that will be similar to the zweihander.
