ZED-time is what makes Killing Floor what it is.

I propose that no-one adds an option to turn it off serverside. This will make people unhappy for when they join a server to find that the wonderful ZED-time will not be included.

I propose that there is a serverside option that lets us double the rate of ZED-time acquisition and/or the length of each ZED-time sequence.

Totally usless? Not for the commando perk, When in ZED time the ak47 becomes so devastating when I can make each shot a head shot, instantly popping heads, when all 37 shots from my ak47 went to head shots and waste a crowd because of ZED time I have a hard time accepting ZED time 'Totally usless'.

wow...i really dont see the problem with ZED-time it has helped me alot of times when im playing suicidal, because the gorefast there...bloody hell they have alot of dmg and they aint easy hitting in the head when they are using the zig zag method agains you while in a group of 5, i get ZED times mostly when they are charging and that= free HS, 1 shot on each quite fun AND USEFULL, you can download a mutator for the game that disables the zed time if you dont like it -.-

I remember a time when someone else triggered ZED time a fraction before I 1 deaged a clot with the handcannon at point blank. I remember seeing its face vanish and its eyes and brain stood still in place for 1/4 of a second before rocketting up into the air in a bloody shower...

I think I wept tears of joy for the rest of the game :)

Zed time may annoy you, but it is a huge advantage for berserkers. It can even mean the difference between life and death if you get surrounded and need every single slash to count, because you will have more time to aim at the specimens before swinging.

It is also highly beneficial to commandos and M14 sharpshooters.

I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like zed-time. I don't know, maybe it never annoyed me because I was already used to having time randomly slow down in The Specialists. I'm very disappointed that it will be turned off in some servers in the future.

True dat. Zed time is a life-saver. Especially when you're surrounded and there's like >9000 clots grabbing you from all sides and you need to get away.

It sucks when I'm stuck reloading during zed time.. because I'm wanting to be using the time to headshot everything lol. But otherwise, it's purely beneficial. While you may be slowed down the same percentage as the zeds, your mouse isn't (well it's slowed down, but it's not limited on it's movement). At the very least, it gives you a second or 2 breather to just look around and assess your environment regardless of what you were doing previously. Has saved me countless times (zed time starts, turn around, fleshie is 2 feet away).

It's one of those things where you just have to get used to it, and when you do, you end up loving it.

In my oppinion its very helpful if you're on the front lines at the time.
Very helpful with headshots and calms your nerves for a second.

Not only to these offense perk, zed time also can benefit the medic with MP7, best to hit these runner with med dart.

Lol oh yeah, I forgot about that. Also seems that, during ZED time, weapons aren't slowed down as much as specs and players, thus enabling gazillons of headshots from a good SS, and med darts to actually hit people.

Ok first off, Zed time is awesome.

Granted, there will be times where you are running/welding and not able to take advantage of it.

But, there have been times where "Zed time" has triggered at a crucial point in the game. If you are not looking for those opportunities or even having a quick glance around for situational awareness' sake when it happens, you're doing it wrong.

Disagree OP, big time.

Mmm.. zed time healing via medic gun.. I totally forgot about that, yet I do it all the time. Tempted to spend some time leveling commando just to get that sweet slo-mo more often. Even if just to watch the gibs.

ZED-Time is really handy if you use it right it can give you the upper hand. Its perfect for lineing up those long distance shots with enemy's heads. Yes your gun moves slow so just move ur mouse that bit quicker ;). Serioulsy try it. Ive gotten many a head shot and kill through ZED-Time.

Its also a good time to take a deep breath and take an awareness of your surroundings on what you will aim at next it gives you a little pause to actully look somewhere else on the monitor and i can say its actully saved my bacon a few times of suddenly noticeing im about to be gutted by a stalker but that little glint they give off from their cloak is slowed down and thus i saw them and so survived

There is the odd time when its inapropriate and can be a little annoying but ah well live with it. The Pros of it looking awsome and advantages massively out weigh the cons.
