Thanks for listening to your actual fanbase, tripwire!

Precisely. It's just a shame that it took them this long to listen to us.

Id temper your excitement just a bit, they still got to appease the clueless with the money who only care about profit margins and couldnt really give 2 shts about the actual game itself...
Just sayin

They haven't listened to any of you yet. You'd only be sure of that after they have shared the development and I don't expect any big changes from beta to release in that few months span.

If we go by that message, they have said they wanted to maintain the core experience. We have heard that before, they have told us how they "going back to the roots" and we have this amalgamation of DooM, Apex and CoD. I would pretty much like them being honest and share the changes they have made along these months, when they go back to the black board.

Secondly, they only confirm a post-release update that separate characters and perks; which is a big "IF" for anyone capable of reading between the lines. If this game fails to take enough interest at the initial sales, it will flop and they will never release such update by the concerns of denting monetization.

Killing Floor fans are sure loyal to this franchise and being very supportive, but no fan base would stay for long with you if you try to suppress their voice and ignore them.

You make it seem like this game is bad because of Embracer. The game is bad because of the creative/game directors, not because of its monetization.

This actually gives me some small bit of hope, which is terrifying because it might still be crushed

I am completely out of the loop but why was the beta received so negatively? Forgive me for asking but I didn't feel like sifting through lots of threads and I haven't followed the game at all. Looks like this is the Payday 3 version of Killing Floor!

It's two part.
- Most KF1 and KF2 vets don't like the design changes (perk -> hero shooter, tying character to class, zed design changes that affect lore, guns are more more bland, arcadey, and stat driven).
- There are also significant bugs and a clear lack of polish/care, to an extent that 3 weeks isn't enough to fix.

J4MES as far as I can tell people just wanted either killing floor 2 remake or reskin.

As much as a delay sounds good we’ll have to wait and see.

They took out everything what made the game fun and made it a cheap CoD mobile+ overwatch clone.

-Hero shooter
-Abilites
-Less gore
-More edar like zeds
-Sliding mechanics
-Generic looking characters
-Horrible map design
-"Blood" literally everywhere so it looked like they just painted everything in red
-Weird sci-fi weapons
-You can only carry 3 heals with you
-Suicidal difficulty got removed
-KF2 flex gore system is by far better than the new gore system

The only good thing about the game is the music and the weapon attachment i guess?

Too many reasons to list, tbh.

Good.

Yeah, thats true. Hopefully the next beta will be better.

Killing Floor 2 was basically more of Killing Floor 1, but better, and it was quite well received, so I frankly fail to see how expecting 3 follow that pattern is a bad thing. The wheel doesn't always need reinvented.

Killing Floor 3 is neither more of 2 nor better.
