Kissers Are Infuriating and Ruined Our Night

[Agilis]

Kissers absolutely cause the most frustration. Great concept but the execution needs work.

I read the FAQ and the guide to the Kissers and when you just start off in this game, you are short-handed which makes it very difficult to survive when attacked by the Kisser.

The kisser mechanic where players are supposed to run face first into walls to knock them off needs work. They take up too much of the screen, and it's very, very disorienting trying to run into a wall when an object, such a trashcan, safe, something that you cannot see, impedes your ability to sprint into the wall.

The best option would be to automatically switch to a 3rd person view in order to allow the player to navigate towards a wall. If that is not possible, then something else needs to be allowed by the player to thwart the attack.

Maybe a single mask that spawns in the lvl that keeps one person safe from the kissers and that person can hit the kissers off with the crowbar. We were getting miffed with the kissers too.

Kissers are definitely the most challenging. My friend and I got them once and I think we got fairly far but ended up dying because we couldn't get them off in time. I think your best bet is to split in pairs, if running a 4 man group, that way you can knock them off of each other if you get attacked. They can also be parried, but the timing on smacking them is insane. Have yet to even be able to get them off by running into a wall.

If you're solo, it's definitely hard, but doable. If you're in a group? It's easy. You just smack each other with a crowbar. Really doesn't need any tweaking in the case of group gameplay. Running into walls isn't that difficult, either, not if you just run through the centre of a corridor. You'll avoid all the stuff on the sides and by the walls. I hate to say it but this feels like a skill issue.

Hi Agilis,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write to us! Feedback regarding the kissers is very mixed. Many players find them too easy in multiplayer, while many others, like you, find them too difficult to deal with.
The fact that the kisser jumps on your face and obstructs your vision is an intentional part of its design but we continue to tweak the monsters to improve their behavior.

Thank you again!!

Personally, I understand your intentions and if that is the case, then the solutions to deal with them need to be consistent. It seems to be hit or miss whether they dislodge when you run into a wall or hit them with a crowbar.

Also, there are instances where they infinitely spawn such as Art Exhibit where they spawned 4 to 5 kissers constantly in the gallery which made it impossible to navigate the lasers without setting off the alarm.
