Anybody else hate zed time?

[Pig on steroids]

Ever since I started playing this game Ive had an extreme dislike towards the zed time feature
It randomly slows the game down when im not doing anything and it just looks out of place 90% of the time
Yes it is useful sometimes when it actually occurs at the right moments but Ive never really appreciated it in the first place

[друг (los siento)]

If your perk isnt level 25 it gets really annoying sometimes

Zed time is a life saver for me, also it has a lot of advantages.

For example, Zed time with the gunslinger when there's 3+ big zeds side by side, a single zed time and you can decap 2 big zeds and finish the other one after the zed time, the same thing with the berserker, run up to it, fire eviscerator into head.

Nothing better than playing on HoE, you're surrounded and probably gonna die but Zed Time just activate at the right moment and you just Headshot every zed surrounding you.

But yea, i get your point when there's zed time and you just started the reloading animation, so when the gun finally reload, the zed time already ended and all zeds are dead or when you're in the middle of nowhere with no zeds nearby.

Its still annoying with lvl 25 unless your berserker where u can run in realtime

No

ppl debating on bad/good sides of zed time. like... if there is no zed time it isnt killing floor anymore.

kf1 gave nothing special to zed time but still was nice to get

the problem is it happens at pointless moments
specially in the first few waves when there isnt alot of zeds

Zed time is just a part of the game and it isn't random. Check all the mechanics here:

I'm not sure how you could hate it, seeing as you have maxed out all your perks. Zed time can be a game saver if used right. What perk are you playing?

feels random tho
2 seconds into the wave and its slow motion for 5 seconds when theres nothing happening on my end

any player can trigger zed time it isnt just you who can do it. and if commndo was in team they can extend it for a longer period.

2 SS and 1 commando, half of the game is zed time. i would change things that triggers zed time if there was an option.

thats the problem tho
I dont want to wait in slowmo for nothing because somebody randomly triggers it from elsewhere

this game is teamplay, which means in most cases players are most likely together unlike in kf1 where zerk can solo, cause spawns for zeds there are different.

in kf2 it spawns more near the place where more players are, so if it triggers there are still can be zeds around, or you can check around you a 360 spin wont hurt to check around if everything is ok.

it is really helpful, this comes from someone played alot of HoE from EA till release/now.

I play on hoe and sucidal mostly and i dont agree

zed times should be triggered by ammount of damage tacken\dealt in 1 second because right now there are situation where Zed time triggers when you kill last mob\group of mobs with explosion or even Scrake\FP so you kinda waste Zed-time for nothing but 2-3 seconds ago zed-time was needed.
Team deals 1000 damage in 1 second - Zed time triggered, Team get damaged by 60-100hp in 1 second (maybe difficulty related) - Zed time triggered.

pretty much this
at lvl 25 you gain insane boosts during zed time
from unlimted ammo, to faster firing speed and damage, and everthing in between
zed time works better for landing more precise shots like for sharp and gunslinger.
Ever sice KF1, the main aim at zed time as better slower movement speed on zeds so your sharp or demo could aim better at the big zeds like fleshpounds and scrakes
