Make Killing Floor 2 Popular Again - Go Free 2 Play

[Val]

I'm being serious btw. The game will easily get 10X more players by going free to play, and I think that we could really use the new players and a lot of new servers.

you know what it could use? An easy way to host private game like any respectable coop games do. Listenin servers or hell even a simple host LAN game would do as with Hamachi I can easily play coop games with friends


and also... go free 2 play made what Popular Again? You want the game to go F2P so it can be flooded with hackers and cheaters who even after getting somehow bannd will simply change account and add the game on new one?

If you like the game so much, buy gifts, give them to friends, increase the population of gamers around yourself with gifts, see how it feels when you give sth that cost you for free to people

[Happy Unlucky]

I don't think going Free to Play is a good idea. There are other ways to increase player population. . . Ways that don't open the door to insanity.

Sure, the game's pricetag is definitely the reason why people don't play the game anymore.

Take a look at what's been going on lately and try again.

Oh... like a Epic / Tripwire million unit giveaway? Yeah, that worked out swell for GTA R*, it'll be great for KF. Huawei does serve 2 Billion+

I don't think that Free to Play will make an astronomical difference in North America and European Union, but going F2P will instantly increase the number of players by over a million in Asia (Mostly India and Indonesia)

Not really going to happen I stopped playing because of the DLC weapons no way i'm paying $10 -$15 for a weapon or bundle of two weapons. I can understand the pricetag for skins but for an actual weapon is outragous. I mean thats some 2008 Nexon Combat Arms pay to win stuff right there.

[GabeTheGrump]

No thanks I'd rather not play with a bunch of trolls and hackers coming in just to screw everyone over

[Ricardo Milos]

Pls no, if kf2 goes f2p, it is doomed.

[Rocknack]

I agree with the general sentiment around here. It's bad enough with the free weekends as it is. People who have no clue flood servers on HoE and suicidal, basically making it unplayable. I missed the last 2x XP event because of that.

Also yes: I don't play as much anymore because the new weapon DLCs are just hell of overpriced. Let some lunatic pay 10$ to wear a shark as a head in game but don't put that kind of price tag on anything that's remotely gameplay relevant.

the game is perfectly playable even if you didnt buy DLC weapons... what kind of logic is that?

KF2 currently has less than 10k cocurrent player so it's a pretty dead game already. The simple fact is that we need new players.

[Siluva]

I'm gonna debunk one of the most biggest myth of the gaming history :

Going F2P =/= automatically saving a game.

Now with that out of the way.
Making the game F2P won't fix the actual flaws of the game, it will just attract an extremely toxic community, farming bots, cheaters, trolls, squeaker, ect ect, just look at the TF2 / CS:GO / Dota 2 community, this will give you a hint.

Assuming it would even attract people to begin with, (farming bots don't count as people) TWI already gave away the game on PS4, alongside many sales and free week-ends on PC, and yet the playercount stagnate.

yeah... average players jumped almost 90% up since last month. Dead game indeed

Seriously kid, just go and play some free 2 play games if you call a game with average 8,232.5 players and the same game where at one point 35,962 players were playing at the SAME TIME this month a "dead game"

Lol, The game was free 2 play for a week. Thats why those numbers are inflated. from 9th to 16th the game was f2p on steam. Usual average is around 4-5k.
Just look at past month chart.
Also look at current players, barely touching 4k.

We do, but this game already suffers from careless and clueless people on Suicidal and HoE, having 8-9k active players. It is very rare to see a team, where guys actually know their business. Making KF2 F2P will probably kill HoE, considering how many newcomers (including cheaters, trolls, griefers, toxic players and other animals) are going to flood servers and we all know how destructive can some perks be, especially on higher difficulties.
