About the new update...

[ThaDaLinkWent]

The increased difficulty in the new update is most definitely challenging but at the same time, the devs FORGOT TO MAKE IT FUN OR BALANCED to be honest. The zombie respawn timer in this game is even shorter than the zed respawn timer in Killing Floor 2 on Hell on Earth difficulty and that's saying something. There's no sense of reprieve from the horde constantly spawning every time you turn your back. Horde mode type games know to give the player(s) a tiny 30-60 second window to gather themselves for another round.

Just because some players have the ability to play and power through bad mechanics and poor design is not an indication that everything is OK in the game. This is a balance issue and they have yet to find the sweet spot on tuning the pacing of a match. And could it hurt for them to highlight interactable objects a bit better? Because flashlights just don't cut it sometimes.

And can someone PLEASE for the love of mercy help me with the performance in this game because my frame rate is all over the place I get between 32-115 FPS and it's never stable. That and getting random stutters and rubberbanding issues in games.

Yeah its rubbish. game has potential but its the hardcore supporters that refuse to see anyone elses point of view yet blame the devs when player count is so low.

if a house is full of zombies theres actually no point in trying to even make it through it and instead go a block down, wait for the zombies to spawn, head back and they all moved spawn. i have to exploit the game's aggressive spawn circle around the player cause otherwise by the time i kill all the zombies in that house, i literally cant even tell i did that because they've been replaced by more zombies that flooded in as i did it.

and im sick of seeing those people who say "you're not supposed to fight them. you need to avoid them" try telling me that with a straight face when the objective is picking up tools off a corpse on the second floor and the entire staircase and hallway has 13 zombies. am i suppose to f*cking climb a tree to get up there or do you think asking the zombies politely to move would be the best course of action?

Yeah it's unfortunate to see more and more elitism and gatekeeping cropping up. You would think these kind of people would appear after a 1.0 launch not during early access when people are still trying to give constructive feedback.

I'm with you, the current spawn time should be the default spawn time of higher difficulties, for example +10 level.

The game will be definitely a loop of hours to complete a match. Is not fun, there's a current overpowered reward to finish a run? if no, there should be easier until high levels.

Gameloop ingame feels good, missions are definitely the best part for me.

I only got into the game on the free weekend and besides obviously stupid decision to spawn zombies regadless of distance to players it's been not so bad. I had a couple crashen and connection issues, but that's more on the performance and stability not gameplay. Presonally, I see no problem in frequent spawn of zombies, even if it increases when they are killed to make a stacking horde to overwhelm players over time. They just need to spawn far enough, so barricades would makes sense and it would be possible to get into the building, close all doors and clear it inside to be safe for the time being, while you do the objective.

Yea I want to play so badly but its just boring and frustrating to go into a small house and have endless spawns of hundreds of zombies swarming the house. Zombies should follow noise but they should literally spawn infinitely to swarm one house. Especially early on before you even loot a single damn weapon...

[Faceless Ray]

Even as it is now, the game sometimes turns out even EASY, if you get lucky with a spawn, lead the horde to a good spot and then just make some distance to have enough time to do whatever you need. But it can randomy get very hard when you get to a choke poin, like the stairs or a room with only one door and they just suddenly spawn around you and instantly corner you to death (to be fair I got our of such situations a couple times, just knocking them down and running through, but it's not always possible).

This patch is garbage. Terrible zombie spawns, no loot, to much zombies, I can't even put a new battery in my flashlight, because I don't get the time for it.....

First map was way more fun.... Terrible patch to do a free weekend, I don't understand who choose to release this patch and free weekend at the same time....

Visual, performance and combat has improved but all the other stuff 5 steps back.

Honestly this game is going to die for this kinda of gatekeeping donkey players the game might be something closer to 1 but its actually far from it so confusing no team playing whatesever
