Thing about speed is that its fucked right now, im using the same speed i had in surge but there i had goldberg maxed out in speed, yet with a wrench i can run far faster. Why ahve they not fixed this ?

I will gladdly be more specific with you in private that way i can better understand what the ideas were behind the changes to the game.

As the title says, what do you think of the game so far ?

Wasnt a thing and sorry if i sound rude but shouldnt you know how it was like ?

Zombies in general dont need more health, the way it scales however should change. I dont recal this ever being an issue and i cant be that we all suck, since i see that fat chunks of my health just cease even when most people are missing left right and center.

Weve all had time to check the game out and its fair to say that its a bit on the disapointing side of things unfortunatly. Bugs are still present, exploits are still in place and they seem to have only touched things that didnt need to be touched. Im pretty sure everyone had the same reacton when you looked at weapon stats, namely "What?". For starters they changed their stats to something no one asked for, because when people thought about mv needing balance was to remove the p2w and rebalancing a few weapons that were honestly quite broken, namely some of the gods, alongside removing some of the spam the game has. What they did instead was bazookas and grenade launchers options that dont need swapping at all. Thats the problem, they removed swapping from two of the weapons that need it the most increasing the overall spam you have to deal with. I was fine with auto shotguns, i think they are balanced because the drawbacks are quite big, you have to get closer to people due to how innacurate and low damaging they are and at that point youll just get killed stupid quick, but remove the need for nades and zookas to be swapped and you have a problem. They made changes to the upgrade system and its also quite a let down because it fixed something in a way that people didnt want. The problem wasnt that the upgrades were broken, the issue was that getting a weapon to level 9 was an incredably grindy process that nearly forced you to use money. The upgrades themselfs were also quite small, rarely breaking damage thresholds. Even a maxed out shoty would still 2 to 3 shot someone. Parts are now upgradeable as well which is an interesting idea. It works the way you think it does, buy the part feed it some energy and upgrade it, but heres the problem, before, you bought the part with whatever stat you wanted, now you have to buy it grind for energy, upgrade the part to get what you used to get by just buying the part, why is this a thing ? It adds absolutly nothing and why do accessories give speed now ? What was so bad about getting extra ammo for them and thats that ? Honestly i have to say that they should roll back changes to what surge was and start from there with our feedback. All the bugs in maps(i.e the window spot in neighborhood) are still present, im working on a video to give the devs as feedback so they can fix this. Ocasionally the game bugs out and you cant see the scoreboard, fixed with a restart. Zombies ocasionally dont get their jump height bonus. Bloom is insane in some places, so bad you cant see the chat. Wrench and spybrella b once upgraded give you insane speeds, faster than zombies. It saddens me to say this but the game right now is a mess and wont survive if it remains this way, they need to change things and listen to our feedback.

They wont be free for sure. Hope they get rid of the upgradeable parts since instead of buying the part and getting the speed boost you now ahve to buy it, grind energy then upgrade it to get the exact same effect. Upgradeable parts is a bad idea.

Toning it down a lot is a good idea or better yet a video option.

You can upgrade them and now you can get completly busted speeds. Before i used a speed set plus maxed out goldenberg which gave me the highest move speed you could get in the game(excluding those god awfull upgradeable sets) and i could never outrun zombies, now i can.

The game needs a lot of changes.

I have no idea what they were thinking when they made these changes, its like they listen to people that complained about weapons being op because they kept seeing people spamming zeus. So what they is make spamming weapons far easier without needed to sue a core gameplay mechanic. Its like if valve said "Okay we got you, people think soldier is too spammable" and then removed his ability to rocket jump. Its the wrong way of balancing things, what i say is bring back the old weapon balance and start from there with the communities feedback.

Alright regarding the upgrade system, what was the main problem it had ? Did it make weapons overpowered ? Not really, you werent breaking any damage thresholds, you still took 2 to 3 shots to kill someone with a shoty. The problem was how difficult it was to upgrade weapons and how if you didnt spend money you would be there griding for batteries for a shitty long time. Think what would happen if everyone could get level 9 weapons relatively easely, would that have broken the game ? Not really because again the levels themselfs didnt change a ton on how you used the weapons and its overall effectiveness. As for player base stats, why not just give every character the same stats ? I mean really this shit should be a visual thing.

Games bugs havent been fixed. Bug spots that worked in surge are still present. Remember those people running around with cheats that never had to swap because they could fire rockets at swap speed without doing it ? Well thats a feature now. Theres not a ton of need to swap. Honestly what they though when they were balancing the game was a good try i wont deny it but this is not the right way to go. The old weapon balance was fine it only had some weapons that needed changing, namely the gods. Taking things in this direction is the wrong way of doing it and im not alone in this, a lot of people have the same opinion as me.

What was one of the games most popular game mode ? Zombie mode so having a large ammount of testers that mostly played zombie mode is a good idea because you also want that game mode to be balanced.

Yeah theres a ton of stuff missing and the balance changes they made are just really weird. They are going the wrong way with this.

Honestly im a bit mixed when it comes to how fast bazookas and grenade launchers can fire. Feels like they removed a large need to swap.

What you used to sign up for the beta.

Got a key and have never played the game through steam.

I have no idea.

For the duration of the closed beta yes, which is for about a wekk though it could be extended. After that everyone can play. Beta testers progress will also be wiped after the closed beta is over.

Title explains it all, make sure youre not an idiot like me who was looking at the wrong email.

desafinado56 and if that isnt available just desafinado like my old account used to have
