Killing Floor

[Imperatore]

I actually worked out at the end that you get the skill point things no matter what perk you choose. I was playing a medic and not shooting much because I wanted to raise my level but I noticed when it was too late that it doesn't matter which perk you choose.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Nuked all the servers, will start over and make them work, hopefully.

edit: all done, see the Server List for new ports.

Me and Pete have web-admin powers too, so we can escape from the bio lab

[Grimmie]

So uh, I reckon that we need a UT Engine mapmaker to make us a version of Malton, complete with Rowse Cinema and Waugh Arms.

Go on then

Sandbox Fun: Father Grigori mode

Set the squads to be mainly Clots, with some stealthbitches and some scrakes thrown in for good measure, disable the shopkeeper then find a lever action rifle, barricade yourself in the church and singlehandedly take on the swarm.

Shame it doesnt count your stats in sandbox mode, though. I got many headshots :(

[HereComesPete]

Not that I've played this a bit much over the weekend or anything, but every time I see some old baldy bloke shuffle round the office I find myself thinking 'headshot opportunity'.

Can we have a scheduled game of this sometime? I'd rather play it for a couple of hours once a week with a few of us, rather than every day until I'm bored of it in a week.

While it's good to get a lot of playing though, is it one of those with four players max?

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Officially, it's 6 players max, more can be done, but it's buggy, laggy and shite.

I've stuck a game up for tuesday, I'll make sure there's enough private servers to hold us all.

[HereComesPete]

10/15 runs okay, plus perk progression stays I think. I've been on a 20 and a 50. 20 was a bit mental but it worked okay because people took turns buying from the trader. The 50 was utter shite. It was laggy, chaotic and filled with inconsiderate 'tards.

I reckon 10 would be max before it got too laggy, so we might get away with that. But any more and it'll be better to split across the servers again.

Good point. Although it's fun now it will get old very fast. Especially if you make use of the bugs to cheat. I can't see it being updated that much with fixes and new content, if at all.

Fixed shotguns making Specimens fly back excessively online

Awww... I liked that one.

[HereComesPete]

It was rather funny.

I haven't checked to see if the gate exploit if fixed bit I would expect so.

No more using it to survive 7 waves of fleshpounds and kill the patriarch like Roman, Chickenz and I did last night!

Epic battle was epic. Especially with Roman managing to take on 40 of the bastards on his own.

And yes, gate exploit is fixed.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

yay! patch.

I dub this one the chickenfix.
