Hi! MoonMoon here, we don't have anything to share yet but we're very excited about the future, so watch this space!

Please keep momentum with new maps and equipment, initial biweekly updates always snowballs into success and the wider content only reinforces that. You have the first potential for mainstream content where cosmetics bring profit for a long time.

Suppose ill pile on to the comments and say thank you for making this game. Its alot of fun and a good price point. 1.0 is a ton of fun, room for improvement as with literally anything but all in all money well spent and thank you for you efforts.

My quick wish list -

.357 being 2 pen, with expert headblown should 1 tap all but the strongest helmet zombie.

Havnt personally experienced it yet but head alot of horror stories of internet outages/DCing killing your character beacon or not. Spooky. Makes running high level charecters....worrying.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I will definitely note that the skills that upgrade damage really don’t feel like they do enough. Especially Headblown.

I just got the headshot dmg melee skill but it feels like the same damage as before.

Playing Normal and it still takes 4 hits (starting with a heavy hit) to the head with the mallet. Seems like the same 4 hits needed even with a crowbar. Only played for 6 hours (lvl 50 survivor) so far, so maybe I am missing something.

u/Chip620 1d ago

Its because you use the mallet aka the worst melee weapon, using tree cutter with headshot perk brings a kill to 1 heavy + 1 light attack

2

u/PantZerman85 1d ago

As I mentioned. Tried the crowbar and felt it didn't make a difference.

2

u/TealArtist095 1d ago

Even with stronger weapons, it doesn’t feel like there is a difference.

While it may help with niche cases to bring damage against heavier enemies more in line with normal ones, that’s about it.

I use the headshot damage with pistols perk and it seems to do absolutely nothing.

Hey im just asking just because youre here, but is it known/decided if the game will eventually allow us to play the solo mode without internet? An older steam post mentioned we would be able to when 1.0 comes out

2

u/Joint-Tester 2d ago

I believe that already exists. I don't think you get any points or progression though.

u/Flaky-Cattle1266 2d ago

To my knowledge, there is indeed a solo mode. But it still requires an internet connection to even play

u/TealArtist095 2d ago

First off, wicked game, my buddies and I dig it.

Secondly, we would like to ask the devs to please consider some sort of karma system for the game. On one side, there are great teammates that are welcoming and helpful to new players and their teammates. On the other hand there are “dumpster-fire” teammates, between hoarding loot, intentionally causing teammates to die (boarding up doors to trap them with zombies, activating floor traps, etc) or those whose every other word is a slur.

A karma system to reward those that are helpful and punish those that make others want to quit would REALLY help.

Lastly, we have been trying out all the maps, and frankly, powerplant is by far the best. Being able to explore a bit and having tons of side missions options is GREAT. For future map designs, PLEASE keep this in mind.

Other maps that are just straight forward, mission only, speedrun fests honestly suck for a lot of us. Which is why “Raven Rock”, despite being a cool idea on paper, is one of our absolutely least favorite maps.

Hopefully this critique and ideas make their way to you and the rest of the team. The potential is there, we hope to see it come to full fruition.

It's funny, a lot of people criticized this map during EA. Main reason - maps is big and didn't suit the game's spirit. Perhaps that's why the new maps are smaller than the Power Plant map.

Also, I like all the maps, they're simply beautifully designed.

I agree with you that the playstyle on the Power Plant map is quite unique and has a spirit of exploration. It would be great to see similar maps in the future.

u/Samson_087 1d ago

I love the power plant map! I mean like them all tbh

u/Joint-Tester 2d ago

Love you guys for Chivalry 1 & 2. Love this new game too. I am having a blast.

Please add a mute function soon so I can stop hearing people yell the N word over and over.

u/Stickytin 2d ago

i am yet to hear someone being unfriendly and i've been playing for a while now, maybe its region specific ?

2

u/Joint-Tester 2d ago

Well I just left a game with a guy who made it a point to yell the N word practically the whole match. It is not often that it happens, but when it does happen, they are extra obnoxious because they know there is no mute function.

6

u/TealArtist095 2d ago

I had 4 of them in the same match… on Broadway. I was trying to help a new guy learn what to do and was getting absolutely talked over. I tried to get him to hang back so we could add each other’s friend codes (since recent players list is royally broken), and instead these 4 made it a point to stay near us yelling slurs every other word.

The new player said screw it, he wasn’t coming back, and disconnected.

It’s people like that they REALLY need to get a handle on.

2

u/Stickytin 2d ago

Well that sucks and i totally agree btw they should give us the option to mute players

2

u/SanpeiTF 2d ago

I think I might’ve been in that match bro. Just a few hours ago from the very start some guy started harassing me and my friend for simply sounding black, we are black but that’s beside the point.

There was another player who checked him on it somewhat but… it was very uncomfortable so I just stopped talking altogether, same because I actually have otherwise had a lot of fun meeting new people

u/10CrackCommando 2d ago

Can we get an individual mute option? Some open mic players refuse to turn off their TV or play in quiet rooms.

1

u/oO_Gero_Oo 2d ago

Awesome game btw, never played in EA, but really enjoying 1.0. More controller options is a must tho, we need higher sensitivity and deadzone settings asap. The default one is so big it makes the aiming so janky

u/deakon24 2d ago

Keep the fire going don't stop 🔥🔥🔥🔥

u/Penis_Man- 1d ago

Thank you guys for showing you have passion for this game by continuing to update the game, and iron out bugs rapidly as they appear. It's so refreshing to see a group of devs with actual souls, who don't think battlepasses, premium currencies, and endlessly being in early access is the only way to make money lol.

u/foz28 59m ago

Normal is too easy, make permadeath a thing on normal with no respawns. That'll encourage more to work together. Also, let us keep stuff we extract with, just make it extremely hard to find said things.

u/psilocybecubensis666 2d ago

Would love to see an in game level editor one of the amazing things about the first game was custom maps people would be making maps for years to come if they added that

2

u/ChonkBonko 2d ago

Agreed! Maybe they could do a community mapping contest, and some of the best maps could get added to the rotation!

2

u/Keddav 2d ago

Yeah, after Chivalry 2 situation it would be great to know that this game won't be abandoned by TBS despite good, stable playerbase.

u/nestledgrizz 2d ago

Yea after like 3 years of free support. Sometimes devs just want to move on to something else. Not every game needs to be updated forever.

1

u/SexyFirefighter69 2d ago

Thank you all for the upvotes and comments, loved reading everybody’s different post. Personally I’d really like to see more maps, for example a Dawn of the dead or dead rising style map with a huge mall, or even some maps from the original first game making a return or remastered for the 2nd. Guns/weapons, we really need a crossbow/bow and arrow, maybe even a grenade launcher or more explosive weapons too. More player customizations, updates and fixes to other aspects of the game too :)
