PRIMARY GOAL: To provide challenging gameplay bridging the gap between vanilla pubs and Controlled Difficulty.
SECONDARY GOAL: To provide a quality of life boost to the game, making it more enjoyable, more convenient, and less frustrating in various aspects.
PRIMARY GOAL is achieved through the "Turbo" servers
- Endless: Features a more dramatic difficulty scaling.
- Max ZEDs that can be alive at the same time is doubled (64)
- ZED Spawn Rate is doubled
- Wave size is doubled
- Larges have 6-player health regardless of the size of the team
- Survival: A hacked version of Controlled Difficulty
- Supports SpawnCycles and the modification of variables in order to make the game even harder than HoE.
- Main difference between this and Turbo Endless: Turbo Survival doesn't scale to the player count at all. It is fixed difficulty
There are other gamemodes that are created for fun, such as King of the Hill, as well as others we are making in the future.
The goal is to be an upgraded Vanilla. This is not a typical modded server with wacky mods, low gravity, etc. We want to make the game harder and also more enjoyable at the same time and stick to the original formula that made KF2 so fun.
SECONDARY GOAL is achieved through a package of mods put together (and partially created) by Forrest Mark X, with some influence from Tamari.
There are quality of life features such as:
- The removal of EDARs
- The removal of Spawn Raged FP and QP
- ZEDs cannot teleport around the map
- On Endless: the removal of Boom and Up Up and Decay waves
- Players drop all of their weapons when they die, instead of only the one they were holding
- Dropped weapons never despawn
- Players can view information about dropped weapons (owner, ammo, number of upgrades) by looking at them on the ground
- The ability to lock dropped weapons so no one else can pick them up. Stops people from stealing weapons and selling them.
- The ability to open the Trader pod remotely
- Increased movement speed during the Trader
- All healthbars for all teammates are visible at the bottom of the screen (great for Medics) -- a mod called FriendlyHUD made by peelz
Some vanilla features (such as weapon despawn and rage-on-spawn FP) are simply an annoyance and these changes serve to remedy those and make it feel more fun to play.
There are also UI/cosmetic changes:
- Custom chat box that supports emoji and text coloring/formatting
- Custom console
- Custom scoreboard
- ZED Time counter to show how many Commando extensions are remaining
- The ability to draw a crosshair (better than the default) onto the screen
- The ability to enable the HUD from Killing Floor 1
- The ability to change glow colors for money and dropped weapons
- .. and so much more. You can modify basically every visual element. Or you can turn them all off and make the game look like Vanilla KF2
TIME ATTACK
- Inspired by Left 4 Dead's Survival Mode
- The main objective is to survive as long as possible
- Players battle an infinite horde of increasing difficulty
- As time goes on, the max number of ZEDs that can be alive at once increases
- As time goes on, Bosses begin to spawn faster, and eventually multiple Bosses appear
- As time goes on, more Large ZEDs begin to spawn
- The trader opens at specific intervals, and players must make their purchases in real time
- Players can respawn and change perks during the trader
- Teamwork is critical to this mode, especially when dealing with multiple bosses
- Perk limits: 1 Medic, 1 Berserker, 2 of everything else maximum
- This is to preserve the integrity of records
- Records are kept by Tamari's bot that allows players to view the best times for every map
- The same system can be used to view stats and leaderboards related to Time Attack matches
- Once the game starts, anyone who joins is moved to spectator to prevent swapping players in/out or substitutions, and only players who were originally there can leave and come back
- This is to preserve the integrity of records
- Time Attack has Seasons. Each season lasts a month and adds minor variations to the gameplay to keep things refreshing. Leaderboards are wiped each season to encourage players to try old maps again on the new settings.
- Seasonal changes range from switching up the boss, to enabling Weekly Outbreak modifiers, or even increasing the difficulty scaling, as some examples

*my stats get resetted when i finally maxxed out all my perks*

[@digital107-_-]

The fact that some random person can make the game way more enjoyable to play than the actual devs is honestly sad.

[@Ryu-ei8vj]

Really shows the effort put into the game and updates

[@drymass9990]

Its kinda sad because back when the game was in its beta state, there was very clear passion put into the game like the mocap, 200 fps gun animations, the gore system. They put so much effort into the smallest of things and somehow i feel like because of that, they accidentally used up too much of their budget to make the game and ultimately had to cut content, add microtransactions and finally 10 dollar dlc weapons. Deep down there is a good game, the devs probably just got something fucked up so bad financially, they had to resort to having some scummy monetisation to keep the game afloat and doing the bare minimum when it comes to new content.

[@TacticalReaper56]

Yeah, I feel like if they could restart a new game they would have a better release.

[@cyberpunkdenton9497]

@Its Danny Kf2 is a newer game? Are you talking in comparison to skyrim or just on its own, cause I have been playing kf2 since 2016. Edit: "so yea these devs yea idk wth they are doing." If it is indeed in comparison(makes sense) then I don't really understand what you are trying to imply. Note: not challenging you, just want to know what you mean.

[@diggymgee]

@@drymass9990 no they never needed to sell dlc weapons. They chose to because they wanted more money for less effort.

[@tamari92]

Ayeeeeee. Thanks Rich, you're the man

I want to know how to be able to play this

can you get this on consol?

[@alilrevive7972]

I played it once, it’s difficult but fun

[@antviper135]

Can anyone play it?

[@DrSmoke2104]

I've always hated the luck factor in this game.. let's see if that's gonna change in these servers

[@davidmartinez-toribio6825]

I’ve been on them servers a few times. They are great. It’s so funny how it can really get an atmosphere of tense survival going really fast. Was with 3 doods all of us running +15 lvl Supports holding down 2 hallways. I recommend it for those who can be team players.

[@pinballpuppy]

There’s also a HUGE quality of life change for healers. There’s an icon on top of the character who you are locked onto, even if you’re hip firing it. You can’t see as clearly in the base game who you’re healing even if you’re locked onto them while ads. So this is a huge help.

[@soze230]

Thank you! I played kf2 on console after putting in say 90 days into payday 2. (This was because Gen/Steven played it so I thought I’d give it a shot) Played it on console for a little while and changed to pc and totally forgot how great a game it is! Definitely gonna be purchasing it on steam and levelling my sexy swat again to hop on these servers!

[@MORPHENE375]

Quality content till this day. Legit watch this on my breaks. Keep the content up man!

[@october7510]

Both of them deserve praise for this. I can't wait to see what they do with more time. Custom weapons? Custom perks? It's endlless what they could do.

[@tamari92]

:P thanks! We already have custom gamemodes and have plans to make more

[@linkbeta5]

I'm glad you made this video! I'm defintely going to be playing some of this "Time Attack" and get on those discords! Thanks Richard 😁

Good video sir. My favorite thing in KF2 is Nuked on Endless, just run around the map with the team and kill everything.

[@adwans1491]

Can someone suggest a Methode to find a good cosmetic loadout? The Shop System and steam Market arent good places to find new Stuff 😔

Hello, does anyone knows the name of the map that Richard is playing on in the video? It looks and feel so much better than what Tripwire make and made. Thank you in advance.

Another example of why are we paying tripwire $10 per gun when we do all the work?

Is this doable on EGS KF2? Cause i know a lot of features are removed for EGS users (id say not Tripwire s fault).

[@tamari92]

Sadly no. EGS players have no reliable way to download the mods

[@tamari92]

Tripwire could easily fix that but i don't think they will any time soon :(

For those who are from EUW like me, the ping on those servers is too high, but i rly wanna try this mod, there isn't a similar server playstyle in EU?

[@tamari92]

I've got some servers up in EU. The IPs can be found in my Discord

You can find the servers in the server browser. They should be near the top now due to some spaces being put in front of the Tamari. Alternatively, you can also find all of the server IPs in tamari's discord.

are any of the quality of life mods public?

[@cheff4154]

I can't find them. Let me know if you do

[@BluehTheOneKid]

Is there any way that this can pushed to come official or at the very least more accessible to everyone who might be willing to host servers of this sort? Of course the people behind this have done a tonne of work themselves in order to make this happen, but as someone who hosts a server themselves I would love to be able to push these changes into my own. Understandable that you would like to keep most of the work as your own but considering that the community is relatively small as it is and that documentation when it comes to properly modding servers and implementing mutations is fairly limited to just plain bad: I feel like it's a massive disservice to a lot of the community that you haven't made some of this stuff more open source. Australian by the way so there is legit no way I am going to play on 300+ ping servers, especially not when already hosting my own.

[@tamari92]

It's not so much that we don't want to give anything out as it is that the methods we are using to allow the server to remain ranked - must - stay private. I believe Forrest wants to release some of his mods for public use at a later time, but no such plans exist at the moment.

[@bunslinger]

time attack is literally what i thought endless was going to be

[@draketheviewer6779]

I did notice that the servers are now Hard or Hell on Earth only. It kinda makes me hesitant to play them, I'm not sure if I'm badass enough to play HOE yet.

[@tamari92]

If you hop on Discord and send me a DM, I have no problems setting one of the servers to Sui for ya :)

[@soysauce4813]

I'm debating if I should get this game on Xbox, but I'm not sure if the console version isnt as good as PC in any way. If anyone has anything to say to convince me yay or nay that would be helpful.

[@Hanfgurkenhasser]

All I ever wanted was being able to modify how many Zeds spawned, how quickly they (re)spawned and to get rid off this god awful perma sprinting on Sui and HoE. Honestly, the sprinting changes made in Treacherous Skies back in summer 2018 have completely driven me away from a game that I have played for nearly 1000 hours. Imagine that, playing a game for hours on end to pretty much stopping. It became that unenjoyable to me. Sadly, I think the servers don't provide the option to disable or at least tone down sprinting, do they? Nevertheless, good video - the changes overall vastly improve the experience. ...now if only they could get rid off f*cking sprinting Cysts and Sirens. And Bloats.
