Where are the game mechanics you said we'd have

[neat dock]

The respawn system was supposed to be after you die you possess another human until your team runs out of lives. That's gone. Instead we have a class and cosmetic system.

"We’ve worked hard to keep each match fresh, so there are several ways for humans to win the match: they can either keep the majority of citizens alive throughout the match, flee the town, or - my favorite - take the fight to the Klowns. If your team decides to fight back, you will have to sneak inside the Big Top spaceship, sabotage its systems, and destroy the cotton candy neon pink power core to make Killer Klowns vulnerable and put them on the run. Doing that removes the Klowns of their ability to respawn."

I like the game we have, but it feels like if you tried to make Friday the 13th again, but forgot to add the cabins and made escaping somehow easier and more annoying at the same time.

Yes I know there's houses but realistically when have you ever had to hide in a house, or when has that ever been a good choice.

And the kills suck, like worst part of the game suck, killing a human is 10 times easier then trying to use one of the cotton candy guns. And the incentive to actually bring them to a hook afterwards is minimal.

Too much dead by daylight inspiration, escapes are guaranteed which I don't think anybody likes, there was nothing more fun that getting chased while you were in the car or in the boat in the 13th.

that entire aspect of the game was back when teravision was working with good shepherd entertainment before good shepherd got replaced with illfonic

while this isn't confirmed, it seems pretty likely that things changed during that transfer process

i prefer the original idea too

[neat dock]

I hope eventually we get even half of the original idea back

[hardy stratus]

i honestly don't see it happening given how the game currently is

while i very much like the game as is, the original idea was much more exciting cuz it gave off the idea that you were actually going to be....playing the invasion and not just the aftermath of an invasion

[neat dock]

Very much feels like we're playing against the cleanup crew

[neat dock]

Why do I feel like the most content update we're ever going to get is a new map

[brisk pier]

Couldn't agree more with all that was said. Escaping is way too easy as a human. Finding weapons is either too easy or too difficult I've noticed, like I either find 3 already loaded revolvers in a match or I can't find any good weapons if I'm too far from the meeting point. Escapes and hiding needs work too. Almost no one is going to hide in a closet or container when it's better to hide in bushes, etc. and I agree there needs to be more incentive to cocoon humans somehow

The game does not really need another map in my opinion, let alone another cosmetic item or character unless it's going to be something from the movie that isn't in the game already

[unreal path]

if you scroll down a bit i made a suggestion which the klowns are able to drink the blood from the humans after they die giving them a health boost and possibly a speed boost too.

[brisk pier]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea if the crazy straw is involved which seems to be missing from the game if I'm not mistaken?

[vagrant adder]

The quote provided here was made when GSG was the publisher. Illfonic has since become the new publisher.

[neat dock]

And illfonic did what it always does, put out a half developed horror game with mixed reviews.

[neat dock]

I feel like spots to find things should be more sensible, like finding a gun in a house, or a fire poker in a place that would actually make sense. I honestly think the execution system should be made limited per match, It does not make sense for the klowns to kill all the humans. A very limited group of people were executed in the movie.

[brisk pier]

Yeah definitely. And the fire poker is a weird one for sure. Maybe more hiding places in the house like under the bed, just add more places for Klowns to look. They have done things like make hooking up a cocoon have more XP than killing a human but people don't seem to care about this

[neat dock]

No one actually cares about XP in games, they care about causing the most damage with the least amount of effort, and hooking a human takes too long and doesn't feel toxic enough for most klowns to go for it.

[brisk pier]

Yeah unfortunately true.

[neat dock]

I mean the XP is a factor, but it's more like, oh that's cool after the match. No ones really focusing on optimizing the output

[brisk pier]

What if Klowns only had one life and had to be resurrected somehow like humans? Maybe they would be less careless

[neat dock]

I think they should bring back the sabotaging clown respawn mechanic

[neat dock]

I feel like that would just make them kill all humans instead of cocooning any of them

Too much risk

Make cocooning downed players almost instant, and limit executions per match. That's the only thing I could think would work.

[brisk pier]

It is almost instant if you know what you're doing, I can cocoon someone within 4 seconds with the Pentashot

[neat dock]

Not to mention make the revive machine easier, I've not had a single match where somebody used that apart from player launch day

[neat dock]

Yeah, but I mean like a actual boost to cocoon speed on downed players

Like twice as effective

[brisk pier]

Well there is the boosted speed if 2 Klowns cocoon someone at the same time but that is the closest to what you are saying

But the problem with cocooning is humans leave matches because they don't have the patience to be potentially rescued or revived if they die. Personally I think they need to add a shorter match, like 7 minutes and I think that would solve a lot of problems

[neat dock]

I think they leave the match because there isn't a chance of getting rescued or revived, the indicator that there's somebody hooked is just bad, and again, no one actually uses the revive machine

I think they need to make escapes actually make sense, and harder at the same time.

[brisk pier]

I see people use the revive machine like every other match myself, but usually not that many people get revived because they escaped

[neat dock]

The bridge collapsing by somebody walking on it? The bunker only holding four people? It's all dumb.

[brisk pier]

Definitely agree with that. I get the boat only holding 3 people

[neat dock]

That's another thing, It's punishing to escape early as a human, because you just have to sit there all match

There should be like some way that escaped people come back

[brisk pier]

Again I just think they need a shorter match, would solve that problem too

[neat dock]

Like there's nothing worse then having to sit there all match because you found all the stuff for the boat early

I don't know about that

I don't even like klown apocalypse as a mechanic

It feels lazy, and more then half the time the ice cream truck doesn't even show up, and when it does sometimes there's no indicator for it.

I feel like the game needs a tommy Jarvis or something

That's what kept people from leaving in the Friday the 13th

[finite iris]

Officer Dan summon would be cool. Also a Klownzilla summon.

[brisk pier]

I think if you escaped early or even escaped at all you should have the option to get your XP and move onto the next match

[neat dock]

Great idea

[neat dock]

I don't know how the klownzila summon would work, but officer Dan seems self explanatory

Either a radio you find in game or just a chance after you escape

[brisk pier]

The ice cream truck doesn't show if Klownpocalypse was triggered early

[neat dock]

I also wish the klown apocalypse was sped up by mini game and not by hooking random pods

[finite iris]

Pull an Officer Dan card and u show up in game as him with a Shotgun and ammo and a lot of health.

[neat dock]

I know

It still doesn't show usually

[brisk pier]

As a human or as a Klown? I've seen that but before but only once

[neat dock]

Human

[ashen shard]

The game just posted a short clip of a what seems like an old build of the game due to the icons and UI being the old version but something I noticed was the THERE WAD A FORTH TRICK??

It seems like the passive every class was so supposed to be unique to them?

[neat dock]

Yeah, it's definitely weird we only have 3 when it's very clear the fourth one is just a empty slot

[ashen shard]

It’s pretty confusing to me if we were going to get the unique class passives or we were just going to be able to pick two different tricks? Which would be really weird to be able to pick two out of five abilities?

The UI for the tricks is clearly missing the fourth trick I hope the gameplay features for this months update adds them, or maybe the ones later one
