Fix the popcorn gun

[slate oar]

Make it track for longer, So that part of it is actually viable, and either remove walking while charging it or lower the speed of it. Because at the moment it's impossible to counter without a shotgun or revolver.

Too often Klowns just follow you around with the popcorn launcher, staying out of reach because they can wind it and move at the same time, so if you just have a melee weapon you are screwed.

I really dislike that play style of back peddling with the popcorn gun but the nerf kinda killed that play style, and the whole weapon itself? I do think they need to balance it by adding some type of buff while nerfing that play style?

The big issue I have with it, is it’s too oppressive when chasing down a single person making chases unfun when you can’t do anything about it, but it’s horrible in any combat situation.

Even in a one on one with a human, it’s extremely bad if the human has something as basic as wrench simple because of the 3 second delay each shot has. If I remember correctly it’s take at least 6 shots to down a human which gives the human 18 seconds to take you down before then??

[slate oar]

The nerf did not kill that Play style, as I typed that out right after getting killed by a klown like that in the first 5 minutes of the match, the axe and knife I had found were completely useless.

[slate oar]

As long as your back pedaling right now with the way things are, a wrench is not going to ever win. And the human gets to sit there for 5 minutes getting pummeled by popcorn because there isn't really any counter.

[keen cliff]

it’s way too oppressive sometimes when it’s ether on a single human or a map with a lack of cover.

[slate oar]

There isn't really any map with cover to be honest, like the fair has windows everywhere, I guess the police station, but most the time they can just come around the corner shoot you quickly, and then backpedal anyway

[keen cliff]

I don’t use it often and I’m not sure if it’s like this in the game but in this old clip it seems like your movement speed would slow down after every shot? Not sure if it would fix it but maybe something to look into?

[slate oar]

Pretty much everything in this game used to be better than it currently is.

[keen cliff]

Yeah a lot of stuff was changed but the devs do have a lot of fixing and balancing to do, I just really hope they listen to the community’s feedback and criticisms.

[slate oar]

It's really up to Terravision, might have a chance of changing things, illfonic is notorious for leaving games it's a part of content light and bug heavy.

[keen cliff]

Sadly true, I played and loved ghostbusters spirits unleashed but they left that game on content droughts for months.

The worst part is, most of their games aren’t even bad they just needed to add consistent updates

[slate oar]

I'd disagree to be honest

Play a game that has illfonic on the cover always feels like you're playing something that was half finished

Doesn't make the games necessarily bad I suppose, but there is a reason none of em ever score well

[keen cliff]

It’s so strange tbh? Its does feel like that with all their games

[slate oar]

And the worst part is, they always make unlocks take way too long, like I don't want to be playing the game for 1000 hours to get a skin for my knife

Thousand is obviously an overstatement, but you get the point

[keen cliff]

Yeah even some of the unlocks in this game are ridiculous

Like grabbing someone out of hiding place three times??

[slate oar]

Yeah that's impossible

No one hides in this game

And if they do they do it in a bush

Another thing that annoys me is the level requirements for the classes and the clowns

[keen cliff]

Yup without the hard skill checks that could give your whole position away

[slate oar]

Like I get it for the weapons, but it's not like any of the clowns are really better than the last clown, their classes they're meant to be balanced.

[keen cliff]

Yeah they kinda are, I kinda saw it as a grind and goal to go for but now that I’m like level 178 are they going to something else for levels to grind for?

[slate oar]

So I have to wait till level 37 to get the tank, who is the only clown I could possibly stand playing because the rest of them are too ugly

I'm very much a twice a week player for context

Weekend gamer

[keen cliff]

Yup consistent updates always make the game way more fun. I really dislike that about recent live service games that do it like very month or two

[slate oar]

I don't mind the game not having consistent updates, but back in the day, instead of having to have consistent updates, they would just put out a full game at launch instead of putting out 1/10th of a game

[keen cliff]

So I don’t have a screenshot of it, but you were supposed to be able prestige a Klown a get a “gold skin” for them for how much levels you got on them

[slate oar]

Like if we're paying 40 bucks for a game, I'd at least like to have 60 hours of content and not just purposely spaced out content to make up for the lack of it

[slate oar]

We were supposed to have a lot of things

[keen cliff]

The sad part is a lot of cool stuff will probably go to waste, as long as they can deliver with each update from the road map they’ve show it’ll get better tho

[slate oar]

Actual townspeople to cocoon for one

Instead of just picking up the remains of them

[keen cliff]

Yeah, the whole game was shifted from an invasion to more of the clean up crew

[slate oar]

Game was supposed to be ground breaking, turned into another dead by daylight wannabe

[keen cliff]

It might be silly to think this, but I hope one day they could bring it as its own game mode?

[slate oar]

Game is already losing its playerbase even if they do.
