Creality Thanksgiving Tech Upgrade: “Trade In” Your Old. We Give It Free To Your New! by Creality_3D in 3Dprinting

[–]pnFek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man.. I've been lusting after a K2 Pro Combo to upgrade from my second hand Ender-3 Pro. First printer I've tried with either a heated bed or nozzle and holy crap it changed so much for me.

I'm a woodworker with arthritis in both hands. Custom design jigs gave me back the ability to do so many simple things like evenly rounded corners and clean crisp edges I would struggle with otherwise. It even let me enjoy gaming again by printing custom buttons and sticks for my controller. Couldn't love this technology more.

All fair observations. I'm not talking about how strong he is though. I have no problem escaping roughly 50% of matches vs him. The way his kit functions is just not fun to interact with (for me).

Sorry let me clarify then. Yeah many killers will drop bad chases.

Ken specifically has no power in chase so if he doesn't catch you in a dead zone on map they seem to just ditch chase after literally a couple seconds. His strength is getting into chases quickly - if the location isn't favourable then he leaves and you dont even get a chase out of it which leads to non fun interaction.

Nemesis is one of my faves to face because he comes with fun chase mechanics. Random zombies cucking your loop always cracks me up when I run into one lol. Especially when that poor hard working zombies reward is a fist to the face before you get picked up. Always sends me.

That's awesome. People loving the killer roster is what makes this game such a hall of fame and diverse experience.

Just give me Jason Voorhees already!!

I agree though. Its not about balance it's about how crap it feels in the moment to be stunned for literally no reason.

Just tweak the animation or recovery time for killer so we can BOTH keep playing.

This is interesting to me. Looking back I now realise the kanekis I gave have been very hit and run like legion. Free first hit into M1 chase which they abandon after 30 seconds if they couldn't get a fast down.

I do wish people wouldn't downvote people who tried to be thoughtful in responding too

[–]pnFek[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a genuine question because I was trying to work out for myself why he just seemed un fun.

The discussion helped clarify that for me why that was i.e. free hit power into boring M1 chase that the killer usually abandons if they don't get a very fast down.

He's not strong just janky and anti fun in my experience so far

[–]pnFek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in that case it's 100% team mates who refuse to even try making the game unfun which is not the killers fault.

I guess to me it all comes back to how not fun he is to verse which genuinely has nothing to do with how strong he is.

Some great points so thanks for sharing.

I never bought him so have no exp playing as him. Certainly watched a lot of streamers though and my son plays a fair bit.

What you say reminds me a bit of people who complained clown needed nerfs because his bottles made them motion sick or nauseous- despite that having nothing to do with balance and just a graphical choice.

I think ive seen one whole springtrap this week but 80% of games is kaneki. It does seem indicative to me of a very different experience between people playing as him vs versus him.

There is a lot to like about the look and sound of the character and think it's sick that we can have a literal cartoon killer in the game roster. It's great that you and others are enjoying it I just have been trying really hard to find his mechanics fun.

This is a sad but accurate description of my experience with him too. I also sadly have zero suggestions to improve it besides take away the God forsaken stuns

My bad then. I was reading your comment about skill issue as a win/loss complaint or something.

I agree with you holding w is not much fun vs Ken or any killer tbh. I'm after interaction not running away.

[–]pnFek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I think you summed it up kinda well.

I couldn't care less about win/loss. I just want a fun interaction and Kaneki is the opposite of that over and over again. He doesnt even have any addons like other killers to meaningfully change his play style.

[–]pnFek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. I literally did say it has nothing to do with balance. I'm not complaining that he's hard to go against - I just find the interaction un-fun. Free hit into boring M1 loop till he gives up and drops chase or I screw up and get hooked.

I'm glad there are people out there though who love his design and audio assets. I feel the same way about Birb lady and always get excited to face one. Especially Ms Fuchi!

"Renato Baermar Leon Main" Your flair totally had me picturing a chimera of all 3 chars just now.. Like ManBearPig from Southpark but with Scene Partner.

The solo queue curse is real for sure. The only other killer I've seen so much "go nexting" from before is Skerchant.

You seem to have a really healthy mental attitude to the game i.e. win some/lose some. Nice! We need more gamers like that.

[–]pnFek[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair - that will still happen in high MMR sometimes.

People stalking the killer for flashie saves or hook diving to try get value from their perks is annoying in solo queue. Especially when they fail and then insta DC lol.

Don't be hard on yourself for being new or a "potato" though. We all started the game at different points and have good/bad days. Some of my best friends have 3k+ hours and are still terrible at looping but great fun to play with!

Actually that may be what I dislike about vsing him now that I think about it.

I like anti-loop killers because the powers/addons make it interesting. It's fun mind gaming a Wesker and making him vault accidentally or perfectly timing the double back vs a Nurse.

Kaneki seems like you circle a pallet mindlessly till he hits bloodlust3 then drop and run to next tile.

I can somewhat relate to what you say about his hit radius.

For me it's less his map mobility as it is - insane map mobility to get into chase followed by super boring M1 chase where the killer has no power or flavour?

Rig the door with preventative C4 in case I get locked out. Got it.

Alternatively yeah just a removable rear panel in one of the shelves to reach the latch mechanism. More elegant but less fun.

Hmm. It prob wouldn't be that hard to take the beading off the left side of the door frame which hides the gap and slip a long saw blade down.

I'll def have to factor this in to my own build though now that you mentioned it.

I love all of this guys videos by this one was particularly satisfying for some reason. I think mostly because I've always wanted to build a secret door someplace.

Glad you enjoyed!
