ABOUT Huwhyte HoE+ and CD

Announcements and discussions regarding Huwhyte KF2 HoE+ and CD servers

There's a game here on Steam called "Killing Floor 2". It's a coop 6 player zombie apocalypse type of game without much lore, but with lots of non-stop no-BS zombie shooting. Players play over the internet on servers, some of which are community servers, hosted by players. This group is used to post announcement about the "Huwhyte" community servers. The "Old School HoE+" servers are modded in order to significantly ramp up the difficulty. The servers are absolutely elitist and cater to veterans of the game and provide more of an old school gameplay, the way the game was roughly before summer 2017, but harder.

I’ve felt sorry for newer players in this game, because they get kicked out from HoE+ for bottomfragging and retarded play all the time, so Ive designed a “Balanced HoE” game mode for them. The “Balanced HoE” game mode is roughly equal to the vanilla HoE in difficulty, but adjusted to be less frustrating to play. These servers are noob friendly and typically elitists won't kick you from there for bottomfragging or any rules violations.

For those who are looking to step up to Controlled Difficulty game modes, “Open CD” servers are also available with the most popular CD builds. The servers are located physically in North America, specifically, in New York City and Northern Virginia.

There's a whole reading floor in the announcements and discussions sections about this game if you are into it.

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

TWI are at it again

14 March - Poor huwhyte Carl | 0 Comments

In the recent days, already after the announcement about the KF3 release delay was made, TWI's "community" "manager" Yoshiro went on another rampage on Steam discussions censoring user made content.

Here are at least these 2 threads links that were deleted:

"Gibson was a legend"
https://steamproxy.net/app/1430190/discussions/0/594009760474404595/

"franchise became terrible and directionless"
https://steamproxy.net/app/1430190/discussions/0/603024176009256565/

Who knows how many others were deleted. Who knows how many dedicated fans were banned. A typical justification put for these censorship actions is "This thread has been deemed not helpful and antagonistic and is being closed".

Does the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ even understand the meaning of words?

"Not being helpful" is oxymoron here. Almost all their fans wish the best for the franchise and are ready to spend their hard earned money on it. Nobody wants them to make a ♥♥♥♥ DOA game that doesn't sell. I haven't actually seen a single attempt at intentional gaslighting trying to steer TWI down a wrong path. Almost all feedback I've seen, and I carefully read all of it, seems genuine and I would say that >50% of it is even non retarded.

Their fans are trying to help them, by criticizing bad thing so the studio becomes aware and works on what's bad. They also praise what's good, so the studio doesn't spend effort on improving it further, as it's good enough already. Yet, the retarded "community" "manager" can't grasp this simple idea of negative feedback being also helpful.

He's like a patient who has a rupture in vermiform appendix who fights back a surgeon trying to help because why would a benign person come at them with a knife, LMAO?

Another retarded word to use is "antagonistic". ♥♥♥♥♥, please. Naturally, any discussion implies antagonism, as if there were no at least 2 diverging opinions there would be nothing to discuss and these Steam forums are called "Discussions" for a reason.

If they wanted no antagonism they should clearly put into the rules that only ass kissing is allowed. If someone doesn't like some feature or direction the game is heading they should just shut up and swallow what's being offered.

I encourage every user whose content was nuked and their accounts banned to complain to Steam. Not likely to help, but at least it builds up a history of TWI unhinged censorship. May help down the road.

Overall, this shows that this announcement, like many before, are mostly empty words. They aren't listening to anything, they post this garbage mostly to just alleviate the pressure in an official way, while still banning their most dedicated fans behind the scenes and nuking their content.

PATHETIC.

Still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥

PK brought up this retarded comment by TWI's "community" "manager" Yoshiro on TWI's official forums from last year.

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3444237041

The context is the overwhelming and passionate opposition of their fanbase to the "specialist" idea that ties classes to characters.

You would think first that it's in the best gamedev studio interest to rely on what their fans value in their games. But no.

Then, you would think that okay, if they think they can make more money off of selling skins for diverse character set, they at least wouldn't frame it as there are some kind of unknown fans nobody ever heard of they poll behind the scenes to learn that they are a very significant and sizable group, so it makes sense for the studio to introduce the specialists to pander to this group. But, again, no. They do frame it as pandering to these unknown fans.

Now, due to mass preorder cancels and overall vastly negative feedback to the beta, they have to officially admit that they screwed up with the specialist idea and promise to roll it back:

"... we can confirm that an update allowing you to independently select your perk class and character is planned for post-release"

https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php?threads/an-update-regarding-killing-floor-3.2341496/

So it turns out that yes, this widely articulated fan opinion that specialists suck does indeed has basis in reality. It's just Yoshiro was talking out of his ass.

Yes, almost everyone, 90% of the fanbase to be specific, hate the specialist idea. It's just Yoshiro was talking out of his ass.

Why would he do that? One of the primary functions of intelligence is ability to measure reality accurately and make truthful statements about it. Here Yoshiro spectacularly fails at it and not for the first time, which makes a pattern. The previous example was the hilariously stupid decision to merge a fan made poll into the specialist dump thread which put the fan made poll into the main message of the post, making it look official.

Say, he was a prudent man who wouldn't want to talk out of his ass. In this case he would abstain from making such statements. He would avoid boasting about knowing for real what fans do want and they actually want the specialists. But he didn't. Why? Simply because he's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

But, he's been with the company for like 20 years, we have to pay respects for that. Imagine how many other blunders did he have plenty of opportunities to make. During all these years Gibson didn't fire him, although he should've, as well as all the other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ working on behind the scenes on colluding to kick him out of his own company. Gibson had to put up with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and slackers out of his christian compassion, only to get backstabbed and pushed out of the company in return.

This is why it's important to part ways with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If one puts up with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they eventually gang up and through their sheer numbers overwhelm you and kick you out of your whole life's effort. Only to ruin it in the end, as they are still clueless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they always were.

One can tolerate ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ only as long as they know their place. Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥ should be aware they are retarded and if they don't know something for sure they should ask less retarded people, like Gibson himself, what should they do. Too bad they ganged up and kicked him out. So if Yoshiro wanted to seek valuable advice on how to frame the specialist situation he has nobody to check with.

In general, if the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aren't called out on their retardation, they gradually grow to think they are no less capable and start making calls themselves with long term negative consequences of their stupid calls. This is what we have here. This is how companies go bankrupt.

And don't tell me "Carl, you are too harsh on poor Yoshiro, give him some slack". No, dudes. I love this game and I love this franchise. I appreciate the ideas and work Alex Quick, John Gibson and others put to make it reality. Right now, in front of all of us, the studio is ruining their own franchise. They are ruining what I love. Not only that, they are ruining their own future which may lead to their bankruptcy. Simply because they allow ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to make retarded choices without calling them out on their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Well, if they don't call them out on their BS, I have to (after PK did that in the chat, of course). That's what I do here.
