So how many people actually said that the slower speed was good? Just because there are people that aren’t complaining doesn’t mean that they actually enjoy the slower speed. Just that they’re tolerating it. For now.

Is the real reason because of server issues, and the fast movement speed causes desync between players? And thus people get killed when they “shouldn’t”? Because if so, then tell us that, rather than saying that ‘the data supports’ it. I can’t think of any player who thinks the slower speed makes the experience more enjoyable.

And I just noticed that you changed the hp from 200 to 250. Or at least, that’s what I’m assuming the change was. My previous comment was that if the starting hp was 100, then the double made it 200, a good compromise would be 150 hp. Not an additional 50 hp added ontop of it. Especially when the gun damage isn’t balanced to the new hp. Just makes the slow matches take even longer, especially with the slower movement speed.

Wow, as far as I can tell (unless you can walk faster with a weapon other than smg) its impossible to get the bash on Pirate ship without boosters (or another bash, lol)

The Dev Team is still listening to what you’re saying. We’re still waiting for all the data to come back in and we’re collecting responses from all our other platforms, not just players on Kongregate. Once we have all this information we’ll give a full response as to the direction the game will take in regards to the changes and features implemented thus far.

In the meantime while we’re collecting data and responses, the Dev team will continue to primarily focus on bug fixing followed, performance fixes and small scale updates.

About the experimental features, they were implemented simply as an experiment while we track data and other factors. It is still on-going and means that things may be continued in being tweaked either back to original values or somewhere in between. Once it is over, like we’ve said previously, we’ll evaluate everything then. Once that is done, we’ll give a full response.

Since these changes are still in the experimental testing phase, the issue that you spotted along with others with be resolved based on the final implementation. Currently everything that has been added is not guaranteed to stay or go. However we appreciate you pointing it out.

Aww i was gonna report that

But wait! Flamethrower makes it. Lighte thanSMG and Im pretty sure Shotgun 2000 is lighetr and chainsaw, but havent tested yet.

Higher HP= health packs are less useful.
Why don’t you delete the sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow speed?(I was back for 1 match, but I won’t play again until it’s fixed)

Booster Bloo

I keep checking back playing matches to see if the slow speed experiment ended. And according to whoever was using the Spicyhorse account at the time pretty much said never.

Apparently people are playing ‘three times as long’ due to not dying as fast.

But then, there was also the added 50 hp at the same time, which I think had at least a little to do with it. Can we at least try a little faster movement speed? Not one that is as fast as it was, since apparently that won’t ever happen. But just a bit faster than it is now?

Delete these annoying changes, everyone is quiting.(= less players = more quits because noone is online = less players etc…)

Only got into this maybe a week ago, very fun game and doesn’t take long at all to get better at. The game barely works on my laptop, pretty random movement and shooting, but it works perfectly fine on my other computer. Could be my problem, could be the game’s.

My major concern is the “trial” period for the 3 weapons bestowed by the mystery crate. It would be great to have these weapons avilable permanently, or even just one permanent weapon. We have to go through the 3 quests a day 5 days in a row, total of 15 quests, something a bit longer lasting would be nice.

The experimental testing period is over in regards to the changes with speed and health.

On 11/26 we’ve implemented the new Game Speed settings configuration to BHB.

This allows players to choose which match style they prefer. See the image below. Players can play on the new default settings or choose the same settings as Beta or 1 speed faster.

This was a great compromise, thank you.

Now if only people would stop abusing the tea cannon in Extreme mode!

Dear Spicyhorse,

I am talking about daily quest rewards. This is my question: One day, will you be able to do some great and let it
like that?

Stop destroying things to get money please.

What the freaking has happened to Extreme Mode??!! Today i just wanted to see what kind of updates had came, then i put the Extreme mode and go play, and then when i saw the movement speed i closely got an heart attack. What has happened?!

not just that extreme mode plays like normal mode, and normal mode is a whole new level of annoying. this includes hp and speed.
