I just saw another post asking the same thing and I wanna ask the same thing with more detail. I fell in love with KF1 and KF2 also, recently passed more hours in KF2 than KF1, and probably exceeded my KF1 playtime by like 200h in KF2. Apparently it's $8.32 rn, that's pretty good. If that's USD that would be like... $11 CAD? still not bad. Edit: it's on sale for $26 CAD which is like $18.25 USD. Digital deluxe is $39 CAD and Elite Nightfall is $52. I won't be buying it until base game goes on sale for $15 or less, but I still wanna know about the things I'm asking here. Also, is the digital deluxe worth it at all, if that goes on sale at a reasonable price? What does that include? Same questions for Elite Nightfall.

What are the major pros and cons of KF3 compared to KF2?

Some info/more questions:

I can run KF2 fine on lowest settings, though many of the stock maps give me FPS drops even with lowest settings. I mostly play custom maps or KF1 maps anyway though. Will I be able to run KF3 without it being so slow that it ruins the experience? I dont mind lowering settings to minimum, gameplay > graphics for me.

My favourite part of KF2 by far is the increased variety in perks/playstyles from KF1; cross-perk weapons, customizable perk skills... I'm not a very skillful melee player so having access to ranged zerker weapons via the DLC (namely frost fang and piranha pistols. The teslauncher is kinda booty) is awesome, just as an example. Plus the evisverator, KF2s non-DLC ranged weapon and version of the buzzsaw bow, is kind of ass. You can't use the ironsight/crosshair, and it just feels clunky, slow and underpowered compared to the KF1 Buzzsaw bow that could one-shot bit zeds (maybe not on HoE but I never playes that difficulty in KF1). The laser sight is so hard to aim with especially when zerker is a perk meant for constant mobility. So, anyways, how is the perk variety in KF3? I don't mind that certain perks are restricted to certain characters, I just wanna know about the actual skill trees, weapon variety, and how the weapon customization affects gameplay.

How are the maps? Are they all stock maps? Any community/custom maps?

How difficult is HoE compared to KF2? How about Suicidal, Hard, Normal? Honestly after playing lots and lots of solo HoE in KF2, playing hard feels like childs play and even suicidal is quite easy. Then again I havent played online in weeks, I know 6p Suicidal can be quite chaotic.

So as the title says, I'm (transfeminine, 27, about 4.5 months on oral estrogen) switching from cipralex (escitalopram) to effexor XR (venlaxafine) starting tomorrow. I have been on 10mg escitalopram for several months, been on the drug for a total of about 1.5 years. Tried 20mg but it gave me an increase in suicidal ideation so I went back down. I also have ADHD and take 60mg vyvanse daily. I also am on naltrexone 50mg per day, but about to reduce to 25mg per day before I come off of it completely (after 60 days based on the scrip my psychiatrist gave me). I have GAD, SAD, and major depressive disorder, as well as autism. I also self-medicate using CBD for general stress, as I am recently sober from cannabis (about 5 weeks), but am weaning off the CBD, currently at max 50mg per day.

I will be starting with 37.5mg effexor per day for 10 days, then going up to 75mg.

What should I expect? Answers can be as general or specific as you like, just looking to get a feel for how this transition might be, especially if anyone has been through a similar transition from an SSRI to an SNRI.

TL;DR Tomorrow I switch from escitalopram to venlaxafine after about 1.5 years on escitalopram. Also on vyvanse for adhd. What changes should I expect?

Anyone know of any servers for KF1 that aren't subject to constant crashing, due to what I believe are frequent DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks? I love KF2 but sometimes it lags or the framerate drops significantly, especially on maps that aren't custom or originally from KF1. would love to be able to find a KF1 server or servers where I can consistently play a round to completion without the server almost always crashing after a few waves.

I dont keep track of exact dates for this kind of thing (I tried and couldnt keep up with it for the life of me). I just know it will be 6 years in the fall. I used it for about a 5 to 6 month period in my life, and I am so happy that I was able to stop using thanks to circumstance when I did. I was about to wade into the deep end of hard drugs. I still have a long way to go towards sobriety but I still feel really good about the fact that I've stayed clean for years from the most fiendish and addictive drug I've ever done. Idk what else to say , this isnt meant to be deep or introspective or anything I just wanted to share my happiness about this milestone. Stay safe and hydrated y'all
