A Commentator/Competitors Opinion on the New Level 4 Enders

Add awesomeness?

I felt the same way when it was mentioned the reason they didnā€™t reuse one of Tuskā€™s old move set was because they felt it was a goofy animation.

Iā€™ve thought about this a bit as well. Like, what if instead of a SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK tone associated with punches and regular body strikes, they did a heavy bass filled BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM more akin to a shotgun or a cannon?

Hey everyone,

Wow, lots of stuff to cover here!

The Ender Camera System you saw on the stream is basically the shiny, new system launching with Season 3.

Those of you who have known us for awhile also know that we listen and make adjustments to community feedback, especially stuff posted on these forums. We did a bunch of that in Season 2 and weā€™ll do more in Season 3. Usually we wait until a feature ships to make improvements or adjustments to it, since the impression someone gets from seeing something vs playing it can be completely different things. But in this case, weā€™ve decided to go ahead and announce that our first community feature will be the ability to toggle Ender Cameras On or Off in Content Update 3.1!

Hopefully this alleviates your concerns while you wait to get your hands on Season 3!

Best,

Kraig

Thank you based Kraig. Thank you based IG.

Thanks for taking time to listen to our concerns and set out to find a reasonable solution. This is why I can 100% recommended Killer Instinct to anybody who will listen, and canā€™t wait to get my hands on Season 3.

I would like to ask for clarification here:

If we have ā€œEnder Camerasā€ off, does this mean that level 4 enders will act just like they do in S2? Because turning off ā€œender camerasā€ could mean a number of things, including the black screen remaining and other such things.

I like that idea of having it as kill only. Whoever came up with that idea.

That was great, i feel happy that devs still listen to us!

Iā€™ll believe it when I see it. Howā€™s that?

Dear Kreig (and by association the rest of the development team behind Killer Instinct Season 3),
Iā€™d like to thank you for listening. I know there are both fans and detractors of the new ender animations, so allowing people the option to switch between them is quite thoughtful of you. My Season 3 hype is in full swing again, especially knowing that people will be able to tailor their experience to their tastes. More options is always better, I always say. Heck, while Iā€™m currently not a fan, knowing that I have the option to use either effect has warmed me up to the idea of having these new enders a bit. :blush:
Thanks again for being great. You guys seem like just as much a part of the community as any one of us. Season 3 will remain at the top of my ā€˜Most Anticipated Games of the Yearā€™ list. Love you guys.

Sincerely,
Fwufikins.

P.S: Iā€™d also like to thank everyone who took part in respectful discussion on this subject, on either side of the argument. Hopefully we can bury the hatchet and get our hype train under way at full speed yet again. A little conflict wonā€™t be enough to split up this community.

Waitā€¦is this for S3 launch or the update after?

After, so 3.1; most likely later April.
