A debatable topic about quick claims.

#21

Hmm maybe but it would be only reinforcing the dumb potatoes that the FT are trying to punish.

#22

Play with me and I guarantee that you’ll be the second person the pred goes after. For whatever reason I always find the pred when I’m not trying to and if not then I’m the first one getting attacked.

Maybe it’s because I was testing the new OWLF and Prototype, that I somehow got a Big Red X on skull

#24

Thats what im saying missions would have to be longer in order to promote slow plays and give predator time to breath and strategies.

#25

naw… I’d say 90% of the preds we kill in under 3 minutes is because they make the mistake of quick claiming in front of everyone.

but at the same time I understand that at the state the game is now, they need to do it because even against 2 decent players, the pred will suffer. So they need to take as much FT as they can out of the equation as soon as possible.

#26

Ya. I agree with that, and quite a few of us have wanted that for months actually.

As far as changing up claiming tho, I dont think it should be changed.
Its risky enough as it anyway.

The Key Word “Play as a team”, I read enough horror stories in this forum about potatoes that doesn’t do jack shit.

Honestly I dont blame them really, I play as predator too (as you can see in my profile pic) and I did experience FT speedrunning through missions in under 3mins I had no choice but to rush and end them luckily I tend to win those kind of scenarios, but if only this game had a better mission design and a thorough and strict tutorial, many of those ‘potatoes’ would stand a chance against us.

I think quick claims should be left alone. Even with quick claim if FT’s actually pay attention you can second wind a viking before he finishes the animation. So, why nerf it because you have braindead FT’s that can’t watch each others backs? Instead of suggesting nerfs on Predator and stuff suggest some nerf’s for FT’s or buffs for Preds

Ok here is a buff and a nerd
Predator can quick claim on second down, but Iron sides is a passive not a perk

#31

That’s not really a buff. Predator doesn’t need any kind of nerf. Pred is in pretty rough shape as is to have to play long distance caster. And taking away quick claim forcing predator to long claim in any way will just cause more losses on predator and loss of xp from claiming because after they are dead you don’t get near the xp quick claiming them alive.

Claim barely works as is. Dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.

Unfortunately XP doesn’t matter to those who are lv150, everyone at that level only cares for VT

#34

You do have plenty who aren’t 150 that it does matter to though. And there is also still no reason to make it any harder for predator than it already is

#35

True on both accounts
But right now because of the armor buff you have way more people focusing on claiming someone within moments after they engage the FT regardless if they get winded

#36

Because they are dumb and still get melted
