A tough ask for anyone.

#1

I realized after the patch that balancing is a hard ask, how do you make a 1v4 exciting or a 1v3 possible. How can we say we want games to go on longer but also not like that it means nerfing the plasma cannon(not s fan).

I know we want both sides to be fun. And illfonic has mostly delivered.

Is it finished? No. But it does have a lot going for it, and if we believe in this game’s potential we gotta keep giving feedback.

I for one want interact to be it’s own button. Why does it have to be the same as reload on fireteam or jump for predator. Even with custom config on ps4 it’s still has to be the same button.Circle should exit the chat wheel as predator!

Why on earth can all four FT members defuse their own bomb? It should be only 1.

I would suggest putting a longer cooldown on the plasma canon’s firing rate. Increase its direct hit and splash damage slightly to compensate.

Or increase the amount of energy charged shots drain.

Either option eliminates the spam.

I think the PC should one hit kill but have zero splash damage unless you hit an explodable object with it, which should be a 4x splash damage of whatever was hit. Maybe some splash damage if fully charged but the drop off should be steep and all no charge shots should take 25% energy each.

Nah splash damage makes sense bc well it splashes as it hits any targeting object… one full charge should use up all energy. Splash damage would be there but not so lethal.

Another interesting component to this is the priority that we place balancing the game that many of us feel is incomplete? Would you rather have the game be balanced in it’s current state or would you rather Illfonic prioritize new content? I for one would rather leave the game in a playable but imbalanced state and prioritize seeing new Fire Team members and Predator types than have Illfonic perfectly balance the current game but push back maps and weapons another three months. I think the best approach is to get as much of the game pushed out as possible in the next couple of months while it’s still got a player base and a buzz than to devote resources to balancing, which will need to be re-balanced after the new content is released. Then there’s the very likely possibility that the game will be perfectly balanced and still garner cries from the player base to tidy it up even more. Where do you guys think Illfonic should be putting their manpower? Generally curious.
