I believe the updates will continue and the game will certainly live on. The fact that you are all here discussing the game shows it’s popularity, despite the minor bugs that surface from time to time.
It’s also a cash cow for them with DLC content. There’s no way they will abandon such a lucrative title.
In time I see PHG improving in lobby times, maps, content and more. I commend Illfonic on such an amazing game that’s so fun to play!
I would say the current balance is the best since release, but I wouldn’t say it’s fine. The game has become more chaotic tho.
We can do one / two hits with the disc and it can turn very fast. But we also have field medics that can revive matteson a second or a tracker perk where you have 5+ sec whallhack which both is just retarded
Game was better balanced on the weeks before specializations were first added. But well at least now the Predator kind of have the means to counter ft specs and stuff. Still I say right now balance is like 60/40 in favor of the FT in my experience if the Predator has a good ping vs all players of the same skill level. Otherwise with his good weapons being nonfunctional due to bad ping its like 80/20 to the ft.
Well it’s as I always say. A plain turd is better than a runny turd but they’re both still just shit at the end of the day
Couldn’t give a damn, if they keep the forum up while doing all of that I’m happy
Core mechanics being janky pesters games for people but I don’t think balance is an issue at least not for the Preditards that spout the meta bullshit and can only use them on random noobs they meet in public matches
If the humans literally never are afraid of the Predator, the balance surely isn’t okay.
Still favored heavily towards FT even at novice levels.
Depends what you mean by ‘working on’.
It should be clear to anyone who’s been here keeping up with development that PHG is already finished and they’re drip feeding content with the bulk of work time going into little fixes and updates.
Whatever actual content we’re getting in the future, if anything after October, is already done and waiting to be released. It’d be nice for them to continue development as there’s so much potential in this game, but I don’t see it happening.
We will have content after this.
Am i correct in assuming that illfonic is not fully in charge of Phg; that they have to get a go ahead from Sony or whoever? Will they ever be able to add content that they want, or are they not even allowed to work on it?
So back to square one then lol
That could make sense of why there are so many bugs, if werk was finished some time ago, but hot fixed would interfere with already finished content for next update. Also why fan content is not readily put in, if at all, cause it might interfere with the future content that is already finished.
Defend yourself
Given the fact that they hired someone to clean up things around here, I would say they are probably going to keep working on it and more than likely big changes will come that most of the community ain’t gonna like.
I’d say Pred is about to be nerfed pretty bad, probably like before for Pred were implemented
Right
I highly doubt anything substantial will come
Y’all will probably get the usual chunky pred with a useless weapon and get more bugs added than fixed
I think random ps4 players in the lobby are pretty much afraid of 80% of preds out there. If they see a PC pred that’s a sure loss.
Random ps4 players are the majority of the player base, so the game is balanced around them.
I think that one of the most intelligent things Illfonic did was to introduce custom balance in privates. Nobody uses them —> no more balance discussions ever.
p.s. Even the PC ft “deathsquads” I play with (we prefer to call them “the pain helicopter”) are afraid of some predators.
They’re not the I.P holder and not the publisher. So they don’t have as much say in what comes out as it has to go through approvals and stuff is developed months back so community feedback as far as content goes is a few months behind.
They will do content after this, they’ve already stated as much.
Public play is the actual balance, and private match modifiers has nothing to do with that. Regardless, you can’t change the stats of particular weapons, classes, or specializations and passives, so even then it’s not really a “balance it yourself” solution.
