Can predators perks be re-worked?

#1

Well my idea would be considering how many people there are for fireteam and each of them have access to 3 perks per person… why not let predator have combination of perks in one perk?

So you can make a better yet more efficient hunting experience for the people, well reason for that is to make it more enjoyable to play as pred as it just feels annoying to just try and speedrun to the fireteam so they dont complete the mission.

Anywho… can we undo the changes done to dithered lenses… or rather make it cost 4 points instead of 5? it was legit only unharmful perk that gave me the most fun and it got changed from 3 points to 5 cause only god knows why… if your answer is “well dithered lenses” caused the predator to be way more stealthy and made the caster laser less noticeable to be better at landing shots… well technically yes and no… mainly no cause people literally only rely now on where the predator will spawn considering where fireteam decides to spawn… and also the audio and broken cloak n all that shit…

Anyways @Courier @OldKingHamlet i know you will browse trough this quickly but yeah can u just tell to the devs “these changes to the so called (cosmetic fun perks) is not good or fair cause it took the fun of killing as predator” …

Thx in advance :)

Oh and the main goal for this post is to encourage devs to aim for predator perks to give more fun to the gameplay than just giving a raw tryhard win advantage… the way perks should really be made in games like this!

The dithered lens point hike was so unnecessary. I agree though, they need to both add class perks and merge existing perks for better use and build diversity.

Right now there’s a handful of perks that everyone uses because the majority are either redundant (why use light bender/heated when modified reserves reduces both at an increased rate), or are too high priced for what they provide. They could easily increase effectiveness on a lot of them and turn them into class perks.

I think they need to re-work all the perks to not give any advantage to winning rather give u like an option to have fun and enjoy the gameplay more really… like in the end it shouldn’t matter that a dmg reduce perk should be used to give an win advantage rather used to give u less anxiety and fear when u would like go 1 v 1 or 1 v 2 fireteam alone

This was the thing i was working on like last week but i realised their not worth my time as the devs dont do shit really…

my idea for this was to give pred players somewhat of a feeling they feel like their sent on a hunt and they need to prep n shit… like they can just go raw and take nothing with them… or just like pick like 3 different perk branches to carry in the hunt to give them easier hunting in a way that they can like stalk their prey n shit

It would make sense if impenetrable and height advantage was just combined into one perk

As for the dithered lense , the aspect of being more stealthy falls mute , they have anti cloak grenades and spotting sensors. So regardless of changes they made to cloak etc its just pointless

#8

Its just utter bullsh*t that dithered lenses costs 5 perk points lmfao… its literally hunting accessory that allows u to not get noticed when hunting

and if u ask me… if u cant like spot where ur being shot at lmfao until u just get downed… thats on the person whos playing as fireteam and not on predator

You know its shit balancing when the fireteam have more at their disposal , than the galactic space hunter 😁

No they will not rework them

Tweak them maybe

#11

Sorry are you the part of the dev squad?

Didn’t know you are the person on the lead dev squad who decides that.

#12

No need to get defensive 😅

I just don’t see them reworking their entire perk system after who knows how long it took to establish in the first place

#13

Why do people think im being defensive lmao… it was a joke… and i just stated a fact lmao… u could have also said “you know they will avoid this post”

#14

Yeah there’s 0 point in thinking it out in any detail, theyre not taking suggestions.

Yeah… its weird that they never asked for feedback after their beta testing… it was fishy since starts

#16

Everyone’s got great ideas (some not so great) but Illfonic stated they’re sticking to their plans indefinitely and only just appreciate the noise we make cuz it keeps the game alive lol

#17

Thats one ticket to hell lmao… ego maniac devs are the worst type of devs ngl… i feel bad for the community moderators n stuff, like legit this is the reason this game is dying XD

#18

I wouldnt call them ego maniacs, but definitely a stick in the mud. They should really crowdsource opinions and feedback before wasting time on dumb shit and instead get an idea what the community wants that would net the best possible response.

Look how Fortnite turned out. First its just working on some generic wave defense game, next its a colossal force in the industry who’s influence you can’t escape lol all you gotta do is ask your customers wtf they want to buy. This is a joe biden strategy of saying ‘you’ll find out when you buy it’ in terms of what to expect from them.

Idk i just know they did a double scamaz and i got proof lmfao… like the director talk way back on a podcast and the ceo n shit… this was all around before beta dropped and they had an interview with a reporter talking about their demo n shit… they literally scraped the idea and plans after they yoinked all the money from pre orders n shit

What did they say they were gonna do? I barely knew this game was a thing until it was released.
