Either way textures need to look better by a lot… and as i said 80 meters would be ideal to see predator from
Cloak test.

Sounds good to me. Lol. I can live with that.

You slap a good pred with an almost beginner ft randoms, they are going quite possibly never see the pred if they are using range only, an intermediate player is still going to struggle, and pre made mostly definitely is going to have a run for there money, this bodes very bad for the meta, I get that they were trying to nerf snipers, but this just hurts everyone else in the process, and thats coming for a pred main.
I think the problem lies on how much focus you have to put into it. Now that’s it’s a lot harder to see you have to focus a lot on the predator. You can still get a rough idea of where they are with the trails left behind when they fire a range weapon. But here’s the thing, because of how much AI there can be swarming you it can be ridiculously hard to focus on it. I think illfonic should start with toning down the number of AI so we have more room to focus on the predator.
Or coffee’s idea because that’s better. Either way is fine with me 🤷♂️

Good players will adapt.
My concern is only trying to keep it fair for everyone.

Ima watch it.

I’m gonna be perfectly honest. I love the 50m range and the fact that predator cloak is incredibly useful. It makes melee viable for hit and runs and escape possible when you do make a mistake. I feel pushing it to 100m will hurt that aspect a lot.
On the other hand. Snipers are essentially useless against any half skilled predator now. It’s very very difficult to fend off any good ranged predator.
I’m just not sure how to call this one. 50 does seem to short going against skilled predators, but I don’t know 100m might just be too much for your average pred against highly skilled PC FT.
Tough balance act here.

As i said either 70m or 80m

I see where you’re coming from.
Lol this time I’m looking more towards like average ft players not being able to keep up.
But this is why I posted this. I’d like to see what people think and we can all take it from there.
So far I’m seeing a 50/50 split.

Yes the cloak is fine. Maybe a few tweaks over all but its okay. Its given a new fear into the game and makes a ft have to be more aware of whats going on around them instead of mudding up in the open.

The only thing however… predator should be hard af to see when he is jumping from tree branch to tree branch, and shooting at you… as it is now… that should stay… only thing that needs to change is textures and to be able to see further at max 70-80 meters

I’d like to point the fact that if you only take the visual aspect of cloacking 45m invisibility might be a little too much.
But there is the audio aspect, clicking, branch leaves falling, footsteps etc, and the trails of the arrows or the laser beam of the PC.
Some Fireteam members have already managed to hit me with bullets above the 45 meters by sound or visual clues only.

Also you are being very biased with your 100
Meter range is because you play sniper and you dont want to change your playstyle up. The sniper is still viable but you need to be more stealthly when sniping finding that spot that is far enough from your ft to get thos massive shots in on a melee pred but also close enough that your team can get to you if the pred spots you
As i said now… all we need to let devs know not to add UNNECESSARY cloak changes… only shit we mentioned…
It doesnt impress me that they can hit you. What would impress me is if they can continue to hit you as you reposition.

I still think your 80 meters is too much, it would open up the abuse of derailed sniper mains. Idk just me
I already put my idea in many comments in my post and in the answers in yupper and coffe latest posts.
You guys are also missing the clouds of dust the pred makes when running or jumping but im sure the potato graphics pc users cant see that because they remove them lol
Just figured youd like to see vid confirmation if you hadn’t already.
