Combistick throw damage

#41

you can, but it aint easy boi

#42

Its rare, thins is, it can do that. You CAN lose games because of it. Yes, its harder then just headshots with the bow. Thing is, in this game nothing is more important then burst. If you get hit by the bow once. you are already alerted that he is there and you can seek cover and heal up.

That is not a good analogy. Predator have different strengths compared to the FT.

Nobody is saying it is. :) On randoms… It is tho…

#44

everything is easy with randoms, except beating an above average pred. that takes some skill and some dick moves ĂĄ la Royce

#45

And that’s the beauty of a skill ceiling. Doing a hard thing that is hard to do on weapons with insane drop and travel time rewards the person doing it. If you got railgunned sniped & it turned the game around either you or the pred deserved it. He waited for the setup, he got it. Nothing wrong with ranged combistick.

Dude, I’ve never said something is wrong with ranged combistick. What I said is the weapons is just to good for what it does. The 1 shoot potential just puts it in OP side. Nerf the damage a bit to be just below that threshold. Keep everything else.

Do you appear offline a lot because we’ve added each other and I never see you on. Slightly off topic, I agree somewhat to the statement that some overuse it but I like where the combi is sometimes I win against them sometimes I don’t, I have actually lost more to elder sword spammed at my back and since you don’t parry the first two they hop back and forth tons, I have literally changed my horizontal sensitivity to try and combat it

#48

Elder sword needs a nerf just as well, same for the pistol.

#49

Because you if you MISS the FT are now standing on top of your primary or secondary weapon & you have less options. No shit it does damage if you throw it.

Combi throw is too good but I can charge caster around a corner twice two trees away and get splash damage/downs on everyone compared to trying to railgun them with a spear as it drops out of the sky?

Hhpc doesnt need a nerf just a longer reload to make it less spammable from the same stand still cloaked spot cloak should have to be recharged before you should get six more shots, or make.the hhpc take away from cloak energy when reloading

#51

With down range is 126 + 37 damage for wrist blade, so it’s even worse than what you thought😂.

#52

What ive gathered from your posts is:

Nerf elder sword
Nerf handheld plasma caster
Nerf combistick railgun snipe setups
Nerf netgun
Nerf melee
Nerf downrange

All while playing meta thick skin support.

The balance for that combi throw is that if you aim the slightest bit too high it goes off map, lots hit there target while some go buckwild and end up at the very edge if not out of bounds and the line between the two is small

#54

Then don’t miss. Its a medium ranged weapon. Standing on top of it is a perfect way of getting you killed. Just switch to your second weapons or the PC and blast him. PC can’t 1 shoot and its far more visible even if you don’t put the laser on people. Again, the burst is damn important in this. flooring people before they can heal back up.

#55

I’m going to start chucking spear from mid compound straight up into the air at the waterfall spawn pubs always spawn at for the 5% chance it comes down and lands right on xan’s head.

So yo’re saying the pistol does not need a nerf and then you say it needs a nerf :)

#57

Netgun is fine now (latest patch). Its actually useful but does provide easy wins.
Elder sword, less of a burst, keep the damage, just decrease the burst.
Handheld just a flash when the pred shoots it to know where he is.
Nerf 1 shoot for combistick, the damage just below that.
Predator should not be able trigger alarms or the AI should chase HIM all over the map.

They should also do something with melee at low level of skill (it can floor entire teams and takes no skill). Thing is, I have no clue how you can make it harder to melee but not effect higher skill players and it should not! Perhaps add some type of combos with button presses, no idea.

This is pretty much it.

PS. Many people throw the spear at the legs because you can recover it fast and it does not end up very fast or in a tree (where you just lost it).

#58

I’m saying that they need to alter how it works and not alter its damage at all

#59

Damn how could I forget about “nerf melee.”

And? Caster is cornercheck/medium/long with no falloff and has splash damage. I dread the day you run into someone just wiping pubs with caster while they stand on top of eachother & can’t tell where the laser is coming from.

Drop is even more severe if you don’t aim for center mass. They aren’t aiming at your legs at midrange they’re aiming at your BODY that’s how bad the drop is. But your assumption is that theyre intentionally throwing it at your legs so they dont lose the spear, because you’ve never tried throwing it at midrange.

Yeah right the AI aren’t freaking out and alarming if they see an 8 ft alien, even though the AI is annoying yes predator should be able to get the camp alarmed no the AI shouldn’t hunt the predator that’s my fucking job as fireteam and if you feel that pred is that OP you need to improve your game as FT not nerf the Predator
