Hello @OldKingHamlet, as I said in stream I would give my feedbacks on 2.05 (no insult, blame or other stuffs like that, only costructive feedbacks).
Let’s start (hope you will read the entire post and put a like just to make me know you have read it):
Clash mode: some people like it, some people not. As a "50/50 both sides " I like it lot because I have the possibility to play Fireteam and Pred at the same time. The mode in my opinion is perfect for premade and for premades matches (clan wars) because it’s perfectly balanced as you pay with the same characters. The mode can be improved by the implementation of some things that in my opinion are a huge must and the lack of one of these ones can make even the hard core players drop the mode.
First of all, a punishment for quitters. Yesterday you were all playing in private matches and of course no one was quitting because you were all colleagues, but playing in pubs is so frustrating when you cannot finish a single game because as soon as you reeach 300 points out of 600 3 people of the enemy team leave the match. I’m not exaggerating, people leave 9 games out of 10 and it ruins the experience for me and my friends.
Second, add more points , make the team win with 1000 so you have more chance to rotate the Predator and let at least 3 people play each game. Some time there is one guy that cant play pred for 3/5 games in a raw and if your not playing in team no one will let him play pred by refusing his own opportunity.
Improve stability and fram rate. 4 vs 4 without an RTX is very hard to play, imagine being all 8 people in the same location fighting with guns. The game should run at 60 stable for almost every one (ps4 pro as well) because it’s a shooter you know :) .
About the balance of the game I have to say something important:
-the nerf to the medikits is very good, finally they have less heals
-the pig change is good, but in the new map sometimes it doesnt work and pigs spawn close to ft
-the cloack MUST be changed, complete invisibility at 45/50 meters is very very BAD and doesnt promote skill and tactic by the Predator payer. You just press one buttom and they cant see you even if you take abad position. You have to play smart as predator and take good positions and high grounds, now it takes no skill. Also now with the perk for palsam caster you can literally shot from miles away randomly with no chance to get punished. Cloack should like that only at 150/200 meters to avoid snipers across the map, but close and middle range should be visible. By doing this you didnt help neither random noobs and pros.
-Damage of fireteam should be decreased , you can do that changing statistics of weapon or simply increase pred health. Or , better, change yautja bane to 5%. Bane is a huge problem as well as the overall damage of the fireteam because agaisnt good players (even if you are a good pred) you cannot capitalize from a down because you wont have enough hp to claim or kill him at range. SAWZ is still 5 shots to second wind a city hunter that is not normal. More than making cloack op and UNSKILLED you should nerf fireteam damage so only very good players can deal a lot of damage because they are more accurate.
-fix the Bow bug in which you get the wrist blade attack instead of shooting the arrow, I already sent you a video proof, and you can try by your self.
-fix the keybinds for cahnging weapon after thriowing the Combi stick, this make Fast Hands perk less viable because once you throw the spear you wont be able to equip the bow fast because the keybind doesnt work as intended. You can try by your self in private match also. By making fast hands better you will promote skill and ability, changing multiple time weapons and use the entire kit of pred is how you make the character more skill based and not just press one buttom to become completely invisible while moving from close/middle range. This is important guys please listen. @OldKingHamlet
-Tree brenches cannot be destoyed in Hunt mode, must be fixed.
About the new map, well for me there is nothing to say other than it’s a very good map. Far better than the others. Overgrouwth and Excavation are the best maps in the game.
Hope it could be usefull and helpfull for you and community, good luck for the work and for the future updates. Hope some of these changes will come out before the half of October as an hotfix. Thanks.
