@IllFonic For the most part I think the changes were in the right direction. HOWEVER, as an “essential employee” with a full time job and a wife I do NOT have the time to grind out currency that I wish I had. If you nerf the crates please buff the drops/rewards. I was struggling to unlock anything I actually want as it was pre-nerf.
Instead of auto-reducing amount of A.I. can we get a “match settings” to tweak things like density for common A.I. as well as the PMCs (I think that is what they are called. The tougher A.I. that Preds can actually trophy claim). At least if we can’t get an A.I. Pred or FT option? You coukd do the same for Health, Ammo, and Currency pickups perhaps. I enjoy the options you gave for private matches in Friday the 13th (not to mention offline mode) and would like to see more of that implemented if possible. Don’t need broad nerfs/buffs if we have custom match settings to CHOOSE balancing for ourselves (at least do it for Private Matches if not for Quickplay for reasons PLEASE!).
The nerfs to combistick, caster, and grenade launcher all seem overkill IMO. Timed grenades are pointless and render the weapon pointless to use if they are the ONLY option. In lore the fully charged caster DOES 1Hit Kill the FT in predator 1. Damage nerf on spear is one thing but both that AND speed does seem unnecessary.
And lastly, PLEASE reduce the pred noises and improve their stealth capability. Whats the point of an already semi-visible cloak (lore accurate) but making them announce their position by NEVER shutting up! This really needs to be addressed so PLEASE PLEASE do so, lol.
Thanks for your time and for this game.
P.S. Any remote chance if Friday the 13th getting support back? I don’t know if legal trouble got resolved but love that game and need more, lol.
EDIT: Had another idea. If the AI were buffed to be just slightly less than the FT’s various classes with the Elites being equal to FT but if they put up a fight and cause dmg (similar to current system used for FT) the Pred can also claim more of them as trophies (both quick and long). Taking trophies should be revamped to be the Preds way of collecting CURRENCY drops. The better the trophy the AI or FT give the more V earned!
