Ft mission time

#1

Speed runners the bane of Predators everywhere. The ft players that do missions in 4 mins flat and are on the chopper by min 5. This has been an issue since beta.

I don’t think having more complex missions is a over all solution to this problem because after 2 or 3 weeks the speed runners will be back but this time 6 mins lol.

No I think a fair and solution for this issue would be to give the chopper a refueling timer.
Current match time is 15 mins which is a great time in my opinion. Long enough for to get to every area on the map but short enough to not make matches drag on, but we all know some missions can be sped run and it rather annoying as a Hunter to speed up the hunt.
So the chopper should take roughly 12 mins to fly back to base refuel and be ready to exfil you from the mission. In my opinion this will drastically change the way the game will be played on both sides. This will give ft amble tile to do the mission and satisfy the vt hunters in this game. While also giving the Pred player amble time to hunt and stalk their prey.
I feel this will give us the immersion that this game is missing.

They are obviously trying to do todays daily challenge.

Idk what todays daily even is. Im more talking in general. The biggest issue most players have is that a ft and win the game in 4 mins flat I know its up to the pred but certain times it cant be helped

So you want to deal with campers every match?

I mean if you catch them while they are doing the mission you have the best chance at poking them. Maybe 12 mins is too long. What about either 5 mins after the mission is completed the chopper can be called if missions is completed before half way mark or make it 8 mins after the mission has started?

That’s a bit better, otherwise you’ll just have them speed run and hideout in the most defensible place for the rest of the match.

This is very true. The biggest culprit is that mission on backwater where you blow up the truck with the weapons in it. Can be sped run at a tile of 2:55 that fucking ridiculous. The ft can be on the ground for a shorter amount of time that it takes to find a match as Pred that crazy to me

Well all the missions are designed so they can be completed solo in PM, that plays a big factor in it. I am glad they made it like that though, I enjoy doing them that way.

I dont think they will. Makes no sense since vt is pretty difficult to come by

You’re going to get a lot of mission runners everywhere with the latest change to cloak. At this point if he plays range you have to ignore him and do the missions as fast as possibe.

If you want to increase the mission time you need:
1-Revert the cloak change to anything below 100m so you can engage with the pred instead of run.
2-Increase the number of STIMs they start with by one.
3-Increase the starting ammo.

Those are good ideas.

You also need number 1 or some other hard nerf for the pred. Every more minute that passes the odds of doing something wrong and the pred killing the team increases. Some AI dropping on you and pred bursting quick someone and claiming could be GG.
The odds decrease significantly with a 4 man premade but for randoms its completely different.

1: If this was added to the games. I would also like my suggestion of the cloak minor nerf in other threads. So100 will allow sniper abuse to become the meta again. So dont want that. But 70 meters will allow you to still engage with preds at distance but also allow him to engage with viable range combat as well.
2: yes 100%
3: yes 100%

I understand that mission runners will be a meta with the current cloak. I just really want the time to hunt stalk and pick off players without being rushed

PH:G’s equivalent of the DBD Generator rush

Give missions fail conditions so that predator can actually interrupt them. Or predator optional objectives to revert FT progress while taking a bit of pressure off the FT. Ex: A DBD Killer can’t chase you if he has to stop to kick gens.

It’s always been dumb that Objectives in Hunt are completed in a vaccum completely independent of the pred

And spitballing Evac mode as AvP2 is a national treasure but = Asyim survival objectives that go back and forth offensively/defensively depending on who’s doing better

I think Predator should also be able to interact with the mission to slow FT down somehow

Or a mandatory second mission is given by zeuss If they complete it too fast

I don’t think increasing Stims or reverting cloak is the best idea. Definitely can see increasing ammo, you dump a lot with the new cloak.

#19

That’s just going to cause more FT to be able to escape

8k??? Jesus, got to try it myself
