future changes.

[Peacemaker94]

Firstly, id like to say thanks @illfonic for that. That is incredible game, and I really enjoy it.
Here is the topic: future changes that probably would make game healthier and just better.
Here is my list:

1. Combistick update was fine. New combistick is as good now as it should be.
   But what about other melee weapons? elder sword is a little ok rather than war club… guys it is literally unplayable.

2. Ai damage is ridiculous. Make it serious threat for both predator and FT. It is funny when predator punishes smbd in front of the army trying to kill it. Or FT members killing literally everything tanking with knives. And also make ai fight with predator too, not just losing him as long as he is using cloak.

3. More predator long fatalities!!!

4. Pointing predator? Idk. Strange thing, imo it should only be for scout class in FT.

5. I wrote it before but again: more values in customization menue. Damage, resistance, percentage and so on, it would help to create ur own build smarter.

6.Parrying. I guess it shouldn’t have so many debuffs on it, but instead of it parrying can throw FT member away dealing no damage and saving him away. It would shows the predator power and it wont be feeling like his a freakin kid trying to scratch someone, especially against well coordinated team. Ofc he would be stunned and so on.

7.Longer missions probably.

8. Class differences.
   Very nice idea was proposed in that topic. There should be some class features both for predator and tf

9. also, more cosmetics. And why no customization? I mean we need to have a possibility to change the colour of all objects on armor and gear. And maybe ability to construct our own modular predator armor? It would be nice/

10. We definetely need “PLAY AGAIN” button. Gonna be really good
    Ill try to edit this post, maybe someone would add more interesting ideas

Cloaking device. Idk would it be ok for balance, but now it is useless. Predator is literally glowing.

Wait really?

[Peacemaker94]

Changed already. I guess they fixed it already, cuz literally 3 d ago it was useless

As it stands right now, we have 5 melee weapons for pred. As far as I am concerned, No matter how much they nerf the combistick, it will be better than every other weapon because it can be THROWN.

So what do we do? I think its simple.

Elder sword, wider swings, make it the weapon for hitting multiple enemies at once.

Handheld Plasma caster, Buff damage a bit, so that it can down a fireteam member in 4-5 shots point blank, but slow its fire rate. Its effectively now a melee weapon that cant be parried. But at long range, it should be as piss poor as it is now.

War club, Slow the swings even more. Make it break parries, Slower swings means easier to dodge, Breakable parries and maybe a bit more damage means it will be good at punishing players that sit in a corner of a building.

Smart disc, Full rework. Pred shouldnt have to control it, Make it do its thing and try to return automatically, Leave damage piss poor. And if it hits something on the way back, let it get stuck as it does already.

Combistick, Remove the ability to hit multiple enemies. Its effectively a spear, not a double bladed lightsaber, Make it excel at single target DPS, but it is parryable as it is now, let it be thrown still.

Keep everything else exactly the same.

side note, I did go back on my thoughts about the smart disc, but everything else still stands

Smart Disc. I have completely changed my opinion on the smart disc over the past 5-6 hours, and I think that flying it is honestly fun. Heres my suggestion though.

Decrease the light trail it has, to make it a little more difficult to tell where it came from. Keep the default flight speed the same, but increase the boost significantly. Default speed for turns, boost for attack.

When a player is using the smart disc, and cloaked, make it so that even very close AI dont attack. Being attacked by random AI spawning on you, and losing control of the disc is frustrating. Even more so when you consider that I am cloaked, and not moving. There is no reason that AI should see me.

And finally, Remove the ability to destroy the smart disc. I have had several games now where I throw it, pop off plasma, and then it disappears. At first I thought it was a bug, but now I am fairly certain that the smart disc, if stuck in a wall, can be destroyed. Remove this please, as having to retrieve a thrown weapon is good enough, you dont need to take it from me like that.

This was the reworked thoughts on the smart disc

[Peacemaker94]

Well, it has the main idea-melee weapons need reworks. Elder sword is fine now, but idk why cant I throw it in close distance? It would be fun, especially when we ve got combistick that is ultimately powerfull. But I agree with smart disc, it needs rework now.

Very good idea. I recently suggested something similar, how can I make classes more unique.

More unique classes

At the moment, classes differ from each other only in a set of characteristics (and some features of TF), which supposedly hint at their gameplay. For example, a Berserker has a lot of health - which means it’s ideal to build it like a tank. Is it logical? Is logical. Or TF Scout has a feature: a longer predator spotting. So the Scout is most optimal to build as a Sniper. Is it logical? Is logical. And I think 99.99% of the players understand this. And they use it. I suggest making classes m…

With ur permission, ill add that to the topic. Maybe someone of illfonic will see it
