You know what, I agree with this tbh like I can still have fun with hunter pred but sometimes it can give me a slight anxiety feeling (especially against a organized ft) and I like the idea you had with the health balancing of preds cause I’m tired of getting shredded if I want to melee a FT member. And the ft rarely splits up, making melee much harder but it seems they are trying to make melee better with the recent parry nerf.
Guess im forced to play zerk if i want to somewhat have fun?
The thing is, the ft doesn’t know whether you want to rush kill them for no reason other than fulfilling your daily quota and end up waiting longer in queue or engage in an intense 15-match up. So I can see why they’d go to those lengths.
There’s over 102 comments I’ve yet to read through, but I will throw my support your way. I agree, running Hunter is anxiety inducing madness especially when you g up against tanked up Assault class with sniper rifle. When I watch the footage of matches I play, the speed at which my health gets melted is insane. And I’ve literally had my feet on the ground for a second, managed one wristblade strike before I have to hop away to heal…and the tracking on melee weapons is absolutely pathetic.
And pigs…those mythical creatures that occasionally appear right next to Fireteam. In one match I limped behind FT with a smidge of health hoping one would spawn by them, but nope. No bacon for me that game.
I’ve had better luck with City Hunter, but I had to pay for that🤣
Well it not that hard, i just wipe a fireteam that was 2 supports and dutches, two of them had gatling guns and wipe them as city hunter at exfil.
Get good by playing smarter.
Yup… I felt that.
You can have 4 Supports on FT, and if they don’t know what they’re doing they’re getting wiped.
And 2 had Gatling guns?? Yeah, that smacks of inexperienced players because any FT that knows anything about this game will not waste a weapon slot on those things when there’s two SMGs and the 2XL which are far more efficient, effective and do not hinder your movements🙄
For the pig it’s a damn lottery I ad kill 10 on the derailed map yesterday xD
I’ve found that if you kill a pig but don’t eat it and leave it, then come back to it a minute or so later more will spawn around the dead one…but it’s finding the damn thing first. Overgrowth is probably the best map for spawns, behind the Stargazer camp and the steps behind Construction Zone they spawn like crazy.
Backwater is the worst however 2 pig in a row HELP
Im awake!
Okay guys i read trough replies… most of you seem like u know what im talking about and few are like >.<
I shall explain it once more
I am the type of player that can still win againts sweaty people cause i adapted to people speedrunning and learned aswell there are speedruns obviously lets not forget that u can also do that as predator…
But the point here is… AT WHAT COST
Like each time i boot up the game and if i end up queueing i always have the voices in my head like… ok coffee stop que and play smth else or watch yt you will probably feel anxious and shit when playing…
And other voice is like I mean eh it will be fine right… and yes you are right both voices are aiming to have a disappointment in them, such as not believing i will have fun which at the end is true i end up playing and over think it and prepare for the worst and try my best which = of me tryharding againts people who actually are pretty chill and then i feel like absolute fucking cuck lord cause i knew i coule take my time drop in audio decoys n shit… bear traps etc… but noo what does my sorry fucking ass go for is plasma spam and finish the downed fireteam from distance by plasma spam or bow…
Well in other words… i lost my way to actually have fun each time i look at the game honestly… even when i think about playing the game i get anxious and think eh probs not… i will have a shit time cause its mostly true i end up feeling like shit after matches…
Now i repeat this aint an issue with me cause i know it aint… i had so much fun when people were actually scared once and didnt realise they can rush and kill u or spam sniper lol… I mean eh i guess thats just life…
I mean yeah see you are on the right path… do read what i wrote when waking up lmao…
But in short: Yes they will obviously try their best and use what is given to them by the devs… does not matter if its abusing the no RNG, Weapons, melee or energy consumption lol…
But again at what cost really… sure their que times are upto a min… but pred is like avg for me 13-15 min… i aim to have fun not to win… ideally for me would be to win by having fun in a way i scare the living sht out of them so they end up not leaving that spot… but when i see myself trying my best and them being like LELElelle ur doing nth old man… im like… Ok well it was a mistake playing the game then… and i will down talk my self cause they have so many mechanics rigged its unbelivable xD…
They are literally the puppet masters of the game…
Yeah man… its not that its happening to me only… i will bet my entire savings this will happend to most of you who play predator if you wish to and truly wanna play AS him as a predator the iconic hunter… not some plasma spamming son of a bish…
I just realised that no one is really scared anymore of pred… they think of him as a strong enemy who is scared of them too which is true im actually anxious af to even get close without getting drained…
It will be broken for sure. In my opinion they have adjust some things. Buff range potential of pred, nerf snipers, and nerf melee of predator (damage and tracking except for war club). Then remove all the bug for pred that are game breaking and it will be fine for both pubs and tournaments.
That could work but considering illfonic they dont have time for longer approach… so im giving them easier approach lol
I hate to say it but we arent gonna get anywhere with over half the community still thinking this
I swear man people like this are gonna be the death of me. I can respect other people not agreeing with my idea for what we should do about the problem. But every time someone says there is none it feelsbadman. I could either spend an hour arguing about the most obvious of shit, or ignore them. And not only is this mindset becoming more prevalent here on the forums, but its also often turning into dark souls style git gud mentality which is not gonna get us anywhere, not to mention how toxic it is when its thrown at you constantly.
Im sorry that I dont enjoy winning 90% of matches because 90% of players are uncoordinated and easy to kill. Im sorry that I dont enjoy those matches not even lasting 2 min after a fucking 20 min queue, unless i drag them out. And on the flip side im sorry that i dont enjoy turning into a flying squirrel against skilled fts and endlessly switching positions, or abusing the most meta weapons.
I dunno man im just tired of people who cant argue with me twisting it into a git gud and basically discrediting my argument with that alone. Shits frustrating and makes me wanna leave.
Literally the only person in the same boat as me is @Lazycollinator not sure why devs don’t listen to him or me when we say the problem here are not people its the core of the game…
The matches are short cause people are let by the devs to speedrun the game due to no RNG system
Not long ago guy named @Draedark messaged me on discord saying this lemme quote
“so after reading those patch notes (and the last one, where it was just a ton of cosmetics) i am officially uninstalled. might check back in a few months, but not holding my breath. enjoy, thanks for everything and have fun!”
Its actually so sad how people don’t really get it what lazy is saying lmao…
I literally see and feel his pain cause all i am able to do is spam plasma to win … if i try to melee… they butterknife me to death… so in cases u wanna have some fun by playing other shit like lets say using traps… it wont work cause first of all only trap u have is literally bear trap that gets activated by AI… and alerts the fireteam lmao… and u cant even pick up the bear trap really lmao… so that ruins your fun right there… not being able to pick it up lmfao…
If you want to have fun by jebaiting them with audio decoys… well let me break it down for you… it only lasts for less than a minute… lmao and it does not even echo properly lmfao… and people can easily tell if its audio decoy LMAO…
So at the end the only worthy weapon by predator is literally his plasma caster…
AND ONLY THAT
Nah, total agreement dude. I just don’t wanna leave out ‘sweaty’ predators who force players to sweat out their attention towards the predator. The real win is having a long and amicable match that leaves you wanting more.
See im focusing on making that shit avaliable… cause like the max you can juice it out is 15 min and that is if you just trap them and make them shit them self which is again not what i want… i want to be able to make them scared so they run for their lifes around the map but the match lasts 15 min… and its just insta stupid win for predator…
The only way we will ever have the consistently is if the game gives us no other choice. Most players wont artificially extend the game, nor should they. The game needs to assert itself in how it wants you to play it.
