How to prevent Death Squading

#22

Ive played a party with you yesterday i think @PsychoBaBas
Not only did the V i collected sometimes not take (the most ill get is about 500-1000V tops) because the host quit the game to soon, but all of us were PC…and all of us were trying to Death Squad it.
You can tell why i left after a few games. I got my fill but it is hella boring and demeaning to bully the predator in this game.

I jumped out to play public matches with PS ppl who were on the opposite of this spectrum.
It was frustrating, yes, but ulimtately if my games stayed this way then my time is well used because I can still get my V 2-3Gs. But then I might have to deal with the predator on my own which I had gotten 4-6G in damage.

Or sweaties wait in queues forever since I don’t know if the pop is high enough to support it. I thought this game did some light matchmaking based on level but I can’t recall.

Usually I’m bored as fuck, drunk as fuck, or I want to test or get better at something

It is fun at times, but doing it more than 3 or 4 times in a row is demeaning and spoils the game IMHO.

I understand your point.

Personally I dont care much about VT so we just leave the game.

But you also think people have dev codes so theres that too

Why wouldnt there be? Why couldnt there be? LOL.
Devs do shit you wouldnt expect. Like leave obvious assets in the games output files to be leaked.

My missions rarely go past 11 minutes unless I’m up against a pred that knows what they are doing.

The ONLY thing to get rid of “death squadding” is not following pre-made ploys in private match, AND create SKILL BASED MATCHMAKING to ensure newbies don’t get pitted against pro players.

Maybe Illfonic could introduce a mechanic that allows the predator to increase it’s damage by killing AI. About 1% extra damage per AI kill.

This would encourage the fireteam to avoid long matches and allowing the predator the time to increase its strength, and it would encourage the fireteam to kill as many AI as possible to block the predator from gaining power.

Do a private match solo. Complete the mission. I will assure you, you will finish them in less than 8 minutes ALONE. With 3 more people, some missions are done in 3 minutes. Most in less than 5. Not kidding
