Ideas to Reduce Predator Wait Time

What are your guys ideas on how to do this?

Here’s one to kick it off.

What if you could acquire certain legendary items, but the only way to get them is to play as fire team.

I think creative ideas to incentivize fire team gameplay is the key. The challenges were a good start, but what else can we add? Legendary items could be one of them.

What do you think of this and what are your own ideas?

They could upgrade to better servers? Or get more? Make FT appealing to play?

A reverse hunt mode would reduce pred wait times. As would pred vs pred.

Make playing FT fun and compelling. And dare I say scary. Make people WANT to play FT.

Not my best idea, but -

Maybe a horde mode for Pred, incentivize it by putting awesome mythicals behind a skill wall or massive Veritanium rewards for completion of rounds.

You just keep going, no med kits, until you have to arm your bomb.

Just a thought, not even championing it. I’ll nest on some ideas.

Would be awesome if it was xenomorphs. I have a gut feeling AVP content is coming…

Nice ideas… you sparked another idea…

If there were other modes that appeal to predator players like the one you’re talking about, or like a pred vs pred mode, then that might siphon pred players away from the main FT vs. Pred mode, and possibly reduce the number of pred players trying to play pred vs FT, and thus reduce wait time.

In other words, more modes that appeal to preds will spread them out so they’re not all trying to get into one mode at once

@BadBlood Yes!

Maybe make multiple, unlockable tiers. Time trial challenges, cumulative damage challenges, claim challenges, and the like.

Just spitballing potential tiers -

  1. Humans
  2. PMC and Heavy AI
  3. PMC Captains
  4. Serpents
  5. All of the above

As long as I have the option to rip out a Serpent skull, I’m down like a clown, Charlie Brown.

Nice ideas

Agreed, 100%.

There could also be a second queue, like in Factions MP from TLOU, where you can select “No parties” or “Parties”.

The difference between those two queues was stark. In one, you can get away with a lot. In the other, you could easily get your ass kicked by a squad of Iranians. (I did, and I joined them afterward, lol).

It would give any Pred player the challenge, or lack thereof, that they are looking for.

Good stuff

James Cameron thinks the pred only role players need to play some more FT which will help with queues a bit.

For once, James Cameron is right😉

James Cameron was wrong once. But it turned out he was mistaken.

How to reduce loading into an empty match. Loaded in as Pred, there were 3 FT. One left, then there were 2. The last FT left, and I waited for 5 mins having already waited 10 just to get this far 🙄

@James-Cameron fix this shit immediately!!

They just need to add more servers problem solved or I would be happy with us just being able to roam around the map while we wait

James Cameron can’t stop FT cowards disconnecting. But will send feedback signal and short out their consoles.

It needs to be like it was in Friday the 13th.

People join the lobby. You pick what you’d prefer to play. Game randomly picks a Pred. End of fucking story. It’s already available in private matches. So why the fuck is it absent from public matches?!

I’ll tell you why. Because this developer’s still got its collective head up its ass and it’ll be like that for the foreseeable future.

Nope.

Remove reinforcements, dead ft members leave match and cycle into new matches, no longer 4 ft needed for every pred at a given time

remove soloing private matches for farming, force players back onto pub matches

FT verit rewards kept upon death, so picking them up as you go is no longer worthless.

Rework the rest of the game so players stop leaving, and we get more players.
