im done being hunted by the fireteam and nothing working weapon wise. clunky mechanics, cloak not working, spotting OP + bugs and all the rest i have said 100 times over.
I will check back each patch if there are any but in its current state its not fun for either side.
I turned my cross-platform off today because I got matched a couple of times with pc people who used snipers and head locked on me the second I was in range of them in 2 different games. They broke my mask as I would be in mid jump between trees within the first 5 minutes of the game I couldnt get close and it was even harder to keep a distance because they chased me around and had me permanently spotted even while running and leaping on ground.
So I am also taking a break š. Makes me miss Evolve, that game did it right
I find it hard actually winning as the predator. Once youāre in second wind, good chance theyāll find you because youāre so fucking white. 9/10 matches as the fire team, the predator only uses the combistick, and heāll rush ending the game in 3 minutes. You get that one player that directly hits you with the caster. This game is so mixed for me. I want to love it, but most players make the game a piss off to play.
combi stick rush is just because nothing else works, its so broken.
sadly im on PC so i cant turn off PC players lol, there are even cheats that show the position of players all the time highlighted in red.
I dont mind people being really good at shooting thats fine if it was ballanced enough to do something to them. but when every shot you make hits a twig, every net gets shot out the air, every time you try to plasma shot you move so slow they just sniper you down in secondsā¦ it becomes not fun to even try to work around the issuesā¦ try to leap away, no you are just going straight upward and then down again to where you just were lol
its funny but its annoying af.
yeah im fucking OUT, had enough after this new scout sniper meta where they wait for me, and dont do objectives, 4 matches straight has been like that and iād say im a good predator hunter and i down them with cannon over and over, but they heal right back up and i cant continue assaulting them becasue i run out of energy or need to go heal. If i need to go healā¦i might aswell just suicide, cuz i cant outrun the scouts.
My god im furious over yet another Predator product beeing absolute trashā¦
Yeah, and the fact every fire team class can heal multiple times is bullshit. They should only be allowed to carry one ammo pack or med kit. Itās very hard trying to hunt from afar.
game is fun in its core and the idea of the game. but pred is too clunky, weapon switching is garbage. too many bugs with every aspect of playing predator:
The game sadly has become āFireteam: Hunting Groundsā
None of the fire team ever care the pred is there , hes not a threat (bar 1 or 2 lame tactics like spear rushing - thats not hunting!).
Pred issues:
Weapons sometimes get stuck in fire or aim mode if you leap. causing you to do a ground slam or keep attacking while trying to flee.
Weapon wheel is clunky, just let us quick switch like fire team can.
Leaping only lands you where you want to go 25% of the time, the rest it bounces you around, or you go straight up and down again, or leap over the object you wanted to land on.
Stamina has a bug where it does not regenerate at proper speed.
Leaping has a bug where you have enough stamina but it wont let you leap untill stamina is back to 80-90% full.
You get stuck on tiny little features of the terrain like a 2cm rockface but the fireteam just easily get around.
Plasma caster laser shows the shot will go to location but the shot actually hits any small object, leaf, twig. fresh airā¦ instead of going on target.
Bow says its got a clear shot, hits any object on the left that you cant judge because perspective/ camera is on the right side.
Net gun is the same, hits dorrways, trees, plants, foliage, destroyed by firing at it (its a net, how can it be shot?!).
You move too slowly when aiming leaving you a sitting duck but the fireteam can 360 bunny hop scope headshot no penalty.
Healing/2nd wind revival progress bar is not related to the animation, the bar says you have healed but the animation plays for a good few more seconds.
2nd wind you glow up, lose health, run away but the fire team are right there, you cant leap away or hide. 2nd wind is pointless because you get hunted 99% of the time.
The disarm mechanic is way too easy people do it in 5 seconds.
The cloaking is bugged and people can see the glitchyness of the rendering even though you are completely still.
You make too much noise and can be spotted way too easily as they spam spotting.
Every weapon gives away the position - Why does a BOW need a red light on it? it already has a trail to where it was fired fromā¦
Pigs run away faster than the predator and are tougher than a AI soldier (2 plas shots vs 1)
Pig interaction area is so small you spend too long trying to find the right spot to interact/heal from it.
Not enough time to do anything but bumrush with spear+beserker.
too easy to spot to āpick them off 1 at a timeā
Canāt change your mind or move a trap, AI set off and waste traps.
No way to replenish supplies. no way to get mask back/new mask.
Blood gives away position too easily and takes too long to clot.
Every noise even healing gives away your position. i dont heat the fire team do anything apart from voice lines when you are close enough to see themā¦ the humans have better hearing than the āultimate hunterā - his heart beat drowns out all other sounds when you are injured.
Fireteam issues:
They have unlimited heals, unlimited stamina, do more melee damage than pred, parry stunlocks the pred but not the blocker. parry uses no stamina.
they hunt pred more than he hunts them, can chase him all over the map, can all carry the same weapons.
bunny hop like mad to avoid any fire but uses no stamina.
then if they die they can all come back in 15 seconds with all their health packs, full ammo, grenades etc etc
the mission can be done in under 5 mins if they rush meaning setting up of traps is useless.
Fire team can shoot the crap out of you mid leap, why cant i fire my shit when leaping?
Honestly I play support most times and I see some bad shit ā¦ usually itās a team of four support soldiers gunning down a frisky predator in about 3 mins . And yeh the soldiers always chuck down med kits and mud them selfs up. The support class is too powerful
They can heal way too easily, it takes the predator at least 10 seconds to heal properly while the field syringe heals them in a matter of seconds plus they can carry a field med kit. They need to start looking to buff up the predator majorly and yes I see this from both perspectives. I hate playing the Fireteam because I can hunt the predator and spot him easily itās no fun. I really hope theyāre reading our feedback and stop patching irrelevant stuff that doesnāt help us
Please make a thread saying this, but now that I think about it there were many in the beta and Illfonic didnāt listen.
well i think they need to wait and look at the stats on their end on wins/losses and also feedback.
But most of all they all need to spend a whole day or 2 all playing predator vs public NOT versus eachother. and take notes as they play.
Thats the best way to see what needs to change.
I would have agreed with that point a month ago, but Illfonic was warned of all of this a month ago and still went forward with a launch knowing full well that the people who really wanted to play this game saw and reported a great many flaws with the game. That is feedback, data, etc. Sure they would have to read it rather than looking at numerical values and that is tedious however when taking peopleās hard earned money you better have earned it yourself.
I thought beta was slightly better ballance than full game. i think they can fix it though. Just have to wait and see.
donāt worry, once you unlock the serker class and the combi stick, this game becomes a joke lol
I already have that but im not using it because its not fun to just bum rush with a stick it feels noob and thats all the beta was. stick rush noobs no skill, no tactics, no huntingā¦ jst run in and spam button. no thanks id rather lose
This game needs a lot of work. It already had a bad to rocky start. Iām barely level forty and itās sad the war club, elder sword and plasma pistol are the worst weapons. Iām gonna test out the bow monday. The ft has literally home field advantage with everything handed to them. The hunter class is too weak or the weapons arenāt good enough. And the q times are a joke still in the 6 to 10 min range. Idk lot of lost opportunity here. I feel your Frustration. Hopefully they get their shit together too.
I feel the same way too. but I guess weāre the crazy toxic oneās when it comes to that lol
I love the premise even alot of the delivery its just not going to go very far unless they can ballance it out and make the game more kat and mouse and take away some of the emphasis of speed runs (is this really the attention span of people these days).
The biggest problem is that there is no reason to invest yourself in fireteam they are boring and werent thought out, even something as small as making the long trophy claim perma dead the marine could make all the difference ,make it so predator can disrupt the mission through interacting with it somehow and force the fireteam into a botched mission requiring a longer stay.
We want this to be the epic game it should be ( the games need to be longer and fire teams need to use way better tactics meaning the mission presented to them should also provide some challenge they should be limited in ability to produce ammo and meds they should be scared too, limit number of miniguns launchers make classes matter predator should die if he gets melted the im ok with that oops didnt notice the minigun i want hard i want to āno lifeā this game for years problem is we get melted because our tools dont work.
The predator should not be so easy to track and spot its broken i want to want to play as fire team and i really really dont.
To help any Predator-preferred player in this forum thread, I recommend the following to get you by for somewhat simple wins until adjustments are made by the development team:
Berserker class.
Net gun and combi stick.
Healing kit, motion detector, audio decoy.
Large Pouch (more gear uses), Fearless (extra melee damage), and Impenetrable (less bullet damage).
The idea: Locate the group. Isolate one at a time to the best of your ability. When you see an opportunity, jump down, go stealth, sprint up and hit them with the net gun, immediately go into wristblade swipes (too long of a delay for a weapon swap, perk will give you damage similar to the combi stick), get a quick execution, and leap off into the distance immediately whether thereās someone around you or not.
The Large Pouch perk gives you additional gear uses, meaning your medkit now has 3 uses. This is helpful with a melee-focused class.
Iāve got about a 80% win rate with this strategy. I get it, 4-v-1ās are pretty much impossible, but like I said - this should hold you over until adjustments are made.
