Dear Noktrum.
We hear your concern and are going to remove the ability to spot the predator, from the fire team. To balance this, we are going to give them target isolation as well, with a 30 second cool down, and 10 second duration. We hope you find this change favorable.
Yours trully,
One of the devs who wants you to suffer.
XD.
No but in seriousness I get your guys prob with spotting now, needs fixing.

I honestly believe spotting is not the issue it’s cloaking just because I can’t tag you don’t mean I can’t shoot you in your face or tag the general location. Honestly sometimes I won’t tag the predator and just pop shots into his head so he has to move and become more visible. It’s rare for me to lose sight of the Predator and it’s easy to follow them in the trees because they are limited on what routes they can take.
I am by no means a pro but if an average player can do it spotting isn’t the problem unless you’re just irritated that the words “SPOTTED” keeps popping up on your screen.
No no, spotting is ok, no problem with that, as long as its throwing an eye icon in the direction you want your team to look/shoot. It is absolutley pure bullshit if that eye icon sticks to an invisible predator and makes him visible thrugh solid objects. Mayby in ANY other game, but not in a game about a stealth hunter. Not spotting - marking needs to go

I’ve wasted so much ammo shooting damn tree stumps or rocks thinking I was shooting the Predator because of that stupid red silhouette 🙄 Yeah, either rework it or remove it.

I get it I think spotting is too OP.
FT should shout out compass points and use coordination

Exactly! I would love for spotting to be just that eye icon you through on whatever your own eyes spotted. Then its up to your team to coordinate and take action, look in this direction, locate potential threat. That is where the fun should be - whats the fucking point in marking cloaked pred red and makeing him visible thrugh walls/rocks for everone??? Utterly stupid nonsens. Especcialy when PC FT members can spam spot - thath renders cloaking useles, if you will take cloaked preds constant vocal activity under consideration…

You on pc?
Yeesssssssss…
And before you will judge me - YES, I DO IT, WE ALL DO IT!!! The goddamned mechanic is in the game, why would we not use it to our advantage?!
No I’m not judging you hahah I’m saying I’ve noticed it’s a huge problem on pc cause of mouse and Keyboard. It’s like not a problem at all on console but on pc it’s downright oppressive

Thet is correct, when I’m on FT I can spot and mark the poor bastard within few seconds, not knowing where he is…

Perhaps only show Predator icon on mini-map?
I also hate the enemy red outline and friendly blue outline bullshit, takes the immersion right out of the game for me.

Ther’s an idea Illfonic - you ppl watching this?!
Yeah, on console it’s actually inconsistent to use the spotting mechanic. I can see him, aim my weapon down scope, press the spot button and it doesn’t do anything other than place an eye symbol in the air and make my character say “Over there!” giving away my position and making the Predator aware we are checking for them which is counterintuitive. We’ve opted to NOT use spot mechanics, and relay position via party chat because letting the Predator know you’ve spotted him makes them flee. Definitely needs a rework, and I agree with Noktrum on this. I’d hate for it to be removed, but unless they can sort out the spam and abuse then it needs to go for the overall health of the game.

This would be welcome. Actually force the randoms I play alongside to THINK and work together… one can only dream of such coordination 🙄

All they have to do is keep spotted but make spotted not possible on a predator that is cloaked when IDLE, if a ft member wants to shoot around at random and clip a predator by chance then fair game
