Katana buff request?

#62

In real life you don’t die of one bullet. You’d be amazed of how long a human being can survive even with a bullet on the head. Sure, most headshots means instantaneous death, but some lucky headshots will have people not only continue to move around, but survive if taken to a hospital soon enough. Most bullets to the body will not kill you instantly and you are more likely to die from bleeding out than from the gunshot itself.

To be precise, 66% of people survive gunshot injuries in the USA… and that statistic includes suicides.

Like literally… 3,554 people annually survive an attempted gun suicide… a suicide… a fucking bullet to the head at point blank range… and 3,554 people manage to survive…every year

OMG AN ACTUAL ARGUMENT

Also I’ve never encountered that bug so IDK what your talking about

And I wouldn’t consider a bug apart of the balance either

Unless you want to advocate for keeping the bug in the game

How can I be a potato Pred when I don’t play Pred?

I like how everyone ignores that fact that I was a FT main

Your using realism so I used realism

Sounded like you were defending your RNG idea

Yes I know (barring the heart, neck, and thermal artery) I’ve heard the stories

Lawyers getting shot 15 times and still up and going

Criminals not going down after several mags

But you get the point cods health system isn’t realistic with both regenerating wounds and completely ignoring injuries and movimg at peak efficiency and ignoring blood lost

You get shot in the thermal artery your out one way or another

In cod your running faster than Olympians still

No not really. I still enjoy the game as it is right now. I think more content and bug fixes is the way to go.

As for the Katana I think there should be two blade types one that does more damage to support maybe pred uses the laser to heat it up.

The weaker FT classes would fare the same when I really think about it its those tanky builds that are a pest.

If predator can laser up the katana for heavies ;)

was… so you don’t play anymore?

Ok, so what the fuck are you doing here now and what the fuck are you talking about if you even haven’t played the last patch? Fuck off

#66

Yes because as we all know the instance you delete the game all knowledge gets deleted as well regardless of how recent you left

I still know the game and can still add to conversations.

Just because it’s deleted doesn’t mean my arguments magically don’t work anymore

That’s like saying the idiot said 2+2=4 so therefore 2+2=/=4 anymore because he’s an idiot

#67

fuck off

math is a well established, a well documented science.

A video game (today) is something that can totally change every few months

STFU and stop comparing oranges and apples

Your logic is worse than that of a toddler

Except bon of the updates have drastically changed the game

It’s all the same mechanically because the updates don’t change anything

And that’s been consistent for over a year

The only meanginful change has been Isa and even then she’s just anoth glass canon alongside Scout

Seriously @Fire @Finessology am I wrong here?

Has the game changed in the past month enough that it completely shook up everything about the game this rendering everything I say mute

Exactly

It’s the same trash with more fluff

My criticisms still hold because they never add anything that shakes things up

At most you have specializations but that just ended up just being damage boosts and modifiers to already existing mechanics

So yes

When the game doesn’t change at all and stays stagnant for the past year and a half it is comparable to 2+2=4

Wow another reskin

That really changed things

Not to mention that whole argument was about how you need to take each argument and disprove it

#71

you caught @JelouGaming on one of his screeching bipolar days its not hard to see nothing was really added to the game other than maps and stat stick characters with the same pre-existing mechanics (but elevator! but wrist launcher!) Then we got caves and indoor segments that are one sided and terrible to play in compared to the default maps.

oh yeah and the low effort asset flip that is Clash.

so much content so many playstyles matches are so dynamic now compared to launch lul amazing dont you see theres new shaders

don’t worry the reskinned smart disc on the new filler pred class will be the game changer

this time for sure

game has 70 players on steam they’ll still be here defending their carrot on a stick because they put 5k hours in when everyone else wisened up and left or acknowledges there’s something wrong with the gameplay loop.

As for the actual topic, melee will never be good unless its reworked. Treading the line between braindead and inferior to use. The only thing people will even pick in this category is going to be whatever has the highest initial hit damage, and thats still in Clash due to the limited ammo and damage buffs lol, and FT distracted fighting other FT.

What genius decided melee for pred should just be a string of button mash animations? Then you need a full mash combo to accomplish what two hits from bow or caster would and can be stunned at any point lmao.

They wanted to get by putting melee in without an actual melee system.

Oh just play premade? Why don’t you go do that in customs? Let me tell you why, because you want to keep the streams of noobs in randoms so you have something to stomp. Again, why don’t you play premade teams in customs?
Let me tell you something. If you would make 2 ques for preds to que into, a que that they will play against premade teams and they get a 30% boost to everything and a que against randoms with a 30% nerf to everything, 99% of preds would hit the second que and the rest of 1% would sit hours in ques because that’s how little premade teams are there.

People like you want to keep randoms but balance around full premade teams of 4 skilled players because you want easy games. The good predators have an almost impossible time to lose when hitting quick play, decent predators have win rates of 70%-80% at least. Bad predators are here complaining they need buffs. More so when melee in this game is the most easy crap to do on a controller and stomp most people (by most predators since its THAT easy). Melee needs a complete reword.

Pred ques are already garbage and you want to go after those who keep it even as down as it is… What do you think its going to happen when randoms can’t win at all?

Finally, I am not the one here complaining and asking to balance the game around my problems, YOU ARE! The game is already balanced fine enough for both sides. The play with friends fix you gave me, I gave you just before and you ignored it, you can set whatever rules you want there. Make yourself completely OP. Have fun with that.

PS. If randoms are to be ignored in balance, just remove solo que and allow only 4 man premade and balance around that, then the second this is introduced the game is dead because the vast, vast amount of people are like me that hit the que from time to time when we get home from work.

Oh and I still don’t get the point you are trying to make, that it takes no skill to play FT? Elaborating on your point works better then pulling randoms lines from my text.

I also want skill based matchmaking

And a ranked mode

I also used to main FT

Your just accusing me of this so you can dismiss me and my arguments

Because I don’t play anymore

And regardless a well designed game should be. You know balanced

Not to mention I’ve tried getting a tournament together. There’s just some things you can’t change.

You can’t customize individual weapons, perks, or gear.

Again more dismissal

Randoms don’t win period yet they still play

Balance around the best of the best is a pure balance

Balancing around you being handicapped is balancing around you

The one you gave in this same comment?

Should we also limit matchmaking to really skilled players?

There’s a difference to not catering and screwing someone over

Balance around the strong and let the weak stay

Simple as that

If you have pure balancing then it is no one else’s fault for your loss but yourself akin to dark souls where every hit you take is your fault

Have skewed balance and it’s the games fault you loss even if it is a close match

#77

I’ve already told you, a skilled based matchmaking is going to complete KILL the que for anybody not a potato predator. Yes, that would fix a lot of problems but its not compatible with the population of this game.
Ranked mode would have the same issues. It would see a bit of play at first with the little hardcore players we have but then nothing.
I am accusing you of it since you want to keep things as they are (because what you said and I’ve addressed you know full well can’t happen in this game) and buff the predator even more.

If you don’t play anymore I don’t even know why you want to chance the balance? This will effect all the players that actually still play it. Also this game is pretty well balanced for what it is.

I am not dismissing anything you said, I’ve addressed every point, me telling you the outcome of your demands is not me dismissing you.

Randoms can’t win? that is funny considering how much I actually do win in randoms. Randoms win enough to keep people playing. I am sure the devs have logs.

Balancing around the 1% of the playerbase as you lose everyone else is not pure balance unless you have skil lbased matchmaking and leagues to separate people. More so when you consider one side, predators DON’T HAVE THE ISSUE WITH POTATOES! What you demand is going to effect the vast majority of people and only one side. You know, if we balance around the best and looking at what Sharpy can do, I think we need to nerf the predators.

Balancing around the matchmaking is not balancing around me. Its balancing around the design of this game and its limitations.

Have you considered what will happen if we balance around what you want? Here is one example, I see a PC predator, I look at my team, I see 3 PS FT member, I quit, they quit, back for the predator in 10-15 more minutes of que. How about when I enter the lobby and I see new people? How about when I see good predators and I know I have potatoes on my team? Get ready for quitting players in the lobby. You also don’t seem to get that you need the vast majority of people to keep using that que or the game dies.

Yes, if you think playing with friends fixes your problems, you have custom games to fix your problem and not kill the game for the vast majority of people.

No man, there is an element you refuse to accept, one side, predators are not effected by the randomness of the que, this NEEDS to be taken into account. Its a bonus they get from the lobby of the game man. I would not mind they implementing certain bonuses for the predator IF he is matched against a premade team but that’s it. Again, the predator already has an advantage from the lobby.
If I have pure balancing where one side has no need to take into account for random people then its not fair for the side that NEEDS to take into account random people. If this was 4v4 FPS type of thing it would be different but its NOT. One side has at all times a premade since its a team of 1.

As I said, right now decent predators have excellent win rates and for good predators, I really don’t even see them losing in random matches. I think that is good enough, let both sides win.

Even if that was the case

Either I took the full charge plasma shot or the crate did. I’ve had crates exploded in my face and not go down. If I did take the full shot, then why did the crate exploded? It takes two or three uncharged shots to explode one, how could it had exploded with splash damage?

It makes no sense. Fully charged plasma needs a nerf ASAP. It is way to strong with certain builds. Damage overall needs to be nerfed on both sides. The whole percentage buff system is just broken, because it makes the most powerful attacks even more powerful. They need to be a fixed amount of health points, not a percentage.
