Oh dude I know. I was trying to think about what could make this game more balanced not too long ago.
Somethings missing. Some kinda mechanic. But I have no idea what.
Kinda Feel that the Net gun is Becoming the new meta

in your testing mate was the predator attacking you also? aka in a live game, team have split as this always happens, you get hit with the net gun, stand still for 2.5 seconds to get out, without getting downed/killed and escape itās clutches? give us a clip to watch then mate, post it up and show us all the way! as if i stand still for 2.5 seconds i get downed, if i move when netted it takes like 5-7 seconds to get out, so i need your help! i donāt think there is much of a skill gap in mashing square so i must be doing something wrong. like i said a perk might help given there is already one for the bear trap. everyone is using it for a reason.
It takes literally less than a second to break out if you stand still.
wait he said he tested and it was 2.5 seconds and youāre saying less than a second, who is the oracle here?
You on ps4? I can show you in a private match.

never going to used, Bow and elder sword are my weapon of choice.
itās cool iāll test it out now, iāll not lie i didnāt realise it was faster if you stood still, iām normally having to run as the guy is on my ass as soon as heās shot it

Yeah thatās why everyone needs to cover each other lol. But no lie, if you stand still its faster.
i think my problem just boils down the amount of fun you see of people playing in parties on twitch being all co-ordinated and shit, yet Iām getting put in games with clowns for the most part and just leads to a mess of a game.
That is entirely true lol. Thatās why I only play ft in a full group lol.
But if you can get a team going with pred mains its typically a slaughter vs the pred xD.

haha indeed mate. hopefully theyāll add some more maps/modes so itās easier to convince my pals to buy it! the reviews that hit YouTube put a nail in the coffin for a lot of peopleās view on this game. personally i love it, not perfect but iām playing as arnie in a predator game in a pandemic. so all good for the most part lol.

Lol Iād say for now just look for ppl to group with here on the forums. Makes ft a lot better to play.
I really see this game doing about as good as Splinter cell black list where it great! for about 1-2 years then it just diesā¦ it pains me to say that because i love illfonics work on F13 and i love predator butā¦ i have to be honest here

The projectile gets stuck on stupid corners and fences, so it doesnāt need to be nerfed.
This was in testing, in a private match, while not moving, while hitting the F key at an oh-shit oh-shit pace but not as fast as humanly possible. Quicker times would be possible for sure.
I can try and get the number for moving if you want, but it was definitely longer.
Depending on your class and perks it can take multiple melee hits from a Predator to down you. I think a Support with all the bells and whistles is around 6-7 claw hits (while netted, no syringes, standing still). Pretty sure it takes longer than 2.5s for Predator to hit you that many times.
So i just looked at the footage and we did a moving test, however while moving I bumped into a pallet (was moving backwards) and was still not out of the net after about 7 seconds. I stopped at 7 seconds and stood still, started over and removed it in 2.5s.
Our goal was not to see how fast one could free them self, but if trapper perk affected net time, and if moving affected net time.

Thanks man. Yeah i was probably over-reacting on the nerf mention earlier cos itās been happening all day to me so it was getting on my tits, but a gear/perk to choose in your loadout would help. Then if I donāt load that gear/perk least thatās on me, like the bear trap oneā¦Iāll put that in my loadout if players keep using the traps as cover for a few games to see how it plays.
So as youāve got the element that youāre likely having to move, so itās say 7 seconds, then say another 1-2 seconds to get your bearings back/turn and gun ready so it is pretty lengthy in-gameā¦Iāve been using Dutch with OWLF and 175 health and Iām still downed with like 2-3 shots when in the net, and thatās way quicker than the 7-10 seconds to get out and bearings etc. I tried standing still and got out but still hit twice during the net then downed by a strike as I exited it.
Or if not a perk a gear that helps you get out quicker like a tough knife or summat to counter. I dunno, I know weāll never have the perfect game it just seems like everyone started using it since 1.10 dropped the other day so these are just my thoughts, no biggie, still gonna play the game not here to rant and say āah this is shit im not playing anymoreā more just feedback. And remember itās fine if you have a good team or playing with mates, itās the rando player element for me as someone seeās me in a net and they run the other way mud up and hide lol.
net guns fine the way it is, if youāre playing with a decent team they can just melee it with one swing and youāre free, or you can run towards your team that can light up the pred while youāre mashing the get free button.
Same I use combistick in a load out literally for only throwing , preferably while trapped but if I have a lined up shot Iāll use that tooā¦with smart disk lately just for fun. I use to be a Combi Net gun style but wanted to mix it up
