Like I would love to use offensive gear. Unfortunately, I play actual support. Kinda sucks, but ey, I’m tryna help.
Lazy's Full Game Rework and Rebalance guide V2.0 INDEX (Not wip but also not final)
Also fuck his name.
Supports irl are some fuckface with a big ass backpack and a basic vest. Yenno why? Because all that extra weight believe it or not is NOT compatible with that extra armor. Its too heavy.
Support should be fire support not ducking child support.
Makes no sense to have the most health and the most gear. Makes him too fucking useful and everything else is redundant.
Reflect the change on pred side too
And for fucks sake illfonic need to learn that
Speed and stamina should not be going up at the same time
When one rises. The other falls. And vice versa. Thats how you maintain balance.
I think it’s fine as it is, the only other thing I can see working, is you get a total number of character points.
And these points are used for gear and perks. So you could almost sacrifice perks for full gear loadout, or, sacrifice gear for a full perk loadout.
What class?
Support, if they were adjusted to fit with all classes having 12 base stat points. The support would end up getting 9 perk points (I think, it’s late and math).
They would automatically have an ammo bag and then spend their gear points on grenades or whatever.
Nope. I disagree.
Health alone would make him useless. And giving the gear points to other classes, they would use offensive gear as they should.
I also dont really agree with your stamina and speed outlook, but this is a completely different matter all together. Aside from scout pred, none of them have good stamina.
You can get pissed off.
But the ft is fine as it is.
Recon and scout just need something unique to them, as a matter of fact all classes on each faction do.
But this is the problem with low power games. You cant really get anything cool, otherwise it breaks the game.
Idk as much ad I want more perk points, I dont need them.
Health plus perks allows him to become a far more hard offensive player. Tanky or damage it makes no difference. Hes the fighting class.
Health plus gear means you have no reason to play anything else especially on fireteam.
The only reason berzerker isnt running rampant on pred side is because unlike ft, stamina actually matters a god damn lot on pred side. And gear not so much.
So they go hand in hand. Despite them being different topics.
The whole game isnt fine as is otherwise we wouldnt all be sitting here having left and right bitch sessions 24/7
Second note on this. Adrenal + long jump on any class that isnt berzerker on pred side and you are pretty much playing like a scout. Able to jump far as fuck. Fast as fuck. As many times as you want as fuck boiii. You are quite literally bunny hopping infinitely.
Where as berzerker jumps once and he has to wait for his stamina.
Berzerker.
THE FUCKING MELEE PREDATOR. Has no stamina.

Balancing games is hard hur durrr
Sigh ok. You’re hell bent on how you see it is the right way.
Doesn’t matter what I fucking say.
Like everyone else.
But unlike a lot of you, I dont go fully off my bias.
So whatever man.
And slasher. Your points system is fine. Just remember you gotta change the actual cost of the perks and gear to make it work.
Look beyond what the game is and change it to how it needs to be. Dont let the limits of its shitty state rn discourage you.
Im sorry bro i am hellbent. Because unlike most things in this game.
Its the absolute most stupid decision ive ever seen a company make in terms of balance. It makes noooo goddamn sense.
Edit
Please do explain how im going off my bias.
I’m probably the least discouraged person around here.
The points thing does need Gear and Perk cost changes but I can’t suggest how best to do that without knowing the goal.
I need to see the new mode, so very badly. 😜
Hmm. Thats a good question actually.
Edit @Slasher_Clone
Heres what I think. If you are going for a point/gear balance system of 12.
And assumedly on each end of the spectrum would be 3/9 and vice versa. I would balance around that. Make medkits and ammo bags 4 each. Make small utility like smokes and thermals one each. And then make things like self revive syringes and quick heals 3 maybe? Everything else being 1-2ish range.
Perks id say utility needs to be cheap and damage and damage resistance needs to not be cheap. Thats all I can say lol.
I’d try that out. Personally I think self revive should cost 2. You only get one and that’s half the cost of 2 serette’s.
I think it will encourage Predators to down people for stealth kills.
You know what? I dont give a shit.
Whatever.
They’re already listening to the wrong people, and they have no idea what their doing or wanting to do.
No matter what the fuck I say, no ones going to listen, even tho, my only goal is balance.
You’re issues you’ve pointed out to me, are not even the problems that need to be fixed.
As for the stamina thing,
All you fucking need to do is give zerk more stamina. As for the others that arent scout, they shouldn’t fucking need adrenal boost to fucking have decent stamina.
Lol. Doesnt matter how good I am.
Doesnt matter how long I’m around.
No one listens. Then everything goes to shit .
But ppl like shit.
I mean look at smite, destiny and warframe.
All were good games at one point, now they fucking suck xD.
So whatever.
But I can adapt and make it through bullshit.
Can you?
That final question isnt directed at one specific person. It’s for everyone.
I can but I refuse to.
Ive been watching worlds I love burn for to fucking long. Im done. And I think you are too. Because your anger has finally reached that point too. Though I commend you for holding out as long as you did.
And yeah. I feel you. They have been listening to the wrong people. And even if they werent you are right. They have no idea what the fuck they are doing.
That would make sense. I think thats fair.
I think quantities of each gear needs to be looked at again though.
Prove it. Go kill ft right now. With how it is xD.
Do it. You wont. No balls.
I am America and so can you.
