Still seeing people break free from nets very easily despite having perks like trapper. The rate they break free is as if 1-2 secs, however without trapper that might be possible but with trapper it wont be, despite the recent patch stating that only a limited amount of input is allowed for minigames like nets, this things are still happening. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Macros for breaking nets still works

You sure somebody did not just cut them free?
they were alone
Well in that case I guess they did a poor job at fixing it.
With macros, it used to be able to be done instantly, it has a minimum time of about 1-2 seconds now. They needed to get a reasonable time where the fastest people could hit F the 16 times to release, and if they add a longer delay, they will further break it for people that know how to tap their F key rapidly. They’ve nerfed it for people that can press F, and they have disabled the ability to macro out of it instantly.
so what do u think about macros then? do u think its fair for people who play this game fairly? or do u think this extra advantage is alright for people to obtain? just wondering wat are ur thoughts
There’s no way to tell how the button was pressed. We’re now in a situation where if the button gets pressed too much in a period of time, it will be ignored, which will now hurt the very best at pressing F and will optimize the macro users to how fast they should be pressing F for their macros. So it’s now in a situation where anyone not using a macro is slowed to macro speed and you just gotta decide what the right macro speed is, not what skill could determine if the minigame were something other than just hitting F repeatedly.

i see ur point
Yeah, we have a good minigame for defusing, we have either hold F or press F a lot for everything else. We need something else because pressing F a lot encourages macros and holding F discourages skill.
If anything else existed, we would need a magical button to put the predator in stasis as you’re doing it.
fuck, i’d prefer a quickgame of press f, press q, press c, press z, than just press f repeatedly. you’re stuck without an ability to fire or change weapons etc. when youre netted, why aren’t the controls other than moving a short minigame to get out instead of just something that you’re pressing a single key/button over and over again
Sure, and the predator needs to press a combination to shoot the web out. Or do you think its balanced for someone to push a button and you needed to do a combination of keyboard presses as you need to run away, maneuver around obstacles as the predator is beating down on you in melee. Also the predator can SPAM IT, then back again to the combination… Absolute fun!
The net gun is already extremely strong against casuals/random… What do you think would happen when you complicated it this way?
The net gun is already too powerful, it has way too many shots, it can put FT players into instakill situations, but getting out of it sucks, it’s not fun. I want the getting out of it to be more interesting and skill-based and the net gun to be balanced. I also don’t want the game to be optimized for PC macros while making console players that can press a button quickly weaker.

Then make the target immune to damage as they are webbed in and they do the combination, make it so its just CC some guys to get them out of the fight as you attack the rest. But making it complicated as the predator is beating down on you in melee… No way dude.
I’m not the god damned game designer here, dude. I’m just saying pressing F sucks as the way to get out of a net, but also that the netgun sucks and is broken, so there needs to be something more skill-based than pressing F but also far far less broken than being netted and meleed by a predator is currently.

Make the Predator break the net once he hits you, you know, like getting knifed by a friend.
Anyway, I posted this problem on the patch notes as soon as they posted it was fixed. It wasn’t. Even posted the amount of taps and time spacing. Takes 1.3 seconds

Pretty much this. Remember, your FT allies butter knife can cut through Neo-Steel, but the Predator Katana wouldn’t even phase it.
I think they should change it to a gear slot. It would prevent the Predator from melee’ing with it after using it, but give them more options on weapon approaches to a netted enemy.
Lower net count to 5, make nets reliant on positioning via buffing wallpins/floorpins, make the FT go through rdr’s reinforced lasso minigame to escape lol.
Saved the day.
But really the current iteration where the pred jumps in and nets two people with his 15 nets and tries to shank them as they squiggle around is ridiculous.
