Net Macro B.S.

#1

So the net macro bullshit has to be addressed. It’s usable by anyone with a programmable keyboard or mouse or PS4 controller.

thanks to @ONICHAN101 & @Draedark for their time to record.

Took me all of 5 seconds to set the macro up for this video…

ROFL

I wonder if there’s a macro for parrying… Like just spamming the hell out of LMB…

#6

possibly

#7

If you just slash you parry… the mechanic is utter ass… by me just slashing i can block a predator that jumps with zero gravity. Can literally choke slam aliens… and my 210lb suppt can country crock his ass into submission? Lol

So just tested this with @Draedark
Macro parry is non existent (you can make a macro to do it but it is so pointless it actually makes you more likely to die).

Tested it from .1s to 1s

Yes, the macro ends up making the parries more predictable. In my opinion you would be better off to tank the first hit, parry the second and then get your damage in.

This is assuming you have trouble parrying the first strike. If not, then let the buttery blade go snicker snack!

let’s not get off topic too much however, the net release macro needs to be dealt with.

(it should also be noted that I’m using a 19 year old keyboard) The original logitech g15.

So many more issues than net gun macro… i agree netgun should be 3.5 sec flat or 5 sec with trapper perk

#12

Hope Illfonic sees this and bans you

#13

net should be the same as bear trap…

#14

bans me for making a video to show something that shouldn’t be in the game?
in a private match, specifically made to test if it’s possible?

@richterbryan

We make videos of the bullshit so that they fix the bullshit.

As I previously said, I made the macro to test if it’s possible…

#15

It bafffles me that this is even possible and wasn’t addressed before release

#16

We had the bug where you could macro quickfiring your gun. They managed to fix that. This net-bug existed around the same time, it was very weird to see that one bug got fixed but the same bug with a different tool does not.

I know people who use this “feature” at times. I really don’t like it. Same with stamina regen sliding, knife fights that cost no stamina until you parry. Also very realistic that the predator loses stamina using melee attacks, but the fireteam does not.

Consistency matters, but not in Early Acces.

#17

It’s the exact same tool.
Macro spamming a single button/keypress

Should be a similar fix to the weapons,. It just gets me the devs missed this one, it makes the netgun trivial to players abusing macro’s.

#19

Fuck… that would explain some situation I had before…

There’s technically nothing wrong with this. The mechanic is to “mash” or repeatedly press F to break out of it. Which, of course, can be programmed to do by the keyboard without the game logic having any knowledge of how you are doing it. Can’t really be fixed as is. They should just change it to a long press of interact/F that is like 3-6 seconds like you have to do for trap.
