FT knife is a ābackup weaponā, usually intended as a last resort when you run out of ammo unless you are a Dutch-tier badass. Itās certainly not the signature weapon of the FT. Yet it is still far more effective than Wrist-Blades. Both FT and Pred have plenty of other weapon differences, the backup and designated badass weapons should be equal, imo. Also if they truly wish to fulfill the whole āwe reward you for adhereing to the yautja codeā, the Wrist-Blades should be more viable to actually encourage their use beyond just wanting to look like a badass that killed you with a handicap. Iām not saying the claws should be the BEST weapon in the Predās arsenal, just at least equivalent in effectiveness to a basic combat knife, sheesh.
For the sword, I love it, my second favorite weapon BUT multitargetting would have to be very limited and its reach is fine. Itās a sword not a spear. Two maybe three in one swipe if they are very very very close but too much multitargetting and reach removes any point to the combistick besides doubling as a javelin. Give sword something else like you did club so all three fill a more unique purpose. That makes more sense than functionally turning the sword into a non-throwable Combistick.
You will always have people in public quick play as most DO choose it out of preference, and will be even more inclined to do so once queu times are figured out. Private Match is still intended to be multiplayer vs. Not sure what valid argument you were trying to make there. Ok, sure, it can function as a half-assed but servicable solo/training mode but if only two players, even if you both pick preference FT it wonāt allow co-op against AI without pred. It pretends like it will at first and then randomly switches a player to Pred before final game load. So functionally the same as Quickplay if you qued into a session that somehow got into a game with only one to two players. Still multiplayer, still playing and likely paying for the game to keep it alive. Plenty of games have a Private Multiplayer and a Public Multiplayer. If a few play Private and are still buying DLC, etc. game is still alive. If you completely alienate anyone who doesnāt want to conform to all of the quickplay supremecists you will likely in fact lose customers. They will play other things that allow them freedom of choice instead of telling them to shut up and take it how you want it with no choice whatsoever. This is potentially more detrimental to longevity than allowing them to play the game how they want to instead of catering only to a select portion of the fanbase that thinks everyone must choose their preferred choice instead of deciding for themselves. Iām sorry if this comes off as getting an attitude. I donāt mean to be disrespectful. I just STRONGLY value freedom of choice and customizability over having someone else decide HOW Iām allowed to play the game I bought.
