Party System

#1

So the Party system is a tad broken. For two reasons

We all know that ft are deadly when in a squad, but the fact that the in games party system doesn’t force you into game chat is a big disadvantage to the Predator. I feel if you were forced to play on game chat the game would have a level of difficulty that it doesn’t have right now.

The party system should also void out specialization or make them lesser.

I.E Instead of deadly giving a 10% damage boost its a 2% damage boost.

Leader drops to 5%

Medic has the health buff removed while in party system.

In my honest opinion I feel these types of changes would significantly help out the balance

Their name icons still pop up when they talk though

They would be using earpieces IRL too so you wouldn’t be able to hear them speak unless they were yelling

But vision mode should boost audio and make them audible

I say when the melon men group up again we should go into game chat for fun :)
Would be very neat to let the pred hear our conversations

Not every party is a full squad.
I play this game with one of my friends, just one. We still get our asses kicked a lot of the time.

Sounds likeyou want pred to be on chat so that you can go easy on him if he asks.
And yes the party system should have some kind of game balancing mech like the Private modifcations have. If ever an over all or all encompassing 4 private vs 1 public pred counter BONUS addon. what that is might be well what you wrote in your OP.

Again what?

No I want a Balanced game. I just think GC would make the game harder cause the way the gc works

Yeah so it wouldn’t effect you then. Need 3 minimum for this to work

no i get you. i edited my post. Its obvious party matches are made up of 4 entitled FT ( who probably all agreed to an OP gang bang) and one pred (whose not prepared or the benefit of knowing who he’s dealing with.)
So yeah, maybe a kind of mandatory nerf would be a good idea in Parties.

Although I’m not saying all pre-made parties are like this, but if 30% of the player base are PCs and they do deathsquad parties with mostly full PC FT teams, there is an obvious problem with the balance right there.

How about the fact that when you are loading into a game , you cant talk to party members. Half the time you forget and end up talking to yourself

Here is an idea:

Illfonic should make presets (simple ones), that we can use in both Private and Parties. Simple and easy. Choose from a drop-down of 9 -12 presents (and you must choose 1) MUST!

This way, they tie both game modes together and people will get use to the idea of using modifications to boost, or balance the matches.

Party matches should unlock this feature for the Predator. But only in PArty. I wouldnt mind giving the option to the only one guy who didn’t want to be in this atrocious gangbang.

Idk about modifications in public games.

I just think the party system should try to balance the pre-made out by make the specials less op in terms so that a 4 man squad isn’t controlling an entire server till they log off.

Or no specilizations at all in parties -then add a new Predator specialization feature to it.
Thats a good judgement call, cuz they do tend to play for hours at a time.
