Good job illfonic

[SprinterCZ]

I don’t get a kill for a predator if enemy leaves the game in advance… This problem next repair ;)

[Massacher]

Just finished reading the notes. Excellent. Sounds like it’s a bit more robust and balanced now. Thank you Illfonic.

[xOG_KILLERx]

Excited to hop in and see how the changes fair. Great job staying up to date!

[Silveri]

Impressive patching speed last one was just 7 days ago.

[DesertDog]

Predator complainers who didn’t do enough testing, don’t know their class and thus bitched on the forums, got their wish.

Now the queue times will be much longer for predators

They have no reason to bitch and moan anymore since this patch was only about buffing predators and nerfing fireteam to make it a dead by daylight copy

[Renegade]

Thanks fellas. Much appreciated.

[ForrestFox]

Good work :D
<3

[Imperius97]

Thanks for the patch. Please add some sort of prestige or progression system for players to keep levelling after 100.

[Lahire]

thx so much, lets try this now!

[SammyToeJr]

Ok ok i like it but i dont think they touched the Pray enough but i’ll wait to play too have my Full opinion

[Arts]

Great job.
Keep the updates coming =)

[Arrow_calis]

Good job, maybe the plasma cannon full charge nerf is unnecessary. Hope to see more hotfix like this in the next week. Fire team is still stronger than predator. But keep it up!

[uk_spawn]

looks like most issues have thought about. ill give it a try out.

Thanks for the patch :)

Still hope to see some changes to the audio/ease of knowing where the predator is.

[Groxiverde]

Incredible patch. You guys are the best.

[Highfisch]

New item notification issue is still not fixed. All my outfits for Fireteam are marked as new since forever, it’s so annoying.
The rest of the patch seems solid though, nice to see the predator getting a buff.

[MikeVandoorne]

Thx for the fixes, i will test how well it works now.

[Kycer]

Great!!! You guys are absolutely amazing!

[preddy]
