Patch Notes 2.08

#324

So why does the predator have to require skill but the fireteam doesnt?

All of you who think the balance is fine as it right now are stupid as shit.
As to why?

I dont fucking know.
You guys have no idea what balance is,
Or you just like having the complete advantage.

Literally it takes around 25 bullets only to kill the predator.

How is that not unbalanced?
How is that fair when pred has to go vs 4 ppl?

This is not balance for a 1v4.
This is balance for a 1v1.

At this point they really should just make hunt a 1v1 mode.
And 3 lives to pred and ft.

Then at least it would be balanced.

Right but the fireteam totally gets to do that huh?

Itā€™s ok if the fireteam does it.
What a fkn joke.

#326

I havenā€™t played mainly cause I just dont want to crash.
Shits so god damn stupid.

As for the absence of balance,
I just wish illfonic would say why they think this shits ok.

#327

You PC or console

#328

Console.
I used to have crossplay on, until I ran into a pc group who one of their members magically had increased fire rate on one of their guns.

Ppl think theres a huge difference between pc players and console, but to me there never really has been.

But with low graphics, and especially performance issues on console now, I see no point in playing vs pc.

If had an absolute guarantee pc players would have the exact same settings and shit console has Iā€™d play crossplay.

Tho at this point, I dont see a reason.

From the very beginning I joined this forum to try to make things balanced and good by giving feedback.

Unfortunately, it all fell on deaf ears.

Its annoying really.
I wanted this game to succeed and be great.
But I dont see the point in caring anymore.

Since illfonic clearly doesnt.

Thatā€™s part of the reason you see me so pissed on the forums.
I really tried my fucking hardest as a player to keep this game from being as shit as it is now.

#329

I feels like the next update will focus on the Pred. Maybe this was necessary in order to work out kinks on this. Then once were good and ready with less bugs theyā€™ll release ā€œThe balancerā€ update with hopefully no bugs or quick fix concerns. I honestly as Pred like the lifelike amount of damage inflicted by the FT. Who on purpose would actually stand in front of a team?

#330

Iā€™m not trying to insult or make a joke, I was legitimately wondering how you determined these players were in premade squads rather than just good random teams.

#331

About that hotfixā€¦šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…

If your hunting skills are good enough, FT can not extract in 4 minutes, thats for sureā€¦

#333

Do what? Engage the Predator? Just tell me how you can do that! Against a competent Predator, you cant even spot him rightā€¦

#334

You would be very surprised

#335

Thatā€™s not the best example, I must say. I mean, the Predator spotted 2 FT in the roof, why dit he put himself in the open? Why didnt he go around the building and attack them from behind? Why did he go in their direction? And what about the first jump? If he knew the FT was on the roof, he should stay on the ground and get outta there and try a new approach. Thatā€™s what the concept of ā€œhuntingā€ isā€¦ He simply thought they were noob players like him. That FT had at least 2 good players and one of them a really good sniper.

#336

The ft uses nothing but brute force.

So my question to you is this.

Why is ok for ft to not require any skill but pred has to play perfectly to win?

At this point all i see from you is that you struggle vs every pred you play against.

Why do you keep stating that the FT needs no skills? If that was the case, every ft player would be at the same level, but thatā€™s not the case. If the ft needed no skills to win, then every noob team could easily win against top tier preds regardless of the patch. If the ft needed no skills, then no pred would ever win a single match.

#338

Iā€™ll give you the perfect answer:
Because this game is called Predator: Hunting Grounds, not Call of Duty: Jungle Warfare.
And no, i dont struggle to win Predator, I win 50/50 of the matches. 60/40 the most. And Iā€™m not counting those matches where the Predator crashes after parry. I mean real good matches.
FT dont need no skills?? WTF? Thats an absurd. Against a good Predator, as a FT you have to know when to stay together, when to spread, when to run, when to camp, when to act like a decoy, when to continue the mission, when to wait, know how to parry, a bunch of stuff.

#339

PC or PS4

#340

PS4. But does it matter?

#341

Because any good player can see that!

You put a few bullets into pred and thatā€™s it, gg, hes dead.

Youā€™re arguement falls flat because the only people who struggle vs pred are those who suck.

And the majority of the time they suck because they dont care to play well, they couldnā€™t give a shit less about improving or anything like that.

Those who will never put any effort into any game can not be helped.

And thatā€™s who all these buffs are for.

In the end it only makes good players too strong.

Also, fps takes no skill.
You look at your target, and shoot them.

Take cover when you need to.

That is it.

Like always, Iā€™m talking about the characters, not the players.
A good player might, very slim chance, but they might be able to win.

But thatā€™s only a few fucking ppl.
Hell if I had no bugs to deal with and I decided to go full throttle and train, I know I would be one of those players winning.

But despite that, that doesnt take away from the fact that atm, there is no fucking balance.

Everyone can think whatever they want of me, but Iā€™m literally one of the very few people who actually wants balance, and I have very from the very start.

Most of you, primarily mains, and especially ft mains, do not care about balance and let your ignorant bias blind them to what actual balance is.

#342

Yes, PS4 playerbase tends to be less competitive and effective in this game. Thatā€™s not saying theyā€™re inept across the board mind you. Plenty of PS4 players, a lot on here, that can be very high tier in this game.

#343

All of that shit is simple common sense.

Whenever we play vs a good pred its literally, rush the mission, dont stop moving.
Keep line of sight with each other.

Tell me, how does simple ass shit like this amount to requiring a huge amount of skill?

You win 50/50?

The people I play with with a good 97% of the time unless someone fucks up cause were not taking shit seriously.

And this is on ft.
So maybe itā€™s because youā€™re on a lower skill level that you dont see anything Iā€™m saying.

Look.
Think whatever you want of me.

But I cant stress it enough.
From the very fucking beginning, all Iā€™ve wanted was for this game to be good, and balanced.

At this point, it needs an extreme rework.

You dont have to believe me.
But if the game is to survive, it NEEDS balance and good performance.

Personally I think itā€™s too late now, mainly because of the bugs.

But that doesnā€™t change that all I ever wanted was balance.

Iā€™m not the bad guy here.
