I can’t confirm the name of the dev that had acted that wasn’t, and it wasn’t acted toward’s me, but a friend of mine. He told me the whole story, and from the way he described it, the dev responsible was the very higher up, as in the very dev who created the ideas for the game itself. The story he told me was back in the day when you could put just Fearless, and Impenetrable on the Berserker before Speciliazation’s even existed. He had been aware of the movie where slamming the ground with the combi-stick which could down all 4 Fireteam members if they were in a certain range. He was very good at the game, and discovered that when equipped on the Berserker it was not completely overpowered. There was still a way for the Fireteam members, to down that Pred class if they all had grenades, and nee the game, and map enough to find where the Pred was. When that dev, and a few other’s were playing Fireteam (not streaming it at the time) He had downed all off them with the slam attack, and won the game. They were clearly upset about the loss, and sent him toxic messages on his Playstation 4, and even accused him of being a hacker (I’ve played with that person long enough to confirm he’s not a hacker, he is too strategic about every class of Fireteam, and Predator, while also being so when navigating the map to even be one) He finally told them that if they did not like the changes they made they could work on the game to make new ones. Apparently those dev’s were still very upset about the entire ordeal, and the next update heavily nerfed not just the Berserker, but all Predator classes. In the first patch I noticed that more bug’s had popped up, because the game could not handle it. The more recent patches have been when adding new content with not only ignoring all the bug’s that needed to be fixed, but the more the Fireteam became Overpowered, while the Predator classes are always nerfed weapon, perk, and gear wise. Which is my guess of how we ended up in this mess, an unbalanced…broken game with the unhappy fanbase you are currently facing. Even though they did apologize to that person later on, they still seem upset about the entire ordeal, because they keep doing the exact same thing every patch. Overpowering the Fireteam, Nerfing the Predator=unfixed bug’s + new ones=unbalanced, and broken game=very unhappy community.
Patch Notes 2.39
If this is true then we have a case of the Devs actually being bitchmade and nerfing Predator because they can’t win (which TBF going by the livestreams does not surprise anyone)
But also, gonna need more sauce than just a description of a friend’s match. This is the internet, people can lie all the time.
This actually sounds believable.
I bet they laughed at the pred while sipping their soy lattes.
Where’s the fireteams update?
Where’s the weapons update?
Where’s the Perks updates?
I did actually think was a lie, and thought that they were at the time badmouthing the dev’s, but I’ve actually also heard a few other friend’s say the same thing. Plus not only that, but the friend who told this story not only LOVE’s the Predator franchise, and seem’s to not have any ill will toward’s them…he actually was the FIRST person who pointed out that the game was unbalanced, and broken WAY LONG before anyone else knew the issues of the bug’s, and balancing issues. HE pointed it out before anyone on this forum even realized it. When that happened, the more I thought about it…the more it makes sense with how the game is being treated with each patch.
The devs who developed the game would not behave like that. All balance changes we make are based off of feedback on the forums, Reddit, and other platforms. Definitely not because one or two devs would like to make it so.
As I said before, if you encounter inappropriate behavior from any members of the IllFonic team, please report them with as much proof as possible. This type of behavior is unacceptable.
I know its your job and I actually think you aren’t that bad for a laugh , but im sorry , feedback being taken into consideration that players have put forward? I think that statement is totally false and if you say it isn’t false? Then I would like to know who’s feedback they have been following because they sound comical.
But I get its your job , its not you personally thats responsible for the games state , alot of us were here since the beta and we just know how false that is
Kass, you’re a queen, you’re awesome, and you deserve better. But I know 100% that this statement is only meant to make Illfonic look good, and is completely false and not your honest opinion. Its not true, it CANNOT logically be true; the balance-based feedback expressed on here, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. for the last two years has NOT been taken into any account. If any, only the smallest, littlest thing. There would not be such a universal outcry from every platform for changes if your statement was true.
Illfonic devs nerfing preds to shit and buffing FT to hell to they can have better winrate while playing as FT is not that hard to believe.
What?
tbh the more I learn about Illfonic, like their working conditions, how they work, the amount of people and cases like this about the people themselves, the more I see them as money-hungry manbabies that can’t take an L, and would rather let the game self-destruct itself with glitches and bugs than actually make it a better title (which would give them MORE money because MORE people would enjoy playing it and let others know its a good experience).
Ok…yup, there it is…thank you for proving point…time to screenshot this for a video later. That is THE MOST sus response I’ve ever seen, and DEFIENTLY NOT true
Step into my office 😉
Ladies, and Gentlemen…we got 'em, I’ve caught them on 4k
😁 I have so much more of the shady shit they pull
Yes
Remember when somebody in here joked about the FT buffs saying next dlc should be a bazooka and then we got Dante with a bazooka? That’s what she’s talking about
I’m not sure where you’re getting information about working conditions. I’ve enjoyed my time at IllFonic very much (we have excellent benefits and leadership cares about us very much) and I’ve observed very little toxicity on my end.
This is my personal opinion and not influenced by Illfonic in any way.
