Player Retention 1st then New players

There needs to be better interactive objects that make u focus more on the objective rather than on predator…

Like lets take that generator from DbD game… u need to time it and if u fail it alerts the predator… but it wont like alert alert him with sound rather with like just indication from a far that smth is going on…

But anyways lets talk about what fireteam gets from that…

Fireteam will need to be constantly focused to not screw up to not alert the reinforcements or enemies + predator… they need to act as a special ops unit to survive (LOGIC)…

Anyways… the game lacks RNG for the objectives very much so… cause everyone gets boring after few matches lmao…

That would retain alot of players for sure. At least for a while. I think a steady flow of content even if its just little stuff would retain alot of players. But maps is the most important part. Maps should have came before the cosplay preds in my opinion

I agree 1000000% the mission need to be more in depth and the pred needs alot more stealth

Cause the more ur not focused on predator… and it comes out of nowhere… while ur doing missions… it startles u and gives u whole new gameplay experience rather than being like multi tasking…

so if they add like more in depth immersive puzzle missions it will be good…

I say give leaderboards and stats. Also give customizable “something” that you can display your progress based on some achievements.

PS. For new players, I say the best way to keep them around is for veterans, when they see them, don’t floor them as fast as possible. Let them have some fun before you kill’em. Personally if I noticed its a new predator I defend myself and when he leaves, even in second wind I don’t chaise him, I let him heal.

If they do that they need to considerably nerf the predator. Imagine trying to do puzzles and think of solutions as the predators rains death on you, as well as the NPCs.

I’ve always said the focus should be on the predator, not AI and not missions. The MOVIE this is based on, has no objective once the predator appears aside for SURVIVE! If I want puzzles and missions I would be playing other games.

Oh shit this is cool as hell

I suggested they remove target isolation or make target isolation only show like footprints and direction where people or animals are going… if u get my drift…

So when u activate it… it shows footprints and where they are heading… so technically it wont show exact location …

For decent + predators that would work, for new predators and learning predators, more so those that don’t know the maps that will not work, and those who would be effected badly by this, they already have enough issues. This really does nothing for pros but screws the new ones.

This could work by implementing achievements, like complete X hunts with no target isolation so then pros would remove it to get points, they could add even more, like let’s say for FT don’t heal or who knows what.

It looks great to me. Imo. But I understand you.
I just follows kratos advice. Lol
“Keep your expectations low and your never disappointed”

Leaderboards and stats would do nothing to this game would not retain a single sole i can promise that

#31

What do you mean it will not work lmao… you can’t possibly know that… the only thing i know is… they will take a lot of time to understand it and lose by time… but there will be tutorials obviously lol… tutorials helped me first time playing predator…

#32

I’ve seen predators who need like 3 minutes to find the group with the game as it is. New predators need it.

It would work for me, I would love to see how well I do, have leaderboards to climb and some type of icon or something that displays in game how well I do.

Meh. Leaderboards are just wave egos around. Sure they can add them but that will not retain the current player base.

That sounds more like human problem rather a game problem honestly.

I’m still holding on a point that target isolation is at this point too like easy and simple… and it just does not give u proper hunting vibes… i would rather want like my idea for target isolation while increasing objective time upto like 40 min…

#35

I can’t speak for other people but I would love them, perhaps we could get a poll to see how many people but ego goes a long way with people me thinks ;)

Even with my shitty skill as the predator I don’t need it since I know the missions and the maps. At worse I just need to jump between the bases and 100% find them. Sounds are also an easy giveaway but again that is exactly the point, this does noting for decent + players but its bad for new ones.

There is one other issue and for that I actually use it, tracking pigs. Its going to be pretty hard to find them especially with how buggy they can get at times (the spawning part).

Well you ain’t wrong

I know that players x game need to work together… but seriously it would be easy once u finish tutorial and the devs make the tutorial easy to understand how new target isolation would work…

New varied maps have to be top priority. One average map since launch is scandalous.

All other priorities are rescinded.

IMHO, more polish and attention to design for Predator weapons. A few more weapons like that will keep it fresh and interesting on the Predator end.
I think they did all they could on the FT side of things in terms of weapons but they could add some new faces, new voices to keep it fresh. Maintaining a realism is important to the design, but it could also use a few new laughs in terms of NPCs.
If we are going to get the map Airstrip, this should include some new Interactable things and some new mocap for that can be reused. We need to have the new maps freshen the experience while not exceeding the scope of what we came for.

I would love it to be like an opened world non-sense like Red Dead, but there is just not that much budget.

So i say, some new toys, some new characters.

I dont think they will have a problem making new players, but they will need to do some freshening up in order to make the existing base smile. They have us hooked but we should also be able to make a good review of updates rather than make us shrug.

The latest update doesnt make me shug yet because its so user defined it will take time to figure out.
