Please! DON'T buff predator life, give him TOOLS!

#1

I know an update is coming and we have already talked about so many changes we believe are necessary for the sake of balance in this brilliant idea that is this game.
I’m a strong defender of buffs for predator and a little nerffing for fireteam (especially regarding to reinforcements rules and number of medkits availiable)

But FOR GOD’S SAKE!! Don’t buff PREDATOR life reserves!.
I believe his already got good endurance.

Instead, I believe you should give him ways to fight, to separate his enemies, buff his tools (also the number each class can carry), perks, and other things already discussed in several topics. Since he’s a… let’s say… an “army alone!”, he should be able to carry all the iconic weaponry he’s so famous for, not becoming a beast of steel that can jump on everybody, kill and get way with that.

That’s my opinion.

We already argued with you about this. The worst thing you can do with a predator is to give it dry numbers in the form of buffs, I’m glad that you came to this. The predator needs numbers, but in other places, less noise, better camouflage, more melee damage, more tools for long-range hunting, pull a sword, club, claws to the spear level with its own nuances, diversify classes. But do not give him dry numbers of stats.

I’ve always (since the beginning) wanted him to be able to fight, not to become a mindless brute. Let’s hope they improve him in these ways we’ve talked about.
New game modes, a longer match, and missions to help separate FT members would be good too I think.

would be cool if he could set up traps in The forest that’ll net them into the trees, and their friends have to shoot the net down or something.

wow… great idea!!! Havent though about this yet.

You know, we’ve already have bodies hanging on the trees that we can shoot down.
But a FT member would be even more funny to see. And helpful of course, cuz they would have to walk and look carefuly instead of just running like rabbits all the time. The life loss when they fall would help as well.

Yes. It would be cool. And I’m waiting for new predators. Berserker, Falconer, Tracker, Upgrade?

this game has so much potential!
Illfonic can make their name for life if they are able to fix it!

I would agree that the Predator needs a way to seperate FT members. Or something to make his array of cool weapons more effective. In an offline game where the targets move slowly they work great, but in a game like this online players never stand still for long, they zip and they zag and it makes it very hard for the Predator ranged weapons to do anything other than reveal his position.

The Predator is too easily spotted imo. Playing as FT I’m never scared of where it be might be. Improve his stealth abilities, not his health numbers.

In my opinion, the Predator’s HP can be even less done, because yolo Berserkers rush 1x4 with a spear like a slasher maniac.

Predators never do that. Predator is not the Character that jump ahead 1x4 and absorbs damage. A predator on a hunt uses cunning, ingenuity, traps, psychological pressure due to invisibility, hanging corpses, repeating phrases of victims through “baits” and so on and so forth. Very rarely, a Predator goes 1x1 in duel, and then only with the most worthy enemies.

Here it is better to buff the invisibility, the speed of the predator on the trees. Remove automatic exit from invisibility during an attack. Reduce the noise that he makes himself and his devices.
At the same time, reduce the walking / running speed of the TF.

Then the game will turn into a natural thriller in the spirit of the first part.

I am writing this as a TF miner. It would be more interesting for me to track down the invisibility, than to try to kill the elephant.
Also, for the Predator I would still like to play gracefully, and not stupidly rush out other Players as in a slasher.

Problem instantly negated by parry system

Other than that I agree with everything but lowering health, I believe the pred health is where it should be.

Parry system is a total joke!
They have to remove this or make it very hard to work!

The noises he make when we get close the FT drives me nuts!
I’d like they fixed these issues

I use it, but I’ve been more successful using the bear traps instead. If we could bring the two I would use decoys again. Since we can’t (hunter) I choose the bear traps. That’s why I ask them to increase the number of gears for each class.
If you want to distract and drive the fireteam nuts use the plasma caster. haha . It works for me.

#14

Exactly and they should have a parry but the system needs a tweak, it serves the purpose of discouraging preds to just melee spam and preds shouldn’t do that anyway they are hunters and they should use everything they have at their disposal but I won’t deny the preds have a lot stacked against them at the moment but meh.

Bro you’re mistaken. See this scene from Predator 2:

He literally jumped into a group of humans and fucked them up with his spear.
