Disregard all of what I said. I play on PS4 with cross play on, and I tried to take out one fire team member from the start. The entire team was in a party and when the first member parry stunned me the three snipers take off my mask and second wind me 2 minutes in. Just disregard this entire post because I got triggered at that and posted.
Possible Improvement To Parrying

They already did decrease the stun time. This suggestion doesnāt help anything as far as I can see. Iām trying hard not to be rude but do you die to knives a lot? Have you tried not pushing melee when they have a knife out?
Why donāt I ever run into Predās who just let you knife them to death. šā¦ I still havenāt seen a video of a 1v1 where a player beat a Pred with a knife. Itās almost like when it does happen, itās to embarrassing to post because itās clear the Predator was glitching or absolutely new. (If itās ever happened)
PS. OKH can I have a way to turn last man standing off, it gives no benefit to me and I kinda hate it.

I like it but the beating heart sound is not only annoying but it doesnāt allow you to hear your surroundings.
Stun time wont matter in the grand scheme of things, cause the parry is to delay the pred, and for inexperienced preds to knife them to death, making the size of the knife matter what you can parry, So the gutter and other larger knives can parry elder sword,smart disc and wrist blades, and Dutches knife can parry all the weapons including heavier ones like Combistick, Alpha sickle and Katana. That way when you level up the knife you unlock means something beside being a cosmetics.
Iāve only done it twice. If a pred allows the ft to knive him to death, he deserves it. Iām amazed at how many preds are still going in hard on a melee slam and get wrecked, then they cry the ft is op.

I play a scout, so it gives no speed increase, I canāt hear, and I have to run away early to have any chance of evading the Pred.
Itās fine on other classes who gain a benefit but as a Scout, it literally just hurts my experience.
āYour the last on leftā hereās a bunch of nerfs to help youā¦ ok well thanks for not considering my class when you introduced it guys. Itās 1 of only 2 real problems I have with the game. LMS and fucking Field Lockers.
The last man standing should get full health bar, super speed, quick release, dexterous, baneā¦pretty much a line of cocaine.

Iād like it to give Heavy Hitter and to keep it in line with the thread, the original parry mechanics, so longer stun and longer interval where itās actively parrying during the animation.
Full health would be nice, every time Iāve had it, Iāve had no heals and less than 50 HP.

Also, if the ft temperature goes up, then the pred shouldnāt go completely invisible. Letās make it fair 1v1 is almost impossible to win as ft unless the pred is a noob.

The temperature thing is what annoys me so much, you canāt just hide behind a tree mud up and vanish anymore. You need to run a good distance away and keep cover between you and that isnāt particularly easy to do normally, I feels like Iām glowing like second wind, š¤£.
I do think it will be adjusted over the next few patch so Iām not super worried. Iām just still annoyed that they didnāt consider my class, I know itās childish though, so not really mad at them.
I wouldnāt be opposed to a meditation type perk that prevents it and give some other bonus when it isnāt active. Like youāre calmer and so donāt Argo AI as easily.
PS. Not sure how I feel about Pred losing Cloak, maybe if they choose to take off the mask and fight you, it can disable Cloak, Caster, Thermal and use those buttons for melee options.
hahaā¦a true gentlemen duel š

Good luck winning this one bro hahah
parry needs no nerf, if anything needs buff to further prevent preds from rushing melee
I donāt die to knives, but I have a very aggressive play style, so I try to take out one fire team member from the start. I play on PS4 and often with cross platform on, and I find it kind of irritating when the fire team is 4 PC players in a party where the first member parry stuns me and three snipers take off my mask and second wind me 2 minutes in. Also disregard this thread because said scenario happened and I got triggered

I second that, LMS pisses me off.

Spoken like a true PC Fireteam player š¤£šš
Actually, the parry mechanic is a fucking joke. FT player stamina drains are of no consequence to the player, whereas they have a massive impact on the Predator. The stun effect that the Predator experiences allows a FT player to either dump some rounds into it or get a bonus stab in on it. The Heavy Stab has a fucking built in parry frameš¤£
How is it rational that a 6ft human with a combat knife can dominate an 8ft brick shithouse Alien Hunter with a huge sword? The momentum alone should push the human back onto his ass. 8f anything, itās the FT player that should get the stupid stun effectā¦but FTs cry OP and illfonic cuck to their cries.
Same here man. LMS is useless. At least if it would make you immune to net gun or something. Before I could try and run to reinforce the teamā¦ Now I need to hope the pred is bad and I can solo his assā¦ Now I am not saying there are not lots of preds that you can solo but I would like to try and revive the team instead of fighting him off.
Last one I had to solo because he got really lucky and set up a ton of traps at the right radio. so I bated him inside a house and he tried to kill me in melee as I was running around a big table :)

What I think there doing is making the balance work with all modes, Which if this balance was in a multi Predator mode with more than 4 fireteam memebers this balance would make a little more sense, currently inexperienced preds will get melted and melee is not viable for them whatsoever now, if we pit 3 preds vs 8 or 10 ft all of these ft buffs make sense, which would also explain why the parry is the way it is now but Im just spitballing rn.
Believe it or not the stamina drain got me killed a few times. For example, a predator jumped on me on the roof, I parried him a few times and then when I tried to run away I had to jump over a pipeā¦ No stamina and he killed me there :)
Also I would like to see the mentality of āhow is logical for X to bla bla blaā its a game man! How is it logical that a sniper round does not instantly turn the predatorās brain to mush?
I get his point, the last update has made this game FAR better from a gameplay standpoint. Before the last update I had countless games end with the FT dead or predator dead 2-3 mins in when the pred first engaged and pressed only melee. Now they actually play some range, its far more fun (at least for me). The braindead charge and smash melee was so unfun to playā¦ But whateverā¦
