Pointless topic

Huh? So they gave the FT a burrow? Well damn can my pred at least get a specialization already!? Lol

[Bobby_Bill]

So Illfonic cheated, and they’re OK with that?

[KameofWar]

Weather they knew or not it would be impossible to prove we just know they did

[Bobby_Bill]

Well hopefully that spot gets patched, so they can’t cheat any more

[KameofWar]

IDK man at 2s you can see he is INSIDE that rock by the textures popping around him i’m pretty sure the predator would’ve only seen the rock and not him maybe the thermal might catch him or he might see the gun poking through the rock

[Cadillackid]

It’s from the 3rd person perspective so that kind of graphic appearance is possible. Kinda like seeing up under the pred mask at certain angles I’d think.

@KameofWar

what we would legitematly need is more effective tools or perks with more specific uses or just unique passives that help in some way dealing with what PC players tend to be good at but not necessarily universally good which is landing bullets being well co-ordinated and finishing missions quickly tracking predator easily through sound

having the ability to spend V to get equipment wouldn’t help

having things like “if spotted predator takes 10% less damage” or “for every FT member within 20m of the predator increases predator damage delt by 4%”
or “after losing 25% of your hp your movement speed is increased by 5% stacking up to 3 times halved for airborne movement” “if FT member is within 5m of the predator they produce no movement based sounds” If a FT member is 30m away from other FT members predator takes 5% less and deals 5% more damage" “during target iso/CD overload predator regens 1% of his maximum hp per 2 seconds”

then for weapons it would be things like a speargun (so it’s not a projectile weapon functions like a single shot bolt action rifle reloads after each shot) explosive tipped arrows different types of plasma casters (a rapid minigun like one an single shot sniper version(no splash dmg) then what we have now)
a weapon that allows the predator to move the FT physically which requres some kind interaction of the said FT to break out of like a whip or something

gear like a drone or some kind of summonable mob to force FT attention radio jammer to take away the minimap or other parts of their UI a grenade like object whose AoE applies a slime that slows the FT or eats away at their ammo (takes away say 10% of the FT ammo when hit by it or 1 of their equipment chosen randomly) a dart that marks a FT member shot by it and reduces any healing received they get by 20% for 2 minutes

among other things that i don’t feel like coming up with more ideas these are what we would need increasing the shit we take onto the field isn’t going to help us as it would either take too long to use (medkits) or it’s simply not as effective against co-ordinated teams Beartraps and Motions/decoys

albeit giving the predator a dedicated button to throw equipment like the fireteam has would be MILES better as then we don’t have to waste time equipping the item using it then re-equipping the weapon we were using and just get shot or ran down during the process

as right now we have a problem of OPTIONS

we have 4 tools (basically) we have the ranged tools PC HHPC Bow: Used to poke damage at the enemy for medium/low risk - medium reward
melee tools All the melee weapons: used to burst down a single target at extreme close range for high risk - low reward
CC tools Netguns beartraps used to force the FT to do something that prevents them from doing damage or helping teamates High risk - High/medium reward
Misc tools mo detectors audio decoys medkits does something that doesn’t directly help the predator deal with the fireteam Low risk/low reward (medkit is of course a higher reward)
useless tools wrist launcher does basically nothing you shouldn’t even bother equipping it

of these options we more or less only have one thing we can use for nearly every situation which doesn’t always work well as the risk is medium at best against high end players which at that point you are very much relying on your opponents to screw up which 15minutes isn’t a long enough time for that to work out

it’s kinda sad this is going to be here instead of elsewhere you can also tell i’m doing my Campaign prep right now so all my game design gears are rotating

i don’t feel like typing this stuff out again nor do i want to to rot in off topic this seemed like the best place to put it

[Robo_2696]

Just going to give this a bump

[Cadillackid]

Post update bump

[Slade_Viscus]

Predator Specialization (Called concealment) that makes deployed-gear slots not spottable from fireteam perk or spot button. I think this would also be a good specialization

[Xenomorph_2099]

Valkyrie Exclusive Specialization Ideas:

Valhalla Awaits: Melee Damage is increased for both Fireteam and Predator. Last Man Standing Benefits are increased while Temperature is decreased to normal levels. While in Last Man Standing, Predator is permanently Spotted.

Aeisr: Increased Attack Speed and Stamina Cost with Norse Hammer and Battle Axe.

Winged Demon: Gain increased Leap Length and half the Stamina Cost for your next Leap after a confirmed Charged Plasma Caster hit. Does not Stack.

[Aihrui]

I also got some Specializations for Berzerker & Viking:
Blood Beast: While on low health, your damage is doubled.
Quick Escape: While in second wind no stamina is used.
Bulldozer: If you sprint into a Fireteam soldier he will be stunned for a moment.
Warlord: Curtain heavy hitting weapons do more damage.

For Scout or Valkyrie Class:
Archer: All ranged weapons do more damage and don’t need to be charged.
Bullet resistance: You will take less damage against bullet-based weapon’s.
Plasma resistance: You will take less damage against plasma-based weapon’s.
Swift Knife: Wrist Blades, Elder Sword, Alpha Sickle do more damage.

[Slade_Viscus]

Alpha sickle does really good damage currently and it’s probably one of the best melee weapons in the game with good tracking.

When I play Predator I’m not really threatened by the plasma weapons but what does scare me are explosives! Such as the rocket launcher and grenades because those things do a lot of damage especially grenades with Unleashed. So maybe change it from plasma base to explosive based damage resistance. :)

[Aihrui]

Oh, yeah. Your right. Explosives are awful.

Also some of the Specializations could be for the other classes as well. But maybe some class type specializations for each class would be awesome too.

[Cadillackid]

Bumping for comparison

The ideas we gave them vs. what we got

[Rr19]

Kinda got Primal Survival.

[Cadillackid]

Vicious and Disciplined are also similar to ideas on here

[ElderPreddy]

Thanks for telling

[Cadillackid]

Ha…guess you were right in a way lol
