Queue Times and the Actual Issue

#1

Queue Times aren’t the main issue. It’s like everyone here has forgotten how Video Games work because it’s a “Predator Video Game”.

Of course the Queue Times are going to be stuffed when new DLC Content comes out for Predator Classes. Players want to obviously use the new class right? So how could Illfonic even come up with a solution when it’s an issue caused by the Playerbase since everyone and their mom wants to be a Pred Main? Competitive Games like Overwatch has their DPS Queue all clogged up since everyone wants to be DPS Character unless you’re part of a PreMade.

So what is the difference here? Sure Empty Lobbies are a thing but that’s an actual issue instead of just “I waited more than 5 minutes to get into a match to play a role that obviously everyone in this game wanted to get, this game sucks bro”.

They can introduce earn-able modifiers but with a catch. You earn them by playing FT matches, and spend them as either Pred or FT. This way Pred mains are encouraged to play as FT.

Modifiers

  • Add big earth game, 5 points (can add multiple)
  • Add a small Alien animal, 7 points (can add multiple)
  • Add a big Alien animal, 10 points
  • Bring a friend, 25 points… two Predators would need balancing modifiers, 1 weapon each, no second wind (is the simplest option for stopping the Pred’s from rushing)
  • Hunting Beasts, Pred dogs, 10 points each, max of 3.

FT modifiers, One per match

  • Automatic Reinforcement, 15 points (When one player left gives one reinforcement)
  • Supply drop, 10 points (airdrops a ammo crate with 3 bags), Called by Flare gun
  • Air Strike, 30 points, let’s you call in an air strike using a laser rangefinder, same effect as the one that destroys the truck/crates. Probably 3 of them in a triangle. Could show the location on the map like the Pred explosion with a smaller area effected.
  • Extra Troops, 20 points, 10 NPC troops spawn with the FT and follow whoever bought them. They focus the Pred over other NPC’s but will defend their leader.
