Remove quick claims

#1

as someone who has played since day one I have always found that quick claims are quite cheap, and when I do them as predator I dont feel like I have earned the claims, they are just to easy, you just jump in quick claim and jump out, I can even do it as a scout pred against 3 who are all shooting at me and still get out and find a place to heal, so here is what I have in mind

Instead of being able to quick claim have the predator pick up the fireteam member, maybe it could be a 1 secont animation and then be able to carry them off to a safe place where they can then do a long claim (or the only claim in this case) and that way it will feel earned, like they deserve to get the claim, they could even make a new one where they hang the person from the tree and get the skin instead of the skull if they are up in a tree and do the claim, which i think would be cool.

and before all of you who only play predator come at me with the “BuT ThEn wEe cAnt GeT any ClAiMS!!” all I have to say is get better at the game and toy with your pray, it is annoying to just die as a fireteam member and your buddys cant do anything to stop it.

first off yes i do agree pred should be able to pick up downed FT members and move them as long as it’s interruptable and tie’d to like a stamina bar give him a special skin claim using the red predkour trees
2nd
if a pred quick claims in front of enough FT he probably dies assuming they have good guns as there are a handful of guns that kill the predator in 8seconds or less sustained fire there are 3 dudes up in this situation and we can assume that the pred probably took some dmg attacking the first guy

if the team doesn’t punish pred for getting a quick claim that’s their fault not th predators fault for it being strong

Your way would be even worse and would feel even more cheap because it’s the same you kill a FT member pick him up, jump out from fellow FT members firing at you and bring him to a safe place to claim him.

in my opinion it would be better this way, as the fireteam member that is picked up could spot him as long as he is trapped, that way the fireteam has a chance of catching up and saveing their friend

At least now how quick claims work the other FT members can fire at the Predator for a few mili seconds while he is quick claiming.

If you would be able to pick up a downed FT soldier and bring him out to isolate him from fellow FT fire that would be crazy cheap and OP

the problem with quick claims right now is that it is not fun, and it gives to mutch power to the predator to just focus one guy down for an easy win, I win 9/10 games as predator because I am able to just down a guy with my range weapons, jump in, quick claim and then jump out and then start all over again, its far to easy, and if you think that my idear of being able to pick them up is to bad then exstend the animation of the quick claim, or make sure that if you take damage the animation stops, that way you feel like you can save your friend from a berserker who is just focusing you one by one, and as you need a full team to take down the pred then its not fair to be able to just remove one teammember with one press of a button.

what I am saying is that yes pred needs to be strong, but being able to remove a player from the game and fource the fireteam to eyther wait to use respawn to save it for when more people are down, or waste it and just have it happen all over again with no way back, fireteam needs teamwork and the pred needs skill to survive against a team of 4, it should not be easy for the predator, and to this end I would agree with some people that they need to do something about obj rushing as fireteam, because as long as that is the only way to play fireteam, then the quick claims must stay I understand that.

all I am saying is that this game has a long way to go before it is ready to be truely enjoyed

and I would agree that would be funny as hell Nova

I think if all 4 fireteam members are alive after reinforcement, and kill the predator there should be a Revenge-Claim where the 4 Fireteam members cut off the predators head. Spine rip animation on the predator after defusing.
To get extra xp for securing the body or giving the predator a taste of their own medicine… That would be sick

This technically is possible, if you long claim someone and his body is between you and the enemy firing at you, he will act as a meat shield.

The hardest Task for a pred is To kill first one

#14

I play on ps4 and find it rather easy, I can understand it if you play on PC, there the pred has no chance

Quick claiming is a huge balance issue. But most predators will just spear you right when you get revived, or slam, or spam arrows, so yeah. Good luck getting any balance back to the fireteam. I guess illfonic thinks people just want to destroy the fireteam over and over with slams and spears. My advice. Only play fireteam with friends they all use assault or support with thick skin and/or dexterous. At least the match will last longer.

That’s such a lame excuse for balance issues, especially since pc is only a tiny fraction of the community. With the added problem that it is almost impossible to prevent cheating in a number of ways, regardless of balance.

what kind of heretical human drugs are you on?

Just no.

How bout this, maintain line of sight with your fireteam, and when the Pred comes in to get that quick claim, you punish him for making a bad play.
