Kinda agree with @Scarface_1983, if you’re playing pred and you’re stationary, you’re dead. Also if you couldn’t parry an attack it would be abused to hell. That’s why only the 3rd swing of the warclub is unparriable, and let’s face it if you’re landing all 3 swings with it you earned it.
Can’t do that with the axe because it doesn’t have a standard combo
Room trapped by fireteam
He had with 2 combo hits on light attack and only 1 with hard
When you aiming you moves slowly. Moving slowly=standing still in this game
Maybe only Heavy attack would be unparriable because light attacks is horizontal but heavy is vertical hit
1 does not equal 2, just like moving does not equal standing still.
For FT is equal when pred standing still and moves slowly. Only monkey(Jumping after every shot) will move “normal”. And yep, 1 hit unparriable on AXE is normal with heavy attack, when you will see his heavy attack speed, maybe you will understand why i writing about unparriable heavy hit on Axe becuase it’s not horizontal like light attacks
The game can be balanced if everyone on both sides died faster.
I would say make it so pred can die in 20 bullets, but were already there.
Now all that’s needed is for plasma caster to one shot, or get some kind of secondary effect.
If you ask me, pred should be able to destroy ft guns with the pc, since I think it would melt the guns.
Right now theres no real consequence or cool effect for doing a lot of damage to a target.
OR, make both sides harder to kill.
Give ft mobility and abilities like in titanfall, futuristic tech, and do the same from pred.
I’m sure preds have full body armors and way deadlier weaponry they can use.
But this in between we have, like in between low and high power is why balance is such a bitch.
Medium power really fucking sucks, especially for this type of game.
However, as for balancing the current game, I truly believe giving the pred more weapons to hit multiple people will help out alot.
A huge problem with pred is his arsenal is too 1v1 focused.
And secondly, give pred a way to truly wear down the ft.
I think being able to damage ft weapons would be a huge step in the right direction.
Cause its not like it would be the easiest thing to do.
Third, and this is my newest idea, if ft is going to get multiple passives, then let’s give pred more actives.
Such as another offensive ability instead of just slam.
Stuff like that.
Idk this patch was beyond bullshit in terms of balance, but I think these things would help.
After all, if one side gets something, the other should as well.
The pred got a cloak buff and plasma buff in the last patch
Well, they need focus balancing NOT 1 vs 1 style, they need think about 1 vs 4 balance because… I realy need to explain that?
In fact, cloak buff is nothing with spot perk on recon each 6 seconds. And FT damage is too high melee weapons is still dead except katana and Axe(Maybe sycle). Plasma buff is good
You know I’ve been saying that for months right?
Lol have you ever read my post on balance?
Nope, i’m wasn’t on forum 1 month xd
As with any other asymmetrical game, balancing is not possible, I mean it’s in the word ‘asymmetrical’. I don’t understand why people keep focusing on balancing something that cannot be balanced. The only way to make it more enjoyable for everyone is by implementing a ranking system. But keep in mind that 4 highly skilled ft players will more than likely always win against 1 highly skilled pred player because of the simple fact that you have 4 working together against 1 working alone.
But in Evolve(asymmetrical game) highly skilled monster and highly skilled hunters had the same % to win. 50/50 how i like to said
The cloak buff still doesnt stop premades, and it was what, slight splash damage radius increase?
Which does no where near compare or match up with all the things ft got this update.
You realize assault has 3 damage boost bow right?
4 if someone is running leader?
The specialization.
If you’re smart, which the good premades are, the pred cant take full advantage of the cloak, because at the distance you go fully invis,
We can just break line of sight or fire with pred.
Try to go in close, you die in 2 secs, at most 5, if you’re not leaping around.
Mind you, I’m not speaking from my pred side, I’m speaking from my ft side.
Another problem with this game in terms of balance is mains.
Mainly ft mains. They dont want an even fight, they just want to have an advantage, to kill a pred alone.
A few pred mains have kind of stupid complains, but most just want a fair fight.
I’m a hybrid. All I want is balance.
Ok you’re just proving my point right. When everyone is on the same level the odds get closer.
The suggestions I made would help with balancing.
ALL of my suggestions I’vemade throughout this games lifetime.
I’ve been here since release.
I’ve only ever been after balance.
Problem is they listen to the wrong people.
Back when I only played pred and was a pred main, the whole ice skating and full roof slam was a thing.
And I even said it myself, full slam damage through obstacles was too much for the ft. It wasnt fair.
So it sucks that even tho I’ve been after balance from the very start, and I could see unfair things even when I was a main, ft mains NEVER see how things are unbalanced and unfair for pred.
I cant stress it enough. All I want is balance. It can be done.
Just play privates with people you believe are on the same level as you and you will find yourself winning/losing 50/50
That gets boring because you have to rotate pred.
And it’s not like I really get any groups asking to fight me.
The ones that have I’ve beaten.
I’m all for privates if I can play pred.
I would love to keep playing pred vs pre mades to practice.
You can only get so much in publics.
But, with all the performance issues, it’s really, really hard for me to actually push myself and take this game seriously.
The lack of a rank mode doesnt help with that either.
Balance aside, I see no hope for this game with all the technical issues never being truly solved.
Makes me a bit sad cause this could have been an extremely good and popular game.
Scarface is a good fireteam player and experienced. But he plays only ft so he doesn’t know how it feel to play Pred. After that patch the Pred is a pure joke, one Grenade with new perk take half hp of the Predator.
