Getting spotted is frustrating but I usually end up blaming myself for not being more sneaky or aware of my surroundings.
Spotted
I mean, if youāre not out in the open, you wonāt be spotted. If youāre spotted, instead of staying out in the open get out of POV entirely and return. Itās helpful. Right. No idea why youāre so salty, you should probably take a breather and step away.
A fanwaker? Right. Because this game is perfect in every single way, a true 10/10. Iāve never stated that. I enjoy the game sure and I hope for the best. Makes sense as to why Iām here, so why are you if you have nothing but negative things to say about people that enjoy the game, the game itself, and the developers? Sounds like youāre wasting time, you should use that more wisely.

The point is they can see u though walls so u canāt run around and attack on another side until the cooldown has gone and takes clock time of the predator the only time the predator should be seen and outlined from spotted is when your in line of sight and especially in the trees to make to make it fair since its hard work to find a predator cloaked in the trees. And as a predator player we are not sure when they canāt see us through walls anymore once spotted

I get what youāre saying. Eliminating spotting all together doesnāt sound like the best method of action, IMO. When Iām spotted I just GTFO for awhile, always felt pretty useful for me. š¤·š»āāļø Worst part is the time that you could potentially lose.
But Iām sure it could probably use some adjustments on cooldown, etc. At least maybe when just spotting Preds.
Does anybody have the meme with the guy in the ski mask going, āEnemy spotted.ā? XD
Spoted - leave area - return - spoted -leave area - return - spoted - leave area - they call hellicopter - return - FT have go away

How about when the pred is spotted, a mark appears on his location number on the compass thatās on the upper mid screen, but not on him, and heās not highlighted?

There you go being hypocritical again Dragnar. All that bitching and moaning about people bitching and moaning. Remember the good-ole days when you were bitching extensively about the Ftās frailties? How dare anyone else express their frustrations as you did yours. Overshadowing your āi had a dreamā moment, are they? Bastardās for sure, the lot of them.

Personally I think the spotting is fine, BUT the Predās cloak needs to hide him better and he needs to be quieter when in the trees.
Visual
- Make the cloak more effective in general, and almost completely invisible when crouched/not moving
Sound
- Remove the sound of footsteps while in the trees completely (theyāre fine on the ground) but keep the sounds of branches creaking when pred lands/pred clicks/etc, howeverā¦
- Widen the direction of the sound so it gives only a very general idea of location. Itās waaay too specific. Unlessā¦
- Unless the source of the sound is within a certain distance of the player, say 20 feet or so? Then keep it specific. The Predator shouldnāt be able to be in the tree literally above the fireteam without risking being spotted.
Function
- Predator laser āfades outā as it gets closer to the Predator. Indicating general location without absolutely pinpointing him.
- Leaves donāt fall from every tree branch upon jumping/landing. Maybe a 1 in 10 chance of it happening. Itās not autumn in the jungle.
- Pred canāt be spotted for 3-5 seconds after being spotted.
I had a thought that the spot could create some kind of visual indication for the Pred. Like a 'red zone" area where he was just highlighted until he exited the area. This would be seriously OP unless the ability was nerfed with a significant cooldown. Should probably be class exclusive as well. But I think it makes sense in terms of how spotting should work. If the soldier points out a specific area, the rest of the team would be aware of movement within that area, but not be able to track an almost invisible object behind tress.

And it is what I mean āļøāļøāļøagree with you
ā¦and Totally agree with you
Dude NO! Itās not about avoiding being spotted, itās that the spot function can be spammed continually until the Predator is spotted. People just spam every square inch to find a healing/hiding Predator. Thatās absolutely NOT how its supposed to work or be used. Actually it shouldnāt even be there tbh. Itās a cheese mechanic used in a cheese way. Right now you can mash that spot button like a madman without any cooldown until you actually spot the Predator, then thereās a very short cooldown. š§

So here we goā¦ againā¦

You are completely invisible when standing still. So itās as effective as you are asking it to be.
-
500 lbs landing and walking/running/jumping through trees should make sound. The predator is not as light as a feather and will not move around as being one.
-
NO. This game emphasizes on the use DIRECTIONAL audio. I finally have use for my nice (expensive) headset. This was one of the main selling points of the game and you want to take it out?
-
Same answer as with point 3. Adding that there is a gear item called audio decoy to throw them off your track.
-
No. There is a perk called dithered lens for a reason. Light does never fade closer to itās source, itās the oppositeā¦ Learn how to conceal them, there are lots of people able of it without even using the perk.
-
Same answer as point 2. Summer, autumn, winter or fall, (Iāll be there whenever you call) does not matter if there is a 500 lbs alien strolling through the bushes and on branches. Stuff will move and stuff will fall.

Iām all for something that kills the spam spotting, as itās usually dumb FT members that take away my clear shots to the face. A thing some people donāt understand is spotting saves lives. Predator lives that is #alienlivesmatterā¦
If they do put a cooldown on it though, removal of SPOTTED prompt for the predator should be considered. He can already hear them saying āover there!ā and will definitely know heās spotted when the rain of bullets start to come his way.
DISCLAIMER:
(By you I do not mean the OP or the person replied to. By you I mean the people in general who are asking/demanding for buffs/nerfs to whichever side they are playing and playing against to make it easier for them to win without putting in the work, and in the process make the game less enjoyable for the people who actually put in the work and increase their skills in the game, predators and fire team members alike.)
I hate when you set yourself up in a area crouched and cloaked. Letting the first 3 ft members pass so you can get the last member and then you make a fucking sound! Jezus christ cant the predator stfu for a minute.
AUDIO DECOYSā¦ They are in the game for a reasonā¦

Iām well aware of how things work in reality. This is a game and I think some of these changes would help.

Wonāt make sense for the spotted to have a cooldown u cant put a cooldown on vision, but what needs to happen 0nce a predator is spotted the ft should not be able to see them outlined through a wall this should only happen when the predator is in line of sight and on the trees
