Eh… I wouldn’t say that. Im still a firm believer that while the visible cloak while moving is movie accurate. Its a stupid design decision. Crouch walking and jumps from branch to branch (not leaps) should be full invis for pred.

lol no. Bots not detect you at range so you can play with them.
Main issue with marking for me is ability to see marked Predator through walls and other obstacles after he start to move. So in fact you must stay still behind some wall to make sure that spot marker is gone. But if someone have Scout with perk ‘tracker’ you will be markered over 4 seconds. Thats really sad

This guy is so full of shit. I just played a team of 4 Dutch and all they did was spam spot, and with them all being Dutch and heavily powered, near impossible to make an attack count. There either needs to be a cooldown, or spotting limited to certain classes. There’s no reason someone should spot you cloaked 300 yards away. Totally unrealistic, and not even close to Predator accurate. Billy was staring right at the Pred and still couldn’t spot him camouflaged. Spotting needs adjusted someone, don’t know how that goes through this update totally untouched. And also I have crossplay off so I don’t have to worry about PC mooks.

But how do you know that the spot marker has gone?
Also…4 seconds!..wtf
Turn off crossplay.
True ! I’d like to use our compass more, just like in a BR. Right now it’s pretty much useless.
I think this is the purpose of the scout and recon classes. With their X10 scope they can see pretty damn far.
Welcome friend, to the visible hunter zone!!!
EDIT: I think as you climb the levels you will be more frequently matched against higher level FT who all too well know this trick.
Yeah, too bad that’s not how it works though. You don’t need to be in the scope down range to make the spot. It’s a horrendous action that is flawed in the game. If Billy couldn’t see a cloaked Pred 100 yards in front, no one should be able to from farther without being down sight.
I strongly believe that spotting in game is ok, as an eye icon droped here and there to direct your team attention to something.
Waht shuld be, under no discussion, removed from this game is that very icon sticking to a cloaked predator, highlighting him red and putting a green icon over his head. So I’m shouting MARKING needs to go, not spotting.
If he’s 100 % cloaked I agree. If he moves and ain’t 100 % cloaked, in some movies people saw them from a decent distance.

That’s not what you said in your last thread. You said both needed to go.
You cant know this. You only know when you got marked. But when it’s gone you dont know, so 2 seconds or 4 it’s just your ‘sixth sense’. And where is balance here idk too. I hope some day Illfonic will change this shit or at least make you know about mark on you
Sweetheart, can you quote me please? I honestly can’t remember (cocaine dose that stuff)
Yeeee… Nah, thats the usual git gud bullshit with no reasoning behind it.
I am not a noob at all, and other pretty skilled players think the same. It’s more about immersion, adherence to the characters, and keeping things fun and captivating. 4x human players means 8 eyes. If they re actively looking for you, it’s already pretty hard to be stealthy, although is still 100% on you, you’re not good at being stealthy, you’re screwed, and it is perfectly fine.
But at the same time, when you have 8 eyes specifically looking for a predator, he should still be able to retreat from their vision without an artificial mechanic preventing him to normally disappear behind obstacles because you get constantly marked/tracked on their map and they get superman x ray vision.
Like others have said, my suggestion is:
Keep the spotting “eye” mechanic, cuz it’s necessary and still believable (hey I saw him over there!)
Remove the “marking” mechanic OR tone it down heavily

Guys, I’m super confused rn. Is patch 1.09 out already?
Lol no, I’m just eagerly hoping that Illfonic don’t spend so long on the next patch and we get a hotfix which fixes - besides other things - the spotting/marking issue.
Spam spotting has gotten so bad that I won’t play this game anymore until there is a fix. I would suggest
At Least putting a substantial cool down on it.
I also HATE the red outline.
