The NPCs/AI are so redundant they pretty much shouldn’t be in the game.
Stop showing their location on the minimap. Then they become an issue to be dealt with.
That would balance a great deal.
apparently FT are psychic and know where anyone not on their team and not the predator are without actually sighting them…
FT members all share a sensory link so what one person knows, they all know. The game just doesn’t tell you that. That’s why when one of them shouts OVER THERE. They all suddenly know where the predator is. It may have just been an oversight that Illfonic forgot to explain all that.
But they auto see every AI character that spawns in their vicinity, regardless of if any member is looking in that direction.
You might want to read my post again… I wasn’t talking about them seeing the predator
Might be their augmented hearing implants then. The NPCs are running around so they’re able to hear them and the game just sort of puts them on the minimap to simulate that effect. That explains why the predator sounds like an elephant when he runs, it’s the hearing implants.
I don’t know what you’ve been drinking…
But post me some and stop posting
I’ve only had my black coffee this morning, it’s starting to taste a little rancid so I might have to toss it soon.
In all seriousness I was just fucking with you. The reality is this game has a lot of stupid design decisions and the only thing that makes sense is the ridiculous shit I said in my other two posts.
Generic copy + paste FPS asset, is generic copy + paste FPS asset.
for real lol, just hit a deep freeze last game as Pred, pretty nasty lol
Funny part is that the Pred can’t see the AI on his tracking system but the FT can because the AI is meant to be part of the FTs objectives and deemed necessary whereas the Pred can literally see nothing except the FT even though they are supposed to have better tracking tech. Just because it is deemed not important. I kinda almost feel like the AI should show up on target isolation too but that’s more because I like consistency and for things to make logical sense even if slighly less convienent. If the FT’s tracker can see everything so should Preds. If the mud blocks thermal and TI, then Cloak should block Spot, etc.
That said, it should also have some kind of indocators in thermal scan and TI to denote stronger vs weaker prey.
