Stupid Zerker Emptying my bank accoount...Let us keep some Veritanium

#1

I’m so tired of losing all my Veritanium because a frustrated Zerker decided to throw his life away getting one claim.

I guarantee I did the most damage to this damn thing, put him in 2nd wind twice. Spotted him almost every time and prevented him ever having the drop on my team.

We kept him back the entire game, punishing him for every mistake. We played well and EARNED our reward. He played like crap, but because he’s a freakin Zerker, he decided to just drop down on me and melee spam, down me, and get the claim, dying in the process. He gets a free kill, and I lose everything.

This is nuh gud.

Zerker aside, let us keep at least SOME of the veritanium upon death. This way, stupid kamikaze Zerkers can’t empty your bank account when they realize they can’t win, and you’re still incentivizing players to play well and stay alive for a bigger payout.

No. All your vert are belong to pred. Lol honestly I dont even know how I feel about it. Considering my prey usually never get a chance to collect. It’s a constant OH SHIT HES OVER THERE HE LEAPT THAT WAY- NO HE DIDNT HES OVER THERE! WAIT IS THAT A FUCKING CHAINSAW?

lol to me it makes sense to let pred steal very but I also get wanting to keep it.

Just a thought, what if pred could have a special enemy he can kill for like 500-1k vert a match? While the ft can keep whatever they get?

Is that what’s happening? Is the Vertanium you collect being transferred to the Pred? I hadn’t noticed that.

…That’s, hmm…I get it but…

How about the Pred gets half, you keep half, the Pred gets a claim bonus (from the game not your pocket) based on whether it’s a long or quick? That seems fair. Again, my issue is mostly just a stupid Zerker whose ass I kicked the whole match gets my shit on a suicide run…I don’t care for that. No. Not at all.

used to be not that bad but then i guess they thought letting players open boxes intell they get something new as a bad thing. i dunno

I like the idea of that for the Pred. Makes more sense than running around collecting it for him. I actually do think the fireteam should lose SOME of their vert upon dying as it encourages them to work together to stay alive. I’d worry that some players would just jump in games to farm and not give a crap about the team.

You can actually pick up vert from victims if they collected some. I’ve done so a few times.

Well damn, this news to me I never paid that any attention…I will from this point on tho.
