they can barely make one map that doesnt shit the bed graphically. get real.
TARGET ISOLATION NEEDS GONE ASAP
If you read my introduction you’ll know your answer doesn’t make the game balanced.
Ok I am going to apologise, I had read up to 100 comments on this thread and then realised that theres over 400… so skipped to the last 50 and read through them too…
I personally think that target isolation could be tweaked, especially at the start of the game where the pred spawns in before the FT and practically gets a instant alert as to where the FT spawned, any pred could then make an educated guess as to where the FT could be headed. It does take away the hunt from the “hunting grounds” aspect to the game.
How about an alternative mechanic in game? Does anyone here remember Evolve? When the Hunters where chasing down the monster there were birds on the map that would spook if the monster got to close or ran past them. This could be implemented for the FT too, when the FT sets off the birds the Pred gets a audio/visual cue on screen to say that something has spooked them. This feature would also offer the FT the option of stealth too, so many times I have been so bored when all my FT just busts into a camp guns blazing, we are some sort of special forces and all we do is storm a camp?
Anyways I feel like this method would make the FT feel like they are being hunted and also make the pred feel like hes hunting. Could you imagine in game someone stepping on a branch? “crunch- Who tf set off the birds?! the pred is so going to be on our asses, move move move!”
Open to suggestions or changes but I think that could be a better alternative as they already have birds in game, all they need to do is increase the frequency of them.
What are you going on about you just put on 3 together using graphics computer.
ah yes graphics computer. You’re right, what was I thinking?
I do hate repeating this. The predator spawns at the opposite infil location that the FT chooses, so you do not need to use the Isolation scan to find them at the beginning and make a guess as to where they could be headed.
Awesome one of the best answers so far and can work also deffo good shout. :)
You keep saying that but you still use target isolation and dont say you dont liar, and maybe that need fixing also by not having predator start opposite maybe spawning elsewhere!!!
Understandable, but this is not quite the problem we are facing though, the issue is the Pred isnt given enough time to “hunt” the FT, if you extend the game time/missions in game, then change target iso so its not “hey they are right there” it would be more interesting for both FT and Pred, I am sure most of the guys that play Pred want to hunt not “ok they spawned there, guess ill go either A or B as they are the most likely choices and just wait”
also currently with mudding up and cold perk, the thermal vision just isnt robust enough to rely on without additional mechanics. its just blue. there are no other mechanics other than spotting yellow specs on blue and half the time it is moving blue specs on blue. thermal vision is the issue if you want to remove isolation.
Agreed ingame time needs addressing and fire team missions lasting longer to enable more ingame time/fun
there are sound bubbles… but we already have that. looking around waiting to spot sound bubbles. super fun.
Well it’ll stop having super lazy ass predators!!!
not wanting to perform certain tasks in game because they are poorly implemented chores and unfun is not the same as being lazy.
Ok that makes sense, I can only speak from limited play time with Pred, If target iso got tweaked then a feel like maybe thermal vision should get tweaked according how iso got tweaked.
no one is lazy when it comes to taking down the fireteam. squinting to see shit moving on a completely blue screen isnt the height of skill and accomplishment either. you just gotta stand still and listen for gunfire eventually and go in that direction. that is functionally lazier than using isolation.
maybe instead we could have a taunt where the predator screams “MARCO” and the FT responds “POLO”
No your right but one push of a button to activate target isolation to locate a fire team is!!!
AKA spoon feeder.
Mud, the ultimate counter to all tracking powers outside of combat.
THAT would be fucking great xD. I know ppl like me who love messing around would fucking love that. Give it as an option to both pred and ft. So if they wanna go back and forth they can.
