The 2v6 needs to become reality

I made the mode. We all liked it. We showed it’s real, we showed it’s possible. Everyone wants this (or something like it) next instead of whatever nonsense you have planned. Release this mode, watch your player count skyrocket, or release another call of duty game mode and we will all come on here bitch and complain and no one will play it. I want you guys at illfonic to succeed you have given me not one but TWO games I’ve wanted my whole life! As much as I complain it’s from a place of love, and I appreciate what you guys have given us. But you NEED to take this advice and release what the fans are actively asking for. DBD is unbalanced as SHIT and a lot of people LOVE it so stop worrying about finding the EXACT balance for this mode. 2v6, 3v10, 3v12 whatever, just give us the mode. Please and thank you

You have more chance of getting shit out of a wooden rocking horse mate , maybe in 2022 they will add it when the numbers are even lower

So…here’s the thing with a multi pred mode.

Take your random FT player base and then drop them into a jungle vs any 3 prominent experienced players on this forum.

It’s gonna be a massacre.

They need to work a tricky, specific system to get the mode to work. You can’t have 3 coop preds vs however many FT because it’ll turn into Predator: Plasma Nuke the Camping Grounds.

If you take a 2v6 or even a 3 v12 game mode and make it actually 1v12v1+1 (however you wanna write it, bear with me) and make it competitive instead of cooperative, then you have a game mode. Make it so the preds have to Hunt the FT, if you tag a FT with heat vision, he’s yours, you can kill him. If you kill an unmarked FT, you’re bad blood and now open season to the other preds. If you kill another preds mark, same thing, you’re bad blood. Make it a real hunt and not a free-for-all battle royal.

Spit balling here, still some ways to exploit it but…you get what I’m saying right?

Ok… I read the first sentence and already I have an issue. Realize… you just said “if one team is really good and one team is really bad it will be one sided” DUH dude😂 yes and the other way around as well. But 3 good predators vs 3 good Ft members would be extremely close. You can’t balance and NOT GIVE CONTENT based on the fact lots of people are bad. MOST predator players are also ass as well as the ft ones

The problem is you read the first sentence and applied it wrong.
Most good players mop the floor with most fireteams in quick play.
There’s more potatoes than good players. Now you’re doubling odds…play randoms more and see how hard it is to find good teammates, then multiply the potatoes and you end up with French fries ya know?
I get you can’t balance the game around the bottom or top tiers bit at the same time they affect the average numbers and need to be accounted for.

Seriously reread what I wrote and think about it

There’s just as many bad predators. Like 0 percent you convince me otherwise I will play 20 games and play 1 ok predator. 20 more, and you’ll get a good one 😂

Okay…

Let’s try another approach then. How many games do you play with a buddy vs how many times do you solo?

Edit: Buddy = 2 or more

I play with a friend most times. Solo games a couple times now and then when I’m bored. But every single predator we play is always boosted and every single random we get is boosted. Like 96% of the player base is boosted

Okay, boosting isn’t a factor here.
My time is short right now so I’ll try to sum this up quick and simple.
You play with a friend most of the time and win the vast majority. You play pred and win the vast majority, that makes you good. Now take you and your friend with preds vs the vast majority, you’re gonna win the majority, that’s not balanced. Because 12 other people should be able to beat you and your 1 friend if you have an idiot with you.

Balancing that is tricky, unless you completely change the game (to…say…maybe…the hard-core hunt mode which doesn’t seem to be very popular).

Take the 2v6 matches you guys have had. Not a lot of people play them for 2 reasons, one it’s clash. Clash might as well be Fortnite to a lot of the players so nobody even want to fuck with it (besides you guys and God bless you for seeing the shine on that shitshow).
2…you’re playing by two kills and your out, so it’s basically 2v12 and I bet the preds are winning most times. Illfonic sees this and knows that’s imbalanced pred side, so unless they fix that…it’s worse than this game at launch, they can’t afford that.

So unless they’ve figured that balance issue out…or they’re redesigning a whole new mode based on not a lot of player feed back…I don’t like where this is going if you get my drift.

Imagine 2 Preds bunny hopping with bow spam, God that would give me nightmares.

That’s…actually a good if sad point. I’ve solo countered that move a lot because bunny hoppers get linear and have patterns. If I had a M&KB I’d be great at putting a stop to that BS. Few ways around that actually…but…it works great because most people can’t figure it out and the ones that do go down because they’re too busy following and not paying attention they might as well be piñatas. Start shooting before they land! Aaah

Another topic. Anyway…point is…I think the ground work is there somewhere between hard-core hunt and 2v6 clash but…as always with this game the fine tuning is the problem

Me winning more cause we are better… is balance lol

Think about what you are saying. You and your friend are good, so if you play bad players and win it’s not balanced. This thought process is how we get extremely underpowered predators

Also when I say boosted I just mean bad lol. Obviously not literally boosting there’s no rank in this game

Right but…again…you’re focusing on the wrong details…ugh…

Cool…know what…throw the baby out with the bathwater then and ignore everything I said

I’m reading everything you say. You’re point is the majority is bad so it won’t be fair for them. That’s still a bad thought process. Like objectively wrong. You’re idea of balance is how good FTs become overpowered as fuck. Cause most ft members are bad you’d have them buffed, meanwhile ft is already op. So good FT’s will literally never lose

Sorry man you’re just wrong on this one. I’m not ignoring your statement you are ignoring mine. How is 2 players who have bonkers hours and experience, on a team, playing 6 newbies and winning, a problem. That makes literally 0 sense. Cause also if you had 6 good ft members they would stomp the 2 Predators. That’s how being better at a game works

No…I’m saying the majority is the majority and that’s where we’re at balance wise now. Tip the scales and we’re never gonna a play hunt mode again because FT will be able to beat 2 preds at once

So you’re saying… if we had 2v6 it would train players to fight 2 preds… so then standard hunt would be… too easy?? Got ittttt 😂

2 good predator will beat 6 ok FT members. 6 good ft members will beat 2 ok predators. Where, is the issue in balance here
