The problem

#1

The idea for this was sound much like it was for FT13 but unlike friday you made some very crucial mistakes. You must have known that everyone was going to want to be the predator right? Why was it not just a game of chance as to who was who? This makes absolutely no sense from a technical standpoint or a gamers perspective, in reality all it did was create a divide in your player base between those who just play predator and those who just fire team.

The way you structured some of the combat compared to 13th seems you went towards a more arcade type hack slash for some reason, example would be the predators melee attacks. Did you not envision this being spammed/abused? Or were you going for a user friendly approach?

Several things on both sides needed work before this patch or before the game was released (even more now). I’m all for hearing the predators throat noise perhaps when he right behind me but not when he is on a tree across the way, but like I said many things could be reworked. If I were them I would do what Anthem is trying but take it a step more, I would yank this game from service and work on it until it’s actually the product the people deserve and possibly the product illfonic themselves wanted to release, then when it’s ready release it for free for those who already bought it

MAKING IT RANDOM IS NOT THE SOLUTION. I dont care about other games that made the monster be random. This game was marketed to play as pred. So if they made it random it would just fuck over the ppl who bought this to play as pred.

Second. What’s being abused with the melee? Did you want some God awful slow ass attacks? Cause that would be stupid and lame.

Just how dead by day light is. Boring as shit.
Things need to be fixed yes. But making the pred random ain’t a solution.

You want a solution? Make the humans fun and cool to play, without making them too strong.
Because if they do that, and people actually enjoy being human, then way more ppl will play human, me included.

But as it, ft is generic and boring as hell.

They need to give less rewards (xp, cash) for playing as the predator. That way there is incentive to play as the fireteam.

#4

That would only work for a very few amount of ppl. I know quite a few ppl me included dont care about xp or anything.

#5

But if you want higher predator gear you have to pay as fire team at some point to unlock it.

#6

less rewards? what the hell you even saying? less rewards for people playing a mode they want to play? fireteam is literally the same old missions over and over on 3 maps. so you want to remove the incentive from the predator and only make it so the fireteam has incentive. yeah thats a no and just plain stupid

#7

I didn’t say making predator random would solve everything but it would help. It would also let people see things from both perspectives on a regular basis lets face it your average person is not going to wait 15-20 minutes on the regular just to be predator.

Im lvl 100. i already get hardly any reward for playing pred. unless my victims got some purple bars i can pick up when i kill them. but thats it.

#9

I dont see a problem with the pred his melee atm.

I do see a problem with the FT. It’s nice to play with friends but not solo with randoms.
Make the characters more appealing. Better and longer missions and higher rewards for fully completing the missions by example.

it’s a lack of content aswell in this game. especially for 40 F euro.

#10

Less rewards for playing as Pred? Its already crazy hard to get veritanium as Predator and you want to make it harder?

You have any idea how many people were on the F13 forum complaining that they never got to be Jason, and how they wanted the lobby system from Dead By Daylight?

The fact that they allow for choice means they listened to the players.

Yea and if they implemented a random system in this it would be just like F13 was where people would join a game and see they’re predator when they want to play FT or vice versa and just quit out, ruining the match for the other players

I played 13th from the start and was very active on the forums as well don’t recall many complaints about people not being jason, as you could also q as jason as well. The biggest complaints I remember were people believing the Sav jason was somehow better.

#14

I play Predator and Fireteam

Am I god?

#15

No you couldn’t que as Jason you could only set your preference to Jason then prey to the RNG gods that you got it. Some nights you might get it 4 times others not at all. Go to the F13 forums and do a search for “not picked as Jason” and see what you find.

#16

No, not god.

Second coming of Christ?

Maybe

#17

You mean second coming of an Engineer?

#18

If I couldn’t choose which team I was on I wouldn’t play the game at all. I prefer Pred now because I spent 50 levels playing as FT and found it not my cup of tea. But I also have people on my friends list who would strongly prefer not to play as Pred because it feels like a lot of pressure to perform for them. Random selection wouldn’t make the game better, I think it would hurt the player base too much.
