Tournament idea

#41

That’s how tournaments usually go though.

#42

Fair enough. I would like good FT players/teams to say what would make a specific pred class challenging for them. What it would take

#43

I’m thinking like an actual tournament tho, where you only get one chance. Add more pressure.
But I could settle for 2 outa 3.

Pred player has to change classes as well as the ft side just to add chaos.

The disk I’m sure if the pred can pull it off, like of their disk flying osnt choppy cause game performance issues.

Aside from that nothing is too hard to counter. Ft is extremely easy.

Ageed. It just would be nice to have each class viable to play and a little different in some respects.

That’s something I and a lot of other people have asked for, but you know illfonic.

Unique gear, abilities and such that are useful and different on ft and pred would be great.

Like come up with a main playstyle for each class and a secondary option just to keep FT on their toes. I realized that options are very limited, but still we can brainstorm. Like scout can be long range + stealth. Hunter - long range with mix of stealth/melee. Zerker - range and heavier in melee.

Very hard to pull off without giving pred good things if we allow repeated class use, but I really like this idea.

Maybe the cloak perk and dithered lens can be allowed.

Here’s another idea.

Predator:
Fearless can’t be stacked with any spec that gives melee damage (Wrathful, Ghost, Brute, Tactician, Assassin)
Downrange can’t be stacked with Fervent, Stalker, Analytic and Tactician.
Exception for low based HP Preds (Scout, Falconer and Exile)
Axe banned for all classes.
Points are XP (kills are multiplier)

Fireteam:
Yautja Bane can’t be stacked with any Class that has passive damage perks (Assault, Dutch 87, Scout, Isabelle) any specializations that gives bonus damage (Reckless, Deadly, Unleashed, Duelist, Scavenger, Overwatch) or any of the following weapons (Hammerhead, Mercenary, SAWZ-50, 1011-12, B3AS-T and D34-D).
Thick skin only for low based HP classes (Scout, Recon,.OWLF Operative and Isabelle).
Double Time banned for Scout, Dante and Recon.
Fanatic and Leader banned.
PDL banned.
Tracker perk banned for Recon class.
Heavy Hitter banned for Dutch 87 and Isabelle.
Only 1 Field Medic per team and without Dexterous perk.
Only 1 Sniper rifle per team.
Points are sum of all XP of the FT alive (multiplier 1.5 if bomb disarmed and 2.0 if Extraction).

You’re more than welcome to join if we get a group for this even if it’s not a tournament

#53

Any ft class without any damage buff perks/specializations/passives will 2nd wind a zerker with 45 bullets of the QR-4

FT is broken, even with day 1 loadouts. All you need is for pred to get close and two people shooting at it. Don’t matter if they don’t use specializations, bane, sound suppressors, etc

#54

Sigh, god damn. Good to know the numbers, but not sure exactly how to deal with that.

#55

Well you know the old saying “when the going gets tough, give up.”

So in @JelouGamings tourney, even though things were somewhat balanced, top FTs were still running the show. I don’t know how it would be at mid/lower level tho. Perhaps let’s make pred OP with damage buffs and the FT just have to survive. Longest time and most damage can be determinants for FT success. Preds either same or kills or whatnot.

#57

No it wasn’t balanced, those rules favored the ft.

If you want to see more balanced matches see the rules of the private matches me and other play on.

Fair enough. I was just wondering if we change the dynamic. Make FT survive or die trying. Might not be fun for FT players tho

#59

It was as fair as I could make it. It just so happened that preds lost the first match. Some of them told me they did a few matches later using the same rules and they won.

Sam and Gesp team is hard because they only faced Dan, as one of the top Preds. And they have a lot of experience fighting him.

I think Dan, gesp and orbiter got surprised by the apples and that was all

But overall, is very hard to balance things out with people on so many different skill levels

Example, I can take on full pc teams of some well known players, yet I can’t even win against beer and sam in a 2v1. And even 1 of them with 3 potatoes is hard as hell and very difficult for me

Im not complying really. Just saw what i saw and made conclusion. I’m advocating for a stronger pred where it’s a hunt. No obj. Ft can try to hunt or see up perimeter. Best team will either kill peed or last longest.
