Tournament idea

#61

You wanna know how bad it is? Create a private match just you as a pred and one bot only.

Jump into it and try to kill it just using wristblades as soon as he starts shooting you

You won’t be able to before he second winds you.

I mean, I get it, melee spammers are dumb, but damn if the basic melee weapon is not powerful enough to bring down one single FT dumb player that has good aim, then melee is pointless. Limiting ranged weapons to only the caster is nerfing pred to the ground. Doesn’t matter how much you try to nerf FT, if you limit ranged weapons for pred, FT can play with just knives and still win

An idea.

No AI
FT Health 75%
Predator Spotting No
FT Weapon Damage 150%
Hip Fire Spread 50% (lower numbers Increase accuracy
Real Magazines Yes
Friendly Fire Yes
Reinforcement Count 3
Reinforcement Activation Time 5sec
Reinforcement Mission Time 1sec
Objectives No
Predator Health 55%
Second Wind Recharge Time 15sec
Second Wind Health 70%
Predator Weapon Damage 130%

“Real Damage”
Stealth is a wiser choice

Custom setting N/A : modify the amount of energy stored in the caster
6 fully charged blasts and multiple smaller blasts will deplete the plasma completely.

So basically pred can can one/ two shot any FT bit can also get melted in a second. I think it may be tough to secure kills, but it would be interesting to see this play out (testing)

Friendly Fire IMO is the one thing that will bring FT into balance given how things are right now, specially during close encounters, but everybody hates it because we have all got used to spray bullets like crazy with disregard for it.

#65

Ive done this with medic and adrenal boost and it makes you basically unkillable

#66

Friendly fire can never be a thing in this game.
Not on public matches.
On Private matches, yeah, i would agree but only for grenades and rockets.

#67

I do not. One of the reasons why FT damage is so bad, aside from it being so high, is the fact that when pred is engaging one, they can just shoot away with disregard of how many bullets will hit the FT team mate. Forcing FT to actually aim correctly and not instantly start firing like crazy will allow Pred to not be melted so fast. Or, if Pred is melted, so is the FT teammate. Fair trade

In public matches, as much as I would love to, the amount of potatoes is just bizarre, so yeah, in pubs it would be annoying with potatoes

In pubs more than likely not however in privates it should especially for a tournament. Can’t really claim to be the best when you kill your own teammates. In pubs it would be abused almost immediately, I for one would just throw flashbangs at teammates for the fun of it.

Tried balancing second wind with reinforcements timer. But yeah second wind could destroy the game. Second wind-flee-heal-repeat.

Second Wind Recharge Time 0sec? would this this only allow 1 Second Wind chance?
Second Wind Health 30%

#70

I mean I do that already

I’d be headshotting potatoes as soon as I load just to make them rage quit and get bots instead when I get the reinforcement

#71

I would like a true hardcore mode

No reinforcement
No downed state
No second wind
Friendly Fire On

Straight to business. 1 life.

Sadly there’s no modifier for instant kill FT. Switching “allow bleed out” off for FT will simply grant them eternal life while downed

#74

You can just make an agreement not to pick up downs and thats it (for tourney)

#75

I’ve learned that even among friends, people are not trustworthy when it comes to play video games, LOL
