TRASH TALKING

#84

Are you referring to the other topic (about recon tracker etc)?

I mean that using recon tracker is completely legitimate when playing vs Preds that use every kind of trick to have some kind of advantage, from animation canceling ( with or without macro, we will never know, we can just believe the word or not believe it) to the most broken mouse button that instantly changes dpi setting when using disc (because you need low dpi to move, aim bow or pistol and high dpi for disc control).

I mean if these are the terms, then tracker is legitimate in my opinion.

similarly, I think that is totally legitimate to ask a team to not use tracker in privates, if other limitations are involved.

give an example of animation cancellation

equivalent things, a mark for 9 seconds that does not allow you to attack, 9 seconds of fucking carl 9, and skipping the animation of the rack after the spear is absolutely equivalent, it seems to me it’s just an excuse to use the perk for the duration of the mark, play as you want, it’s not my business, but for me it’s a shame

what about hi dpi disc

#89

Disk itself is pretty OP, so much that even some of the best players on this game have stopped using it on privates once they got good with it.

That being said, while without a doubt high DPI helps, it is really not needed. I’ve seen players on console (PS5) such as Sturmi, control that disk with very high precision.

On the animation cancel thing, while I think it shouldn’t be possible, I’ve never seen any of the players accused of using such exploits, do it at the speed I did it on my test video. I’ve been downed from full health by a single combi throw, but that is a known bug.

I still think anti-cloaking grenades and pdl are more effective than tracker against disk users. The 9 second spot problem is that it eliminates a game mechanic, leaping. You are basically unable to leap, even if you are at a distance far away enough to be fully invisible, because you are spotted and a good sniper will hit you 9 times out of 10 if you leap. It’s bad, stop relying on it.

you said everything correctly, I join your words, I repeat, in a single game, it’s okay to use such things, like the duration of the label, but when you’re already playing with someone in a group, it causes laughter

I’ve seen it in some old footage…

It would be a waste, but would long jump provide a temporary offset for the snipers? Also from some of the sniping I’ve seen, they tend to take shots when preds is on the descent trajectory. This would take planning, but perhaps jumps can be tailored so that descent happens at place of cover. These things are not really solutions, i realize, but they could lessen the damage temporarily .

#93

Long jump will make it easier for them, as you are longer in the air. If they have (on top of recon+tracker perk) spotter specialization, you fucking leap in slowmo

I’m talking in game whenever I play against any of them.

Never had I been plasma+combi, bow+combi, plasma+bombi at the same time or even remotely close

#95

it’s not only about precision… only with hi dpi setting you can kill downed FT with lighting fast turns on the downed body.
I don’t think you can achieve that speed with ps5

that’s basically the only tactic, but pred movement is so clunky that when you are trying to leap under cover, you eventually hit something and do some vertical leap shit or end up elsewhere… is a pain. You are better off not leaping and take your chances against a scout/dante/dutch87 chaser

Lol. Good point.

Need a perk for super fast jumps then.

#98

I’m in a job meeting now, but look for sturmi’s channel on YT. I’ve seen videos of him hitting downed FT’s 3 times in the ground in a single throw

Yes you can do it even on ps5 but not at that ultra speed. Which makes the difference

The new pistol is very fun. Shame we didn’t actually get the cooler variant Wolf actually fucking used.

I’ve seen it before… imho even though it’s still super fast on ps5 , between 2nd and 3rd disc passage if you have a full team the disc user will be spotted and/or hit with a grenade…
while with hi dpi pc disc the downed FT wil be insta-killed…

tldr: on pc it’s harder to counter

Even with the tourney rules, these guys on console almost won against Orbiter (arguably the best PC disk user). And they have won a few times as well later on.

Stop the cry dude. The spotter perk is as broken as Dante’s health. Excusing it because of a single (arguably the hardest weapon to use) from pred, when Pred health pool is absurdly low, and you have to stand still when using it, c’mon…

You guys use the most broken meta loadouts, never lose a match and then wonder why you never get a “good” pred to play against
