What if part 4

So we know of the new modes coming out now and most if not all of us are excited for the new possibilities that these new modes will bring.

I have some serious concerns right now tho and its not bugs and glitches because those happen and will hopefully be fixed in a quick and timely manner. My concerns lie with the way some of the players play on both sides.

I will try to stay non bias and overall express my thoughts in a way to not show favor.

Lets start off with ft. There are a few different players that play similar and vastly different.

The biggest issue player is the vt hunter. These players are the major reason most pub matches end with a Pred win. These players are more concerned about picking up every little scrap of vt they can find and they are usually the ones picked off 1st. These players like to leave the team behind and vt hunt. Not keeping an eye on mud and end up getting claimed and rage quit afterwards. So with more ft players on the field means more vt hunters which in turn means more deaths un needed in the new mode.

The 2nd issue player, are the Rambo players these are self explanatory and will also rage quit after they die. Upside more ft players means more rambo players so hopefully less rage quitters since they will have back up.

3rd is noobs, self explanatory, at least they dont rage quit after being claimed so thats a plus. So use noobs as plasma shields lol.

The last player are the exploit users the ones that find the cheese spots and use them to every match and basically leave the team to fend for themselves while they cheese a non death game.

Now while I have no problem with these players they will however be a problem in the new mode so lets watch out for them and try not to be them. Thats ft now lets talk about pred players

Predator players are less likely to use exploits and cant vt hunt so they wont be a worry as much.However there are a few pred players which will lead to a Lose if they die early on.

The melee rusher. While in hunt mode maybe you will sometimes with this playstyle, it will not work in the larger game mode so these players will need to be avoided since they will most likely put the preds at a disadvantage early on.

The noob pred. Self explanatory will have to be babysat and will most likely be a melee rusher.

The Rage quitter pred. Now while playing hunt lately and with the blue screens and game crashes I don’t lump anyone into this category because we just don’t know. But back before the game crashes and freezes and blue screens. These preds are the ones who lose there mask or get 2nd wind early on and just quit the match because they are salty. This will cause a lot of trouble early on with the new mode. I feel like a penalty system will need to be put into place for the new mode to punish rage quitting preds.

These are my major concerns atm with the new modes coming out that have multiple preds and ft facing off.

On your point about VT hunting…I’d challenge the designers to make an alternative but not scrap the coloured block finding altogether because some of that is fun. I posted something about allowing us to hunt a Predator, kill it, then trade in the armour for V. Classes will be valuated differently.

It wont even have to happen in the AAR, as it could be maybe part of ones stats or in the collectable menu. It sounds very similiar to Injustice’s conversion system for duplicate armour peices for their currency.

But then again it might provide too much V for anyone to spend.

I can agree with this. I would go the route on how well maintained the pred body is. So perfect is 1500vt, moderate is 1000vt the yellow one isk what that is 750 and heavily is 500. Basically give the pred the same thing 1 claim is 200 and all the way up to 7 so the pred gets 1400 if he gets 7 claims.

I very much like to expand the currency system and allow the collecting of armour, weapons and masks. Anything that add layers to our experience and encourages a health amount of grinding.

I might have missed that thread tag me in it, if you want me to give it a read.

I think i posted it passively in response to another thread.
But yeah, a system like that is likely to open a can of worms thats impossible to evalutate but it just serves as a high concept.

Because currently, the only bonus for scoring a predator body is extra XP.
And most ppl don’t really need it. I guess the neon colored text is reward enough!

New game mode is supposed to be a 15 player game mode. So we all are at agreement that its going to be either going to be 3 teams of 4 vs 3 preds or 2 teams of 6 vs three preds. Could be 1 ft of 12 v 3 preds but I dont see that

Thank you but those are no longer the predator spirit suddenly?

The new maps will be for the old fashion and vice versa?
