Why do they keep buffing them?

Its one of the moderators. I am sure you’ve seen him.

well that explains. lower level tier are something else. your weapons barely do any damage to the pred.

Thing is, I havent really played with any of the tournament ppl, and never ran into them either lol.

Thats my luck tho. I rarely run into the same ppl.
I see a lot of different ppl tho.

I honestly think it’s more just about knowing what to expect.
I really feel knowledge in this game increases your odds more than it usually does in other games.

Kinda makes me wanna try out some starter gear and see how it goes.

Well here is a video of him if you want to watch:

Hm. Would be nice to see it from his point of view lol.

Here you go:

Ah that guy. Cant say I’m a fan.

I am strictly referring to his skill.

1 kill. Let me guess he got one person downed and spent the rest of the game healing because you can’t be engaged on bc if he kills a 2nd person he puts himself at a disadvantage as FT will reinforce with full gear and undo 5 minutes of the preds work. gg very fun no kills on either side just both poking eachother at max range so they dont die and thats without half of your team being able to hit pred longer than half of a second

Because thats what the game is right now both teams undoing eachothers work until either FT gets to the chopper depending on mission RNG, or hides under the bridge at overgrowth or under the houses at backwater for 10 mins. Derailed warehouse snipers that dont even bother with the missions are excluded ofc.

As for @Fire saying FT didnt know how to play at launch, yes thats 100% the reason zerk was nerfed into the ground and half the combistick swings do tickle damage now so everyone just throws it instead. Because no one knew how to parry at launch except people who messed around with knives in the beta, and this was back when you could 1:1 CHAIN PARRY combistick until the pred died.

We’re going in the direction of more and more healing + buffing perks that are already best in slot because they can’t just give 200 damage score potatoes an aim assist toggle in this janky ass shooter.

I’ve actually said how that game went down in response to someone else. Yes, its a lot of pocking at max range but there also a lot of close combat just as well (and we had) when he noticed an opening he went in melee(that is how I died).
If the predator kills 2 people he is not at a disadvantage. Its damn hard to reinforce in 2 if the predator is good (and he was). There was not even a problem with them restocking the gear (so to say its a advantage if one more died) since I was support and when I got back, I had my med kits and ammo bag. Any premade team does not even needs to do that and also risk a loss by killing someone. A support + other using med kits instead of STIM and having another assault in the team with ammo kits its all the shit you could ever want inside a game and not need to kill yourself.

I can count on the fingers on 1 hand the times I’ve had people hiding under bridges or houses and when they did, I’ve told them to get out and they did. I am not doing that even IF we die to the predator. Its fucking boring. Same with people on Derailed on top of the buildings. People do that when you face randoms because that is all they can do to stay alive against any decent predator. When I go with other people on top of buildings, its when I have an objective there and it makes sense.

Haha, what? The combistick is picked because its very powerful as a ranged weapon, the melee aspect is just a bonus. People where using it wrong at the start. Going all in on berserker with combistick trying to floor the entire team (no skill needed). If you want melee, you get the elder sword as it is extremely powerful.

Always a pleasure playing with you and company bro

YES predator risks a loss by killing someone as they come back with syringes. Reinforcements is a fuckton of micromanagement on the pred end.

Factors to consider here: Did predator manage to kill the carry first?
Are the players remaining any fucking good and capable of killing the pred player? Because it only takes two to second wind (coordinate parries, cut nets) provided you know what you’re doing.
Do they have syringes left?
Do the players they’re reinforcing have medkits? Because you’ve given the FT overall more healing by killing that person and then some.
If the FT is coordinated and 2 at the objective start killing themselves for the reinforce can you get to the person running to the radio in time?

FT in vast majority of cases isnt going to run to the reinforce to bring back 1 person because that requires some level of communication that usually doesn’t exist in pubs. Good teams will kill themselves to get gear back which is also an issue. Fights vs premades HAVE to be full wipes the first time around because of it as pred is at a disadvantage by only killing one person. In pubs reinforce happens once two are dead at which point its a gamble if the living 2 know what theyre doing & how much hp pred has left.

And combistick wasnt being used “wrong” anymore than warclub, sickle, or katana is being used wrong. It’s a melee weapon. Granted melee weapons shouldn’t exist because combos are utter trash & the only one that kills before you get parried to shit is the elder sword.

the problem with this game is allowing people to be main of something … this undermines the community by dividing it … now I am starting to hear voices about penalizing dropouts and I agree. is more the choice of roles should be the lobby, to choose role by random order, not being able to repeat classes. that way the nonsense of the main would end … I have a game that I cannot play as much as I would like because there are very selfish people who only care about their own. this would force them to see all points of view. and it would notably reduce waiting times. Some will say: I don’t like being forced to play something I don’t want to. then you don’t play … the game has two roles … because you’re selfish, it doesn’t have to hurt the majority of players. They don’t have time to spend 2 hours for 4 games (most of us are not rat children with nothing else to do than wait in front of a monitor). the games are made to reach a large audience. and so it won’t happen

It didnt take any skill to swap to knife and heavy attack the zerk into oblivion either. No one knew the knives did as much damage as a fucking shotgun without the reload.

Oh jesus christ.
Forcing ppl to play either faction is not the solution.

This will just make people quit and leave the game.

I do believe people should play both sides.
But not be forced to.

This wont help anything.

What I’ve hear from other top tier predators (like Yuppers) is that the hard part is taking 1 down when they’re dealing with a 4 man premade. After that everything goes down for the team.

That game was not a 4 man premade man, we where all randoms. I’ve already said a few things about 4 man death squads in this topic.

No, was being used wrong since the combistick has 2 sides to it, ranged and melee. You can’t have the melee sides as powerful as the elder sword (let’s say). The thing got nerfed since so many predators just leaped in and smashed that one button killing the entire team since the vast majority of people are randoms and good chunk of those people are casuals. They where not using it also as a ranged weapon to soften targets or get burst in. That is why I said it was used wrong.
Warclub is shit, why even bring it up? Its like the grenade launcher and even the minigun for FT.

Sorry, parry takes quite some skill to perform.

Hunt is a solo pred mode. Of course it is going to favour FT.

Now if they add another or maybe 2 preds, we are gonna hear nonstop complaining FT ppl saying its unfair, but if they work together they should be able to beat them.

Just like a single pred against 4 FT.

This was necessary to make predators try and be better.

That way if they get a few more homies to hunt with, it for sure would be more of a battle.

It is a widely accepted and used dynamic in the world of games, especially in role-playing games. It’s not crazy or anything new. The capricious egoists would leave, leaving room for players who know how to behave in a community in which we all have to live together for certain, lol, smite, ect … no players have lost because of that. are the rules of the game so that everyone can enjoy all the roles
