Wtf defusing

#21

Pre-patch I’ve done it in 2 seconds. Right now… it’s more between 4 seconds and death. You can screw up once right now and if you aren’t disarming within the first 5 seconds of arming? You are basically going to die. If I lose to teams cheezing me? I generally go somewhere nasty and hard to reach and blow myself up there.

But… I’ve had luck as well sub-3 if all the symbols were literally the next one in the cycle. I love the fact that there is some “random” element to it. Making the chance to win systematically less likely. We have predators exploding (still) with guy’s playing 100-500+ hours already.

I’m terrible @ defusing, only succeeded once. I don’t like the fact @IllFonic added more glyphs.

They should’ve simply made it so only one FT can defuse, rather than everyone standing near the Predator.

Now defusing is too hard but still has the same problem of more than a single FT member can defuse.

I also don’t like the UX design for it, my eye are constantly focusing on the wrong part. The positions should be flipped placing the 4 glyphs alongside each other above the needed glyph for each section.

Lmao I swear 1 or 2 of those times it was like 3 secs.
I dont do it enough to be faster, but if I can get it down like I have hacking down in warframe, I think I could do it on average 3-4 secs.

It’s not too hard lol. But I think its fair atm.

#24

I’ve had people defuse it in less than 5 seconds. It’s pretty silly.
The only time I’ve died and gotten a successful self-destruct was when they shot me on top of a building so they couldn’t get to me.

#25

Yeah I lost any hope of this being a realish predator game long ago. It’s a joke

#26

Stop crying over losing if you were actually good you wouldn’t have died

#27

Yeah nah, you’re only thinking about an ideal situation in which you’ve got the pred in open space and are close to the body. If you have to leg it a few metres, pop the mask and the body falls or moves it kills defuse time dramatically. PS. It’s bloody hard to do it on a playstation d pad. That thing is irresponsive as hell!

#28

If you were able to speed through some of the ridiculous alarm puzzles on Warframe you can easily do it here.

since the new patch update for the defusing, ill give you all a tip:
Typically you use to tap, view, tap again. This time you must Tap, Tap, view, Tap Tap, view.
Basically what I’m saying is to double the intervals of recognition of the symbol. If you recognize any of the two symbols you tapped through;be it the one you’re currently on and the one before, then you can either tap twice again or hit the commit button. Rinse and repeat.
Otherwise sometimes, I actually found the correct symbol in one tap by flukes. Thats why some people might get it in a few seconds. Which i did once.

The self-destruct is a complete joke, it offers no upside whatsoever. I had instances where is got shot by right after i activated it and it outright cancels it (it must be a bug). All in all, its too easy to counter the self-destruct, be it by crawling out of the blast zone or completing a toddler level puzzle. Personally i don’t bother with activating it anymore, until Illfonic actually makes it a viable, working, option. Ask yourselves, when is the last time a predator killed all four FT with self-destruct?

#31

You don’t know do you. Whats the point of even commenting if you’re hazing the self-destruct. Its difficult. Calling it a childrens puzzle? a puzzle is a puzzle. You got some nerve. go play something else.

#32

LOL… Says the guy who exploits poor game mechanics. You can go die elsewhere now!

#33

I think it’s fine where it is now there’s less room for error and yes sometimes the glyphs are close so it’s faster but you have a lot less time then before where you could wait 10seconds and still defuse it.
I do think that if you defuse it the Predator shouldn’t have to wait around that all needs to be fixed.
