You're falling down the rabbit hole illfonic

Stop catering to the lowest skill (Albeit loudest) level predators with your patches or you’re just going to run this game into the ground like you did with Friday the 13th.

This is only the third patch we’ve received. Don’t worry, it’s going to improve. Just like F13 did. If not more so.

It’s their only current project, they’re not going to just send it to die. Whatever the potential changes may be they have to agree with them as well.

Are we to take from your statement here that you are among a god tier like player and illfonic should only listen to your feedback? So far 1.06 patch hasn’t even been out a week give it a chance. why are you so salty? get a life please no game is perfect and don’t play it if you dont like it.

Current patch Is amazing, balancing wise, queue times seem correct. The patch is honestly really good. Predator has more of a chance to win and FT can still take Pred down If working together. Played multiple matches and even won my last one without Biomask. Don’t shit on a game that has great potential.

So completely coming from a stance of wanting to know what your experience has been I’m not trying to like antagonize or anything clearly you have been having lots of success with either end you have played, I’m just wondering what your stance on the knife and parry system actually is at the moment?

What are you talking about? I think they have actually introduced a reasonable patch. Not saying its perfect but they have done quite well considering the game has only been out about a week or so.

To answer your reasonable question I mostly play Fireteam and occasionally predator. I hit 100 probably day 3 of the game and have been at it ever since (Just so you get an idea of playtime). The parry mechanic wasn’t terrible honestly. The fact you could spam melee and initiate it, ya I could see that as an issue as it takes away the timing factor but Melee damage was the major issue. FT members could parry and get into a melee or two before the next swing of a pred. Another issue too is these preds watching streamers or youtubers or hearing that the combi stick is “ze best” so they use it when in fact the combi stick is probably the easiest weapon to parry.

I could see from the changes that they are slowly catering to the predators lower end skill of players, and it is something I fear they will continue doing as the people who play predator “mains” are typically the loudest even after they get buffs. The nature of folks these days too is to complain and complain until the game caters to their level of skill because, unlike the good old gaming days, they don’t want to actually get better and still want to win. The changes made to FT were decent enough, parry is still viable and the FT’s have to adapt more so to each patch then the predators will but they are getting close to the line of pushing FT’s into the red zone if they keep it up. I have seen good preds, I have seen bad ones. Good preds know how to play the game, bad ones are rushing in expecting to win and getting shit on by somewhat organized fireteams. Probably worth mentioning too I play FT with at least 2-3 other people in discord so I am not typically solo dropping into a game so I guess we would be considered a “good” fire team by community standards.

The loudest?.. i would love to do a count of “Plama caster it too OP”, “Combistick is OP”, “Predator is OP”, “Berserker is OP”, “Patch 1.06 is BS” FT threads and compare that to threads about how OP the FT is, just to see what side is really made up bawl babies… 😂🤣😂

I hate the changes and i play pred main they didnt address the real problem with pred gameplay.
Catered to the no skills ,horrible this game is sinking faster then i even predicted cant remember the last time something came out this bad

I can say the community I am in (The unofficial discord) there is little chatter from the Fireteam side of things. To be honest this forum is pretty toxic as far as people venting with little to no thought behind their complaints or suggestions.

Just gonna slide this in here

PATCH IS GOOD! im seeing i think an influx of new players if im honest. a lot of the fireteams im playing recently are not on comms, not working together… 1 gets netted and the others are running the other way. some are busy fighting ai and ignoreing their team mates. they run off alone etc…

when i play fireteam with a good squad we send the pred running, he may get 1 or 2 but we usually finish the mission. the odd predator is way better than others but thats fine and we lose. thats just skill. I still cant parry for shit. i suck at timing it lol. when i learn that ill be a lot better.

Overall the ballance is good, but its hard to see that because of the varied skill levels and i feel a lot of new players joining

But Berserkers really is OP, lol
Meanwhile illfonic nerf Plasma (main weapon Scouts, Not counting the bow)
Where is logic

The PC was nerfed to combat the PC spam that was and is still occurring. Zerker is far from OP I actually like it when someone is zerker cause 9 times out of 10 it means they are going to dumb rush the FT and die.

Gonna slide this in here too

Overall I like the patch as FT and predator. Had some very exciting matches. Didn’t enjoy FT before this patch but it’s been tense and razor thin. Just return gernade launcher and PC to where they were and that’d be great. Maybe deal with spotting

Predator SHOULD be OP.

My thoughts at the moment are the parry is too strong only because of the 1v1 potential. My fireteam kills the predator working together, 90 percent of the time. Team work should be rewarded and is, but I find it lame that if you mess around and get caught alone the knife can save your life (and possibly take the predators) for daring to fight you in one on one melee combat. But it’s anecdotal and we all have had different experiences with this
