STOP POWER-GAMING

[Feweh]

Next Predator that I see wearing human gear, such as the extra carry slot mesh on the body OR carrying around multiple masks in their bags will be removed.

You know who you are, I know who you are.

Enough.

This counts for anything else that youre gaming for further advantages as a Predator.
Next one to take that alien masks in the caves to block further huggers will also be removed.

You are given specific gear for a reason and allowed to use various other items. However using human gear for the benefits only is extremely power-gamey.

[SecretStamos (Joshuu)]

I agree with this. It's getting very out of hand seeing Predators exploiting human gear for every single marginal advantage they can get.

Part of being on the whitelist is about fighting with honor. It isn't really about winning and killing. We expect better than this.

[Boltersam]

I'll put in that I agree. Use human gear to a very minimal amount, and only to downgrade so duels are fairer.

May I ask:

I was under the impression that the green alien mask found on the planet had extremely negligible effects for predators, is that not the case? Considering the bio-mask blocks huggers well into the double digits.

The same question for things like helmets over the top of masks. I imagine any benefit is virtually non-existent, but I figure I may as well ask to be sure.

The problem with having it on top of the mask, means when your regular mask is knocked off, you're still protected from huggers, the Alien Mask in the caves has more protection from huggers than helmets.

What does this mean for returning to the ship for a new mask? Seems like it would almost be suicide to not go gather another mask before continuing the hunt.

My understanding is that if you lose your mask, tough luck. Pull your socks up and get it back or die trying.

[Monoo]

Yeah, I've never seen the need to grab human gear. Not even getting started on powergaming, it breaks the super important unspoken RP laws.

[Shyguychizzy]

I mean, I was told I was able to recover a mask. There is a exploit which or bug, where if mask gets knocked off the sprite it self can disappeared, has happened before. I believe once you wear the alien mask then take it off or rarely occurrence. For instance, I one time fought a runner, and lost my mask due to it slashing but the mask was completely gone, at the time I was confused then told to gather another mask after asking a head I believe was forward. Though, I searched the areas multiple times, I didn't see none I mean if you can get your mask would it be power gamey?

I reckon this is probably the only exception to the rule.

If your mask gets knocked off, that's on you. Try your damndest to recover it. It's yautja tech, it's your honour, and all that good stuff. However if it happens to turn invisible due to a bug... Well that's kind of shit-outta-luck, and I don't reckon anyone would really mind you grabbing a second (after all, bugs can't be predicted).

[Biolock]

Those masks do dissappear every once in a while. I use to take off my mask duriny certain duels, and that often times does happen. It's just the spirit though, you can still pick up the mask, it's just invisible.

[Feweh]

Carrying around an extra mask in your bag to replace your mask that gets knocked off during a fight... is not fucking kosher or cool.

What feweh said; You're not meant to carry 2 masks as you're just hoarding tech and risking to throw it away. The casualty rate amongst preds is like 99%; You're not expected to come back and if you do, you're expect to have done PERFECT in your way of hunting.
