Back in my day that would’ve been a kill
having 2 spears helps sometimes
It’s kind of crazy how poorly they are able to balance new additions
Ayyyy red
went to extract and some loser was camping it and killed me
it's gotta work sometimes I guess
U gotta run em over and then call them a speedbump in voip
Lol
no frontiersman, i prestiged
seems like a winner
pretty good excuse
i did previously have a shovelspear#
assailant skill
ty
There is new hunters in progression?
indeed?
not with the update
😔
the question confuses me. there are hunter skins on the event BP?
or do you mean the level-uppable T1-3 hunters
There are no new rookies or tiered variants dropping, they will add more "later"
I think the latter
Have Crytec actually announced anything about it??
Probably later just none atm
Yup yup
Yeah thats what i meant
I cant fathom not liking the change to use any hunter you want at any time
i mean outside of the initial "we are aware and are working on a fix (and may have fixed it for some % of people) thing no
Theres people on the reddit that despise this change and idk why
Common statement tbf so i can kinda see how it could confuse someone
Because the old system let you get funny names
Lol
Woe is me
No more hairy cox
there were some pretty funny names to be fair
the names were life, not just funny
admittedly i regularly kinda forget the tiered hunter unlocks are a thing still. i unlocked one to t3
I had a 50 called "baby" i kept alive for an entire prestige
Hairy "Stinky" Cox was gold tbf but i'd rather just play whomever i want at any time as a legendary
I always wanted to get them to 50 so they could rest on my roster
Too many good men and women lost
Lol
Funny because i almost exclusively use the tiered unlockable skins
I wish I had saved some nickname hunters
game should keep a list of the names of your retired hunters
That era is gone
Jesse Buchanan rookie and Oliver Witman survivor are so sick
Almost at 160 
I mean i run the T2 of the one i have unlocked now and then. It's kinda funny how many T3s jus turn into shrubs
couple years it's fine
If we last
nature is healing
One day
I’m fine with their focus rn though
I like it
Shame we dont get more old hunters for that system, I really like it
like random third, almost two years later
Im actually mad they didnt lean into Jesse's union army aesthetic, imo the tier 2 and 3 versions are downgrades
ya tide of baby spiders does look great
Soon tm
Just waiting for ma boy death mask
Laura's tier 2 is excellent
I’m waiting for glide: chu ko nu enjoyer
Is that the bald one
Pls, did someone know, when server go down?
this is the one i have unlocked / use
theyll announce it
Most likely the same times as previously
even if you dont like it, you'll agree it's distinctive
it's just carrie-anne moss from the matrix without the pleather onesie
Haha yes. None since 2.2, Dennis promised some on the JotF dev stream and none for 2.5. So probably more like later TM
its not just another white shirt or hedge
Go into game and open the region selector. It usually shows when maintenance will start there
If she wore more than just that body vest i could've respected it more but the completely exposed arms and head are so silly to me
oh, yeah. its deeply silly
shes a badass who don't need no cover
*baldass
but, like... She's an evil surgeon
i mean her ass could be hairy we can't see it
shes not right
I also do not most fuck with tattoo designs in this game so that probably doesn't help
Good point
not tribal enough for ya? 😄
other than redneck who definitely has a trampstamp?
In a way yeah. I also don't like messy sleeves like she has.
it's a particular aesthetic I guess
I think the Fang Shearer has the best tattoos in the game because they're very intentionally placed among his hands and fingers and parts of arm (rest of it is covered by a shirt)
Its also 1 nice light brown color which contrasts nicely against his skin
There's no goofy ass dragon or some shit its just very simple
I'm also not a huuuuge fan of the "look at all the first page flash i got randomly placed all over me" thing, but i'm giving this one a pass. because reasons
Lol alright
I think Otis could be s tier as well if he didnt have those awful hand tattoos
I think he looks great otherwise
More military hunters crytek plz
That was half of the T3 hunters
His hand tattoos ain't so bad
Fang shearer is goated, hope he comes back (recolored) at one point
Found a bow+katana and out primitived them
Stole all their gear, they self revived gearless 😔
this game needs massive UI changes
fits my style though
it's a shame the game can't sample player audio after things like a solo reviving to no loadout
i'm sure they were super pumped about it
its getting some ui changes when the event drops
Update out when ? (German time)
no specific ETA yet.
wouldn't be surprised if they announce it in advance tho.
Splinter cell chaos theory let you talk over and listen to your opponents team audio while you had someone in a hold
they are somewhat running out of time to announce in advance 😛
Typically a moment before you snapped their neck
Then fingers crossed soon
yeah some games do it. newer CoDs have the enemy audio 2 seconds after kill thing iirc
You could get interrupted though
Their ally could kill you while you smack talked
also imho the UI changes will make the new UI look functionally so close to the old one. and most differences are because it's a step above the old UI.
it was mostly just bad-mic-quality F-bombs to be fair
Are you allergic to consumables. Or heals of any kind
Just doesn't feel right, I went out with just a spear and beartrap
That's how I came back
If you’re not taking weapons you gotta steal those of the first guy you kill if only to leave him destitute
You don’t even have to use the weapons
Just fuck over that guy
Oh, I loot
forced fist only run
and probably waddled off to extract
ur damn right I waddled to extract
do you not waddle everywhere
Nah, he got up while I was still there
He wasn't even burning
So I spared speared him again
oh. well. That's moderately less fun
He might of had a derringer
So I had to prioritise myself
true but if you had his loadout you probably still had the advantage
If I could have walked away 100% safely I would have
Just to force them to walk of shame
My bear traps are reserved for trios and duos
And vaults
it's not wasted time. it's quality time
have a little fire, roast a marshmallow
tell ghost stories and hope they don't interrupt it
and it
is because!
I don’t even play solos but if I kill a solo I just loot and walk away
Maybe an alert trap to make them think twice about coming back for me
getting dumpstered by a solo you already killed as a team is like, the highest tier shame you can feel.
particularly if they are running a supressed something, just.. htf wants to spend the rest of the lobby looking over your shoulder. schnope
If they’re running something stinky like Maynard silenced I will take a seat by the campfire because fuck you but otherwise I leave em be
idk solos are really uncommon
Maynard silenced is the ultimate coward's weapon.
prolly the number one weapon I do see on solos
Get a cav saber like a real hunter.
I don't see many calvery sabres
free real estate
Cav saber quad dinger go brrrrrr
ultimate makes it sound cool
Anyone know if US East servers are still having issues?
singleshot rifle, coward? nah
I run cav saber and spistol on thirteenth mate when I’m feeling piratey
when will the update be live?
Tomorrow
Single-shot, silenced, scoped rifle with long ammo MV, coward? Yes.
no exact time has been posted
solos are genuinely not uncommon in oce. i've been in lobbies with 5 solos
as a trio
so they have pushed it back again
24th was always the date, no?
yes
it was never pushed back in the first place
it was always 24th
i was a day ahead in my head
I hope the update's drop day goes better than last event
Kudos to the team working overnight to get it running though.
they did
fingers crossed slightly harder?
it doesn't bother me much admittedly, i can't manage a significant sesh until friday earliest anyway
i'm just genuinely glad i'm not on the server team when stuff like that happens
odds are likey everything will be fine
I don't have a lot of time mid week so it's all either or for me
I don't sweat it much anyway. It's like any other job. Sometimes you ace the fix first time around, other times shit goes sideways.
We're all just human in the end.
doesn't change the fact that knowing the important thing is down and it's your job to figure out why shit hit the fan isn't generally a fun feeling
I see more solos here than teams.
I, personally, do not enjoy it at all
I meant from the "consumer" PoV.
feels that way sometimes for sure
usually not so much during peak times while event has still got decent numbers
Not from theirs. Yeah. Having the dopamine deficient mob slavering at my back while trying to fix the game would be a definite Feelsbadman.jpeg moment.
but i do feel like it's rare to be in an oce trio lobby without at least one solo

Which says quite a lot considering oce lobbies are almost never full
ya on nae I rarely see solos and if they're not running a sniper and playing for picks and running the typically get nuked
Hey y’all is the spiders permanent?
Likely, but not confirmed, but very likely
I lub them
presumed only for this event at this stage but i don't think they generally want to spend the effort creating new stuff only to throw it away forever
I don’t like spiders
the jiggle when they trot around
They wouldn't put the effort into modeling, rigging, animating, balancing, designing and all that only to put it all away after a couple of months
But I wonder about the weapons also
ya they're really well animated
we don't know
we haven't used them yet
I have doubts about the weapons becoming normal unlocks, but I can see them staying as rarely found scarce weapons
we have theorised about the scarce weapons but we don't know. like the new AI, they don't generally add actually new stuff then never use it again.
Unless they do end up going the boring way and adding them as actual weapons with a higher price tag because of them being direct upgrades to the base variants
Ah
wouldn't be surprised if the future of this event content depends on player feedback.
I mean the shot gun looks like the nitro
i hope for an ever-growing pool of scarce weapons for continuing event use so that they retain some level of novelty
I doubt they'll make them directly purchasable. They would literally make the old models 100% irrelevant.
looking at the logic of both weapons they would both need nerfs to be that.
Looting weapons is cooler regardless with the new update thanks to the weapons spawning with random custom ammo
But adding a pool of scarce weapons would be pretty cool. Gives you something to look forward to extracting with.
agreed
Don't remember if it applies to soul survivor as well, but I assume so
If I really vibe with a weapon I'd rather it not be scarce. Because generally I walk into these games wanting to use a certain weapon in particular.
just like i enjoy the pledge point gambling machine, i like the idea of having a lot of potential outcomes from unlocking a scarce weapon event crate
you know what would also be super cool? looting old version of avto, dolch p, and chain pistol as scarce to remind people how non spammy hunt used to be
I hope they add some kind of bomb lance like scarce weapon. Something wacky and fun, goofy even? Still good though
it'll be fine don't worry about it
how do they make the bomb lance more goofy. put a slide-whistle on it?
the bomb lance is cool;
If it's a weapon that's slightly overtuned for the sake of scarcity, I don't see an issue with it. Makes extracting them more worthwhile and makes them feel more valuable walking in.
It doesn't have to be a variant. Just something with the same wackiness
However, imagine a bomb lance with an auto-loader.
i don't feel like goofy and cool are mutually exclusive i guess
Rip
I love the bileweavers
i am struggling to imagine what that contraption would even look like, but ok.
It’s cool to be goofy
I'm reserving verdict until I've both died to them and killed them
they don't look all that easy to die to unless you are extremely unlucky or a complete nincompoop
Double barrel bomb lance
We shall see
If its overtuned they price it high as fuck. I'd rather not be going into this like "I'd really like to use a Nitro for this play sesh. Shame there's a very low chance I'll ever see one."
just basing off the rachta preview event gameplay stuff
Oh there's gameplay
My bad
yeah they had a closed early access event he posted some footage from
They could finally do a weapon that uses rotjaw goo type stuff like people wanted for a while.
I thought it was purely trailers so far
Price is not a way to balance something
Like the worm gun from system shock
i mildly regret spoilering myself rather than just experiencing it blind but i got bored. rip.
Yeah, price doesn't work.
I can afford about 1120 avtomats
I'll save up money with a marathon to buy overpowered stuff
This is precisely why long ammo is so busted
anyway it all looks cool, but the little spooders do not look like a serious threat
unless you are a moran
and granted, i am guilty of that now and then
They aren't really meant to be a threat by themselves
They become more of an issue with players around
Every AI in the game.
i'm glad we're on the balls
Well. It's what they do.
Or if you go into the nest with no antidote/shadow, then they also suck to deal with
eh a lot of the normal AI is way more worrying. these guys aren't gonna chase you half way across a map like the immo
Alex Moran?
You are the rich we need to eat
I'm so angry and 30% gun sales
bornheim silencer incindiary will be neat
Ong. I'm hungry.
yes it looks ill-advised to just charge into the nest
Bring an ammo mule
Immo is only a threat by itself if you have no stamina imo
guys how can some people be sure that the entire lobby is wiped ? i see my teammates are sure about it and start going crazy after killing boss
lol. apparently correctly spelled moran is on the naughty words list? wild.
Count the bodies, a full lobby is 12 people
Oh damn, shadow will be kind of over powered if the spiders are any good
Heat maps suggest most deaths overlap
No, but if you kill 2 teams and like 20-30 minutes elapsed you can make a decent guess that everyone is dead because in that team the team you killed could've previously killed another team before engaging yours
whats a heat map
A statistical representation of data
after a certain point it is a reasonable assumption that anyone who wants to actually play the shooting game in the lobby has had their chance to do so.
The maynard sniper tier 3 bush man:
so like when we kill the only boss of the map and 30 minutes have passed its kind of certain that nopbody is around (ofc checking dark sight as well)
it doesn't mean this doesn't occassionally get you killed by the shrub-loving-ever-patient-supressed-maynard weenis that has been hiding near extract for 30 minutes.
1100 deaths and where
but that is the price of freedom sometimes. because playing like that person is in every shrub for every lobby gets incredibly boring and tiring.
We can longer make maps like this due to api hooks being removed
yeah i get it
Apparently due to EU privacy rules
I will never understand the appeal of this playstyle, you can't be more boring than this
and often they're a solo anyway and even if they get the jump on one of you while you're yeehaw-ing to extract you will probably still kill them
.. hopefully.
people are weird and often impossible to understand 
Sometimes I'm like, hunting 40 hives with melee damage for a weekly challenge, and once that's done I go hunting other players
So I'm sometimes unpredictable by accident
A dude once sniped me with the maynard so i decided to spectate him and see what his plan was now.
He was sitting outside the bounty with his team, 200 meters away give or take, scoped in staring at the building
An entire half hour
I must be lucky i don't recall seeing that challenge 
It's something like that
sounds intense. maybe he misjudged his dose
Macrodosing
He didn't move an inch and the team inside wasn't gonna bother because the second one of them poked their head out he got sniped
everything going to plan then I guess. Purgatory in the bayou. doesn't get better than that
"First person shooter, action"
Believe it or not, some people have fun that way. My dad is way out of his fast reaction gaming time so getting into close fights is almost always death, so he prefers sniping and moving in to loot when it's clear. There is no hunt rulebook, everyone can play the way they want, even if you hate it. I hate it too, but i let people do what they want. Unless those people get lucky and wipe my team, they're usually free kills.
intermittent action
this can't be real reason can it? no personally identifiable information would be being conveyed :/
Commas are important eat grandma
This is the official reason
Were they afk
i mean nobody can stop people playing how they want to just like noone can stop anyone moaning about a playstyle if they want. all things in balance.
Or having a little nap
My point is the sniper scope class isn't healthy for the game, the max scope imo should just be a deadeye but i can live with marksman
No, it's 100% fine.
You can play however you want just don't expect me to engage.
We bunkered in a bounty house today forced a trio to leave
Snipers are relatively easy to go up against unless you're out in the open waiting to get shot
my team does more "yeah, no thanks" and just leaving against stuff like that these days.
Without gunrunner they're usually not well equipped for closer fights
Kept downing them but couldn't clean them away
Thank you. I missed this completely
If i find out im playing against a sniper i take a stam shot, regen shot and leave 👍
it got a bit lost in the event related spam
Concertina bow arrows are one hell of a drug
Clearly
Best time to catch up on your tv shows
Nope, shuffling around occassionally
This isn't super conmon anymore, it was way worse when the maynard first dropped
Words to live by in this game lmao
i feel like i ran into that kind of sniper play a lot more before bullet drop. then it sort of came back to some extent when the maynard did.
when is the update
fr?
Me when i lie
I did entomb a duo in a bounty house during the fire event
probs best to move to fortnite this game sucks
Hunt showdown battle pass
24th with no specific time stated just yet for what it's worth
What if it was called Hunt Freakdown and your character twerked upon getting shot and moaned like the DS1 Hollow player
where can I see the changes for the spider update?
Tomorrows patch notes
I need to go back to winc silencer sniping
you can find a lot of info on youtube from various creators already as well
nah im just sayin stuff for the sake of it
this would be terrible but if it was a limited time mode i would play it while baked as a bun and probably enjoy the hell out of it.
You’d think they’d put something on their website or something
(especially with poison)
i don't think much ends up on the website that isn't pre-planned. They have their moments with communication but most of the real-time stuff is either here or sometimes on twitter
I’ll start paying more attention to discord then. I don’t use twitter
Is the event already out? I hear people talking about the scarce weapons.
Ok bad morning to you too
Tomorrow
I mean the dev stream was yesterday
24th is in 22 minutes :I
Yow does anyone know a full text list of Tarot cards power upcoming ?
someone pasted it here a while ago
but the usual hunt creators have full event breakdowns on youtube as well
which covers the cards and such
Yes I just try to find the text version of this breakdown so I can save it and watch it every time I have to pick a card in the nest with the spiders eating my ass
oh fair. well. i didn't save the text. sorry
i believe
each card will tell you what it does in game
but obviously that may not be useful when you're busy with ass eating
From a gameplay I saw it won’t it will be like choosing a trait in previous avent
no they're a thingy that goes in consumable slot
marked with a red feather in game, found in various places, not visible in darksight
yes indeed. i've watched the vid(s) and I know many of the things that are knowable
there won't be any power explanation i mean when choising them in game
the devil is basically crackshot
which obviously you can argue, is not the time when you need to know what they do necessarily
yes yes but i need to have the description before taking them haha
but if you go down you lose two bars and it goes away
Hi, how come the test server is down? 
because they made it non public after years of trying to get feedback and the community as a whole not useing it
The World: Reveals all boss targets
The moon: 2 seconds of darksight
The garden: full heals and removes all statuses on your whole team
The Fool: Copies the last card you used
The Tower: Kills all monsters and damages targets in radius, sets you on fire.
The Magician: places darksight decoy on location, makes you heavy bleed.
The Devil: reduces all sway and weapon spread, the next time you go down you lose 2 bars instead of 1.
The Sun: grants 60s of rapid HP Regen
Judgement: doubles all positive status effects, drops you to 1hp.
The Hanged Man: spectate the nearest enemy hunter, they are given a noise notification after.
The Empress: grants necro, catalyst and 1 random burn or scarce trait.
The Chariot: Swaps active exfils, 5m cool down, removes 1 bar.
OMG your the goat of my day man
if you inspect them in game it also gives you a description
that garden one could be pretty annoying sometimes I guess.
iirc it doesn't restore bars right?
oh i guess not. maybe not that bad then
Oooh devil sounds really cool imagine dualies. Does it work on shotguns?
Also do we know whether the cards are staying in any capacity after the event
not shotguns
Good
also goes away after you die
i think like the scarce weapons the assumption is they wouldn't put this much effort into something like the cards without intending to continue using the system in some form
Good
Exactly ye
and you lose two bars when you go down
The devil and the chariot are my favourites. Tower seems fun too
assume they will tweak what existing cards do, and probably add new ones / not include old ones sometimes and all that. maybe do a whole new set for new events. who knows.
Ye he said that 👍
seems in addition from what i've seen
Or she or they etc
the devil is intersting because it incentivises being super aggressive, but highly decentivises going down at all.
yeah devil downside is maybe a bit rough but if you run small bars, not that bad.. and getting bars back is easy enough during event times
Will it trigger instinct?
granted if you devil down in an actual fight it's gonna be harsh
Might just incentivise snipers cause of less sway tbf
But I'll 100% be running it with dual LeMat's
though i lose multiple bars to burn during fights a lot already so
i guess burn + devil might mean you're red skulled very quickly sometimes too..
what is instinct. I checked my brain and it just swiss cheesed at me
Orange borders in darksight when not using boost actively if enemy within 75m
75 meters orange hue on dark sight
ohh right. yeah no idea. unsure if the bit i saw on it tested that tbh
I'm honestly worried about the sun. Hp regen is already so terrible, 60s of rapid???
i mean regen will be strong situationally but isn't going to stop you dieing to a 2 tap situation or anything
Wonder if it'll stack with regen shot and vigor though
vigor i think yes? idk if it stacks with regen. in rachtas footage he uses vigor + it i think. it's fast
For just instant health regen
like, run around a corner nearly full health fast
That sounds awful and absolutely would mess with a lot of two taps to torso.
It's just 60 seconds of Marineer
it's only 60s I spose
I mean it depends how rapid
Plenty of time for a push
It's not a big deal lol
i mean, i am mentally guesstimating based on what i saw, but it looked like, with vigor, it might be around 10 seconds to go from 1hp to full. maybe slightly longer
What Im worried about is just it's going to make shotguns even more meta
maybe slightly less?
You can just 2 tap
it's only 60s and that person isn't shooting back during
And that's it
particularly if they are trying to use vigor obvs
it will probably be genuinely "wat" now and then though I guess
You are talking like if the other person becomes Immortal
nah. i mean within normal 2 tap time periods they still dead for sure
But in the end is just 1 minute of faster regen shot
what if they 60s regen and then use the judge or whatever it is that doubles positive status
120s! oh my
Would it not be fast enough that someone can just hide behind a corner for a few seconds with vigor and not be 1 shot anymore
Still not worth it
If they then use the fool, can they double double it to 240?
Rather use judgement to get 40 minutes of stamina and regen
Well doctor physician surefoot exists already
we're trying to conjure up extremely worrying meta breaking edge case scenarios here, don't be a wet blanket 🙉
Doesn't mean it should...
fair
Death to surefoot
Agree
IF I says the sky is falling, it's already on the floor in pieces.
And I'm trying to avoid extremely unnecessary scenarios 
sounds worryingly sensible
Honestly, with the scarce weapons theyve shown they're happy to use scarcity as balancing, I think even more strongly now that those game breaking traits should just be scarce. Surefoot, quartermaster...
how can i get mythic skins ?
See?! a minute IS a long time!
i dont see them anywhere
BP exclusive only
they decided to change the whole.. hunter skin tier stuff again hey. i've genuinely never paid any attention to it
Tho rarities will go next Patch.
No like I ever cared about it, I just use the better drip
Still upset they put death mask behind bb
i never understood the point aside from.. maybe trying to indicate which hunters were a limited time thing and which were not? or whatever
which i also don't care about. i just want chubby plague doctor but have made peace with never having him.
Does anyone have a conformation about the Mako Skin, that was shown in Rachtaz´s Video? Is it a new purchaseable skin? Its my favorite weapon, and i hope it gets a new skin finally.
if it's not a BP skin it's a BB Skin right
Yup
Great news, thanks for answering
Pretty sure at least
I mean i wouldnt know how else this skin would be aquired if its not bp or in the shop
all i knows is, it exists and it's in the new event
I think its also the same skinline, that was released with the last update on the Marathon
It is
it looks it. popular, so i would actually guess it's BB
So ye, judging by how the Marathon was in the Shop when Judgement dropped, i think we will see the same thing here
i mean what is on the BP is information that is out there but i'm tired and my remembery doesn't work all that well and i'm also lazy
it costs either love or money, if we can stretch love to mean, playing through the BP.
Ye Rachtaz showed everything, that was on the battlepass in his newest video. But man Mako getting a skin + buff 
buff = swap speed animation thing?
I hope the weird delay between shots finally gets adressed
Like not the delay you normally have on levering, but it sometimes like artificially is unresponsive somehow
Ye that, and i think they also mentioned that they reduced the recoil on it
ic ic. well. great news for the dozen or so mako lovers out there 😄
Ye its not a players favorite for sure xD
But i like obscure weapons and builds in different games. And i dont really enjoy playing Meta.
it's more meta than some, and less than others. i mean it's still long ammo.
but if a gun brings you joy, who can shame you for it really
the answer is everyone
but that doesn't matter.
I mean some players enjoy playing Mosin + Dolch every game. It gets kind of frustrating, since you get killed a lot by those weapons. But i mean, a lot of playing like playing the "best"
For me its really boring playing only like 1-2 weapons because they are the best
it's a hard game. choosing the strongest tools makes sense on a straight forward level
does the event start today or tomorrow
Of course. But if i were to to that, i would get bored really quickly, because the loadout is basically the same every game
for whatever reason this doesn't bore everyone. but I agree. I use a variety even if i have some mainstays
Ye i newer understood that. But i mean, i guess the core gameplay is just so great, that maybe it doesnt get as repetitive for them
I think people enjoy winning, not the mosin and dolch
i think you're onto something
im so hyped for the new event
It's not even mosin dolch anymore, id rather that than the pocket shotgun meta tbh
It just happens to be easier to win if you’re using mosin dolch
Or cyclone
Or crown
Although mosin dolch is still popular
long ammo dolch, cyclone, long ammo pocket shotty
i'm not sure i've ever actually used a mosin and a dolch at the same time
those are really all the popular weapons rn
Ye, true. But there are always multible ways of winning, even if its not the most "optimal" choice. I like those wins even more, because you have to give like 110% with some guns
i've used both at the same time after killing someone who had both
Bow seems kinda popular
Hi team, does anyone know what time the vent comes out?
counts toward shorty shotguns tbh+
tomorrow
Not in 6*
nope, thus far it is a secret. 24th during business hours sometime. usually 9am CEST
bow isnt popular cuz its alot more difficult to use than a romero hc or auto 4
Why do people act like 6* is the only valid spot to draw data from?
but if you learn it its super good
Sorry I didn’t mean it like that
Although it certainly looks like that
people talk about the bracket they spend most of their time in i guess
Nono it's all good, I understand you, just noticed a theme that people do that a lot
Thx 🙏🏻
Like no other MMR brackets matter because 6* is the best or something
it's just assumed that is the bracket where meta is decided because everyone be sweatin so hard
I mean I think crytek certainly balances on a 2/3 star level when they should be focusing on 6 star because that’s where shit actually gets abused
That's fair, but meta is definitely prevalent in lower brackets too
The game should be balanced for everyone, but that's kind of unrealistic
People in 6* can really push weapons and tools to their max potential. I think thats why patches and hotfixes make sense based on this data
it's just a hard thign to do unless you want to conceptually toss the "just playing with whatever for fun or because you like it" idea out the window
some percent of players aren't in 6* specifically because of their refusal to use the strongest loadouts.
I don’t think bringing the shit that’s being abused back into line is throwing the ability to play what you want out the window
Probably a lot
I'm not phrasing the idea well, my brain is moosh
People are talking about the mosin dolch meta which primarily takes place on 6*
i mean it always was, but it is now too
Even tho mosin dolch (while still meta) isn't quite as heavily used as it was before since the shorty shotgun buffs
I guess my views are skewed because in oce every MMR kinda gets queued together BC otherwise every server would be mostly empty instead of just half of them
Yeahhhh
Imo MMR should low-key be removed
There should be a newbie MMR pool and a pool for everyone else
yeah in oce bracket hardly matters. 2* and 6* in the same lobbies on the regs
Like till lvl 25 you get put against other newbies unless you start going sicko mode getting like 8+ kills a game
Well that’s because the player counts are shit
And add the vs bots mode as a selection anyone can make in the lobby
it is entirely for that reason yes
But i think there are very big differences between people that just got out of newbie mmr, and going up against everybody else
I think it should still be skill based not level based because some players may be disadvantaged or just never have the means to compete in the higher bracket.
Right now even if you're new you still get put against everyone else lmao
Well after you stop fighting bots
yeah i;m not sure the bot lobbies really help with the transition to the "Real game" for new players
I think bot lobbies should just be something you can choose to queue into with a preset free hunter
Either for testing or learning
But you get NOTHING from it
No money no gear no anything
it just gives people a false sense of hope before getting curb stomped by actual players
like going from those bots to even the most decidedly average players is going to be rough
Just learning
That depends on the server you are playing i would say. In EU you can get more people together, who are 2-4 stars, then on other servers. So the likelyhood on EU is greater to be matched with people, that at least somehow represent your skill, while on servers who are less populated, you mostly go up against people, that play for a longer time
oh asia is better for new player lobbies too, they have way more players in total and way more players in 2-3-4..
you can actually get full lobbies of 3-4 mostly
thats just by virtue of more people BEING in asia
yes you have cracked the code
my less-good-at-shooters friend actually enjoys playing asia because he has some chance of being in approximately same skilled lobbies. doesn't happen all that often in oce
Ye on NA or South America etc, that would basically be very difficult
oce tends to be dead since most of the users there either join asia server or na west server
but they only join those because its dead
catch 22
numbers are usually ok during peak player / event times
just not inbetween or at off-peak times.
Ye i am glad that i am playing on EU, you basically always have fast lobbies 😂
playing ~120-140 latency is really not all that enjoyable to the point where it feels like playing a weird weeble-wooble game imho
on na east i get a decent speed of matchmaking
currently deciding if i wanna hop on hunt or continue chilling
We're lucky if we get a lobby with players to begin with man, gotta count our blessings
chillin or illin, the eternal question
we takes em how we can get em
Or the hunter you have selected, but no progress, like firing range
give the poor newbies free cash rounds imo, it'll make having it taken off them constantly when they get to real lobbies sting slightly less
I remember my fortnite not rounds and they just made me angry
I was trying a pvp game and my time was being wasted
Like, I'm here to get 360° no scoped by a toddler
i don't love it myself but i don't think that sort of thing is done for long term FPS players
And I get a bot that sprays a sniper rifle which paints my outline
I got first place in my first game with humans first time, and never went back
i don't get the feeling the kids are playing FPS in droves unless it's fornite or callerdoodie
I know I was probably matched vs afk people who were 7 years old
But like, I'm taking the win
Retire undefeated
ofc. i played a little fortnite, for whatever reason some friends wanted to. It's not that bad. I can see the appeal to a degree.
Equally I tried the beta of overwatch, realised tracer was crap and nothing in the game compared to spy or scout and never tried it again
not really for me, but that's fine
The lego game mode is great
Ironically far more like fortnite was originally intended
I never tried the rocket league thing
i played a little bit of early OW too. I don't heaps like shooters that lean into the weird abilities and team-formula stuff. tanks. damage. crowd control whatever. Am I playin a god damn RPG what is this
Has that ended? I'm allergic to epic games launcher tbh
rocket league is one of the bigger esport games these days
they have comps and pros and real money and such
No, not real rocket league
I love that
what is this not rocket league rocket league then
I mean the fortnite facsimile
oh right. i know nothing about it. is it on their version of roblox or whatever it is
their modding platform thing i guess
RL is cool, i'm just too dumb and old to get good at a game so fundamentally different from anything i've spent significant time playing
I'm fine with just being decidedly average at the genres i'm already familiar with while i quietly potato into decrepitude
Ah, I play a lot of different things so I'm at peace with never getting truely good at anything
I've been playing "skate."
ah yeah i've played a little of the new skate
It's the best "free to play" game I've played I think
they definitely vacuumed it's soul out it's butt but the gameplay is mechanically sound
What an interesting sentence to look at with my own two eyes.
I think once people realise the voice actors are actually pro skaters irl people will be more sympathetic to the bad acting
contextually it is both eloquent and very descriptive of a true fact I can assure you
It's completely accurate
It's very mass market, despite the game demanding so much from you
Reminds me of that 1000 Ways To Die episode.
Meaning it'll never be mass market
are they really? that's wild. it sounds like they got the CFOs PA to write the dialogue
I can't vouch for the writing!
Only the vo
The item placement is great, but the physics are often unintentionally hillarious
there is also a lot more base jumping in a skating game than i expected
And you can't crash into anyone
You can actually skate from any fall if you do it right
You can spread eagle to air break
You just need to line up with an incline
I'm sure i'll get more time in it, one friend is pretty keen on it
Then caveman your board out of your pocket
when update
What I love about it is other than challenges and fast travel locations (and placables) nothing is gated away
Update ones tomorrow but at what time exactly? 10am 12pm?
it's probably not even the 24th wherever you are. but sometime during.. it.
they havent given a specific time yet
usually they do 9am CEST
but who knows they like to get spicey sometimes
yeah. it'd be nice if the rubbing your nose in the cash shop was less overt but it is electronic arts, and it is 2025. so.
So hopefully at 9 for me nice
bro im so broke and i never win i need advixe
They ease off after the first 10 times
That is such a broad question with so many answers.
Just equip a spear and nothing else, worked for me
run free hunters until you find your mojo is a start
Funny thing is it's not even a question
don't rub them. they aren't genie lamps
Just a statement
You're so right.
Instructions unclear, now blacklisted from hiring free hunters
Your avatar is sonic, do you shift+w at all times?
making money is hard in vanilla hunt
What? No
during event, make sure you hit event registers
Vulture, cheap gear
well, it's less easy
any other ways to like make money quickly
The skill vulture and witness are very useful
Soul Survivor.
Skulk around after team fights
it's harder than during events, c'marn, don't emoji me, i'll get blisters :I
Avoid bounty clash, use vulture, run free hunters or soul survivors
Bounty clash with ACTUAL free hunters isn't terrible
free hunters > when they survive get vulture and packmule
clash is really not a money maker unless you're extracting with bounty / winning lobbies
Packmule and vulture don't interact anymore
Play free hunters and put only 2 weak vit shots on them
Remove the trait you start with and put on vulture instead
2 clues makes you even on the weak vits, and any fights you get guaranteed money (double if your tools/consumables are full)
Well yes, win or die
He mentioned that bc you fill up on tools/consumables faster so you can get the double proc on vulture faster
Not how vulture works
Vulture Just gives cash now
you can get 2 x vulture cash though no? or something
Ah
The vulture loot is its own loot, then then standard loot that always gives money
it's not generally huge but it still helps
Regular cash for being full+vulture cash
^
right. right. i sometimes know what i'm talking about i'm told
When does the event start tomorrow?
i can't dispute the rarity really
I dont really care about it either way tbh
we dunno. probs some amount of hours after the server sgo down at probably 9am-ish
The only one that really mattered was mythic, as in those ones would never return
I, misunderstood what yiu said
Im home sick so my brain is kek'd atm
thats ok, i misunderstand what i say sometimes too
i'm tired, spagooter brain power
Its never worth it on any event release for any game
Let's not forget the release of Judgement of the Fool
Just go to work and then come back and enjoy the game lol
not going to work is pretty good though
Money
granted it is less great if you take time off to sit on your thumbs while a patch takes 5x longer to roll out than expected.
Meanwhile here i am, getting a 2nd job on the weekends on top of my 65hr job lol
77 days of event btw 🤣
Losing out on either pay/pto ain't worth it to me over a video game
But each their own
if you have sick days you are still getting money while sitting on your thumbs
Exactly
I have like.. months of LSL i havent taken. probably a silly amount of PTO also cos i rarely take it
I have a week but its for when I take a week off for my tattoo
Getting my whole arm done and I work with metal and heat so id rather not ruin it, it is considered an open wound after all
that sounds sensible
i can't imagine getting a full sleeve and then going straight to any form of manual labour
with the itchies? no, no.
nope
Sometimes I think ahead, and other times I spend money on sleep token merch
That's gonna be a bitch enjoy also resist the urge to scratch
I did it with my latest one and let me tell you it wasnt fun
And the heat od the welder and pipes made it so much worse, couldnt drill anything either
I believe
Yea why im staying home lol
Im gonna wear mittens or something if the itch gets too bad ngl, already thought about it
Whenever I'd get the urge to scratch mine, I'd scratch my cat instead. Win-win situation. 
elegant
Truee
itching is of the devil and possibly the worst thing of all the things. i hate it
Yo?
For a tattoo? Go ahead i hate Victorian era stuff anyways
I don't, I actually love Gothic and such
me when hunt is semi gothic horror
i am somewhat of a gothic enthusiast myself yesss
One of the things that drew me in, not the cowboy stuff honestly
The trend of "what modern day things would send a Victorian child into a coma" is hilarious to me, considering what Victorian age people did.
Which was drink embalming fluid after it had been used.
im a fan of the cowboy stuff
Like 40ks architecture is what initially drew me into the hobby
Its a lot
i mean is it even really embalming fluid if it hasn't been used yet?
from what i gathered, 10/10 would get turned into corpse starch again
aint got no zest. it's just chemicals
Is this impressive or normal ? I played solo vs trios and killed 8 and died twice because luckily the boss dropped a necro trait
8 kills in a lobby is normally impressive
Doesn't matter what we think, if you think it was cool thats all that matters
but 8 kills as a solo is certainly above average
good work!
i don't care what sized team you're in, 8 kills is loooong way from a fail.
I would constitute that as a "good game"
you dumpstered that lobby. I'd give myself a merit badge for the effort.
😂
My highest kill game as of late was 13, but that was Mosin uppercut so not really impressive
I DID get a 30m spear throw kill tho
Otherwise lots of 5-8s
I played this game vetterli and hand cross bow
i also dont play solo anymore, so thats just impressive as well
anything double digits is wild really, and ought to be uncommon unless you don't cast a shadow or something
my highest kill game was an 11 kill game as a duo trio pre 1896
officer carbine my beloved
i'm not sure i've ever managed double digits myself
We talking
Highest kill game ever?
that game ended in a trade i was fucking pissed
19 for me
selfishly my team mates often steal my kills.. or don't let me steal all of theirs.
once again, Mosin uppercut
How do you get 19 kills holy
farming
Lots of redowns
also mosin pre 1896
you kill every enemy player multiple times basically
Ive played for a few months and highest i got was 8
If they revive and you kill them again
Although I remember a significant amount of them being headshots
Lawson Station my beloved
any significant multiple of 1 is entirely respectable, and 8 is 8 times one, SO
Sometimes I hit shots xD
i just dont
Anyone have an idea on what time they will be releasing the new update? Couldn’t seem to find it anywhere?
Ive been playing for 8 years
That was with romero and scottfield iirc
usually drops around 6am EST
God I hope im somewhat decent at the game at this point xD
they're keeping it under their stetsons seemingly. no specific time announced yet
24 September if i am not wrong
they will post a time, likely today
Cheers gents!!
someone shot me in the back of the head and i got so scared i have a headache
Is that why my head is pounding? Must've had that happen to me
Hunt does some really good jump scares sometimes
Im sick and I hate it 🙁 had so much work today to to finish now I get to crunch the rest of the week
i've about thrown my mouse off the desk accidentally sometimes
i'm guilty of daydreaming mid lobby, mid fight a lot though admittedly
love that mod on HD2 btw
only game that makes me fucking jump out of my chair bro i swear
Im not at my computer atm
Just search up megumin mod hd2 and it was the first popup for me
you also don't sleep. this all seems like a bad combo
I took a lot of my sleep aid and got 5 hours of sleep, thats the most in nearly a year I've had
I feel terrible
well check out the 3 toed sloth
What?
and essentially rarely move
I should, on that note, sleep myself. I'll barely get my typical 10 hours in at this rate
you just need someone to hit you in the head with a frying pan
you'll get some sleep
rookie numbers
I hope they fix these crashes next update
Its gorgeous outside, I could sleep out in my yard
i used to be a lot better at it. i used to do a solid 12-14 fairly regularly
my co-workers freak the fuck out when i tell them i consistently sleep 10-14 hours a day
I still cant believe you crash so much, I've never crashed at all yhe last 2 updates
yeah i actually havent crashed either
some combinations of hardware are particularly pernickity i guess
maybe its an issue with your machine? although i wouldnt put it past hunt to just crash
Yo wtf are these numbers boys.
Trade with me? How does an hour to 2 hours a night sound
No PC fine
Im surprised im so attentive while driving, its scary my doctor and sleep nurse always ask me how tf I drive
but yes i would completely disintegrate as a person with that little sleep very quickly
Now whether or not im a good driver is another debate im a lead foot for sure
Lmfao
just have a personal anesthesiologist to make you sleep all the time
Yo true
only like.....$500k a year to hire one
Fuck making money to live im bouta pay someone to do that for me
But I have no clue what causes the crashes
i think you tend to miss important sleep phases when narcotically knocked out
I already work 2 jobs and applied to a 3rd, whats ONE more
lmao what
Correct, honestly i miss dreaming
I dont get REM sleep bc of my condition
man when im super tired i have the weirdest dreams
Yea shits wack lol
but if im not super tired i dont dream
I almost never remember dreams, or dreaming. My theory is, that's just when my innie goes to work.
i remember most of my dreams for a day afterword
Iirc its a subconscious thing
Some people remember dreams vividly, some dont remember a ything
i have known people who vividly recall all their horrid dreams, and i am not at all jealous tbh
yeah dont be
it certainly does not sound restful.
I just want a dream lol, maybe some day
i've heard smoking weed triggers weird ass dreams? do you do that
Maybe in 10 more years when I get 4! Hours of sleep
I am probably what you would call overly familiar with the devils lettuce. i don't really dream much either way
THC and CBD gives me chronic migraines, I've tried it all lol
damn
or at least, i don't remember them if they do happen.
have you ever considered you may be cursed
I am the only alcoholic in a house full of stoners
Thought about it
i've done both. the green one is easier on the old bod thats for sure
Quick question what could cause something to override my fans cause I've just checked my fans aren't spinning at all unless I have it on manual
There are settings where to save power and ball bearing life they won't spin unless the temperature gets hot enough
if you've ever manually tweaked fan curves you could maybe have pooched em i guess
But overheating would absolutely cause crashes
I think 70s too hot
Typically no
depends on the device in question
but yeah 70c is not thermal protection town for much that i can think of
I usually stay around 30
My rig runs at normally 60-70 but I always full load it
my 3090 hot spotted around 80c all the time. i'm blissfully ignorant of my 5090 temps due to sheer lazyness
I have a 7800xt and it never goes above 70
cpu cruisdes up to 90+ regularly under load but am5 is like that
I also am.tryna figure out another decent oc on it, but otherwise I uv it
I'm just trying to think what's causing my crashing
You could be having memory issues, either in vram, ram, or your storage device
that will usually clue you in if it's a temps thing
Memory fine ran a test for that one
When I was using hard drives I would always crash bc of them
me still using a 2070 super
do a decent cinebench run, and download the 3dmark demo
my buddy playing on a 1060
he cant run the game anymore (thats the joke)
So he's not broke, he has an expensive hobby
real
priiiorities
As a guy who 3d prints stuff, likes warhammer 40k and painting... I get it
Are tattoos a hobby? Cant they be considered that?
warhammer. one of those hobbies where buying a 3d printer instead of buying the minis seems like a reasonable
idea
minus the copyright laws that can get you fined and arrested ^
they're deffs a hobby for some just like they're a job for some i spose
Hello I think i will work half day on Wednesday and then take Thursday off
Thank you
you havent finished the hobby until you've decided to fully black out entire limbs
@dense sleet Elegant wanna be on call tech support
That shit is gross to me
I only know one guy who has done it and he is, to put it mildly, a complete lunatic
Im not the best at trouble shooting, I kinda just know a bit about a bit
But if I know I can always try to help
but he is (was actually) also a tattoo artist
anything can be considered a hobby with enough time investment
i wonder if staring at my ceiling is a hobby
and ran his own shop and all that
i do that shit so often
I'm joking but that aside my PC works fine besides the crashing
And I run stuff on low to med just to be safe
currently he is some kind of guru, i think he may have fruited so hard he is now a salad tbh
One in the same.in that regard
