[desert acorn]

bought the game on sale for a friend, and gonna walk him through the bayou

[icy elbow]

you can DM modmail

don’t know how quick you’ll get a response

[vagrant current]

ah we just did

[left orbit]

so 43 dmg, after lemat, 5 seconds before punches, is it possible that the sped up regen prevented the kill there??

[gleaming dove]

where are redeem codes going to be?

[dreamy cave]

Probably on the website

[gleaming dove]

oh, never been there before

[zenith spruce]

anyone know what graphics setting changes the rain

[wraith echo]

If she used a sun card Probably yeah

Though didn’t she die afterwards?

[left orbit]

our dude finished here but bruh that’s insane if it’s that card that did that 😅 i should try it…

[quick smelt]

Tô com uma esok de 120m e vários acima de 50m P V

[mild flower]

It only has an active time of 1 minute

It's best to pair it with a couple of judgements(cards) and vigor(trait)

[left orbit]

i know that but here what i’m interested in is if it was enough to recover 60HP in 5-6 seconds

first hit 107 -> 43HP left
five seconds later, second hit + third hit = 102 HP

meaning she recovered at least 102 - 43 = 59HP in 5 seconds

should have spammed the fmj x)

ma brain didn’t brain

[lost quiver]

Hello there

[bitter hatch]

seen a lot less goth baddies in the bayou than i expected

[icy elbow]

Goth baddie is a state of mind

[bitter hatch]

it's not a state of mind it's a way of life

i've not noticed less fights in higher stars

but i have noticed a significant split between playstyles in high stars

there's some ppl that play aggro, go for the super fights, etc.

and there's soe people that sit in bushes and towers 200+ meters out

[mild flower]

Yes, especially if they had vigor and used dark sight around the corner

[left orbit]

nah she was reloading the homestead that she blasted me with right after :p but yeah the card alone ig does the job

[ancient cave]

just had a scuffed game, not a bad one, just strange

duo friends with a random third, this third didn't do anything the entire game except beetle, he brought 4 beetles to just hover around and ping corpses.
we thought we killed everyone but I guess just enough survived to rez 2 teams back up and after we killed the bounty we came back to all of them just wandering around aimlessly, not going for the web or rotjaw.
had to kill them all again then the rando who shot his gun 0 times started boasting about how easy the last guy was

[mild flower]

Haha get you texts unlinked

Damnit I was too late

I personally do tally marks on my walls

is there any sort of clownphobia mod or setting? my friend has it really bad

[hearty sentinel]

easy to keep track

[dreamy cave]

No

Not many clowns tho

[spring egret]

isnt clowns one of the most popular skins

we played a few games and looked it up and saw nothing but clowns and people saying its popular skin

[short halo]

I've seen one of the clown skins maybe twice since Murder Circus ended

They aren't really popular

[spring egret]

when did murder circus end?

[short halo]

February

[fiery nebula]

So for Twitch Drops it says “Claim each reward on Twitch before your watch time progresses to the next milestone.”

Does that mean I have to claim them before the next set on the 22nd or after 30 minutes I have to claim that reward before I reach an hour, and so on?

[crisp eagle]

cowns only in event

[icy elbow]

Before the next set, which is on the 27th.

[fiery nebula]

Gotcha, and then week 2 would meet to be claimed by the 3rd?

[dire sun]

Im not a hunt showdown pro player but why the hell do I see so many players just jumping around all over the fucking place?

I get maybe if ur being shot at it it makes a tough target but I see people jumping and doing their worst attempt at strafing when just, trying to enter a compound

[icy elbow]

My bad it’s not the 27th it is the 22nd, you were right. But the claim is set based and not per item based

[dire sun]

i cannot see an advantage to making your movement slowed and doing so as loudly and as easy to track as possible

[icy elbow]

So you just need to claim them before the next set

[whole mist]

Harder to be headshot randomly

[smoky river]

thank you crytek for the cowboy waifu dlc's recently, not just Caged Bird. Been a GBG fan since day 1

[boreal gull]

bomb launcher reloads significantly faster than the bomb lance right ?

[unique trail]

Oh I see

Ty

[bright girder]

is there something unusual going on with the EU server on PC? I remember before my ping was ~20ms, yesterday I noticed it was 34ms (same as the Russian server for me) and now its 40ms while the Russian server is still 34... which is weird because I'm in Ireland there's no reason the Russian server should ever have the same ping as the EU to me

and I feel like it wouldn't be my internet because why would only the EU server's ping change and none of the others

[mild flower]

Probably effects of the AWS outage

It's not just hunt

[snow ivy]

Significant in that you can get off a second wave charge before they heal, not that much faster

[bright girder]

mabe though honestly I more remember like the first ping change happening weeks ago

I guess itsjust going up further because of that

[whole furnace]

Routing can mean a lot for a ping.
You have a route with more jumps to EU servers than to Russia.

AND your routing can depend on your ISP provider

[bright girder]

I mean I guess but my ISP didn't change or anything

[dense sleet]

Its just a natural thing that happens

All ISPs can have moment of too much routing or now enough

how hunt prealpha footage used to look:

[unique trail]

Got 2 kills in hunt and then missed like a bunch of shots after that would have been kills

[icy elbow]

Have you tried hitting them

With the bullets?

[crystal bay]

Dang

I've just been focused on hitting them with the air from the bullets not the actual bullets

[south shore]

An incredibly advanced technique only Snowy could pull off.

[dense sleet]

Im far from.new lol I always make a comment when I see you post a video

[unique trail]

Ah the classic @unique trail @dense sleet back and forth

[south shore]

Ive never seen you in this server before, elebelly.

[vestal canyon]

I was never using the Change Hunter button, I clicked on Hunters every time lmao. ever since the UI update

thanks

this is better

[crystal bay]

What can I say

I like to warn them

10-30 times

before letting them kill me

[whole furnace]

Question can we preview the bileweaver event skins somewhere?

[dense sleet]

I dont think i like you anymore

[crystal bay]

The battlepass ones?

[junior badge]

Do trap kills still count toward your KDA if you died as long as you're spectating?

[crystal bay]

As long as you are still in the match yeah

[whole furnace]

No the ones we unlock by killing 123122341234 spiders

[dense sleet]

He means fhe community event ones

[crystal bay]

They should count towards your KDA

Ope

i see

[dense sleet]

I havent found any way to see the skins

[junior badge]

Awesome. Had the biggest trap kill streak ever tonight. Loving the new portable red barrels.

[dense sleet]

[dense sleet]

Wiped a single trio by shooting a chain of em i made with explo xD

[junior badge]

My duo partner & I trapped the hell out of the area, died but then spectated. A solo was the only person who survived... grabbed the bounty then ran right into our trap.

[dense sleet]

I made a chain of 6 of em and shot one and heard 3 deaths

[junior badge]

Server wipe, post-death.

[whole furnace]

Well, the Mosin Avtomat skin shares name with this skin

[dense sleet]

Thats a leak no

I should've said official

But yes, I saw the skins, but not from an official crytek post

[whole furnace]

No that is literally just a very old skin

[dense sleet]

Well duh

[deep bridge]

the hell is going on with the servers now

[whole furnace]

Aaaaah

Do I gain instinct as long as I don't consume it all?

I am 99% sure that lagswitching only works if hit reg is server side.

[dense sleet]

I HAVE WORK TO GET TOO

[mild flower]

it could be done for peeker's advantage tbf

[dense sleet]

high ping is not a benefit for peekers advantage

low ping would be significantly better for that

[umbral laurel]

why is the servers lagging

[dawn mantle]

you having low ping while your opponent has high ping would be better if you're looking for the advantage

[crystal bay]

Server could be derping

[lofty sinew]

anyone know how long you have to claim twitch rewards before they just go poof

is it by the end of the week 1 period? maybe?

[dry violet]

just claim it and then link account

idk about claim period but as long as its claimed you can link it to any account whenever

[lofty sinew]

i am already linked

but i am also close to prestige. and it seems pointless to claim a bunch of supply boxes to just immediately delete them

[whole furnace]

As far I am aware, the claim last as long as the drops run.

[lofty sinew]

right but is each week an individual promotion period? it kinda looks like it

[whole furnace]

But if you are worried you can always just claim the skin items. In the grand picture losing some weapons/money ain't end of the world :)

[lofty sinew]

not trying to claim it is. just wondering if anyone knew how long you can sit on claiming them

[dense sleet]

week one yo ucan claim ONLY during week 1

week 2 only during week 2

[whole furnace]

again as I said

[dense sleet]

in terms of claiming them? t hat i dont

you like a month later af ter co mpleting them? i think twitch deletes them after that point

but unsure

[whole furnace]

It does

[lofty parrot]

I know its early but a Lobby with only 3 ppl? 😄
Killed one and the other managed to get herself killed by bear xD

Well at least I had time to do croc veeeery slow

depending on TOD and region this is absolutely not unheard of

[dense sleet]

149 at 7m with drilling buck is so sad

[whole furnace]

It do be like that sometimes lol

[dense sleet]

i got first bullet headshot by nagant silenced fanning

mid jump

im going to commit, idk what but something

[lofty sinew]

i did 97 at 4m with terminus buck recently. directly to chest. but they had a katana out. I guess arms ate most of the pellets. still unsure how that results in less than 150 though

[south shore]

Wut

Oh the hammer throw

From.the icon

[whole furnace]

Dunno since the 2.0 patch buckshot have felt wonky at times, especially the drilling have let me down a lot

[dense sleet]

i normally dont have an issue with shotguns

but like

im so sad

i mustve had a pellet land arms instead of chest or sumin

[lofty sinew]

that one in particular just felt a bit ?? because i felt pretty safe with a dork melee charging me when i had a shotgun in hand. apparently i shoulda pulled out the spear or something :I

[quick smelt]

vem pv quem quiser trade fruta

[lofty sinew]

88 million spiders and we have killed a million hey

[south shore]

I killed a millio

[lofty sinew]

spent a lot of time in the lair hey

[outer iron]

The game doesn't encourage me to participate with these "kill limits". Remove it for the event.

[dense sleet]

50 spiders is more than enough and thats just for the event points, it still counts for the event

[outer iron]

Kill limits are lame. Let me go full doom guy on this.

[dense sleet]

also spending 20+ minuts killing spiders for 1pt a piece sounds insane to me

id would much rather just reset and go get more

[deep ginkgo]

Do we know if they will add a new map in the future?

[short halo]

At some point, sure, most likely

[dense sleet]

maps in hunt take a long time

[whole furnace]

you still get exp for your bl/hunter progression, knock yourself out

[lofty parrot]

Guys can u check my math? 😅
I am hard confused

So

4 Ppl in Lobby with me (Sad)
We all 4 are solos
Me and 2 other were fighting between healing and lockbay, while the last did the bountyboss (never saw dat guy)
I have 6 Kills
Well.. even when both had necro... shouldn´t it just be 4? 😅
Tbf I was faaaairly sure on the one side i played vs 2 cuz i downed him again and again and he kept standing up
So I thought he gets revived time and time again

[short halo]

Empress card gives Necro on use

[dense sleet]

it gives catalyst/necro/ random scarce and/or burn trait

i would firmly expect every solo to have one at this point

at least, i do everytime its a solo

[dawn mantle]

do we have images of the skins

[lofty parrot]

1. Yeah I had dat in mind

2. Puzzle solved xD Wooooow
   Seems like u can have several empress xD
   I Killed the one Solo 5!!! times xDDD Just checked my highlights

Btw Resultscreen shows 6 Kills (dats correct) and the teamscreen only 1

[dense sleet]

empty cairn, but for the avto

[dense sleet]

^

[dawn mantle]

theres no limit on how many cards you can hold apart from the generic consumable limit of 4

you can have 5 necros if you bring 4 empress cards and manage to burn them all

[lofty parrot]

Yeah sure but I never thought someon would go with at least 3 Empress cards 😄

[dense sleet]

why not

plus Fool cards

if you dont have all empress

[dawn mantle]

^

It's possible The Fool was in play

[lofty parrot]

Hahah Kinda funny 😄
But just worked cuz we fought long range

[clever rapids]

does iron eye affect uppercut prec?

[dense sleet]

nope

[clever rapids]

nvm guess no

should be a pistol varient of iron eye

[dense sleet]

why?

[clever rapids]

@crytek

[dense sleet]

pistols can stay in sight anyways

literally no need

[dawn mantle]

^

[lofty parrot]

Well then is the Teamscreen after the game bugged with the kills or just shows "kills" not when u "down" someone?

Before it showed u all right?

[dawn mantle]

They don't unsight when recocking

Unlike bolties or lever actions

[dense sleet]

solos always count as kills

but for when its a team its a down unless its the final of the team

[lofty parrot]

Yeah all been solos but teamscreen only showed 1 kill each
While I had 6 And even the Resultswcreen said 6
Dats what confused me

[dense sleet]

it wont count it as kills x6

at least in team details

but yo ustill get kills

its wierd i know, i dont really quite get why its like that

[lofty parrot]

Sad
I am sure earlier u saw everytime u "downed" someone
So U saw like Kill a 5:36 kill at 7:11 and kill at 8:44

[dense sleet]

down and kill is different in game verbage

a kill is a team finish, a down is a death while the team is still active

[crisp notch]

bro i was fighting for my fuckin life

[dense sleet]

but since a solo IS the final person of the team, is considered a kill

[dense sleet]

love those games

just lost a hectic one but it was such a fun fight so it was fine to lose it

[lofty parrot]

Yeah such deaths are ok
Pref such a death 100% over a OHKO from a bushcamper like last round xD

[crisp notch]

legit by the end of it i depleted the ammo in my vett, threw my spear, 2 dynamite sticks (which i only had from looting dead people) and 4 shors left in my new army by the time i extracted lol

[dense sleet]

it be like that sometimes

[lofty parrot]

Uhmmmm I hit the arm... Suuuuuure xD

[dense sleet]

what gun?

depending on the rifle thats bullet drop distance

[lofty parrot]

Vetterli
No falloff range

[dense sleet]

vet marks?

[lofty parrot]

yeah

[dense sleet]

that looks pretty far man

did you check the distance?

vet d rop is only 125

140 with HV

110 with FMJ and 100 with Sub

[lofty parrot]

Nah only 70m

[dense sleet]

hm, w/o a clip its a bit hard to gauge

[lofty parrot]

wait i give ya

[dense sleet]

he couldve seen ya last second and jumped or something

[dense sleet]

i also dont trust this i was meaning the distance indicator from the damage log

[lofty parrot]

I get hs AFTER I shot frame by frame u see me on his head I do the shot and after the shot when i am out of scope I die

Give me a sec

[dense sleet]

in that case i think he saw you and just jumped TO avoid the hs

but ill wait for clip

like he is literally looking your direction lol

[lofty parrot]

For me its 95% Head and maaaaaaaaaaybe 5% upper Body but in no worlds it was Arm xD

Last frame before shot
Sry dats not arm 😄

[dense sleet]

i just headshot nitro traded, with another nitro

i hate my life right now

[lofty parrot]

Sad 😄
Well u killed a nitro xD

[lofty parrot]

Was already out when I wrote here

[atomic coral]

and @lofty parrot: He's closer than bullet drop distance, if the thick bar touched his feet that's 1 head height of drop. However, that hunter is looking down and healing or something, so their arms are in front and moving, and the hunter is moving. That hunter easily could have moved into an arm shot by the time the bullet traveled.

[dense sleet]

he turned last second

[dense sleet]

thats not 125 regardless

which is vet drop

and you cant quite go off of scopes since every gun has different drops and the marks is the same model per weapon

its not adjusted

[atomic coral]

Yep, they turned by the time the bullet hit

[dense sleet]

so that point means absolutely nothing

btw revan^

[atomic coral]

Wait, so sniper reticle is different per weapon, but marksman isn't?

[dense sleet]

there is currently no scope indicators

to my knowledge every scope has nothing liek this

[lofty parrot]

Oh ffs xDDDD sad life

[dense sleet]

@lofty parrot this is why btw when you make a post like this you NEVER go off of the frame before you shoot, since travel time in hunt

you go off of impact

and even then blood is client sided so its still a meh moment

[atomic coral]

The scopes are exactly like this. They added the thick vertical bar to indicate a weapon would drop 1 head height if a hunter fit between the thick vertical post and the crosshair.

[dense sleet]

do you have a post about this?

ive never once heard of this

i dont play scopes a lot, but not once have i heard anything like this

its not that i dont believe you, i just never once heard of this

hell people used 3rd party crosshair programs for drop and lead markers lol

[whole furnace]

Thx crytek lmao

[atomic coral]

Been there for a year. https://huntshowdown.fandom.com/wiki/Update_2.1.0.56

[lofty parrot]

I play scopes but i didnt hear it either ^^
I always snipe over 100/150m by feeling at works pretty well 😄

[dense sleet]

well ill bite my words

intersting now i know

[atomic coral]

You're words were "I've never once heard of this", which was true. Not many people know or make use of it apparently.

It was also the update they added Clash and changed the bullet pen, which kind of overshadowed it.

[dense sleet]

yea that would make sense lol

[dense sleet]

wait wtf? the 3rd bullet point... REALLY?

no way thats still in teh game right? if so i guess ive never noticed it or anything then thats kinda neato

[jolly canyon]

No need for that when i run centennial sniper with high velo lmao

The 1865 carbine is a gun i want to love but boy does it not make any sense

[amber escarp]

Is there a way to get skins from past events? just saw the Crimson Varnish Skin for my beloved Haymaker but i started playing after the tides event 🙁

[jolly canyon]

I remember them releasing skins for BB purchase from past holiday events.

Ive always wanted the cane cav sabre

[amber escarp]

So there is still hope. Or is it possible like in Fallout 76 to message Customer Support to buy out of rotation skins?

[jolly canyon]

Ask @wide roost but i highly doubt it

[wide roost]

Hiya. Please don't ping our dev team unless it's urgent ❤️ @jolly canyon

Some event skins may return to the Bayou, but other may have been event exclusive and would only return as a variant of sorts
(Think of The Skinned vs The Skinner)

We came out with a blog around this topic a few months ago.

They do :)

[lost storm]

any of you guys seen that hunger extraction game? just saw, looks cool. Need a new extraction would be nice

idk how to feel about arc raiders so ig will be sticking to hunt. event hasnt been bad too

[obsidian cedar]

Has anyone claimed their drops but didn't get them in game?

[sinful aurora]

sometimes you have to play one match to get them. sometimes you have to restart the game.
make sure your twitch account and hunt account is still linked, in some cases they can get unlinked. sometimes relinking can help even if they are still linked.

[obsidian cedar]

I had to restart twice. Thank you though

[sinful aurora]

np

[dawn mantle]

Might try and get into being a hunt youtuber.

[left orbit]

it's hot garbage unless you are within 15 meters from enemy

[left orbit]

for me changing region worked as well

it's faster than restarting :p

[dawn mantle]

Would a melee focused hunt youtuber even be something people would watch

every time I see a hunt vid ots people with the same ol weapons

[dawn mantle]

Is it bad I want a PvE mode?

I have a friend who loves hunt's aesthetic, but he hates PvP games

And I really wish I could play this with him lmao

Was thinking about the relentless solo thing from yesterday

What if Relentless on solo kept them alive at 0 HP, but further damage is multiplied and chars instead

Mutually exclusive with Necro since dying means you're already burnt out, thus trading the "pick yourself up" of necro for burning bars to stay alive in the first place

[wheat pilot]

It would have to basically give no rewards at all

Or very little

Otherwise it would turn into a free XP farm to level up hunters

[dawn mantle]

I'd imagine it'd be like Tarkov's PvE

basically a seperate, PvE only account

No connection between PvE and PvP modes (apart from skins you own and stuff like that)

[wheat pilot]

That sounds cool but I feel like it's a lot of work for a gamemode which wouldn't make them a lot of profit

[dawn mantle]

yeah, unfotunately

[dawn mantle]

I think this could work. Don't go down and are left on 1HP. Ignite and any further damage is boosted and chars instead. If your entire bar chars, instant death and can't necro.

I'd want to see it tested first ofc but could be interesting

Especially for a scarce trait

[sinful aurora]

sounds super OP ngl xD
even if it was only "saves you from going down once and then the trait is removed" is very very very strong.

[dawn mantle]

Well, another idea I had was that it acted like old regen injectors

Constant regeneration with no downtime

Which is admittedly more balanced and still fits the relentless themeing

[wheat pilot]

Yeah I think a perk which lets someone survive a lethal shot and then immediately fire back with no delay is not a good idea

and imagine how frustrating it would be to play against

you blast someone with a shotgun from 2 meters away and they just brush it off and kill you

[dawn mantle]

I'd always assume it wouldn't trigger on headshots

[foggy coral]

AGAIN?

[dawn mantle]

And technically shotguns aren't affected

They have multiple pellets

Unless the threshold was a single pellet, it'll kill you regardless as long as it can outdamage the trait

But yeah regens probably better

Cause it means if you get jumped and blown away in an instant you're dead anyway

And it mostly helps when you've taken a single shot and take cover

[devout dune]

Did the servers just die?

[young wren]

bruh the first double bounty win and everyone disconnects.... this game is terrible

[sudden granite]

yes

gg

[foggy coral]

I got this error in the middle of the game and the game kicked me out.

[devout dune]

We back it seems. Carry on

[young wren]

can't even reconnect to play at all now

[foggy coral]

100%

[untold stag]

[young wren]

now it just lets us reconnect

everyone alive lol

[little heart]

Still can’t make it in ):

[devout dune]

I had a level 49 hunter. Just wanted to get them out before they went down again or something. Mission success

[dawn mantle]

Well if it's AWS this time they're not saying it

[devout dune]

Went down for maybe a minute. Not much to say about it if anything

[pearl gorge]

🛠️

[dawn mantle]

So, quick thoughts on Relentless giving solos constant regeneration? Asking here before I throw it in game ideas cause I want feedback

[devout dune]

Like the whole game? I play solo mainly and thats an awful idea

[little heart]

Lost my level 49 hunter because of the crash 💔

Damn

[devout dune]

At least they weren't 50

[dawn mantle]

hmm

[modern pebble]

can’t believe it guys

trueshot nerfs ?

[dawn mantle]

I think they need to reconnect to their fucking polygons what the fuck-

[crisp ivy]

We ready fr

Dont even need guns to win this match

[dawn mantle]

tbh

This makes me want to go in with only hands

[crisp ivy]

You should do it.

We only have perks and bandages

[dawn mantle]

And see if I can:

• Kill a player
• Retrieve a Bounty
• Extract
  All in 1 game

[crisp ivy]

If you have cain you may join us

[dawn mantle]

I do not have cain

[crisp ivy]

Unfortunate

[dawn mantle]

I am an old school reptillian main

[crisp ivy]

Hey thats fair though I respect it

And even then I'm only a main in spirit, I usually flip between multiple hunters

Currently in a Corvid: Brood streak

(Who does plague doctor better than plague doctor imo but the vets'd kill me if I voice that too much)

it helps that he looks like a zombie

how much damage do fists even do

er

I haven't played a game yet...

this just popped up after I bought a new hunter

Had no one bloody recorded how much damage fists do?

Do any perks assist with melee, apart from Berkerker

[woven cape]

nope

[dawn mantle]

Damn

It'd be cool for a trait that makes unarmed/duster attacks swing faster

Just punch a dummy in training and you'll know the dmg

Probably nothing as impressive as my impromptu Assassin's Creed cosplay

[dawn mantle]

Cause I wanna use my fists

[whole furnace]

Okay, well dusters are there

[dawn mantle]

and maybe dusters yeah

but I'm talking traits

[whole furnace]

Okay for a trait like that to matter it would be worth not bringing in a secondary gun/weapon.
Which in return means, either it never gonna be good or it is gonna be so good that it is better than any melee weapon in the game.

Because for it to be worth it in itself to take a trait spot the powerlevel already needs to be up there.

[dawn mantle]

It would apply to dusters

like ofc

and some of us bring dusters at least for immolators

[whole furnace]

okay, that would have the design challenge of "why ever pick a 1-slot melee weapon if Dusters just does it better?"

[mighty meadow]

im so annoyed that they state crates give 3 tools/consumables while they give 2

[dawn mantle]

cause a 1 slot melee weapon doesn't require the use of a trait to make it "good"

[mighty meadow]

second drops in a row they did the same thing

[whole furnace]

In general I am not that fond of traits that are just "makes x/y/z weapon better".

[whole furnace]

No but if can make a tool as good as melee weapon with a trait, that is just even less reason to bring a melee weapon.

[dawn mantle]

I mean

Spear exists

[whole furnace]

Tools are tools, they shouldn't substitute weapons.
Spear, while insanely good, still comes with limitations for using as a melee weapon.

[dawn mantle]

Kinda sad lightweight doesn't make solo players quieter overall now, but i get why it was nerfed

Wish me luck

[copper zodiac]

This prestige is doing amazing, got 106k in only 2 days

[delicate onyx]

I'm running around the map with a red barrel and a zombie with a torch hit me and lit me on fire. Apparently you just don't explode

[whole furnace]

no explosive can be detonated as long it is in your hand.

[delicate onyx]

I knew you couldn't shoot it. But I didn't know fire too. I also wasn't sure if putting out the fire would have an effect since the barrel kind just disappears. Y'know

[dawn mantle]

beating the shit out of scrapbeak with dusters rn

[delicate onyx]

Lmao. How's it going? Taking a while?

[dawn mantle]

got him in the end

I think everyone spawned the other side of the map and died to eachother

Might take a bat next time

If only cause Midian looks funny with it

[delicate onyx]

I love the bat. Works on everything and has a nice bonk noise

[dawn mantle]

I still remember when it came out

[stoic pendant]

Im here to spread LEAGUE OF LEGENDS love ik it’s still around

[dawn mantle]

Was getting chased with the bounty by a duo once

and I mean like they were on my ass

Near extract, I went through a bush, stopped, and turned around

clotheslined the fuck out of both of them with the bat

since then bat has been my favorite melee, second only to bomb lance

[delicate onyx]

😂😂 that's amazing. I tried to do something similar the other week but they didn't want to follow me into the bushes

[dawn mantle]

I think it's only because I had proven to be stupid elusive

And they were so close that they didn't want to stop to be cautious in case I kept going

I have made a blunder

I have entered a match with steam downloading a game

Bats are apparently very good at breaking doors

BRUH

IM PISSED

HOLY SHIT

Worst luck I've ever had in Hunt

[bright plover]

Uh, last time I had any interaction with Twitch drops was 3 years ago or something. Tell me, do I actually have to watch it or having it open in the background while doing whatever else is fine?

[dawn mantle]

I think it checks if it's muted (in the video player)

Otherwise i dont think it cares as long as the stream is running

so just mute the tab

[bright plover]

On another note, I'll never understand how do people watch streams. Like, if I'm on my PC, I'd rather play the games I own. And if I'm not and need to waste some time, I'd rather watch some edited videos on a specific topic, not just random gameplay.

[bright plover]

Thanks man.

[jaunty patio]

Keeping it open in the background is fine. You can mute the tab itself, and I think muting the stream works these days, perhaps it used to not.

[dawn mantle]

some of us don't like just highlight reels

I like seeing weapons used in real fights, win or lose, to have a better understanding of strengths or weaknesses

Basically, streams are more organic, theres wins and losses

[bright plover]

When I say "highly edited video on a specific topic" I mean something like this, not highlights of Hunt gameplay. No, it's not an ad, just the first example I could think of, since I finished watching it recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdAQPs5r-zs&t=4644s

[dawn mantle]

Imagine watching football and the one team always wins because any game they lose just doesn't count

ah

[bright plover]

Or like you know manlybadasshero?

Yeah let's just watch through 4 hours of "No, I'm not human".

[dawn mantle]

mah gawd

[bright plover]

sorry, 4:50, not 4 hours

[bright plover]

What vid is this? And I have so many adblocks I never watch ads basically.

[dawn mantle]

but then yeah, that's more of a "genre" difference then

[dawn mantle]

the one you linked

[bright plover]

Oh, these are just examples I could think of, I watch a variety of topics

my point is

[dawn mantle]

Some people like watching actual gameplay, some people like condensed lore vids and the like

[bright plover]

highly edited vid on a specific topic >>>>> random gameplay of a game I own and could experience first hand when I'm free to use my PC

[bright plover]

Don't get me wrong, I got halfway through this vid throughout 3 weeks. And I will finish it, in the span of another month I guess? Depends how busy I am.

[dawn mantle]

Also, sometimes we don't want to play it ourselves. We're too tired or otherwise wrapped up in something, so we watch, take notes and such

Think of it like Esports, but on a smaller level

No stakes, just get to watch someone at play, see their style and see what we can pick up

[bright plover]

Hm. Yeah that's fair. So to sum it up, you say people watch streams to watch better players play and try to copy their movements/mindset/decisionmaking/etc or when too tired to play themselves.

[dawn mantle]

yeah

I don't watch hunt streamers for example, hunt is one of those games I only want to play, not watch

But I've watched mitten squad, who played basically only the same 3 games for years

(with the odd game out)

[bright plover]

I remember this guy, didn't he die recently? He used to play weird Fallout NV challenges.

[dawn mantle]

Can also be a community thing, like Ivycomb where everyones just there to chill and hang out

[dawn mantle]

yeah, he died start of last year iirc.

end of the year before that

[bright plover]

And well my own tastes vary, to answer this. It's also history matters, TomatoAnus, WaifuRuns... You get the idea.

[dawn mantle]

To sum up, it's a matter of taste

One person likes tomato sauce, the other likes barbeque sauce

It's all sauce in the end, but people still have their preferences and ways they enjoy their hotdog

[bright plover]

That's such a nonanswer tho. I got what I wanted, to complain and hear some reasoning why Twitch is anyhow popular.

I understand your reasoning, even if it doesn't really apply to me.

Thanks.

[warm pawn]

yo, random question(s) - is Crossplay a thing (PS5 with PC)? and how bad/good is it for the console player against PC players, if it's a thing?

[dawn mantle]

Console and PC cannot play together

On Console, you do get matched with other console players, however you cannot invite other players on a different console into your squad, you can only match with them as a team at random

[warm pawn]

That's very strange, but thanks for the quick reply @dawn mantle

[dawn mantle]

Hunt comes from the age of sony being a bitch about crossplay

So it's not well set up for it

Honestly, I think I found my calling when it comes to guns

Vetterli Batonet

[left orbit]

yes!!!

[bright girder]

oh thats fair, yeah its way easier. u can also click the button in the bottom that just says C change hunter if that's easier too

[spark plaza]

amogus

[silk shoal]

So many hours in Hunt and I'm still amazed at my inability to see other hunters

[wheat pilot]

As a general purpose rifle, is the martini or sparks a better choice? I usually play with the martini due to the faster firerate but I'm begining to feel like, even with fast fingers, it's slow enough that under pressure I need to pull out my secondary anyways and the sparks has better damage.

[teal narwhal]

yes it has something to learn: don't ever use TPS for shooter games

[wheat pilot]

I love when I'm aiming at something trying to figure out if it's someones head or not and then I get my answer when the guy blasts me in the face

[delicate onyx]

Lmao I did that last month. Had the cross hairs right on his head like. "Wtf is that?" And then got blasted

[teal narwhal]

happened to me recently as well, I saw something black moving on top of a bush, near a brick wall section; from a distance I initially thought it was a crow but it was the reaper's head

[jaunty patio]

The Sparks is generally more popular but if you're accustomed to the Martini it's still a solid choice.

[short halo]

I dont ever use FF, but Martini has more ammo, the faster reload, and a riposte
Better general purpose imo

[bright plover]

I know I've hated Bounty Clash before a lot, and I still dislike it, running only free hunters after prestiging. But it's so extremely satisfying to go in with Romero + Nagant 1895, a duster and a medkit, and come out with a Auto 5 and bornheim, even if I didn't manage to win.

[delicate onyx]

I'm a sparks guy. But the Martini has a nice feel and if you use ironside, you're a little less likely not to have your gun stolen which is a nice plus

[delicate onyx]

That's a win in my book

[bright plover]

Might as well comment, but I'm a newbie (? 400 h, these last few weeks I spent 80 hours or so). I still prefer Martini, but my playstyle is something like this:

I shoot someone and reposition, while accepting the fact they will probably use their medkits and vitality shots, so whether they are left with 1 hp after a Sparks hit or 7 hp after a martini hit is irrelevant (unless I hit headshots, but a headshot from either kills). In this little war of attrition, faster firerate allows me to peek more often, applying pressure to the people healing or just hitting my second shot to finish them off.

Also, more ammo (17 bullets to 21), means I can go for riskier shots and wallbangs without much worry.

[compact sinew]

lmfao a 6star worried about his KD, gets killed once and then runs for the exit.

[whole furnace]

Biggest downside with the Henry is its 400m/s bullet speed.
Which makes it much harder to counterplay against other long ammo users.
I LOVE the Henry, but due its need to be much closer it is much worse nowadays in the current meta.

[open edge]

Then what is the martini good at, only because its cheap?

[raven totem]

I don't wanna say power creeped out but something close. it's a perkelss long rifles that hass good refill due to splitting, does very heavy damage, while not able to do meme stuff like follow up with choke bolt with sparks will likely one tap if missing any hp at all. it is very economic but certainly a lower tiered gun in this day and age.

also most old martini builds relied on fanning to stay up to snuff and fanning has takken a massive hit since 1896

[whole furnace]

It is a solid CQC rifle, run riposte and split for spicy bullets you tag burn someone and stab them.
But we currently have meta where shotguns (and bow) have it good, so it is a much riskier strat to run.

[raven totem]

it also didn't benefit from Fast fingers to well so it didn't end up scaling well with that like other guns that fit in that catagory

[bright plover]

I'm probably not the first one to say that in a game like Hunt, where the objective isn't really to kill the enemy, but to extract with a bounty, KDA is a worthless statistic, simply not representative because as you've witnessed, people camp, run for the exit and boost their KDA without actually playing the game.

[stable mango]

anyone using small ammo winfield variants ? if so why ?

[raven totem]

king of levering, cheap, can be ran comfortably perkless, very very stable shooters with decent rof

[bright plover]

Yeah, it's not a long range rifle, more so midrange to me. Especially that I mostly use Berthier lately, so I'm used to 590 m/s. Thankfully I don't feel like there's any terribly bad weapon in this game (?) and I play whatever I'm in a mood for.

[stable mango]

@raven totem why run them over cent/vetterli price ?

[raven totem]

when mcree says long he means ammo type, which has implications

[bright plover]

I still think balancing the weapons with prices in mind was a mistake.

[raven totem]

vetterli is hyper reliant on iron eye, and if levering compact winfeilds are just superior

[raven totem]

that alternative is a rabbit hole that would gut the game and I don't want to spend an hour on that one

[whole furnace]

As Glide said, long ammo is a ammo type, one that tends to engage well with longer distances due to its damage retention and bullet speed.
The Henry is lacking in speed.

[raven totem]

also guns aren't balanced power wise by price, but how often people will run into them

[bright plover]

If you do have it written somewhere and would like to copy paste that, I'd be glad. I'm curious, seriously, because as of now with how easy Hunt dollars are to come by (unless you perma run Bounty Clash I guess), I really don't see a reason to use low tier stuff unless you actively want to.

[whole furnace]

Like any other stat in the game, price is a fine balance point if its not the only factor for the balance.
We wouldn't make a 300 damage, 600m/s rifle but say "but its downside is that it have a 15 second reload".
Same with price for a gun, it is there to put things in line thru a multitude of upsides and downsides :)

[raven totem]

and econ is important in hunt, people play with number go up in mind, trying to strip that out would gut a significant part of the game. before bla bla mosin there are plenty of other guns that do in fact swing with long in their respective spaces.

Vetterli is a really good example right now with it's fire rate

[worn oak]

The reviews for the newest DLC are amazing.

[stable mango]

Would love for crytech to share numbers on gun usage.

[raven totem]

they sometimes share numbers

mosin isn't as used as much as people claim unless you're in a super sweat ass match though typically

[stable mango]

Id say from ''feel'' long ammo rifles and shotguns dominate my games. but i wounder if it is realy true.

[jaunty patio]

That'd be interesting to see, they did it like 6 years ago when showcasing the most popular loadouts, and most recently the most popular weapons to take into Bounty Clash (they were all free weapons lmao)

[raven totem]

Rai is a numbers master

[raven totem]

under that umprella I would agree, with varients of other things sprinkled in

it also doesn't help data that mmr is a bit broader than pre1896

but is what it is

[whole furnace]

Feel like most of the variety is people doing challenges tho lol

[raven totem]

could be that, there also a sect of people that try to play non meta, I like veriety games, and with matches typically less sweatier than they used to be it's easier to play that way, depending who I'm with

[bright plover]

I mean, maybe I'm biased in that regard since I just keep prestiging over and over, but despite starting at 8k dollars, I usually prestige while having 15-20k, and that's while playing whatever I feel like playing. The only gun off the top of my head I don't play at all is Dolch, the rest I play when I feel like it. Actually I've not played LeMat in a while, gotta do it soon.

[raven totem]

so do we get 4 crates every sections of drops or are their crates everyday?

[cursive knot]

Alright fellas wish me luck, finally bought hunt after my pops has been bugging me to get it for about a year 🫡

No idea what im getting myself into but hoping for the best

[whole furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-the-misery-oh-the-misery-everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-gif-25368312

naw ya' be good

Have fun

[raven totem]

you are biased in that sense, I'm sitting at p100 and everyone else I know that plays trys to increase bank or item total. typically the only people that just grab a msoin every round in ane are people I already know that do, everyone else in my experience plays for, number go up in some sense

[bright plover]

Hm. Honestly, kind of understandable. To not go on a massive tangent, I'll just say that I've played games where as soon as I get all the achievements, challenges etc etc, I don't feel like there's a reason to keep going. In Hunt, I've got the prestige system and as of now I'm trying to get all the basic legendary hunters to Veteran. but when I'm done with both, and I get all the achievements (only the quickplay one remaining), I'm not sure what would keep me playing.

I can't just play for the sake of playing like I did as a kid, now it has to have some kind of an endgoal.

[stable mango]

dread the day i reach prestige 100. im 12 now, so some time to go.

[random nimbus]

To be fair, number go up is really the only progression you have to work for, I feel.

I know hunt isn't a game that's really centered around its progression as much as others might be, but it does make it get a bit stale not having much to grind towards.

Trials was their attempt to give some variety to that, I feel, but it kinda flopped and wasn't very enjoyable.

[bright plover]

Yup. I'm like, prestige 13? 15? Idk by now, as I said, I keep prestiging whenever an opportunity presents itself.

[whole furnace]

To be even more fair, there are rare few pvp focused games that have forever progression

[bright plover]

My only idea is the gunplay is great, I just can't think of another game with guns from ~1895, making it very unique. But idk, I'd expect myself to sink another half a year into this game then just move on to a different game.

[random nimbus]

True, and it's impossible to make a game with forever content that isn't just number go up.

[bright plover]

If there's no endgoal, that wouldn't really be progression, no? I mean, if the top of the mountain is unreachable, why even bother trying to reach it?

[wheat pilot]

I run them as additional ammo for my bornheim match when I wanna spam

[bright plover]

Maybe it sounds bizarre but if there was truly no point where I got all there ever was to get, I doubt I'd like it either.

[random nimbus]

Sometimes just to see how high you can climb

[whole furnace]

Mastery of the systems and fun of play.

[bright plover]

I've lost count how many games I played just because of achievements and didn't even finish my last playthrough because I got them all during the last run.

[bright plover]

Fair, but I can't think of a system like that which would captivate me. Can you think of any examples?

[random nimbus]

I think that will largely depend on the game.

Leaderboards were an example hunt had to climb, in a sense

But it was full of obvious cheaters

[bright plover]

I mean the longest I was stuck on a single game was like 1,5 year? I guess? Other than that, I keep playing a game for months, eventually achieve all I wanted or got bored, and move on to a different one.

[random nimbus]

For PvP games, I feel it's the ranked system that people grind for that keeps the more dedicated ones playing.

[random nimbus]

Classic burnout, which is honestly probably a good thing. You did what you wanted and moved on until something new comes up.

[bright plover]

My point is, I cannot comprehend how can someone sink 10k hours into TF2 for example. It's a nice game, don't get me wrong, but over 13 years I've played it for a couple dozen hours every few years and moved on.

[whole furnace]

There is a lot to master

[random nimbus]

Some of it could also be sunk cost

That's how I feel with guild wars 2 at times. I've played so much that it's hard to just walk away from it

I take a break, try out new stuff, take another break. Rinse repeat since 2015

Also, a community can bring people back or keep them playing.

If not for the game then just for the friends

[bright plover]

I do have a problem of instead of trying new games in a given genre, I just go back to the ones I already know well and enjoyed. Simple example from recent times, whenever I feel like playing horde shooters, I just go back to Serious Sam 3 over and over (I've completed it more than 6 times by now?) instead of buying Serious Sam 4, or playing Doom 2016 I've owned since 2020, or whaever else.

Like it's basically a habit by now to complete Serious Sam 3 every 2 years.

Or Darkest Dungeon, although I can't remember the last time I completed it, I usually drop the run halfway through.

Anyway, I feel like I diverged quite far from the topic at hand.

[random nimbus]

I used to be pretty bad about that; comparing something new to something old that I like and convincing myself the latter is better without properly enjoying the new stuff.

[bright plover]

I gotta play the shitty compact ammo winchesters for once.

[random nimbus]

Winnies are great

[bright plover]

I do play them from time to time, but always as a chore, I'd rather have a shotgun if I'm fighting closerange.

Or, if I really want to use Levering and have something for medium/long range, play Mako

I like Mako. It might be suboptimal, but I enjoy it.

[random nimbus]

If it works for you, then it works

[bright plover]

Hardly ever using Centi or Vetterli either.

[random nimbus]

Some guns click better than others and how meta they are doesn't matter.

[bright plover]

Nah, but like, sitting in this bubble is a little counterproductive. Gotta try new stuff.

[random nimbus]

It can be, but trying to make something work that isn't can be counterproductive too

[bright plover]

I gotta find the niche it fulfills

[random nimbus]

As long as it doesn't make the game unfun

[bright plover]

because as I said before, my playstyle is down to two things, rushdown with Shotgun + Pax or bushwanking with long ammo + officer.

There has to be more to discover

[random nimbus]

I've given up on trying to make niches for stuff because of how much bloat the game has now

[bright plover]

For both compact and medium ammo guns

Tbh Officer Carabine was pretty nice

[wheat pilot]

take one and then some fast firing compact ammo secondary and an ammo box. Being able to just absolutely overwhelm your enemy with bullets without worrying about ammo at all is fun, especially if you play long ammo usually and have to conserver your shots.

[bright plover]

Of course it kinda needs headshots, but the fire rate is great on close/medium range.

[random nimbus]

I personally prefer a sparks pistol when running a Winnie

It gives you high damage options against revives

[bright plover]

Too much sway to hit stuff, I find Pax Trueshot preferable.

[random nimbus]

I only use it for wallbangs and revives.

I have plenty of spam, just need some punch

[bright plover]

I'm thinking of running post-Quickplay/Bounty Clash hunters with Levering and fire ammo and do exactly that, to apply so much pressure the enemy panics and dies.

[left orbit]

i’m starting to think that there should be only trio vs trio and duo vs duo and that’s it in this game. as soon as there is a duo in trio it’s all a waiting game, nobody pushes anything, they use charriot but still don’t do anything at all… pffffff

[bright plover]

Because I can't really think of anoother use.

[whole furnace]

I've seen friends and I getting hate comments after fighting and killing duo teams.
Usually "omg a trio too scared to fight a duo, cowards".
But like brother you were hiding inside the bounty lair, we didn't knew you were a duo!

[left orbit]

yeah that too. some people are ridiculous.

and i’m barely okay with solos anymore because it creates the same situations if you have more than 2 solos around.

3500+ hours in this game… seeing things differently…

[foggy coral]

servers again dead?

[whole furnace]

It for sure changes a lot of game flow.

[tall canopy]

if the servers are dead, more players would ask here

[foggy coral]

it was like 2-3 hour ago

[delicate onyx]

Since trying to lower my MMR I've gotten a lot of stupid accidental kills. Smacking them to death with a red barrel. A chaos bolt. A random thrown pitchfork. Dusters i only used light melee with... And not a single hammer throw no matter how hard I try

The hammer throw is allergic to hunter bodies

[left orbit]

but if nobody asks, then you wouldn’t know :clevergif:

[vocal zealot]

Or you're like me and don't like talking to people

I killed chat

[tall canopy]

applecat did

[vocal zealot]

B..but applecat

[ocean briar]

are servers down?

[tall canopy]

well

reconnect

[ocean briar]

believe it or not, tried that

[tall canopy]

it may take a few tries

[ocean briar]

for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds based on that timer

it just gave up and told me I couldnt reconnect and booted me back to lobby

[tall canopy]

reconnect is a hit or miss it seems

[ocean briar]

never seen that before, didnt even load into the mission, it was loading and loading and then told me the match had started already and asked if I wanted to reconnect

it refunded my hunter interestingly

[compact sinew]

servers are trashed at the moment, hit reg, rubber banding. high ping cheaters

[tall canopy]

high ping is not an advantage

[compact sinew]

in this game, fuck it aint

[random nimbus]

It's not an advantage

Being killed after I go into cover because of high ping isn't helpful

[tall canopy]

well then u would´ve died when u didnt reach the corner

[random nimbus]

I did on my end

[tall canopy]

not for the server

[lofty parrot]

Well I think dats the problem there 😄

[tall canopy]

anyways i wont discuss this further it never leads to anything

[random nimbus]

I was agreeing with you that high ping is not an advantage lol

[tall canopy]

all good but i dont want to start a discussion overall

[lofty parrot]

U guys have any compounds u absolutely hate?

[tall canopy]

madonna

[open edge]

To attack or defend

[tall canopy]

avoiding it at all costs

[lofty parrot]

Both

[lofty parrot]

Understanable
For me its pitching

[tall canopy]

concept art pitching or madonna looked nice

https://silva.artstation.com/projects/galJx

there

guess thats maybe what pitching was during first concepts

[left orbit]

wuw

i want that

[tall canopy]

yeah. blow up pitching and do this

[left orbit]

would be cool if coumpounds had variations on the same maps

like, keep layout, elevation and all, but swap half compounds for variations

on daily basis rotation or just random every match

[tall canopy]

i mean they could use old things they changed and make them random. like window placements, new or old ladder placements etc

[left orbit]

just turn whole compounds 180 degrees around or mirror them 😂

[tall canopy]

mirrored maps when

[wheat elm]

Terrible idea

[left orbit]

doesn’t sound bad to me

if we go with this kind of args

[cobalt tundra]

servers are down because AWS had issues yesterday and today

[lofty parrot]

Looks kinda better

[tall canopy]

again today?

[whole furnace]

Been suggesting that for years lol

[tall canopy]

suggest it even more

[whole furnace]

Gonna be real here, we not gonna get that, too much work when people would bitch and moan about getting that over a new map

[tall canopy]

rn i´d rather have a system like that instead of a new map

or different map types instead of S Q U A R E

[whole furnace]

Naw square is good due to the randomnesss of boss lairs

[mild flower]

procedurally generated maps please

[whole furnace]

there need too be someone amount of "equal distance"

[mild flower]

circle would work too

and triangle maybe?

hexagon?

[whole furnace]

I mean that is more less what we have as we rarely uses the corners

[tall canopy]

yeah also understand that, but how abouit maps that dont really follow the compound system but a new one

[mild flower]

corner spawns lead to a lot of spawn fights

and corner bosses happen decently commonly

[whole furnace]

Would be kinda hard with the current core gameplay structure

[tall canopy]

i understand that needs a lot of work, but it would be some fresh touch

[mild flower]

<@&357256267087085568> down with the scammer

destroy them

[whole furnace]

Eeeeh, look at bounty clash, it have its users but didn't pull in a whole new secondary community.
Simply put, don't think it is healthy to design new modes

[frigid ibex]

Amogus

[compact sinew]

bounty clash needs to go

[lofty parrot]

FYI this is not the boss compound 😄
Solo killed the Boss in the next compound and got out with 1 Bounty
Seemed like the whole lobby just fought it out here with me as last survivor

It took me 3 runs to collect and spend all the event points form the hunters
On my 3rd run someone took the 2nd bounty and left
1 Person rly just spent nearly 20 minutes waiting for nothing while I was 3 times on the other end of the map xD

Campers dont seem to have any value in time 😄

I was rly laughing when I saw the pick up xD

[tall canopy]

not a new gamemode, but a new take on maps. maybe not 16 compounds but bigger ones or smth

[mild flower]

dizz dongus [says amogus]

[lofty parrot]

Yes pls 😄

[whole furnace]

Eeeh think that is also very limited due too the fact it needs to support 6 teams

Think map enviorment is the most Crytek can wiggle with

[tall canopy]

if its still 1km² but a different map layout than 16 compounds why not

[frigid ibex]

I love not reading the past convos and chipping in
Anyway yeah it feels like if anything it split up the current community.

[wheat elm]

its just not a good idea. Adding randomness to compounds would only lead to frustration, getting killed from an angle you had no idea existed because it's a random variation is more annoying than anything else.

[whole furnace]

because again it is about spawn locations and randomness of bosslair spawns.
Less compounds means that there are bigger odds for spawn fights and bigger odds for teams spawning at the bosslair at the beginning of a match.

[mild flower]

didnt mccree specify it's just visual variants

[tall canopy]

less compounds dont need to mean less boss spawns. as i said it needs way more brainpower than just saying new map layout plees 😄

[wheat elm]

if its just visual then yeah thats fine although it seems like too much work

[frigid ibex]

Hunt maps are probably the only solid ones in pvp games I've played. 3k hours spent into the same maps and still having fun

[wise plume]

is there a charm reward only? in tw drops

[whole furnace]

Eh, the way I've suggested it, it would be A-side/B-side variants, so overhauls with clear indicators.
So healing water church might have gotten its tower burned down, which affects the lay out.
Ofc it would be different layouts, but designed in a way when you approach the compound it is quite clear what you walking into.
Tower is there, A variant, Tower not there, B variant.

[tall canopy]

20-22 yes, then new skin

[wise plume]

W

[frigid ibex]

We kinda had B variants of maps when inferno was around

[tall canopy]

[frigid ibex]

Doubt it's outside their reach to make stuff like that

[lofty parrot]

Fun yes but most compounds are not balanced for any range

[frigid ibex]

Elaborate

[mild flower]

am i the only one who never sees anyone use dragons breath ever

[wise plume]

ty

[whole furnace]

Except it only affected the surrounding areas and not compounds, but yes :)
But yeah, it could be "Healing Water tower is collapsed" or "Darin Shipyard's ship have fallen down" creating new entry points and sight lines, but not a case of you running around a corner and the door you always thought was there is now gone.

[untold stag]

is hunt worth buying?

[whole furnace]

Yes

[untold stag]

prove me so

[whole furnace]

And I have what some consider low hours in Hunt

[wheat pilot]

anyone who considers over 2k hours "low" in any game spends way too much time online

[untold stag]

maybe you're just addicted and not really enjoy the game but keep playing, I need actual proof the game is good

[wheat pilot]

what do you expect people to tell you lol. Watch some youtube videos and buy if it seems interesting. You always have 2 hours to refund on steam

[rapid dew]

play it and find out for yourself, it's subjective

[untold stag]

and still havent got all achievements, embarassing

[whole furnace]

I'm 33, I've been playing many games for many years, Hunt is the only game that I've put that many hours into

[lofty parrot]

Pitching for example
It´s lies above most of the outer terrain - meaning its higher
North u have the open Swamp, from souzh u cant rly look into the compound and east and west u have the forest with some bushed but the ruins inside the compound nearly covers all inside
While most of the "actual" compound is a full cqc under the earth

This whole compound is just only good for close range cqc fights. Even Midrange is not rly good there and its absolutely terrible for any long range

U dont have any good angles without exposing urself HARD and u have no higher points form where u can look into it

[untold stag]

isnt this like arc raiders but worse

[rapid dew]

arc raiders isn't even out yet

[tall canopy]

DAMN

[whole furnace]

Arc Raiders is Arc Raiders.
Don't try compare oranges to apples

[whole furnace]

Wha?

[tall canopy]

nothing dont worry

[untold stag]

already played and it's good

[whole furnace]

[tall canopy]

try hunt via steam, you have 2h until you cant refund anymore or play it via the gamepass

[rapid dew]

then play that instead of hunt if you think it's better

[tall canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/kiritwt-gif-23073153

[wheat pilot]

I haven't played arc raiders but doesn't it heavily lean into looting? Hunt has almost no looting, or at least it's not a big part of the average match.

[leaden thistle]

Twitch drop coming in clutch.

[rapid dew]

also vastly different setting and FPS vs 3PS. and longer ttk

[leaden thistle]

What charms did yall get?

[tall canopy]

thats pokeball in the middkle

dont tell nintendo

[fading burrow]

No idea, would need to launch Hunt first

[leaden thistle]

That was my first thought too!

[wheat pilot]

hera's gift

[leaden thistle]

Ooooo NICE!

[leaden thistle]

Hopefully something cool!

[compact sinew]

I got Hera's Gift

[leaden thistle]

Ngl that one is pretty flippin' sweet.

[dense girder]

Is that you??

[fading burrow]

Nothing popped up first time I launched, so closed and re-launched into this

[mortal basin]

Is what me?

[dense girder]

Those hours

[mortal basin]

Oh

[dense girder]

Got to be some streamer

[mortal basin]

I don't actually know tbh. Someone posted it in here lol

[mild flower]

Hey I'm a little late but here's a YouTube review that I thought described hunt pretty well. It is a bit biased towards highlighting the best aspects of the game, and the title is exaggerated. But that's what YouTube requires to push videos lol
It's a long review but if you want lots of info written on the game that should be expected

https://youtu.be/lnCbPD6KepI?si=mvzNif4335b1vloz

I don't know how to disable embeds on mobile. Sorry if this takes too much space in chat, I would leave it as just a link if I could.

Ok I found a way to remove the embed <3

[tall canopy]

guy already left the server

[fading burrow]

Proud Benefactor owner.
90% of the rest of skins is irrelevant to me.

[mild flower]

Ah.

Good video though

[mild flower]

Man I had a visceral reaction when I saw "arc raiders but worse"

[tall canopy]

i mean hunt is arc raiders with zombies

[mild flower]

People comparing incomparable things to determine that one is better than the other may be a pet peeve for me

Particularly when I disagree with them lol

[mild flower]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-disappointed-angry-upset-jealous-gif-7519032437813794118

[scenic plinth]

didnt need that guy anyways, arc raiders is just tarkov but 3rd person

[tall canopy]

i mean yes, but u can always compare parts of games. just like how u can compare cod with battlefield even tho they´re different

[mild flower]

Yes of course

[unique trail]

Are we on pace to kill all the spiders

[tall canopy]

we know more in 1h 40mins
