[lavish bear]

yo bro

you've been pinging me

for like 2 hours

can you like

leave me alone

[whole mist]

750ti gang wya

[lavish bear]

550 for me!

[tulip shuttle]

Ok bro then stop speaking to me pls

[lavish bear]

cool

[whole mist]

[tulip shuttle]

I7-13620

[lavish bear]

🥶

[short plume]

What's your VRAM ??

[tulip shuttle]

Errrr kemme see

[whole mist]

What fps are you getting with a 4050 laptop gpu?

[tulip shuttle]

I think 8

[tulip shuttle]

80

[whole mist]

[tulip shuttle]

Wait

My bad 60

[whole mist]

Unplayable for me

[lavish bear]

60 is unplayable bro how

[tulip shuttle]

Hold up I think it’s locked at 60

[short plume]

a 4050 with 8GB VRAM AND YOU'RE TRAHING ON PEOPLES SETSUPS?????

[whole mist]

60?!? Even worse for me 😭

[lavish bear]

60 is like hell bro

[tulip shuttle]

Nah it’s around 80

[whole mist]

Gotta be using dlss

No way

Tho tbh laptop screen resolutions are lower usually

[short plume]

That is true

[lavish bear]

[tulip shuttle]

Still though I’m upgrading very soon

To a full setup

[whole mist]

I refuse to use upscaling in games if I can. Hate blurry

[lavish bear]

you cant see anything its so blurry

[whole mist]

fr

[tulip shuttle]

Can’t see much anyway

[lavish bear]

js turn up gamma

[whole mist]

1440p with only 1tx anti aliasing I can see stuff now

[lavish bear]

1440 is good

but it drops fps

i ran it before

but switched

[whole mist]

I’m around 100-120 with my settings

[lavish bear]

w

[short plume]

Not bad

I don't mind FSR tbh, I use it to get more FPS myself

[lavish bear]

hunt is so smooth on high fps

[whole mist]

I used to use FSR on native AA mode. Super clear but my fps was around 80-90. That’s too low for me

[tulip shuttle]

What monitor y using

[formal saddle]

What amount would you guys say is a good amount of hunt dollars to keep saved at all times? Trying to figure out a nice amount before a splurge on loadouts repeatedly

[smoky flint]

playing a hunt match and crytek servers froze for a whole 30 seconds for me and when i came back i died to a team pushing my compound

[tulip shuttle]

Htz wise

[smoky flint]

[whole mist]

180

[smoky flint]

about 20k imo

[tulip shuttle]

Nice

[wicked fox]

I play in Ultra with no HUD

[lavish bear]

im js trynna keep going up but prob 20-40k

[formal saddle]

Fair. Just 5k more to grind

[lavish bear]

js playing in a movie✌️

looks cool tho

[formal saddle]

Beutiful. Your GPU must be ready to fucking explode

[smoky flint]

yo he got the authentic hunt experience

[formal saddle]

Also that weapon skin... my my...

[tulip shuttle]

Try low graphics for higher frame rate

[hollow seal]

I am getting locked 60 with a 1050Ti on low, but I just bought a 1650 so maybe will be able to do better with that

Pretty surprising tho. I used to have a 1650 laptop but it always thermal throttled

[lavish bear]

w cold

[whole mist]

Ancient tech

[tulip shuttle]

What cpu

[hollow seal]

I7-4790

[tulip shuttle]

Still good tho

[short plume]

Honestly anything over 10k is good

[pine condor]

damn what are your settings for that?

[lavish bear]

depends on what loadouts you run too

[hollow seal]

The only game I am CPU bound in for 60fps is BF6 or 2042, maybe PoE but I've not tried yet

[short plume]

Especially if you plan to prestige. Money doesn't matter

[lavish bear]

prestige acc so useless😭

[tulip shuttle]

I mean it’s not

You get free skins

[short plume]

I've not done it since like April

[tulip shuttle]

And random skins too

[lavish bear]

all bad skins too

[wicked fox]

Ultra with no HUD

[tulip shuttle]

bro

[lavish bear]

bone vene best skin

[short plume]

Prestige I mean

[tulip shuttle]

You get a dice roll

Of random skins

It could be anything

And it’s

F R E E

[lavish bear]

but im not trynna regrind my money

cant run mosin

[short plume]

Yes but also when I do extract I usually get 2-4k so a couple good runs will have me in the positives usually

[tulip shuttle]

if u ever have to use free hunters it’s a skill issue

I always purchase my hunters and give them good load outs and never dip below 3k

[lavish bear]

ur idea of a good loadout is a silenced maynard

[tulip shuttle]

Learn to run budget loadouts

Loool

[lavish bear]

why would i run budget when i can afford mosin uppercut

[tulip shuttle]

Ahh yes the ultimate meta loadout right here

[lavish bear]

js nerfing myself😭

[short plume]

Bro I have like 30k Hunt dollars and still run free hunters in Clash or in Bounty Hunt just to muck around lol

[tulip shuttle]

Ur nerfd st graphics level anyway

Just say u can’t use budget loadouts bruh

[lavish bear]

free hunter in clash is the only thing to do

[lavish bear]

why would i😭

i would literally be nerfing my myself with a bad gun

[grim crest]

I don`t think that silenced maynard enjoyer should have opinion

[hollow seal]

Can be more fun sometimes

[tulip shuttle]

As u just seen by my SS

I’m using Lemat

And currently I’m going into a game with a bow and sparks pistol

[lavish bear]

yeah obv u run budget

[tulip shuttle]

But ok bruv

[lavish bear]

you got 7k

[tulip shuttle]

Because I just prestiged

Ur not even p1 and have a 0.5 KD

[lavish bear]

ur 3 star btw

how do you obtain a 1.09 kd when u only snipe⁉️

[short plume]

Prestige doesn't matter.....

I know plenty of people, who have never prestiged and are doing just fine lmao

[lavish bear]

there isnt much point

[lavish bear]

i prob will once i get tired of running meta constantly

and got nothing else to do

[short plume]

I stopped at 11 and I've put in like 600 hours since then. It just doesn't make sense for me personally

[tulip shuttle]

Bro has embarrassing stats and doesn’t want to post em lol

[lavish bear]

3 star btw

[tulip shuttle]

It’s personal preference but there is a point to it

Hollo angry cos he got the TEMU integrated ram and graphics card combo and doesn’t want to lose his precious dollars

[lavish bear]

or theres js no point in losing all my money?

[tulip shuttle]

LOOOOL

[lavish bear]

when i can i have fun with meta

[tulip shuttle]

I don’t believe u have fun with ur 2 pixels on screen

[lavish bear]

3 star talking like this btw😭

[tulip shuttle]

Mosin nagant looking like u holding a brick

[short plume]

Bro you've killed less than 100 bosses chill

[lavish bear]

better then maynard btw

[tulip shuttle]

Because I kill the people that take the boss 😂

[lavish bear]

dude

[tulip shuttle]

Ok buddy cope harder

[lavish bear]

by 90 hours you should be atleast 5 star

[tulip shuttle]

Bro got 0.5 KD

[fathom shale]

Can you two move on

[tulip shuttle]

Total bounty of 10K saying he needs to hoard his money

My bad

I stop

[short plume]

Fun while it lasted lol

[tulip shuttle]

No need to anger the mod and plus it’s silly anyway

Arguing over a game

[grim crest]

For me i want 100\100. Itve been 1070 hours and i am at 71

[tulip shuttle]

Do u often get ur hunters to lvl50

[grim crest]

Every prestige

Sometimes few huters per prestige

My personall record is from 0 to lvl 100 in 3,5 hours, which was 5 games in total with only one death (with death cheat). All games on one hunter

[grim crest]

So far 71\46, i think i can make it to 100\100 next event (if it`s gonna be 3 month again)

[short plume]

Good luck on your quest Hunter!! That's a task

[grim crest]

Oh well, not much left. I played today for almost 11 hours and got close to 180 levels out of it.

[whole furnace]

I am currently P99BL51

[short plume]

11 hours?? God 😭

I wish I had that kind of free time

[grim crest]

Did you played a match like a half hour ago on US west server?

[grim crest]

Unfortunately my shift will start on wednesday so i won`t be able to play at all

[short plume]

Fair enough

[shy mauve]

Ya that darksight card is just giving free shit to players that didn't earn it. You should only get wallhacks when you kill the bounty

[short plume]

I wouldn't call them wall hacks lol. They are pretty limited and not super accurate. Especially at a distance and even more so if they are moving. It gives you 2 seconds and gives away your position on the map. I don't see the issue

[whole mist]

It's not that strong

giving away your position on the map, especially at the start of the match isn't good

[ancient whale]

Yeah I was hesitant at first during the first announcement of the devs saying they were gonna allow darksight to be used without the bounty, but overall yeah it's not that bad

[whole mist]

it's not even a true darksight, as you can't get the orange borders when someone is near, like with the bounty

[ancient whale]

And especially with what the other guy said, it isn't that completely accurate of your location compared to Pain Sense.

[whole mist]

pain sense underrated

never see anyone use it

[ancient whale]

I would use it if they hadn't given it to both bleed and burn.

And increased it to 3 points

Before I was always using it because it was cheap and it gave poison a needed buff

[whole mist]

normally i find there's not enough space left for pain sense. More useful traits to take imo. But if i want to go for wall bang kills, ill take it with sparks poison + fmj uppercut

i guess it can be good if you're fighting in heavy forest/bushes, but leaving ads to see where a guy is can get u killed. Idk....i think the trait is in a good spot rn

[solar cove]

So still no berthi skin?

[formal saddle]

Man these servers are ass. I get killed through a window that Im not even peaking anymore (And no it wasnt a wallbang)

I peak, fire off a shot at the guy, run back into cover and 2 seconds later, bam dead, I didnt have high ping or anything

[whole furnace]

You opponent had high ping that is why.
But don't misunderstand, in every way, you were dead, even if they had low ping, you just got the "update" a little later :)

[formal saddle]

I love dying unfairly because someones internet provider is marginally worse than mine. (Though with spectrum thats a hard challenge)

[whole furnace]

Again it is not "unfairly", you are not understanding how data transfer works if you think so.

They shot you in the head on their screen when you peeked.

You just got the update a little later

Does it feel bad, sure, bc it feels wonky.
But it ain't a death you would have prevented if they had low ping.

You would have been dead just the same.

[formal saddle]

Im behind a wall getting late headshotted by a fucking bow and arrow 2 seconds after I had already moved from the window

[whole furnace]

On you screen

But you were already dead "2 seconds ago"

[leaden herald]

In another universe the guy klicked on your head and came to complain that the servers suck and you didn't die

[formal saddle]

Blow me buddy.

[leaden herald]

No thanks

[whole furnace]

What a normal and acceptable behavior we are having here in the early morning of Hunt gen

lmao

[patent tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/lindsey-stirling-popcorn-popcorn-eating-eating-popcorn-eating-gif-26402245

[zinc charm]

hey im still farely new to hunt and im wondering what it means when people ask for certain stars

[leaden herald]

Oh it's your ranking

After a match you can check what you've done and next to your name you'll see 1 to 6 stars and it influences how "good" players you'll meet ingame

[zinc charm]

oh ok thanks for that

[queen shore]

more stars more sweat

[leaden herald]

More stars more sweat but remember to not pay too much mind to it

[zinc charm]

thanks im looking for people to play so i was confused on that

[true briar]

Could they renew the codes of yesterday? I was asleep

[queen shore]

they expire in 7 hours so it should still work

[true briar]

they EXPIRED 7 hours ago

😭

[queen shore]

ah sorry my bad

well u wont get it then

all codes are expired by now

[true briar]

Fuck my stupid chud life

[queen shore]

im pretty sure the skins will come to store in future but yeah u will have to buy them

[deft cipher]

Wow great, thanks Crytek.

[true parrot]

What a dumb move making the codes available 24hours

that is some serious Bullshit.

[deft cipher]

Posting this in the evening and giving us exactly 3 hours to redeem.

[short plume]

If you want to have fun. Ideally you'll want to be a 3 Star. If you want to hate your life and sweat your balls off all the time. 6 is for you 😂😭

[west totem]

where we can claim redeem codes for plowshare and pitchforks event?

[smoky flint]

lost 3v1 because my team and i got overconfident and pushed 😔

[smoky flint]

^^^^

[tacit mango]

Entered the match with 15 rounds, left with 15 kills.

All is clear through the brass of My scope

:3

[hazy crest]

How do you enter with 10 rounds

[rapid pasture]

How many hits with the sledge hammer kills a brute without berserker? Anyone know?

[tacit mango]

15*

15 rounds and 10 kills sorry.

I was using a Mosin-Nagant Sniper.

[harsh raptor]

they were active for more than a week

[tacit mango]

First 4 were expelled on NPCs

5th was a missed shot

Next 10 all hit their intended targets, killing them.

Spitzer rounds.

[harsh raptor]

isnt spitzer only 13 rounds?

[deft cipher]

Ah cool, would have been nice if they were actually posted before then.

[tacit mango]

I had an ammo crate on Me so it’s possible I missed more then 1 shot

[harsh raptor]

they were

[tacit mango]

I know I had to use to but I’m unsure if it was for My pistol or My sniper.

[harsh raptor]

#general-announcements message

[deft cipher]

where

[deft cipher]

If that is related to me, there are no codes there.

[harsh raptor]

i just sent the link

"claim them on our website"

exactly the same way as you could claim the other ones

[deft cipher]

It either doesn't show me the right thing or you linked the wrong one.

[hazy crest]

Don’t know exactly but from what I can remember 10-12 hits. You have to tank bear melees about 2 times from full health

[coarse reef]

So has crytek said anything about the state of the servers yet. Looks like the issues are spreading out to most servers at this point.

one in three servers are much worse than the rest match to match

[harsh raptor]

when did the server issues start? i played last night and it was fine for me

on eu server

[coarse reef]

US East has been bad for a few months, US West recently has been bad the past weekish

US west is degrading because everyone from East is now on West

[harsh raptor]

damn

[coarse reef]

its rng on whether you just need to extract at the start of a match and queue again because of the rubberbanding

just to potentially be put in another bad server. Some of them are fine.

I ended up tanking one of the servers because I had shadow and collected 4 dog packs and they kept trying to agro but the server couldnt keep up.

You can tell when you are the only team left in a server as well, because the server seems to get put into low priority mode

and gets stuttery and more laggy

[deft cipher]

Omg you had to click that???

Hide it more please!

[whole mist]

Also just right in your face here

[deft cipher]

Thanks average discord user for making my point.

(not like that was my intial message about but k)

[harsh raptor]

oh no i have to read and comprehend 2 sentences

[deft cipher]

ain't nobody got time for that

I don't live on discord.

[whole mist]

Codes are expired anyways

[leaden herald]

very expired

[harsh raptor]

ah yes you have to be chronically online to be able to read

how could i forget

[deft cipher]

Thanks captain obvious. Also not at all what my initial message was about.

[whole mist]

Just set your notifications up for those channels 🗿

[deft cipher]

The bad part is that I have that. Still missed it.

[deft cipher]

Should be done like that.

[harsh raptor]

they ping the server every time you dont even have to set it up

[whole mist]

Were you not having trouble finding the codes? like….

[deft cipher]

Should mark it as sarcasm, that one is one me.

[whole mist]

you can customize per server though. Some people have different notification preferences per servers

[deft cipher]

Hard to understand via text.

[harsh raptor]

he said that it was too hard to claim them from the website before they expired (after a whole week)

[deft cipher]

Not hard, just.. too hidden for someone that doesn't read every damn thing they post especially after so many notifications from them over the past few weeks.

[harsh raptor]

i just bookmarked the site (as they recommended) and checked the progress every week so i didnt even have to pay attention

whatever i think this convo is kinda meaningless

[whole mist]

I mean….they don’t post that often tbh. Twice a day at most but whatever

Twitch drops soon, can’t wait

Lulu shall be mine

[deft cipher]

Twice a day is awefully lot.

[whole mist]

Time to acquire lulu and never select her after 1 time use…..just like all my other twitch drop skins

[deft cipher]

I mean, you are right that it is my fault for not observing it with more detail. However I would have appreciated it if they didn't do the post where it was clear as day only 3 hours before the codes expire, that is all.

[whole mist]

Only twitch hunter skin I actually like using is uh….whats his name….The Infected

[harsh raptor]

but its not like you missed out on some massive rewards the money and cards you can easily get in like 3 matches and the skin isnt exactly a masterpiece (if youre even an avto user to begin with)

[sick bramble]

lol we went from badass tier 3 hunter skins to people wanting lulu

sad times

[deft cipher]

Missing the skin which costs real money is what makes me upset.

[whole mist]

Next event rewards need to be something other than long ammo

Give some pistols some love or something

[harsh raptor]

other than mosins i hate the mosin lol

only the extended is peak

[whole mist]

Ranger needs some skins

[harsh raptor]

isnt it a blood bond skin?

[whole mist]

I feel like most of the event/battle pass skins are: mosin, uppercut, centennial shorty/silence

[whole mist]

I think it’s around 230 bb

[deft cipher]

Isn't blood bonds the REAL MONEY version of hunt dollars?

[harsh raptor]

you get 50 a week for free not including the ones you collect in match (and drop and the battle pass and prestige..)

[whole mist]

230bb is very achievable from doing weeklies and the battle pass

or is it 180

I think it was 180 on sale at one point

[harsh raptor]

you can complete 4 weekly sets by just playing normally for 10 matches

[deft cipher]

I need them for the next battle pass tho and I won't buy an Avtomat Skin.

[whole mist]

👺 I basically have paid for all the battle passes with bb earned in game this year

[harsh raptor]

you get enough blood bonds by playing to buy the battle pass 2 times over

[leaden herald]

you will buy avtomat skin

[deft cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-no-way-gif-24547692

[whole mist]

Hot take: that avto skin is buns

The battle pass webbed skin is way better

[harsh raptor]

ive never bought blood bonds and i have the pass plus like 900bb

[whole mist]

Bone veve on avto would be nice

[harsh raptor]

while also buying skins and slots

[whole mist]

I hate getting slots from dark tribute. Such a waste for me as I only have 1-3 hunters alive lol

[harsh raptor]

how

[young panther]

nicki minaj or lady gaga skin would be sick

[harsh raptor]

its worth it to keep the hunters close to the limit tho because when it drops trait points you get it for all hunters

[whole mist]

Constantly prestiging (and dying a lot….or retiring)

[harsh raptor]

you should be sliced in 4 and hung on the edges of the fort

[whole mist]

Pizza style

Squares or triangles, now that is the question

[young panther]

[hushed palm]

are all the weekly challenegs the same for everyone or are they in a randomized order

if they are randomized does anyone know what the full list of the ones r

[whole mist]

Everyone gets the same at some point, but the rotation each week is different for everyone

It was annoying back in the day when weeklies were the exact same for everyone. Fire shotguns for a week. Bleed ammo spam for a week.

[solid river]

hello guys! where i can see the code from this event?

i can t see the code

and they said this event is available 1 week

<@&357256267087085568>

[whole mist]

No codes yet, and it’s best not to ping mods like that

[sinful aurora]

Hopefully the codes will be available soon, but no ETA unfortunately, they will be there when they are there.

also, only tag the moderator role for absolute chat related emergencies

[solid river]

ok! ty soo much :3

[solid river]

ok,sorry

[hushed palm]

im trying to figure out which one is gonna be the next for me, anywhere i can find the full list of smoeone elses so i can cross reference which one im missing?

[whole mist]

I’m not aware of any official list. Maybe someone who’s on the game rn can go through all their weeklies and make one

[harsh raptor]

we get the last one in a few hours no?

[hushed palm]

not til tmrw

[harsh raptor]

ah

right

[silk swallow]

Any news on the Chinese zodiac hunter returning?

[spark plaza]

Nice pfp, mind if I borrow it?

[clever flare]

solo

last person in match

no necro

kill a zombie with a torch

torch flies to a barrel

i die

Hunt Showdown

[leaden herald]

Damn that sucks

[native token]

I did the same two weeks ago... with both bounties and several XP rewards... 🥳

[fair stag]

Looks like Crytek are quite the procrastinators between this and the laptop giveaway still being a mystery

[tranquil cove]

How long are queues for US East?

I just got the game and I can't seem to find a match

[spark plaza]

Pretty dead since it's 5am on a workday

[tranquil cove]

Eh I mean fair I am used to games that are kinda active at all times

And I have a terrible sleep schedule so I don't really know how early I can get up lol

[spark plaza]

You'll get some decent match making times from around 8-9am+

[spark plaza]

Hunt is niche, max you'll get is 20k daily active play base unless a big event is happening

[tranquil cove]

That's fair

Would it be a bad idea to try other servers?

[spark plaza]

Nah, I was gonna recommend you try EU actually

They are the biggest server by far, as long as you can tolerate the ping difference

[tranquil cove]

Rn I am trying US West which has me find someone in a decent time but I'll keep that in mind!

[white onyx]

What’s the fastest way of earning 20 Blood Bonds?

[leaden herald]

Using your mom's credit card

The second fastest is doing a weekly challenge

[whole furnace]

Doing your weekly challenge.

Anything else is based on luck

or well, prestige I guess

[raven totem]

Third would be doing all daily tribute and hoping

[whole furnace]

Also that

[spark plaza]

My two goats

[raven totem]

Tribute gives a decent amount if you play every day

[spark plaza]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/928306147172155392/933457298213457991/jiggly.gif

[raven totem]

Morning bonk, how goes it?

[spark plaza]

I have to be up in 2 hrs

[raven totem]

Rip

I'm going to bed in two hours

[white onyx]

Oh okay these things give blood bonds too

already wondered where I got mine from

gonna do that then because I wanna buy the battle pass

[wide whale]

Why is it, every time I play lone survivor I rock up to the compound with a scotfield or something and everyone else has fucking drillings or auto-5s or some shit?

[spark plaza]

It's genuinely over

[raven totem]

Coffee to the rescue

[whole furnace]

you do realize there is only 8 days left of this battlepass right?

[worn oak]

☕ 🍪

[raven totem]

I mean with challenge over lap, it could easily be done

[white onyx]

yeh I know but as long as the level requirements stay at 1000 of these orange little points I can easily finish it with the weeklies

obviously only if i also get to finish my weeklies

[worn oak]

Kill the alarm. Go for the coffee. (I'm awake for more than 30 hours now.)

[whole furnace]

Sure :)
Just wanna inform them to be sure

[spark plaza]

Are you a sower?

[whole furnace]

Have you completed any weeklies yets? :)

[white onyx]

actually surprisingly many for my few days of playing! Got around level 19 and still half of the challenges unfinished

gonna work on damaging enemies with bows now

btw what secondary would you recommend for a bow with quartermaster?

[wide whale]

The chu works for the bow achievement

[white onyx]

mhhh really? Haven’t tried that one yet but I’ve only heard people talk shit about it so far…

[whole furnace]

Mhm mhm, for the 1000k (battlepass only rewards) you can earn 10k on top fairly easy.
So that put you on 29.
Tho there are some of them that might be a little rng, but not impossible to do within the next 8 days.
Those rng ones are:

• Locate target
• Banish targets/activate wellspring
• Extract with a bounty token/be soul survivor
• Kill, banish and extract with bounty
  But a lot of of them are also overlapping, so that is at least something :)

And yeah also focus on doing weapon challenges, they are quite easy to do (if you can hit people) and always roll in trios as they can hellp you progress them too!

[white onyx]

Oh it also counts for teammates?

[whole furnace]

Oh yeah

That is why trios is OP lmao

[white onyx]

That would explain why I got some stuff progressed I haven’t used at all 😂

[whole furnace]

Yeah haha

Like dunno your skill-level, but you might not manage too get the overspill charm, but you can for sure complete the base pass in 8 days :)

[white onyx]

i’m still pretty bad, a lot has changed since the last time I played plus I play on mnk now instead of controller

but tbh I’m not even going for the charm

the biggest issue i’m running into at the moment is to find a trio that doesn’t instantly leaves when they see my level

[whole furnace]

Aw, can you screencap your go-to loadout? :)

Or write, just easier to screencap lol

[white onyx]

just got into a bountyclash match, but my load outs mostly vary

but i really like the maynard silenced

[whole furnace]

You primarily play BC or BH?

[whole furnace]

Oka, when you have time I would like to see it, might solve the mystery for you :p

[white onyx]

yup, I’ll do!

[white onyx]

depends on how much time i have

[tranquil cove]

Pain I had my first successful banishment and Hunt bricked my PC

[whole furnace]

Like... full on bricked?

[leaden herald]

Bro accidentally banished his own PC

[white onyx]

alright I’m back, got one tapped wall banged across half of the map

i can’t do this anymore

[whole furnace]

oof

[white onyx]

even worse it was while moving

[whole furnace]

Yeah hear a lot about cheaters in BC

[white onyx]

scared the shit out of me

[whole furnace]

I luckily rarely see cheaters in BH

[white onyx]

idk if it was a cheater, skill or luck but I definitely didn’t like it

[whole furnace]

Haha fair fair just you said "half across"

So assumed

[white onyx]

forgot the name of the compound it’s the one with the railways and I was at one end in the big red building and the guy was somewhere in the distance in the little outside wheat area

[whole furnace]

Lawson station I would guess :p
Anyways, if you haven't given up hope, I wouldn't mind go over your go-to loadout to give some pointers :)

[white onyx]

yeah sure, still got some time, not enough for a match but that going over the loadout would work

and one quick question

[whole furnace]

Ah, I would just give pointers, it can be you have a loadout that doesn't cover the basics for what people are willing to roll with and therefore leaves the lobby when they see it :)

[white onyx]

i assume the two little orange arrows next to some of the hunters are battle pass xp booster? How much do they boost me?

[whole furnace]

10%

[white onyx]

alright give me a sec, just gotta recreate it

[tranquil cove]

Game had a mega ultra crash and put my PC on black screen for like 5 mins

[whole furnace]

Hmmm... what specs do you have?

[tranquil cove]

RX 9060 XT, Ryzen 7 5700X, 16GB RAM

And on SSD

[whole furnace]

Yeah that shoould be just fine

[tranquil cove]

I tried running on a HDD modern games just ate it lol

[whole furnace]

No issue there

[white onyx]

thats probably my most used loadout so far

[tranquil cove]

If it happens again I'll probably put a bug report

[whole furnace]

Might be some cooling issue

[tranquil cove]

Hmm I doubt it

If it was a cooling issue the PC would actually straight turn off

Just the monitor turned off

[wheat pilot]

If u are saving money take fusees, 10 dollars and you can burn people, kill dogs or chickens etc.

[tranquil cove]

Just checked after burner GPU was running at 70ish C

[white onyx]

money is alright at the moment due to the 8k code 🙂
but I’ve seen people take the flare gun for that too

[tranquil cove]

Hit a max of 80C

[wheat pilot]

Flare gun is usually better but I was just assuming it's a budget loadout since not all slots are used

[whole furnace]

Okay, can only speak for BH, but this is a very "anti-team-mate loadout" and screams that you gonna leave your team-mates behind if they die.
Chokes are good for teams and a good sign that you have people's back.
Also just in general, in general snipers and especially maynard sniper is once again just screaming you ain't gonna be there for the fight and you gonna let your team-mates burnout.
It just the common bahavior and people will assume the worst.
So getting chokes and not playing sniper would most likely increase the odds that people wanna play with you.

[white onyx]

of course…

[white onyx]

hmmm, haven’t really though about it that way. But I’ll definitely keep that in mind

[tranquil cove]

My GPU temp 2 is 99C but that doesn't make sense

And if it was a overheat the PC would crash not the monitor

[whole furnace]

I will say chokes are mandatory for teams, they are so good for helping out and have nice utility otherwise too.
Sadly I can not offer any solution for sniper hate :/

[tranquil cove]

I am gonna play again with MSI afterburner open see if I notice anything weird

[whole furnace]

Good idea, that said, you said it might be the monitor or?

[leaden herald]

I have no respect for you using a maynard silenced

[harsh raptor]

feel free to steal it, i can also send you the full res image when i get home (if you want it)

[tranquil cove]

All I know is the monitor turned off would be brutal if the GPU is faulty I did recently get it but it's been fine so idk

[white onyx]

Maybe I have to try the Rival shotgun again, was also a lot of fun but I rarely find value in shotguns at least in bounty hunt

[white onyx]

aww man 😔

[tranquil cove]

In other news I got my first kill! Even if it was probably a bot haha

[leaden herald]

congrats

[whole furnace]

I mean you have challenges to do, a lot of them is either use "X weapon" or "Y ammo type", so maybe this is a hidden blessing to try stuff out :)

[whole furnace]

I mean in this day and age, quality control is lacking in many industries.

[white onyx]

wait you’re right, gonna try out some new stuff later when I’ll have time again

[whole furnace]

That's the spirit!

[white onyx]

Anyways thanks for your help! Appreciate it 🙏

[wheat pilot]

Rival is not bad but honestly due to the high spread it's probably my least favourite shotgun. On a budget, I think the romero talon and specter are the best

[tranquil cove]

I've been saving for this for like half a year so would be brutal if I had to take it out send it back put in my old 580 and then pray I can find something else

My hope is it's an anomaly or it could be AMD drivers

[whole furnace]

Anytime, feel free to @ me otherwise, we have sharp minds in #game-questions too :)

[leaden herald]

I've heard people say that the specter sucks but it's definetly a favourite for me

[whole furnace]

Dunno how your consumers rights is wherever you are, but here in Denmark we have a 2 years warranty :)

[tranquil cove]

So when I typed it in Google it appears this is an issue with AMD

[wide whale]

Check your event manager

[tranquil cove]

Gonna check my clock speeds

[wide whale]

Also - When I play hunt I have AMD Chill enabled.
It doesnt need THAT much and I usually dont exceed 70C

[leaden herald]

there are always issues with AMD

[tranquil cove]

Bc it said that what caused there crash with my same error was clock speeds

[wide whale]

There are always issues with components*

The new Nvidia lineup is awful

[tranquil cove]

Ramping up past what it was supposed to

[tranquil cove]

Teehee burning cables go weeee

[wide whale]

Unstable drivers go kaput

[tranquil cove]

Will try this! What should I set as idle and peak fps?

[leaden herald]

I wouldn't know, I still game on an IBM 5150

[clever flare]

early morning hunt is just pve

it's kind of fun

helps me level up hunters and unlock their skins

[wide whale]

Wait, what? Its just PvE?

But wheres the fun 🙁

This is my early morning hunt

[wary oyster]

matchmaking is fucked at this hour in NA

[tranquil cove]

Yeah I keep running into the same partner on US West it's kinda funny lol

I respect him for playing with me despite being a noob

[clever flare]

yeah in SA there is like no one playing

usually the match has like

1 other guy

i can just wait around and rat or kill them

[wide whale]

Its not fair that theres no Chu Ko Nu skins :9

[clever flare]

i find it funny how no one uses it

[wide whale]

Its a great weapon

Only recently started using it, but I love it 🤣

Managed to royally ruin someones night last night.
Kicked a toilet stall door open and Chu'd them up 🙂

Went back into hiding for Team mate No 2

[light sky]

there is

[astral moss]

https://tenor.com/view/mhm-mhmm-sure-thing-sure-doubt-gif-22192499

[light sky]

but chinese new year exclusive iirc

[peak path]

Are twitch drops on ?

[tranquil cove]

Let's goooo did my first successful hunt actually got both bounties

And did okay in some gun fights just need better aim obviously haha

[light sky]

no

[peak path]

Okey u know wen dere coming ?

[tall canopy]

no date yet

keep an eye on #general-announcements

[tranquil cove]

As a newbie btw any tips or like guns to avoid

Also I think that crash may have been an anomaly from a power overload or something bc after turning on amd chill no issues

[tall canopy]

u can try nearly all guns in the shooting range. just try the ones u think are nice and go fir it :)

[wide whale]

No guns to avoid, some are easier/more forgiving but find what you LIKE the feel of. Youll have more fun and play better.
Bolt action + Lever are my go-to's

[tranquil cove]

I'd like to try one of the bows at some point but I know those are not newbie friendly

Was told if I wanted to use them I should wait till I get hundred hands first

Is there any reason btw early on to save trait points or not really?

[wide whale]

Bow is not newbie friendly, I'd say neither are the crossbows.
The Chu is probably Intermediate but I love it.
The handcrossbow is, imo, a REALLY good secondary pick if you have a short/mid range rifle as your main weapon.
Dragon/Choke bolts are really clutch.
Choke for pushing your opponents around, fire for burning corpses at a distance

[whole furnace]

the gun of your enemies

[kindred grotto]

Are servers down?

[wide whale]

Nop

[tranquil cove]

Yep I know they're not newbie friendly which is why I am kinda holding off but the play does look fun

[whole furnace]

Eeeh, bows are stronger than ever

They are quite easy to use honestly as soon you learn the basic of them.

[tranquil cove]

I have heard the Chu is bad but than again I've also heard that practically anything in the game is viable and that's why people like it

Except the cyclone apparently

[wide whale]

The cyclone is viable. Everyone can just stfu 🙂

[tranquil cove]

I assume you mean the drop off?

[whole furnace]

Part of it and how to push with it

[tranquil cove]

I meant except the cyclone as I meant to also state everything is balanced lol

[wide whale]

With a shotcut you can turn a corner into a building and hip fire until your wee black heart is content.
The bow you actually need ADS accuracy

[whole furnace]

Also Cyclone is one of the best weapons in the game.

[wide whale]

So, there is a skill curve

[tall canopy]

wha

[tranquil cove]

Yeah I see wym

[whole furnace]

It is, the nerfs it got last patch is not enough for it to be bad.

[tall canopy]

its still good yeah, but the best?

misread

sowwy

damn

[whole furnace]

lol

lmao even

[tall canopy]

agree

[whole furnace]

tsk tsk

[tall canopy]

lol

[wide whale]

Current loadout:

[tranquil cove]

"sowwy" at 7am is so peak

[tall canopy]

for me 13:23

[peak path]

I killt 1 yesterday whit this loadout

[wide whale]

Also, while its on my mind.
Is there a reference anywhere for what effects affect what bosess? (Inc side bosses)

Choke, Fire, Poison, Bleed etc ?

Choke makes the fire guy pretty easy because he gets slow and cant throw fireballs

[icy bay]

Pircing at scrapy , blunt poison at assasin , fire at spider

[peak path]

Poison is best agenst bosses it works against evry 1 and dus deasent damage

[peak path]

Assason is easier whit fire in my opinion

[icy bay]

Does not work against the spider

[peak path]

True forgot spider

[icy bay]

Anti dote and a poisonbomb or hand xbow wit poison an u are standin in the cloude

Then go on

[tall canopy]

if ur cpu does not feature avx2 it most likely wont run hunt either

[wide whale]

I mean, isn't AVX2 support like Gen1 i series?

[tall canopy]

yes, but before the needed specs to run the game where lower

you can still kinda go for a budget pc and play hunt on it. the mind specs arent that high

[wide whale]

They announced the engine change in 2023, as far as I can see.
So thats a pretty decent lead time for that change.

[sudden wasp]

Im honestly just surprised it even ran on your pc before assuming you have at least a 12 year old cpu

[wide whale]

Expecting Crytec to support >15y old tech is a little unreasonable.
They'll have built their engine around modern tech and if it requires AVX2, then so be it. Im not an engine dev.

[icy bay]

More like 20 years old

[kindred grotto]

Im searching for a game during 20 minutes and its not working, any idea what is going on?

[icy bay]

Region ?

[wide whale]

Region/mode?

[kindred grotto]

I was in US east, now I change to europe

[wide whale]

Still pretty early over there on a weekday.
So yeh, EU is probably a better bet

[white onyx]

man i don’t wanna be mean but i think the majority of players profit from these higher requirements since it’s raising the overall experience for them

[kindred grotto]

oh I found a match in europe

see you on the field hunters

[white onyx]

ok now for real why is every second person here so pessimistic about the game?

[wide whale]

https://tenor.com/view/the-end-is-near-homer-the-simpsons-doom-gif-16158403

[white onyx]

good luck!

[wide whale]

As a player, I feel like the games in a good spot. Its certainly quieter than a month or so ago, but thats because the battlepass has/is ending.
I still wait <1m for matchmaking and typically get balanced lobbies.

But, I do say this as a player without a mayan-era computer. RIP AVX2

[white onyx]

I also have to say that I enjoy the game way more right now than I did a few years ago

Only annoying thing is the matchmaking since it’s taking forever sometimes but that’s nothing you can blame the developers for

[wide whale]

aNd WhY nOt?!

And my gif now looks a little out of place with those messages being removed 🤣

[white onyx]

lmao is he no longer with us?

“just proves that crytek doesn’t care about me”
probably him

with how many FPS do y’all play btw?

[clever flare]

I get 60 but hunt eats like 90%GPU

[white onyx]

I like playing with fancy graphics but they do take some of my fps

[white onyx]

yeah I also play with around 60fps in 4k and nice graphics

[clever flare]

I don't play in 4k saddly

My graphics are mid

[white onyx]

Once you go 4k you can’t go back, it really is amazing

[wide whale]

21:9 aspect is the way

[white onyx]

i also feel like in a game like hunt it helps you hitting long range shots

ohhhh fancy

i really want an ultra wide monitor too

[lean pewter]

Same

I think it would work well with hunt

[wide whale]

Cant go back - normal monitors feel yuck

[white onyx]

my current monitor can simulate ultra wide but it shrinks the total inches by a lot

that’s kinda meh

[wide whale]

Got 2 ultrawides setup for work, one just also happens to be a 144hz gaming montior (shhhhh)

I can code faster in 144hz, honest.

[white onyx]

of course 😉

can you even run Hunt in Ultra Wide?

[wide whale]

Yehm it works nicely

[white onyx]

usually pvp games don’t allow it since it gives you an advantage

[wide whale]

Any that allow you to increase your FOV do, typically. And thats most nowadays. At least that aren't console ports

COD etc

[white onyx]

damn its so thicc

[tall canopy]

looks like u need to change the resolution :D

[clever flare]

Stremtch

[white onyx]

i actually can’t 😂
it’s locked to the standard resolutions

[tall canopy]

huh

[white onyx]

might have to change the pc or monitor settings itself

[tall canopy]

it should be changeable

check ur monitor settings

asap

rn

[worn oak]

Perchta: Wide
The other one is Thin i think.

[tall canopy]

next ur telling me u didnt set the refresh rate to 144hz in the settings

[wide whale]

Wide and Thickr

[white onyx]

I’m not that stupid

i think

i hope

[tall canopy]

check it

[wide whale]

Youre not using Scart or VGA, are you? Just checking

[white onyx]

dont know what that is

[wide whale]

shudders or... DVI...

Kids these days

[white onyx]

btw fixed it by changing the resolution of my monitor

[tall canopy]

nice

[white onyx]

and yeah my fps are set to 144

[wide whale]

Do you remember this?

[tall canopy]

ew

[white onyx]

…what if I don’t?

[wide whale]

Then you're too damn young to be playing this game 🤣

[tall canopy]

no

[wide whale]

Probably not true, but I remember one of our tech team telling me a new intern asked why they had 3d-printed the save icon 🙂
Made me chuckle

[tall canopy]

well

floppy discs are old af

[wide whale]

and yet we still have a stash 🤣

Gotta hold onto the relics of the past.
What if we end up in a post-apocalyptic event.

Gonna confuse the hell out of our descendents

[white onyx]

yep sorry let me just go back in time 😂

[karmic radish]

Thank you

[raven totem]

if about the discord dm @lilac swan

[coarse moss]

didnt work. that's what ive been using.

[mortal cove]

Could be an issue with the asset then, maybe try put it in #bug-reports-pc

[clever flare]

Why is that weapon disliked

[raven totem]

the weapon isn't disliked, how much it costs is

[clever flare]

Wait really?

That'd the drilling right

2 rifle shots 1 shotgun shot

[raven totem]

ye, it's a common complaint, since it came out, yup

like 510 hunt buycks or something

[clever flare]

That's crazy

My whole load out costs that

I mean if you have the money why not

[raven totem]

it covers a lot of ground and quite well

it's perkless and super versitile, thats why it's price makes sense, mainly the perkless part

[clever flare]

Ye

Do shotguns even have any perks

[raven totem]

terminus has levering

iron eye works for certain guns but that only matters for slugs really

specifically specter, slate, terminus

romero, rival, cnk/a5 don't use iron eye

[clever flare]

Terminus with levering sounds really funny and I want to play it but I'd suck ass

[raven totem]

it jumps a bit, it's fun. one of the best shotguns in the game. without levering it's sub optimal

still usable just a bit like a nerfed slate

[radiant karma]

I think drilling costs so much cus it is a rare gun design

More than pure balance

Even in one of the tides story lines the narrator says that the gun is more art piece than weapon or something

I also think mosy drillings were the other way around with 2 shotgun and 1 rifle

[whole furnace]

Cost balance is not made around such factor of hard they are to obtain.

Case and point Cyclone

[raven totem]

Wasn't Mosin mass produced dirt cheap?

[whole furnace]

Yeah, but also not that widespread in the US

[wheat pilot]

drilling should be like 100 dollars cheaper imo

[whole furnace]

300

spot on

We don't really have any other rifle at that price

[wheat pilot]

I think 300 is a bit cheap but 400 would be fine

Same as the lebel

[whole furnace]

Eh it is still a medium rifle

Berth is 330

[wheat pilot]

Crazy that right now I can get the lebel talon for 100 cheaper than a drilling

[raven totem]

whats cyclone at?

also for drilling strength and versatility 300 is to low imo

[wheat pilot]

yeah but you get a shotgun

[raven totem]

I'd pitch 400-450 personally

[wheat pilot]

410 imo, exactly 100 dollars cheaper than where it's at right now

[raven totem]

I mean the krag is fucking 400, nothing wrong with drilling being 400

[whole furnace]

200 something

[raven totem]

it's like 250 ish

[whole furnace]

So does LeMat C

[wheat pilot]

Yeah but it's a lemat

and it's a compact rifle

[raven totem]

drilling shotgun is a romero

[wheat pilot]

and you can't double tap as fast

and the shotgun is worse

[whole furnace]

Mjah

[wheat pilot]

on the lemat

[whole furnace]

Dunno I don't think it would be end of the world if the Drilling was 300

[raven totem]

I think thats to low personally

[wheat pilot]

It wouldn't be an outrageously low price but definitely too low imo

[raven totem]

but 5 is a bit high

[dense sleet]

400 is imo where it should be

[raven totem]

yeeee

ele play arc yet?

[dense sleet]

i have

its

ok

i have my issues with it

[raven totem]

there are indeed issues

[dense sleet]

i do regret buying it

[mild flower]

How about $399? Bring predatory marketing prices to hunt fr

[raven totem]

but

it's an actual new game instead of, what if we made tarkov but not?

[dense sleet]

abi is tarkov with even worse balance choices

lets be honest, other than hunt thats pretty much every other extraction shooter out

[dense sleet]

i despise the fact that ammo doesnt count towards your total value

[dense sleet]

i mean, i agree

[raven totem]

oh abi

[dense sleet]

but tarkov is that way by design, abi i think its outright an overlooking

[raven totem]

ya abi has a whole crap load of comically oversighted balance issues

[dense sleet]

Arc is a good game, but might not be for me

i can make a list of things i dont enjoy about it, but that wouldnt do anything really

[raven totem]

fun game, but feel mostly finished with it after 500ish hours

[royal holly]

hunt is good because it doesnt waste the players time

you go in and fight

[dense sleet]

im not even at 100 and i can tell i just dont enjoy it

[raven totem]

idk what that means

[dense sleet]

People confuse Hunt for being hardcore, when its VERY casual

[raven totem]

it's not very casual

[royal holly]

you dont need to manage a whole lot compared to other games

[raven totem]

and tarkov really isn't that hardcore

[royal holly]

you just pick your loadout and jump in

[dense sleet]

you can hop in and not miss much, not be at a massive loss bc you didnt play

[mild flower]

How tf do you manage to have that many hours in a game that released somewhat recently this year

[dense sleet]

tarkov with the wipes mechanic, you have to play it to keep up or you ge swamped out of raids

[royal holly]

yeah and its not hard or intimidating to get into

[dense sleet]

i wouldnt go that far

[raven totem]

abi

[dense sleet]

hunt is quite an intimidating game

[thin fable]

Real. I feel like it respects my time, something few games seem to do anymore. No grinds I have to do or anything

[raven totem]

I'm at 100 in arc

[dense sleet]

theres no denying hunt has a massive skill ceiling

[royal holly]

people are intimidated by the word extraction shooter

[dense sleet]

and a massive learning curve

[royal holly]

but its pretty tame

[raven totem]

the hardcore arguement hurts my brain

[dense sleet]

i would argue its more so the ohk mechanic

[mild flower]

Ok that's a little more reasonable

[royal holly]

every pvp has a high skill ceiling

[dense sleet]

one shot headshots in a game with permadeath characters

[royal holly]

yeah exactly

[raven totem]

I got it a little over a week ago

[dense sleet]

and intricate maps with lots of learning behind them

hunt has quite a bit of back-flavor besides "go in and shoot" if you c hoose to pay attention to it

[wheat pilot]

what then isn't that 10 hours of arc every day?

[mild flower]

Roblox sword fighting games

[dense sleet]

but its not a hardcore game. not by any means

[thin fable]

And even the battlepass unlocks at a reasonable rate whereas in some games you have to grind a ton to complete it

[thin fable]

Yeah

[raven totem]

na we're nearing two weeks, and I went pretty hard both weekends

[dense sleet]

miss the whole event? you can complete it in legit a day or 2 with challenges and some normal game time

[raven totem]

when I think hardcore, when being super technical I think of sims, like arma

[thin fable]

Like I play maybe 6 or 8 hours a week top if I even play and I still have them finished with time to spare

[royal holly]

yeah thats hardcore

milsims basically

[dense sleet]

OOOO Glide, idk if yo uwere wondering why iw as even talking during the week. but i took off the next 3 days to get my sleeve! which im getting today

16 hours in the chair

[royal holly]

and mmorpgs

playing a pretend video game for hundreds of horus and not getting bored is pretty hardcore

[raven totem]

milsims are neat for what they are, one of the reasons tarkov blew up is it trys to replicate milsims without being a pain in the ass to just do basic things

sleep is important for the brain

[dense sleet]

hoping i can do the whole 16 hours in one go

[dense sleet]

you know i already dont get that

[raven totem]

of sleep or work?

[ocean briar]

source?

[dense sleet]

sleep

[raven totem]

the 16 hours

[royal holly]

i wanna get into milsims

but maaan

idk how

its like RTS games for me

[raven totem]

you could always try a good websight called google

[dense sleet]

the time required to finish the tattoo, he quoted me 16 hours and im hoping to do it all in one sitting with breaks of course

[royal holly]

both are intriguing genres i just dont bother to learn them

[royal holly]

just do split days?

[dense sleet]

i was meaning i done sleep very well/much but you knew that

[raven totem]

mislims blew up for a lot of people when dayz blew up

[dense sleet]

he doesnt have enough days open for that

unless i wait 2w inbetween appts

[raven totem]

I hear hell let loose is pretty good and sim'y

ww2

[dense sleet]

its aight

not my favorite

[royal holly]

cant play it

im asian

[dense sleet]

imo just play squad lol

[royal holly]

project reality i played

but alot of russians

[clever flare]

Foxhole

[dense sleet]

that game is good fun

[wheat pilot]

it's a great balance between realism and accessibility

[dense sleet]

the shenanigans

[raven totem]

but ya back on the thing of hardcore, for people who are on the internet all the time, and normal people the term hardcore shifts alot, and to normal people hunt is certainly hardcore

[dense sleet]

anyways glidey-poo i take my leave to get ready to go to my appt, ttyl mate

[wheat pilot]

It's pretty slow paced and unforgiving but at the same time someone who only plays arcade shooters can jump in and have fun, provided they don't mind a lot of walking and getting blown up by artillery

[dense sleet]

lmk if ya wanna play arc sometime, i dont play it a lot but i dont hate it

[raven totem]

fuck ya, we can go do the murder

[royal holly]

and getting killed exactly 1 second after respawning

[dense sleet]

im unf still on that hunt binge, and Stalker recently has got me intrigued again

[raven totem]

stalker is cool

[royal holly]

stalker

[dense sleet]

modded yea

[raven totem]

I gotta finish my bp still

[royal holly]

i just finished an IWP playthrough

[dense sleet]

thats a good one

[royal holly]

will play XRMPE with my friend soon

[wheat pilot]

Yeah but given that the players are the ones setting up the spawns, sometimes you can't blame anyone other than your squad leader for getting spawnkilled

[royal holly]

i might hop on gamma if it gets co-op

[dense sleet]

i play GAMMA and recently Black Road

[royal holly]

co-op and stalker is a match made in heaven

[dense sleet]

gamma wont get coop, the mod that used it was stolen and was taken down

[royal holly]

never say never

[dense sleet]

and honestly, according to grok, it'd be insanely unstable

he has mentioned it basically will never get it

[royal holly]

im not holding my breath but i think its possible

[dense sleet]

i dont, not on Xray at least

hopefully Stalker 2 gets better than it is and we get that promised coop soon, its better now but i want more changes

[royal holly]

promised co-op or promised mp

are they dumping mp for co-op?

[dense sleet]

ooo i actually forget

i think it was mp

my b

[royal holly]

i did hear making a co-op would be easier

with stalker 2

[dense sleet]

its an updated engine, so yea

unf its UE5

sooo

we will have to wait and see, i am hoping a decent mod comes out for anomaly that allows coop, but i dont have my hopes up after the scandal of hte last "mod"

[royal holly]

U should play iwp with cotz

[crystal bay]

This doesn't sound like Hunting a Showdown

[thin fable]

Remove all the dynamic shadows and reflection and the game performance will improve drastically

That's all I want from them

Everything casts dynamic shadows and reflections, every blade of grass, every puddle

They need to go what arc raiders did and bake in some of that stuff so it's less resource intensive. Then they can work on other gameplay issues

[pallid grotto]

are hunt servers down?

[paper anvil]

Wait if circus is returning..does that mean crossbow-saw weapon thing i heard was really op is coming back too ?

[bleak jay]

allegedly

but in a non op form

[dense sleet]

it was op for about 2weeks of the event

then it was nerfed heavily

[bleak jay]

I dont recall who said it, but they stated that it's practically been reworked now

[dense sleet]

im sure it has

[bleak jay]

and will be a scarce weapon

[dense sleet]

that was a bandaid fix essentially

[bleak jay]

for the upcoming circus

along with the homestead and wildland

[dense sleet]

yea the homestead and wildland are s taying

[bleak jay]

yeah apparently its been fixed more indepth

[dense sleet]

im more than positive it was

its a awesome idea, but needed extra thoughts on how it should actually perform

[paper anvil]

Never used homestead and wildland,are they any better than normal weapons ?

[bleak jay]

the weapon is cool

just doesnt need homing or frag lol

[dense sleet]

the homestead is legit a double barreled Romero, so its damn good

one of hte best shotguns in the game

[bleak jay]

wildland is a better centennial, homestead is a better rival

just straight upgrades to both weapons

[dense sleet]

and the wildland is a 125 dmg, 650 base velocity, can have dumdum on a fast firing 125, it has innate swift properties

and it fires quite fast

levering obviously as well

its a fucking beast of a weapon

[bleak jay]

wildland is a very fun gun

[mortal basin]

The levering is pretty absurd for it

[bleak jay]

and doesnt feel outrageously broken

[dense sleet]

absurd like its good or bad?

[mortal basin]

It's insane

[bleak jay]

its okay

[dense sleet]

yea it is

[bleak jay]

its not much better than a ranger 73 swift with leveing imo

[dense sleet]

dude its phenominal

[bleak jay]

same hit spread, just minus 10 damage or so and no bleed

[dense sleet]

the wildland is borderline busted

its just on the cusp

its only balanced by being scarced

[bleak jay]

yeah but thats the type of balancing you need in this game

[mortal basin]

It's fine for being scarced, but I still don't love the scarce idea

[bleak jay]

im warming up to it for sure

[dense sleet]

its fucking crazy good, thank god its scarced

[bleak jay]

there are still times I prefer to take a ranger over it

[dense sleet]

too bad scarced works this way

[whole mist]

I like the ranger’s cycle speed

[dense sleet]

the wildland isnt too far oof iirc

[bleak jay]

yeah thats the big plus of ranger

its noticeably slower

[whole mist]

Hmmm

[dense sleet]

well its slower but im sure its more than fast

[bleak jay]

yeah its cool, but if were talking about levering, which one you should choose

ranger 73 has lower recoil, less kick, better centering, and faster levering speed

so there are definitely situations i still prefer a ranger

[raven totem]

wildland

[mortal basin]

Wonder what scarce pistol they could make

[raven totem]

if wildland wasn't scarce it would be the new meta

[dense sleet]

volcano pistol

[raven totem]

and crafter says we should get og dolch, you heard it here

[mortal basin]

I just want that one, though

[bleak jay]

maybe a webley

[dense sleet]

or a dual tubed pistol akin to teh rival, but a pistol

[mortal basin]

Non scarce

[worn oak]

Even for the Dolch dum dum? 😱

[dense sleet]

what he was meaning was the system of "scarce" is flawed

[raven totem]

now introducing the overcut

[bleak jay]

man i love fmj on dolch way more than dum dum tbh

[dense sleet]

not necessarily things being scarced

[whole mist]

🤔 I wonder if should make Hunt compounds in Bo3 zombies

[queen shore]

dolch dum dum is not that op

[mortal basin]

Dolch dumdum and Dolch FMJ should never have been in the game. Scarce mechanic just feels like a band aid fix for mistakes such as these

[raven totem]

because dum dum dolch is kinda worse than regular

[maiden bronze]

how do you get the wild land

[dense sleet]

^

[worn oak]

I know. I was joking. and i used

[bleak jay]

hot take but dolch dum dum doesnt even need to be scarce

fmj however definitely does

[queen shore]

waiting for hv and incen dolch

[dense sleet]

its a 50% chance, it costs 3 marks in the bileweaver nest

[raven totem]

no incindiary dolch is such a missed oppertunity

[dense sleet]

50% chance for a homestead or a Wildland

[viscid epoch]

seis siete

[maiden bronze]

oh ok

[dense sleet]

but a weapon will ALWAYS be there

[worn oak]

Yeah. I like the system and i don't deny it can be better.

[whole mist]

Find it in the nest in a special weapon box. RNG spawn between the wildland and homestead

[viscid epoch]

what about springfield dumdum

[bleak jay]

I think scarce is needed at this moment

weapons like wildlands and homestead are cool, the game feels better with them in the game vs without

[whole mist]

Scarce is better than nothing

[bleak jay]

but we absolutely cant have them buyable in the armory

[scenic plinth]

the only one thats OK becuse its 1 bullet

[mortal basin]

Springfield dumdum is pretty good, but it's still springfield. It should be the only medium rifle with dumdum imo
