hunt-general

[bright girder]

it is v nice

[astral moss]

This BP is so cool man.

[mortal basin]

One of the best tbh

Absolute banger

[bright girder]

this is one of the best Bps we've had in a long time yea

every skin feels v strong

[astral moss]

My favorite skin is the specter one.

Like the red glow in the dark is so cool.

[mortal basin]

I didn't like it until I saw it in game

[bright girder]

I don't care about the hunter skins as much but the actual guns are peamm

[mortal basin]

Still kinda wish we got a clean skin for it, but it's whatever. I would have liked to have a blue one for Specter, and the ember one for Drilling or something maybe

[bright girder]

I love the paxes but ugh wish they didn't do that to the sights

[lyric portal]

can you guys recommend me a loadout for a new/bad player that only plays solo? traits would be appreciated too

[mortal basin]

I like it

But I do understand not liking the sight picture

[bright girder]

it just feels weird to me

but maybe skill issue xdd

[mortal basin]

It's definitely a bit weird. I was playing two paxes (separate, not dualies), and having that as one of them was for sure a bit awkward lol

[bright girder]

as a solo i feel like the easiest style of loadout is any repeating shotgun + a medium range pistol/medium slot like maybe pax trueshot/uppercut or like haymaker or something

[astral moss]

I don't like the hunter skin in this bp, but the weapon are cool so its ok.

[mortal basin]

I like them too

Not so much Postie, but the others are pretty nice

[bright girder]

myeah i dont see myself using any of the hunters but thats ok

[mortal basin]

I can only play one hunter from now until the end of time now that "kills with this hunter" stat

[hardy coral]

Officer carbine is my goat 🐐

[bright girder]

its a bit of a pity though i feel like that lebel could have been on the talon >.< base lebel has enough good skins

ok speaking of the posty skin though, don't tell me this spells PM in the hunt language 😭😭

[mortal basin]

Naturally 😂

[astral dove]

if you are walking and levering the crosshair should be the full screen

[bright girder]

can't even do anything but clap

tbh thats funny enough where it makes me like the skin more

[mortal basin]

That is pretty epic, yeah lmao

[astral dove]

1/100 hits or its broken

[whole furnace]

It does not

[mortal basin]

There are weapons that shoot at levering speed with 100% accuracy

[bright girder]

oh :o what does it say do you know??

[mortal basin]

And those ones don't even require 8 trait points

[raven totem]

ya just hipfire dolch p fmj.

[normal kayak]

i love winnie levering

[whole furnace]

As far I can see it doesn't match anything

[mortal basin]

Must be PM in a different language

[astral dove]

hipfire aiming isnt the same as levering

[bright girder]

yeah i mean if it says something it definitely doesnt say PM

[raven totem]

bornheim match is pretty vicious as well, 0.2 ttk if you get both chest, if in range and three tap 0.4 ttk

[astral dove]

you are aiming that gun and the bullets go where you aim,

the dude is just running and spamming

[raven totem]

not with hipfire, there is still spread

[astral dove]

go compare ranger to bornheim, go stand still

[bright girder]

I think that's an S in there, it looks weird though like backwards or something i cant put my finger on it but thats the only one which remotely resembles that second letter

[raven totem]

bornheim match vs ranger levering? yes

[bright girder]

weird though super weird to include those symbols and not make it spell anything?? like what

lowkey kinda mad it doesnt spell PM! wtf

[mortal basin]

It clearly spells it in a different language

[raven totem]

it reminds me of elven from lord of the rings

[bright girder]

but why would it be a different language 😭 it really SHOULD be the hunt language

[bitter sand]

yeah you can't just spam with levering, you have to like tap fire with it when the recoil resets

and re aim

[raven totem]

I mean I spam it all the time, you absolutly can

[bright girder]

i mean yea depends on the gun imo but

[bitter sand]

If you're like right beside them sure

[normal kayak]

what lever action has that much recoil that you cant spam levering

[fallow echo]

Was about to say this, they’re practically unusable

[bright girder]

you rly can if youre using ranger or infantry tbhh

[raven totem]

ranger is the ggun in question

[bitter sand]

but you'll be way more accurate if you don't hold down the trigger with levering

[bright girder]

centennial though like i wouldnt bother really even using levering on it

[astral dove]

no you dont the guy just ran at me and headshot me 30+m

[raven totem]

cent levering is ok

[bright girder]

youre honestly only more accurate because you take time to line up the shots, like the spread doesnt go crazy on it or anything far as I know

[normal kayak]

honestly i wouldnt even bother with levering if you cant spam it much

[astral dove]

noobs should be punished for failing to aim

[normal kayak]

thats the whole point of levering taken away

[astral dove]

not rewarded for spamming

[bright girder]

eh I hate it

[raven totem]

aim better

one tap him

[normal kayak]

true

i love hunt spamdown

[raven totem]

it;s usable

[bright girder]

its more usable than mako levering yeahh but

[raven totem]

you're in here crying about levering because you don't know what fucking cover is in 3 star and wanna call me an idiot?

[bitter sand]

bulbasaur would never say this...

[bright girder]

its just so shit compared to like the reall levering guns

terminus levering kinda fun though 🤫 used to be a hater but i get it now

[astral dove]

it shouldnt hit headshots at 30+m consecutively

[raven totem]

levering didn't kill you, you failing to respond correctly to another hunter did

it doesn't, don't stand there like a duck

[bright girder]

even if you got hit by a stray and got unlucky u kinda need to get over it

or use it yourself man ^^ have some fun

[astral dove]

i prefer to aim

not just spam like a tool

[raven totem]

then aim

[normal kayak]

holy yap

[astral dove]

mr glide can yo ustfu lmfao

[raven totem]

cry more

[tranquil sail]

Now kiss

[bitter sand]

let jesus take the wheel and spam that fanning pistol with like 20 bullets

[normal kayak]

kith*

[astral dove]

you shouldnt be rewarded for spamming

the crosshair should be the whole screen

[normal kayak]

you usually arent unless youre close

[raven totem]

meanwhile there are stronger spam options that don't take that amount of points

[astral dove]

30m+

[normal kayak]

youve been told you were unlucky like a million times

[raven totem]

that was the point of earier, but you don't understand because you've never seen a dolch

[astral dove]

xD

[normal kayak]

my friend got tapped by dualies from 51m the other day

like shit happens brodie

[astral dove]

it shouldnt happen

why do you think thats ok

[normal kayak]

you want the bullet to despawn if you have fanning or levering past a certain distance?

no matter how big the spread is that would still happen at times

you shouldnt get this stuck up on it anyway

[astral dove]

yes

[normal kayak]

just move to next raid

even if you bring a meta kit in this game you dont actually lose that much on dying its not that bad

[raven totem]

because it's perk expensive and over all not that crazy in terms of all the mid range one tap options, shotguns, or perkless spam like mentioned before

or hyper range them todeath with good ole mosin

[mortal basin]

I wish I still had my old chair

[tranquil sail]

Did you aim better in it

[mortal basin]

I honestly may have

[normal kayak]

office chair fuels everyone

go buy an office chair with wheels to glide around

[mortal basin]

I've been noticing lately how much more buns I am, I wonder if that's it

That must be it

[tranquil sail]

Its the chair

[mortal basin]

Has to be

[raven totem]

I think the engine upgrade is ass on older pcs and it's input method delivers a lot of latency and crap.

[mortal basin]

No shot that's it

[raven totem]

ever notice how your sensativity changes with frames?

[tranquil sail]

I aim better with a older mouse

Funnily enough

[mortal basin]

My frames are about the same I think

If that's what you mean

Though, I did have to turn on DLSS

[raven totem]

I get a lot of frame drops and it fucks me hard

[mortal basin]

Oh, I generally don't get those

I must just be getting old

[raven totem]

perhaps, me as well.

[mortal basin]

I literally have the reaction time of a grilled cheese sandwich

[atomic coral]

Case in point, this is what happens to a team that makes bad decisions.

[raven totem]

untrue

[rocky citrus]

I'm starting to miss the resurrection crossbow, guys.

[mortal basin]

It honestly might be true

I need to just commit to playing solo and see if I can improve

Really been bumming myself out lately

With how badly I've been getting farmed

[rocky citrus]

yo wtf
Very good

[raven totem]

have you tried comfort weapons?

[wheat pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/big-monitor-big-brain-looking-searching-gif-15959035

[mortal basin]

I did a bit... not even the comfort could save me

Maybe I need to just swap completely to comfort weapons

That way I'm truly comfortable

I should also probably stop changing my sens every 3 weeks

[raven totem]

from everything I've followed I don't think that matters

[atomic coral]

I just lowered mine slightly after 2 years.

[tranquil sail]

What is a comfort weapon

[jaunty patio]

A mosin

[raven totem]

it's our code word for meta, typically long rifles

mosin ye

[mortal basin]

Weapons that aren't meta, or really even good, but weapons you use that make you feel comfortable. Like Mosin/Lebel/Dolch

[raven totem]

ya really hard weapons to run, really skill expressive

[mortal basin]

Yes, yes

[radiant anchor]

Mosin? In where?

[tranquil sail]

I havnt used any of those :D

[mortal basin]

Not just anyone can

[normal kayak]

im actually getting the hang of leading

[astral dove]

177

[normal kayak]

i mean i didnt need much because its long ammo but like a few days ago i probably wouldve missed like an idiot so im happy with this

[astral dove]

with 177 ms good luck

[normal kayak]

ping hasnt really changed my leading it feels the same as it does on low ping

it just means im banished from holding angles

[wary flower]

How come whenever I prestige every 4* becomes the terminator

[normal kayak]

just go get 2 pledge marks and use shredder no one in 4* can wallbang that well anyway

[wary flower]

Third match IN A ROW I get double headshot while playing solo

[normal kayak]

go 1 tap the whole lobby

[astral dove]

4star is 6star but with no patience

[wary flower]

Last one the guy wasn't even supposed to know I exist

[astral dove]

same aim, just people cant sit around for 45 mins in a bush

[wary flower]

Yet the dude stops with 0 audio clue I'm there and aims exactly where I am

[median zinc]

Is cryspatial working as intended again? I remember when 1896 launched it was wonky so I turned it off

[atomic coral]

Mmmm, Kraaag.

[normal kayak]

got it off someone else

i dont remember what i was using before

[gusty drift]

Nagant pistol silenced is absolutely terrible for doing challenges 😂

[atomic coral]

You got clips?

[normal kayak]

now run it with subsonic

throw pebbles at your enemies

[gusty drift]

That's my challenge, 1000 damage with pistols, 500 damage with subsonic

Crytek hate me

[normal kayak]

if i were you i would just run bornheim dualies with subsonic

[atomic coral]

Do them separate

[normal kayak]

and throw myself at the wall of bounty clash

[outer frost]

Rip

[normal kayak]

after running at people with them enough youll get your subsonic damage then you can just go back to playing normally

[wary flower]

I don't clip 4*s beating my ass, no

[outer frost]

Nagant silencer dualies with subsonic would be my pick

[gusty drift]

I like the pain

[atomic coral]

Oh I thought you meant you made a shot that hit two people's heads.

[acoustic imp]

??????

what servers

[gusty drift]

https://tenor.com/view/bang-head-gif-14620899

[normal kayak]

go be a good little hunter and run bounty clash with duel bornheim subsonic

[vivid kernel]

gg

[gusty drift]

I deserve this for saying the challenges for previous events were too easy

[median zinc]

frontier with subsonic was great

people didn't have a clue where I was shooting them from and I wasnt even hidden

[mortal basin]

They sound like me

[gusty drift]

Having fun along the way

[mortal basin]

W loadout

[gusty drift]

Katana is always my secondary mate

The ammount if sticky situations it can get you out of

[mortal basin]

I need to play it some more. I burned myself out on it a while back lol

Very fun

[wraith echo]

these people are probably pissed at me

Them too.

[mortal basin]

Kinda pissed at you myself

[empty beacon]

question for old hunters, do we lose or gain mmr in the solo mode?

[mortal basin]

tbh

[mortal basin]

Soul Survivor? No

[empty beacon]

yeah soul survivor

[mortal basin]

You do not

[empty beacon]

yeah so it like bounty clash, it only team mmr that it affect

[mortal basin]

Shouldn't affect at all

[strong moon]

hate this game sometimes i swear

[median zinc]

true

[lofty skiff]

Soul Survivor doesn't even have skill-based brackets AFAIK

[mortal basin]

It does not

No MMR based matchmaking, and no MMR change from it at all

As far as I know

Which is generally pretty far

@sullen tulip if there was only 5 minutes left in the match you can't use chariot

[acoustic imp]

why tf does it cost 130 hunt dollars to put slugs on a romero 😭

[raven totem]

goofy goober tax

[acoustic imp]

romero double slugs costs more than a specter

what are we doing crytek

[median zinc]

caldwell rival only gives you 5 reserve slugs unless theyve changed it which is crazy for a gun with two barrels that need to be reloaded

[normal kayak]

as opposed to 2 barrels that dont need to be reloaded

[median zinc]

well think of the logic if it wasn't a game would you pick up an even amount if you had two barrels

yes

Gotta do the Windows HDR Calibration App, then set Hunt HDR to the same peak brightness as the calibrations max FULL SCREEN white brightness (400nits on mine, not the 1000nits advertised on the monitor box that's actually the 2% screen white point).
Contrast bumped down to 0.9 in HDR menu for a little more dark scene clarity.

[frozen current]

thanks bro :D

[atomic coral]

Here's a bright scene for comparison, still have great contrast and color.

Guys. I'm begging you. How many teams made up of private profiles and accounts with bans on record do I have to play this week?

[echo venture]

That's why I'm being shot the split second I round a corner after someone drops two headshots on my partners the 3 seconds before lmao.

[normal kayak]

yes

[wind jasper]

All of them. Some of them twice. 🙂 but i feel your pain...

[lyric portal]

can you guys recommend me a loadout for a new/bad player that only plays solo? traits would be appreciated too

[echo venture]

You can literally show people with hidden stats and a profile with a ban and players here will bury their head deep in the sand. It's wild.

[dire vigil]

You have a message

[mortal basin]

My go to new player loadout is Ranger/Frontier with hand crossbow

You can take half poison bolts or half fire bolts depending on what you like. Very good and very fun loadout

[acoustic imp]

traded with a 2* using a dolch

after killing his entire team

maybe i should just go get on tarkov

[knotty jewel]

I suck with the slate, like 3 feet away from them and 3 body shots don’t kill

[normal kayak]

sure am happy levering is innacurate

[warm star]

After testing the flamethrower extensively, I love it for PvE but it falls short for PvP.

[scarlet plinth]

Never do levering when using a silenced lever action rifle

I remember someone tried to shoot me and it keeps missing

Poor guy

[warm star]

At most, it might be annoying an enemy's health bars, but in a close encounter, he'll probably end up winning at the cost of losing 3 health bars.

u will not see a better bayonet clip

[strong moon]

well, i once declared i'd quit hunt if my KDA dropped any further, and it has, so

I guess

that's that

[whole girder]

KD is just a number bro

play the game

[strong moon]

it's a signal i'm getting worse

[whole girder]

no its not

[strong moon]

washed up

too old

too slow

too blind

[whole girder]

the game has more rats than usual

kd doesnt mean shit

most people with 2+ kd are absolute dogs at the game

dont chase a higher KD chase a good time

besides u dont have to see ur KD every few seconds cause when u press on ur profile ur banner pops up first which is something i like ngl

[frank brook]

dying a lot doesnt make you worse, so it makes no sense punishing yourself over those stats

[normal kayak]

clutch up until your KD is 1 so you can at least quit with an even kd

dont leave a record of a bad kd

[frank brook]

when someone dies a lot they learn to be better, so it would be awaste to quit now

i no longer look at crows the same way

saw a bunch of them flying today at the first thing i thought was "someone activated them"

[strong moon]

it is down to 1.5

[frank brook]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-hunt-showdown-hunt-showdown-meme-gif-24990469

[remote moss]

well no, it usually means youre playing more sloppily and getting impatient when half the game revolves around punishing someone for doing something

and then its time to take a break, not quit

[normal kayak]

thats not even bad tho

[remote moss]

just take a look at whichever your favorite hunt youtuber might be, watch their solo games. half the time, they dont do anything and just punish people for making bad pushes. other times, they do stupid pushes that only work because theyre only showing highlights and vids of extremely unaware people

and thats youtube, procured content, watch their streams and you get to watch how often they die, fr fr

but most of them started early so their KD stays high even if they get wiped over and over. and they play solos so its free KD boost

[rocky citrus]

Crytek most insightful Easter eggs for gamers😆

[mortal basin]

@whole mist Tell me I win these 🙏

[violet vigil]

to the dev that pitched the idea for a silenced sniper rifle in a game built around an amazing audio system, your incompetence is part of the reason people leave this gam

[rocky citrus]

The zombie spawn mechanism in this game is really strange. Sometimes these guys will suddenly spawn in front of the player. Do Crytek's programmers think the player's eyes are air?

[strong moon]

they aren't supposed to

[remote moss]

yes, old change to lower the load zombies put on hunt

the classic bs is a torch zombie by a barrel

[strong moon]

they are supposed to spawn in at a distance from players

[remote moss]

itll spawn in right when you cross the barrel and instant aggro before you can even react

its the same old barrel torch zombie spawns though, so eventually you get used to waiting a little bit or rerouting instead of just sprinting through a compound

ah shit, hunt maps are down

one of the most egregious torch zombie spawns are at lumberyard, the compound underneath prison at the NE side of the inner compound

[scarlet plinth]

Bilibili watermark

[rocky citrus]

yeah

In fact, many Chinese players post funny videos to tease Crytek and make them realize they need to speed up their work to fix the game's problems.

but, there was no intention to offend.

You know

[snow ivy]

actually the average player skill has shot up with the rigid matchmaking. Everyone's KD took a dip since then. Less rubber banding means players have to play more conservatively and learn from their mistakes

[rocky citrus]

However, as a Hunt: Showdown player, I sometimes feel that Crytek official work efficiency is too low. Although I'm not very familiar with German law and German work habits.

[thin fable]

wtf does german law have to do with this

[mortal basin]

@whole mist I got smoked 🙏

Low key your fault too

Ngl

[rocky citrus]

idk bro
I've heard that German law stipulates that Germans cannot work beyond a certain time limit. I'm not sure how accurate this information is.
In other words, Saturdays and Sundays are mandatory days off and work is prohibited.

[ancient cave]

Crytek is kinda objectively been in a rough spot for a while

A lot of it is definitely on them

[thin fable]

oh theyre probably on the standard work schedule of 40 hours a week (plus overtime when needed) monday through friday

give or take if they have people working a different schedule of 40 hours where they work through weekends

[ancient cave]

My first semester classes for German was a lot of cultural knowledge so I got the entire rundown on their work culture but unfortunately as none of that was important for tests I gave 0 effort to retain that knowledge

All I remember is they're supposed to be very punctual

Crytek is... sometimes punctual!

[thin fable]

I deal with guys from my company's german branch and I think they generally work the same type of schedule we work in Canada. 40 hours a week, some people working weekends with 2 days off mid week. There's a legal weekly limit iirc but I dont remember

[wraith echo]

Just gonna... slide these bounty clash mosin sniper kills here

[raven totem]

you're telling me the german economy shuts down for saturday and sunday?

pretty certain thats not how that works, they have a bunch of ot laws though and wrokers rights stuff.

[devout otter]

my only ricochet kill

felt very rewarding

[rocky citrus]

All right

[unique trail]

Hello I got 4 kills with the Springfield

Thank you

[remote moss]

nice

[strong moon]

crytek is a relatively small outfit, they have a relativelyd ifficult engine to work with, it's in Germany so they aren't American-style crunchers (or I hope so), there aren't any non-cosmetic support studios for Hunt IIRC, it's clear why it takes a while for stuff

my poor eyesight, i was staring at a Gar for like a full second before I realized that was a person and not just a thing in shadows

wasn't evne that dark of an area

[mortal basin]

It's like that sometimes

[strong moon]

i have never found a graphics setup that really helps that much

maybe i'd be better off going for fidelity and immersion and just not worrying that much about it

[atomic coral]

Regardless of the laws, it's not right to expect them to work extra hours.
I know a lot of work cultures encourage "voluntary" extra hours because leaving on time is seen as lazy.
Within the gaming industry "crunch" of 60-100 hours a week isn't unheard of, and it creates high turnover from employee burnout (and is finally seen as undesirable by those companies and they get scathing publicity when they crunch now).
Some companies encourage employees to underreport so they don't get paid for overtime.

None of those practices or work cultures should be praised, and no one should be asking people they've never met to give more of their time to work.

So, how I love the Hunt Showdown PvP mode, my friend and I played this wonderful game with all our hearts, so, yes, we were looking for a rink, the rink was found quickly, and when the rink started, we began to slowly look for the boss, when we found the boss, we carefully killed him, so, when we did not banish the boss, we planned where to place traps, etc., we agreed on how we would act according to the situation in order to defend and win in the boss's house, when we discussed the plan of action, we banished the boss, banished took the reward in order to, like, bait the enemies, what, a solo with a reward, and like I'm alone, my friend and I waited for a long time, and waited, and no one came to us, we decided to sit until the end, we see on the map that they banish the 2nd boss, and we wait, as we thought, the guys banished the boss, and they also byte that there is a solo, yeah, we decided to sit and wait when The second reward will come to use defense and traps, after 5 minutes of sitting in place, the reward came out, and one person came out, I said, yeah right... but it can't be an AFK server, where we were me, my teammate and the enemy solo, decided to leave the house, the teammate took the reward, we farmed a little experience, etc. on the map, the teammate did not meet anyone and took the second reward, and left, in the end, ahahaha yeah, we had a great fight, no, we are solo, and she threw into the rink quickly, as if she really found a large number of players 🙂

[silk herald]

I dont really play hunt anymore on account of there being a lack of content being released to the game. Have there been any new map changes, AI, or weapons added to the game since the sniper silencer

I think I played the event before the post malone 2 event and dropped it immediately because i didnt see anything but skins in the event pass

[dawn zinc]

If you didn't play the previous event you missed out on the tarot cards. two new scarce weapons and new Ai (bile weavers)
They also JUST added a flamethrower

But the last event wasn't that long ago so I'm not sure how much you expect to have been added really

[raven totem]

you mean the event that added all the spiders, giga cent and giga rival, and terrot cards?

you should look at more than just bp rewards

[rocky citrus]

Did Crytek developers actually test the game properly? The current HUNT game is riddled with bugs and texture bug I seriously suspect Crytek programmers are slacking off.

[remote moss]

avg asia bugs

[onyx breach]

I’m losing my mind a team nearly walked past by me

Nearly

[ancient whale]

Yay I got a kill with the flamethrower

And at night

[warm star]

Do we know when the next discounts will arrive?

[ripe flint]

Is it taking forever to find a game for anyone else lately on US East?

[dawn zinc]

Isn't it like 2am US East?

[wraith echo]

yeah.

most of us are sleeping gage.

[obtuse gull]

use server down?

[sharp thistle]

game down or nah?

[gentle acorn]

think so, keeps kicking me out of matches for some easy anti cheat error

[peak bough]

I think the flamethrower is pretty cool in design but using it kinda sucks, the burn not lasting, ammo, and small cone make it a bit frustrating to use against players

[obtuse gull]

being kicked out from a match

and we then switch to usw lol

usw works

[whole furnace]

It already have a TTK of 0.6s, if you hit all ticks.
Think it is a fine and fair weapon.

[mild flower]

the burn doesnt last?

[wraith forum]

it killed me within a second of being hit

it needs a nerf

tf kinda dmg is that

[mild flower]

slower than other cqc options lol. just requires less aim

[proven raptor]

And if you move and your opponent doesn’t track you well, you ́ll survive.

[onyx breach]

I love being sneaky xD

Hid in a corner with a knife and got a person that knocked me down

[scarlet wasp]

Has something happened to the Oceania server?? Says it's unavailable and when I go to select it it says it's at 280ms ping (I'm in Australia lol)

[mortal torrent]

[wraith echo]

ugliest headshot in the history of headshots?

[wraith echo]

provided you're close enough to the person, yes.

[mortal torrent]

still works like shotgun?

[wraith echo]

Yes.

[mortal torrent]

i thought it was just use to burn dead

[mild flower]

wtf are you listening to brainrot reddit stories

while playing hunt

[wheat pilot]

why is alvin the chipmunk reciting something in the background

[wraith echo]

Yes, and I don't really care if people notice.

[mild flower]

hunt is the game id least expect someone to do that in

[wheat pilot]

play them like from a soundboard

so that people around you can also listen

to alvin

[wraith echo]

My headphones usually muffle the "story" in question since I have it on my phone playing.

[mild flower]

^^

[wraith echo]

If only i knew how to utilize a soundboard...

[whole furnace]

Seen and done worse, but it is up in the hall of fame for sure!

A few days ago I landed a hs with a drilling through a branch.

[frank rain]

I'm getting auth errors

Now its good though

[mild olive]

cant see my buds online for some reason

[upbeat lark]

thats funny XD

[fathom shale]

You aren't going to find bug free software, especially when it comes to games, outside banking services/nasa or such and even then you will run into bugs occasionally, they test everything they make but not everything will happen during testing such as your clip which is the first time I've seen this happen I think so good job now it can be reported to them as something that can happen rarely so they can look into it

[tepid tapir]

is hunt down rn???

[verbal ore]

nope, its a steam side issue

[tepid tapir]

oh ok

[silver cobalt]

steam issues yay

[tepid tapir]

yeah my game wont launch half the time without restarting Steam......and then it just says Crycloud error

[verbal ore]

you have to get the steam cloud to sync i think before it will let you in

[tepid tapir]

yeah actually i checked, none of my games are launching

[astral moss]

My bad.

You cant get it then.

[sweet moat]

yes you can, but most likely you have to wait a year has passed since the skin came out

it was the fool even before circus i believe

[dawn zinc]

There's no guarantee it returns but yeah, it only came out in June

[sweet moat]

began on june

[dawn zinc]

I dont know how their new system for skins even works. I dunno of battle pass items ever return

[sweet moat]

skins that are marked orange background are mythic and will not, others will. that spear is marked as legendary

[dawn zinc]

But they only return reskinned, no?

[sweet moat]

no, the same.

[dawn zinc]

Like completely different colour so not really the same

[sweet moat]

just like the bundles in the store right now are from circus items last year

[granite blade]

that only happened with a few mythics and they were mythics

legendaries will come back in the store for a set bb price sometime after the bp is over

[sweet moat]

so far the timeline for this has been a year

[bright girder]

and for mythics which return reskinned no one knows if there will be any more or when

[upbeat lark]

i somehow killed a person with a throwing axe

That's the first time oh lord

[bright girder]

never playing on EU in the morning again I swear

everyone is so fucking mad

[remote moss]

i agree

eu is funny, i have an eu dude with rival and he tries to long range with it

like, hes doing the hug a tree and try to kill someone at 30m thing you do with a rifle and shit right

but with a shotgun

this guy has triple my hours

[bright girder]

idk I wish the verbal abuse report actually did anything, it sucks all the fun out of the game when some guy dies and starts screaming into the mic how everyone sucks etcetc

[bright girder]

i mean thats weird but 🤷 some people are 2*

[remote moss]

he was 6 star, and verbal abuse works on mass reporting only

unless they added something to record vc, you have to record it yourself to get a quick week ban for the guy or whatever

[bright girder]

well then hes doing something right ig

and that sucks

[potent sorrel]

just bought the game and trying to find a team using the ingame team finder but been searching for over 5 min, should i just hop in solo or keep waiting?

[wraith echo]

Fees like this time (4am-6am) is about the best time to go onto ss

[astral moss]

If you just start you will play against bot for the firts 15 level anyway.

[granite blade]

hit M

disables all communications

[bright girder]

kind of just sidestepping the problem imo

[granite blade]

i mean sticks and stones

[astral moss]

There is always toxicity in video game, at least hunt give you a key to avoid it when you want.

[rocky citrus]

All right

[tardy fable]

https://youtu.be/uo_AdHLiIgo
I think it's crazy what you can do with overlays.
Whether it's crosshair x or now this tool.
In the end, you could easily run a wallhack over it. I think Crytek should ban overlays in any form, but make an exception for Nvidia Shadow.

[astral moss]

Why would they ban that ?

you can know all of this info by just playing.

[granite blade]

https://hunt.kamille.ovh/maps/

i can open this on second monitor

[astral moss]

Or that lol.

[granite blade]

guess extra monitors are banned now

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[raven totem]

it's not an extra monitor though

[tardy fable]

its an overlay inside the game

[granite blade]

and?

[raven totem]

we knew this was going to come eventually

[upbeat lark]

Dang what's with the tribute giving me 3 whole extra loadout slot

[granite blade]

steam overlay is an overlay inside the game

[astral moss]

Yeah but i still don't see why it should be ban.

[granite blade]

xbox gamebar overlay is an overlay inside the game as well

[tardy fable]

yes but they do nothing with the game

croshair x show an crosshair

this show all location

its an overlay mod

[astral moss]

Yeah and ?

[granite blade]

all location i can show on second monitor and crosshair i can enable on my monitor itself

what now?

[upbeat lark]

That shows location of spawns and things like cash spawns and stuff

I don't think it's that game breaking that it should be banned

It just shows where people might spawn, armories spawn, watchtower location, benches, wild target spawns, beetle, cash ECT ECT everything that you will eventually learn overtime

[mild flower]

but showing 4 shot boons etc that's a step too far

[mild flower]

You'll also learn to aim perfectly given enough time, that doesn't make aimbot ok. I don't understand this point?

[granite blade]

no one ever aims perfectly

[random nimbus]

Speak for yourself

I miss everything

[mild flower]

yeah i am exaggerating saying if you are given enough time you could learn to aim perfectly. but ig that's too long of a time to be realistic. Still, subtle aimbot hacks that give you minor aim corrections aren't ok just because you can learn to aim that well. @upbeat lark

[astral moss]

The info wont make you win à fight if you dont know how to use them.

[upbeat lark]

The 4shot boon isn't even a guarenteed 4shot boon spawn

[dawn zinc]

Aimbot is a bit different to an overlay, I see what you're trying to say but you really can't compare them

[mild flower]

A boon that you found only because of this overlay could easily win you the fight that you have it active in

[granite blade]

i do agree with this but still, crytek partners have already confirmed that you shouldnt get banned for just using a crosshair

[astral moss]

Boon are random anyway, like the overlay doesnt make them spawn there.

[random nimbus]

I dislike the crossair overlay

[tall canopy]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1035012754639175730/1040807000398901248/maxwell.gif

[mild flower]

yeah but you still know where they might be if you didnt before

[granite blade]

which means crytek themselves dont consider it against the rules, which means its legit as far as i care ;v

[astral moss]

You can know that by playing too.

[mild flower]

Can't compare them in other areas, but when the point for overlay being ok is "You can learn it anyway", yes you can compare them. because you can also learn to aim.

[dawn zinc]

Crosshair overlay should be bannable. It's in their code of conduct to not use 3rd party software

[random nimbus]

Some things they turn a blind eye to or just ignore.

It kind of came to a head with Reshade years ago tho

[mild flower]

Most cheats can be replicated by playing and being good. That doesn't make them OK

[granite blade]

my mouse, keyboard, and headset software are third party

[random nimbus]

My mouse has like 7 extra buttons on it. Does that mean I'm using macros?

[dawn zinc]

Yeah but that's just a stupid argument when you know full well what they mean

[astral moss]

Idk how you can compare a software that do the job for you with an overlay that give info.

[random nimbus]

I actually have asked that before because one of the buttons is a macro of Ctrl+V

But like....who tf uses that as a real keybind?

[potent sorrel]

Whats the difference between Clash and Hunt game modes?

[granite blade]

and they are all in constant use while i play, constantly changing dpi on the fly, gaining more keys through switches that change my keys, and lets not even talk about that new hyperx AI headset lol

[mild flower]

Both just give you skills that you could have gotten by playing and learning the game. They give you an advantage over other players who also haven't learned these things, but didn't decide to use third-party software to give them that advantage.

[astral moss]

I dont think macro are allowed tho.

[upbeat lark]

I'm bad at arguing it's just that my opinion this is not outrageous enough that it count as cheating

[wary oyster]

seperate MMR, 1 already dead bounty all teams spawn near and fight for

[random nimbus]

I don't think it's considered the same as a real macro. It's not multiple button commands at once

[astral moss]

Even with skill you cant have the level of an aimbot.

[potent sorrel]

which one should a new player start playing?

[mild flower]

yes, but I'm specifically referring to subtle cheats like the mild aim assists. those still aren't ok

[hybrid oriole]

god damn people are taking a break of hunt or what !!??

[random nimbus]

It's just some odd interaction with the mouse itself

[tall canopy]

bounty hunt is the main game mode and has the most players

[wary oyster]

Clash is more team fighty and bountry hunt is slower

personal prefrence

[wraith echo]

How come precision guns get more ammo?

[royal holly]

Gamepass steam crossplay when

[dawn zinc]

Clash is good if you want to get used to dying and learn some weapons but it can be very intense for a new player

[dense girder]

Clash is pure PVP chaos, Bounty Hunt is just the normal game mode

[tall canopy]

theyre working on it

[upbeat lark]

Cause it just give info of things that is always in the map every game(you can learn/memorize) not irregular info like precise enemy location (wallhacks)

[potent sorrel]

Sweet il hop on bounty then

ty

[astral moss]

If only an overlay could give me avto ammo.

[tall canopy]

have u already played a few matches?

[mild flower]

If these overlays are intended to be used, then I'd rather them just put them in as an in-game option.

[granite blade]

we literally all agree

unfortunately its completely up to the game dev

[dawn zinc]

I disagree

[potent sorrel]

2 matches so far 1 bounty and 1 clash

[dawn zinc]

I don't want any overlays for in game locations and items

Besides the map we have ofc

[upbeat lark]

It wouldn't fit the lore well

[mild flower]

If they are intended to be used I'd rather them be an in-game option. But yeah if not, I'd rather keep them out entirely.

But having the middleground of not having an in-game option but also allowing people to use third-party software for it is not really a good place.

[astral moss]

"He know where the workbench is, he is cheating..."

[granite blade]

either way, its already been confirmed that just using a crosshair shouldnt get you banned. as for that overlay showing locations and whatnot... thats new so i havent heard anything about it and wont speak on it.

[upbeat lark]

It make it feels like the hunters is batman to prepare things to the minute details

[wary oyster]

while i am again modifying games files what the functional difference from having an alterd map or a 2nd moniter?

[dawn zinc]

I don't consider it cheating. I just don't think they should be a thing and nobody should be using them

[mild flower]

from what i've heard crosshairs are use at your own risk and can get you banned but they don't specifically target them for bans

[random nimbus]

If I wanted to know the spawn locations of things that badly, I'd just use a second monitor and have a map pulled up there.

But I know where most stuff can be by now

[astral moss]

Overlay didnt modify game file.

[rocky citrus]

I understand what you mean, but lately there have been more and more bugs in Hunt: Showdown. You might even find that after completing a bounty mission, you can still see the boss's blue clue in darkvision, which is also a bug. I've already reported this crocodile boss bug to the PC bug section of the community, and I hope they can fix it as soon as possible.

[wary oyster]

I was more asking if having a map with things marked give you an anvantage that a 2nd moniter doesn't

[astral moss]

Not really.

[rocky citrus]

Yes, as you know, this game has more and more bugs.

[upbeat lark]

That one bug is funny tho

[mild flower]

I'd wager to say most people don't have a second monitor

[granite blade]

rachta confirmed on stream that someone from crytek confirmed that you shouldnt get banned for just putting something on your screen. "shouldnt" means that if it does anything other than just simply putting an image on the screen, then something could happen.

[upbeat lark]

On the contrary I haven't seen any bugs other than satchel spawning up in the air

[spring mauve]

just play the game normally soldiers 🫡

[fathom shale]

To me it's more of a matter of taking a stance to reduce any gray areas, any purpose built information overlays for the specific game that provide information that is not given by the game by default should not be allowed even if you can have it on a second monitor instead, because that's the only way it should be possible

[random nimbus]

Yes, because you have a real time 1:1 use of it in the game.

[rocky citrus]

yeah😆 I think so too.

[fathom shale]

Or if you have just one monitor, use your phone or another device or alt tab

[urban steppe]

Is there an avto scripter running around on NAW/NAE

[wary oyster]

??????

[granite blade]

right now?

[wary oyster]

2nd moniter is just as realtime

[urban steppe]

yeah

[mild flower]

right. and as the user of such an overlay, you have to accept the risk that it might do something fishy that gets picked up

[astral moss]

You see, that's a cheat.

[granite blade]

not sure, havent played yet

[fathom shale]

It simply should not be allowed to be overlayed on top of the game window as it can open doors for other more harmful practices and leave gray areas

[urban steppe]

This dude was shooting it like a semi auto
did not hear the full 3 round bursts

[upbeat lark]

Most do have a phone so one can just pull up the spawn locations on a phone screen

[random nimbus]

You have to look away to a map, not see it in game at all times.

[urban steppe]

I've never heard an avto sound like it

it sounded like they were doing the darksight cancel

to only shoot a single bullet

but they were not darksighting

wtf did I see dawg

[spring mauve]

avtos been that way in my games too, just audio bug i think

[granite blade]

audio bug

[urban steppe]

oh

[wary oyster]

and to bring up the in game map you have to obscure most of the screen...

[granite blade]

its not as bad as it used to be months ago but its still bad lol

[urban steppe]

ok so its just an audio bug

[spark plaza]

amogus

[mild flower]

im just gonna print and hang out a paper map of the bayou, lawson, desalle and mammon's atp.

[hoary nexus]

are these console players?

[granite blade]

gamepass

[random nimbus]

But it's still in game without needing another source of information.

[wary oyster]

thats a cool idea

[hoary nexus]

ah okay

[granite blade]

they are using the windows store version- in case you dont know what 'gamepass' means

[hoary nexus]

Almost panicked thinking it's time to uninstall the game for good lmao

[random nimbus]

Just because it's easy to use another monitor doesn't mean an overlay is okay.

[mild flower]

let's ban good computer specs because it gives an advantage over some players 💯

[urban steppe]

everyone should be hardstuck to 20 fps

[random nimbus]

Ocarina of Time fps

[granite blade]

all fps is capped at 60 and ping is set to a static 50. if ping goes any higher, insta ban.

[wraith echo]

…sigh…

[mild flower]

all these 51 ping ping abusers running around these days smhsmh

[astral moss]

Ping abuse should be ban.

[random nimbus]

Me with my several hundred ping spikes going brrrrr

[wraith echo]

Just did quickplay rn, I think I came across two of the most… just no brains players I’ve ever played with.

[granite blade]

heh nice

[random nimbus]

[mild flower]

Force everyone to play without audio or video so the blind and deaf can play without disadvantage

[wraith echo]

One of them was camping up in the tower in blanchette and practically jumped off to his death, (granted I placed a death trap of conc and poison on one of the ladders), and the other guy basically went to the outside of the border and died.

[astral moss]

Me when starting any random lobby.

[wraith echo]

Tsk… tell me about it…

[upbeat lark]

what even is their goals

[wraith echo]

I… am not sure. In the slightest

[wary oyster]

had a guy with a silent maynard and a hand crossbow the other day, they had me checking all the people i get q'd with loadouts for the rest of the day

[wraith echo]

I think they were the same person…? Or friends…

[upbeat lark]

maybe the guy wanna be stealthy

[wary oyster]

he ended up dying trying to melee someone

[upbeat lark]

but too much stealth isnt so good atleast use a maynard with scottenspitfire to deal with close range

[upbeat lark]

oof

[radiant anchor]

Were they speaking Portuguese?

[wary oyster]

so it's not like he was maintaining his distance/stealth

[wraith echo]

No, but… one of them said something very… taboo.

[granite blade]

this is why alot of people just dodge silencers and scopes without a second thought

[upbeat lark]

they got such a bad rep

[radiant anchor]

Did they say “Girls aren’t icky”

[upbeat lark]

even tho maynard is really nice to use mid range to just quick scope someone

[wary oyster]

maynad also has a quite accurate hip fire

[granite blade]

it was probably a slur or just racism, probably better to not expand on it

[wary oyster]

so it not uselesss up close if your secondary can follow up

[upbeat lark]

its why i love using the spitfire as a sidearm on the maynard

both with high velo and youre pretty much set for medium to long range encounter

just need to work extra hard if you have no choise but to engage in close range

[fathom shale]

I hate how after trying maynard silencer sniping and sitting 200m away (as someone who plays 99% of the time close to medium range with an aggressive playstyle) I can entirely see why people do it and it even worked as a detox from the state of meta/balance for me and I had some of the most fun I've had in the game in ages. It's just so chill to sit back and get kills with nearly zero risk compared to having to deal with all the traps and dumdum and dolches and everything you get to experience in normal fights

[wary oyster]

it's just doesn't play well in teams

[granite blade]

this is why i just keep playing avtomat now, alot more relaxing

[upbeat lark]

i cant hit shots 200m with the maynard for some reason

i use it like sub 120m range

[wary oyster]

200 is a lottery of your targets movement

[fathom shale]

We just did it mainly on people banishing and people were surprisingly eager to keep peeking and sit still while doing so

[upbeat lark]

im out of my maynard phase and gone to a springfield shorty bullseye phase

thing feels quite nice to use

[fathom shale]

It was also funny because usually when I have people run away I think "damn they are being boring when I am actively trying to fight and stop them", but with the sniping matches every time it happened I could only think "yeah fair enough with how we are playing"

[wraith echo]

Syn, a word?

[wary oyster]

yeah if i don't have a scope and people are trying to snipe from 120m i'm normally just try to leave

[upbeat lark]

same

cant see them but they can see us quite clearly so fighting is a bit too risky

[granite blade]

?

[upbeat lark]

dang this skin give me trypophobia

[civic gulch]

EU servers are dying - 420 ping and 55 packet loss

[granite blade]

ping for EU, RU, and USW all went up by like 10 so yea something is happening rn

[upbeat lark]

I'm starting to regret buying this skin

Looking at it make ma actively flinch

[soft marten]

the weapon skin you mean ?

[upbeat lark]

Yes

[wraith echo]

What skin is that?

[soft marten]

gotta admit i first thought trypophobia was a phobia that has to do with tripods

[wraith echo]

Ehh depends on the pattern of the tripod

And how you use it.

I mean, arranging tripods in a way that makes a honeycomb pattern when viewed from an aerial perspective could give off that kind of effect

[soft marten]

i for some reason thought of something else when i read trypo

like idk i thought tripods were some kind of animal clade xd

a friend of mine overcame (kinda atleast) his arachnophobia when fighting the spider as boss target multiple times don't know if he also did with the roach man boss but i am proud f him regardless

[granite blade]

why cant this work for me 😭

[astral moss]

Told him that's not really a spider in the lore.

[soft marten]

you have arachnophobia too ?

[soft marten]

that yeah and he also kinda got all confident and said "you know what fuck it ima fuck this spider up" which i responded to with go get er boi

[astral moss]

Its not a spider its a amalgame of human corpse that form a spider.

So its fine.

[soft marten]

yep which is kinda creepy but hey fits the overall scheme of hunt

i think the boss i feel is most disturbing for me is either the one with the pighead or the spider

and then there's roger the gator which i just feel like is a sligthly different gator xd

sadly tho i still suck ass at this game and improving i try to but seems like i am just lacking something everyone else doesn't

[radiant anchor]

Do you get trypophobia from a cheese grater?

[soft marten]

depends on the cheese i'd say

if its a cheese with a lot of holes i think yes otherwise i think not

[radiant anchor]

No I mean one of these

[soft marten]

Ooooo

lets say it like this, if i had trypophobia i'd be falling backwards into my grave rn

[soft marten]

but i don't have it so i can only o7 everyone who got it when seeing this

[wary oyster]

trypophobia is kinda like the pattern on bilewqeaver eggs

[soft marten]

oh definetly

just a shame really that trypophobics can't admire the beauty of honeycombs

i could never not admire these artful little displays made by them little bees

[radiant anchor]

Honeycombs are literally the strongest shape the more there are

[soft marten]

Mmmmmm Honey 🙂‍↕️

[willow warren]

Hi ! can my friend thats downloading hunt showdown on Xbox microsoft play with me that have the game on steam?
he will be on PC too

[fathom shale]

Not currently

Or well, technically yes but mostly no

[raven totem]

still crazy to me they released that in that shape

[fathom shale]

There is no invite system between the two

But you play in the same matches/servers and can find eachother through random teams

[raven totem]

what could have been a win was just a poor experience for many.

[wraith echo]

Ehh… I don’t really find them bothersome

It’s cracked glass that does it for me.

[raven totem]

"if you're not going to do it right don't do it"

[soft marten]

interesting

[wraith echo]

That or shattered glass

[soft marten]

im learning so much today about trypophobia ^^

[wraith echo]

I don’t even know if cracks are considered part of the trypophobia category

[soft marten]

according to google its many holes or dents

[wraith echo]

Then no.

Personally, it’s… the way that they look so… unnatural the cracks.

Something like this? I CANNOT stand it...

[soft marten]

i once saw a cracked window and i kid you not there was a blue spot in the window that on top of that made it look like a kingfisher to me

i was touched by seeing that 🥹

[wraith echo]

That I can get behind, but anything that doesn’t look… recognizable?

Ugh

[radiant anchor]

Are you also scared of how cracked I am at gaming?

[wraith echo]

Not that kinda crack

[lilac topaz]

Too

Yoo

Is anyone on hunt atm?

[whole furnace]

Yes?

[modest wagon]

hi what is this billweaver infestation?

[dense girder]

Those long range headshots do be satisfying

[fathom shale]

Some compounds are infested by bileweavers, small spiders

Which affects their layouts a bit by adding more paths or blocking some

Also adds some loot into those areas

[lilac topaz]

Ah oke its my first time playing

[wraith echo]

Some compounds are infested with little bileweaver spiders, you can get a trait (using pledge marks), a card, or a loot ale corpse

[fathom shale]

And you get event points from killing the lil spiders

[wraith echo]

And yes they do block or access parts of the compound

[whole furnace]

What do you wanna know? :)

[lilac topaz]

How to really get into it

[whole furnace]

Well, would recommend playing both the basic and advance tutorial, then play solo from bloodline rank 1-11, go around and explore and experiement, you are only vs. bots from rank 1-11 :)

[lilac topaz]

Oke:)

I lowkey love the design of it

[granite blade]

i recommend watching a few creators to get an idea how you want to play

[hollow seal]

It's addictive be careful

[lilac topaz]

I think i can handle addiction to a game

[fathom shale]

After that use the looking for group channel here to find people of similar skill level :)
In hunt player skill is vaguely measured in "stars" going 1-6.
So when you search for other players aim for people around 2-3 star MMR :)

!lfg

[graceful hedge]

Be sure to check out our LFG (looking for group) channels to find a partner:
For PC: #na , #eu, #asia, #oceania, #south-america
For consoles #looking-for-group-console & #looking-for-group-xbox
Regional LFG channels: #ru-поиск-игроков & #br-procurando-grupo

[lilac topaz]

Oo okay

Tho im playin pc through the xbox app

[granite blade]

when they say vaguely, they mean vaguely so dont stress about stars much

[lilac topaz]

Haha ight

Rn im js lowkey looking at the design of the diffrent hunters

[whole furnace]

That is fine, just know, for now, you sadly can only lobby up with other Xbox Pass users :)
So your LFG post should look some what like this:
"LFG 2-3mmr, new player on Xbox game pass"

[lilac topaz]

Ohh

[whole furnace]

You can queue randoms in-game, but god randoms is a mixed bag.

[lilac topaz]

Understandable

[whole furnace]

And I would love to show you the ropes, but I'm a 6 star, so that wouldn't be much fun for you.

https://tenor.com/view/huntshowdown-gif-26584341

This is a meme for reason

[lilac topaz]

Eh idm honestly

[radiant anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/huntshowdown-levering-hunt-gif-7936856902105112735

[whole furnace]

Oh yeah there is also another issue of MMR being kinda borked, so getting in early and getting some kills on 6 stars can kinda lock you in that bracket for a looooooong time

[soft marten]

thats literally me cuz i always die first

[lilac topaz]

Ah

[soft marten]

AND I HATE IT

[whole furnace]

So yeah, take ya' time and fuck around to find out haha

[lilac topaz]

Yeahh

[granite blade]

finding out why you always die first sounds like the first step to a solution to your problem

[whole furnace]

But all that said, hunt is a good game, not perfect, but there is a lot to love!

[soft marten]

Oh i know why trust me its just like i can't prevent it

[granite blade]

you can though

even if its something as simple as 'aim better' or 'react faster' ectect

unless you have some sort of medical problem, you can always improve

[whole furnace]

As someone with whatever aim and a 1.32kda in 6 stars, there are A LOT of spacing and navigation know-how that can prevent you from eating dirt.

[lilac topaz]

Yeah

[lilac topaz]

Why the hell is ghost face in the game?😭

[granite blade]

hes dark and cool

[turbid dock]

crytek has been uh

Exploring ways to monetize the game better lmao

[lilac topaz]

😭😭

[granite blade]

genuinely surprised post got a second event

but i guess the first worked out monetarily well otherwise they wouldnt have done it a second time. if the second time goes well, there is a chance we see other collabs in the future... whether that is unfortunate or fortunate only time will tell.

[hybrid oriole]

Servers !??

[turbid dock]

Just know that ghost face in hunt lore is like, their own character, they just happen to have taken on the exact same look as ghost face in other media lol

[turbid dock]

I think it has to do with the fact that people really enjoyed the gameplay of the first event too

It was a highly rated event

[granite blade]

but they didnt bring back the best part

[lilac topaz]

😭😭

[astral moss]

Nah man, 2 time is enough.

[granite blade]

9 pledge marks to gamble 9 times

[lilac topaz]

I love how hunt looks tho

[dense girder]

https://tenor.com/view/ben-jammins-miner-meme-mining-meme-almost-there-gambling-meme-gif-2714289276188085716

[granite blade]

i remember looting 1 guy, getting 9 marks, gambling 9 times, and then doing that 3 times in a row the same match ;v

[turbid dock]

Yeah the aesthetics are unmatched

[lilac topaz]

Yeah

What hapens if all my hunters die at level 11?

[astral moss]

You buy another one.

[lilac topaz]

😭

[turbid dock]

Your hunters are gonna die

A lot

[granite blade]

its 100 hunt dollars per

[lilac topaz]

Damn

[granite blade]

when you get a new hunter SKIN those are permanent and you can hire them again for just 100 hunt dollar

[turbid dock]

You also lose any weapons the hunter brought ofc, but you can just buy new ones

if you somehow manage to go broke, you're gonna have to recruit free hunters hah

[granite blade]

so if all your saved hunters from bloodline 11 die in 5 matches, you just hire a new guy for 100 hunt dollars, gear em up, and go again

[mild flower]

keep in mind it is difficult to struggle with money in this game

the economy is very forgiving

for better or for worse

[astral moss]

If you dont play avto/Nitro every game yeah

[granite blade]

only way to struggle with money is to run expensive loadouts alot and lose them alot

and i mean, top end expensive

[raven totem]

I would never

[mild flower]

and the most expensive weapons arent even the best XD

[granite blade]

personally i do the best with avto ;v

[mild flower]

although if you go mosin auto 4 or mosin dolch constantly and somehow lose consistently with those loadouts then yeah you'll run out of money

[raven totem]

actually I'll argue that if a team doesn't let you greed on a win it can eat all the money potential fast.

[granite blade]

"doesn't let you" do they have gun to your head? ;v

[raven totem]

I want bounty go up

[whole furnace]

Crytek had a 1½-2 year of insanity, truly a dark time in the game.
But January last year they finally understood their own game again and since then they been slowly been fixing and reverting back to the philosophy of "old Hunt".

+/-

[whole furnace]

a lot* :b

[astral moss]

When my team want to greed i usually go extract, even if they dont come with me.

[mild flower]

yeah we're still feeling the aftereffects huh

[astral moss]

Being greedy in hunt isn't worth it.

[granite blade]

i grew up in an area where we said a lot fast so it kinda became more a'lot but alot is easier

[whole furnace]

I mean, some rivers are crossed and that is just it.
But at least it seems like Crytek understand rising powerlevels doesn't really excites people in this game.

[lilac topaz]

Oke

[zinc apex]

Eh for us low star low prestige that are still going through those prestiges greeding is relevant now and then

[granite blade]

i like looting every pledge register, every body, and gambling as many times as possible sometimes

^ that is what he meant by greedy

[mild flower]

people just say "ot" more than they realize (in terms of pronunciation)

at least in oce

[granite blade]

uh-lot

literally the only way i say "a lot"

[zinc apex]

Even if its mostly just to stabilize, was at 1k hunt dollars last night. Greeded one lobby after it was wiped and came out to 8k, it's an extra 15 to 20 minutes to be able to run what you want until it's time to reset again 😂

[granite blade]

saying "A-lot" makes me think of "eh" like "dont know what ya saying eh" reminds me of canadians... and i hate canadians /j

[mild flower]

Sir Lance Remarkably Often

[zinc apex]

Aboot 🍁

[granite blade]

but do you say off-ten or off-en

[quiet hinge]

canadians say uh lot

[granite blade]

is that not universal

like japanese say "etooooo"

[quiet hinge]

what the fuck are we even talking about here

[granite blade]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1042247956885151870/1042606550927294527/yes.gif

[raven totem]

linguistics

[cold axle]

🧉

[quiet hinge]

but how did we jump from canadians to japanese

lol

[granite blade]

well you say that canadians say "uh" alot

[whole furnace]

!n

!network

[graceful hedge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/420219125198225408/864573950746951682/1.jpg

[quiet hinge]

no i'm saying the way they say a lot is " uh lot "

lots of languages have filler

[granite blade]

oh you didnt include the - so i got confused ;v

[soft marten]

well but im neither 1.32kda nor 6 stars

mostly its like the enemy sees me but i can't see them

[granite blade]

but now that i know what you are saying... maybe canadians are just half evil maybe

[quiet hinge]

how new are you?

[quiet hinge]

you can mostly tell whos canadian based off how they say sorry

[granite blade]

s-or-E

[mild flower]

you need to use your ears in this game much more than other games. likely they heard you first, then looked for your exact location

[quiet hinge]

nah like americans will say , soar - ree, whereas canadians will say sar - ree

[granite blade]

uh... what

i say sar-ree

[fluid temple]

chat if i buy the krampus story line do i keep it forever?

[quiet hinge]

are you american???

[granite blade]

yes

[soft marten]

i wished i could play a few rounds with people that are a bit more experienced and they could like you know teach me a few things so i could adapt

[granite blade]

like USA

[soft marten]

sadly both of my friends are rarely in the mood for hunt

[whole furnace]

It was more to drive in the point that I'm not that great of player when it comes to shooting, but there are plenty of things you can do to still win and get to higher ranks :)

[quiet hinge]

that's definitely not a normality in usa in my experience. A lot of americans will pick out that word and be like oh he's canadian

[granite blade]

im... pretty sure its soar-ree that canadians do

[quiet hinge]

i'm literally canadian so

[soft marten]

yeah like in the span i have been plaiyng now i grew attached to having throwables like dynamites, poisonous grenade or whatever

[granite blade]

oh ;v

[granite blade]

so you guys say it s-R-ree

i feel like im being gaslit

[soft marten]

that combined then with the perk that lets you throw further and i took it upon me to make explosion sight (idk if thats how its called my english ain't to good) one of my standard perks

[dense girder]

Pitcher.

[whole mist]

Stereotypical Canadian accent is more rounded.

Stereotypical American is more flat

[soft marten]

wonder if i can somewhere change the ingame language

[granite blade]

does this answer my question and im too tipsy to understand? ;v

[dense girder]

Should just be in the settings, no?

[quiet hinge]

lol canadians say it sar - ree and americans usually say soar-ree, canadians don't usually pronounce the O in sorry

[soft marten]

lemme have a looksie

[granite blade]

i still think im being gaslit

[soft marten]

dw sometimes i can't tell either if im being gaslit or not

[quiet hinge]

i may be gas lighting myself so

lol

[granite blade]

i swear ive always heard americans say it as s-R-ree and canadians mocked as s-OR-ree

[whole mist]

U from Toronto? @quiet hinge

[quiet hinge]

yeah roughly

[whole mist]

Knew it 👺

[soft marten]

it rightfully is sorry, tho people like to shorten it to sry

here in germany we say sorry most of the time too since we adapted this funny thing called denglish

[dense girder]

you mean sowwy

[soft marten]

no i mean what i said xd

[dense girder]

Lots of us can't properly pronounce it which freaks me out

[mild flower]

that's a dramatic typo, h isn't even close to o

[fluid temple]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-showdown-gif-25326090

[soft marten]

not to offend anyone that is from england or usa but sometimes i read people writing in chats and know they are english but they're writing words wrong and im like "how"

[mild flower]

oftentimes people online will write shortened or messed up versions of words intentionally to make it easier to type or to seem more casual

[soft marten]

how comes that some people that are native to england or usa write way worse than me who selftaught himself english and is german

[granite blade]

okay but are we talking about spelling errors or grammar? because im too lazy for grammar ;v

[soft marten]

that i can get behind kind of

[soft marten]

idk honestly im just rambling rn

[mild flower]

Perfect grammar and spelling etc are usually seen as too official or passive-agressive for casul conversation

like if you're in a casual conversation online and start using full-stops you'll often be interpreted as passive-agressive

It's the difference between

hello

and

Hello.

One seems much less friendly to most native english speakers

[astral moss]

Good thing that i am bad in english then.

[raven totem]

ye

[granite blade]

yes actually

we usually love hearing friendly broken english

its very... mood lightening

[astral moss]

Nice.

[granite blade]

just dont mess up your there, their, and they're or ill come for your toes.

[soft marten]

thats one of these things i mean

[astral moss]

lol you can already order a taxi then.

[granite blade]

tsk.

[soft marten]

they're, their and there are clearly three different words

it also triggers me as hell if people say where but they actually mean were

[granite blade]

same with your and you're

where, were, and ware yea

[fluid temple]

there gonna denitely gonna make that mistake

[granite blade]

weather and whether

there, their, and they're is my biggest gripe with native USA people

[dawn zinc]

could care less and couldn't care less

[granite blade]

you literally live here, how do you get those wrong

[soft marten]

for real

[dawn zinc]

aloominum and aluminium

[astral moss]

Who live where ?
