[dense sleet]

these poor fellas, good chaps to talk too

[twin garden]

If you're solo and the last one remaining with 3 pledge marks, are you getting the bounty at circus or death cheat, or farming 3 more pledge marks for both. I can't make up my mind lol

[viral cradle]

let me buy the skin please but in sale please thanks please

[umbral quail]

anyone elses server crash?

[whole mist]

death cheat personally. or do it all by farming ai and stuff across the map if u have lots of time left

[dense sleet]

death cheat

[dense sleet]

you just missed the bundle sale on it when it released

[viral cradle]

nooo no bundle sale,

[twin garden]

say less

[viral cradle]

i want her specifically

[dense sleet]

yea i got oyu

[void crown]

US East server just go down ?

[dense sleet]

there was a bundle wiht her having ONE of the marathons and it was less than that price lol

i think it was like 900 or sumin but it was a better deal

[gritty sparrow]

hihi!

am new to the game

[viral cradle]

gift me homie 😄 please

[gritty sparrow]

literally just finished the tutorial

[dense sleet]

if you were my homie i mightve lol

[dense sleet]

gratzi

[gritty sparrow]

danke

[viral cradle]

now thats what i call a homie tbh still

[dense sleet]

enjoy the process man but know you are gonna die, a lot. if not most often

[gritty sparrow]

im ngl, the main menu is confusing

[dense sleet]

is it?

the best its been in years honestly

[gritty sparrow]

lotsa buttons

[dense sleet]

oh well theres a lot of menus

[viral cradle]

yeah its abit of warzone homie

[dense sleet]

and lots of ways to outfit a hunter, but its way better than previous UIs

[gritty sparrow]

question, what happens if i run out of hunters? you can lose them yes

[thin fable]

you hire more with hunt dollars or use free hunters

[gritty sparrow]

oh theres free ones

[thin fable]

you can never run out of hunters because of the free hunter system

[gritty sparrow]

are free hunters random or are they the same everytime

[dense sleet]

you can rebuy them wiht Hunt bucks for 100, and outfit the mpersonally OR use free hunters that have limited equipment. the white icon when in the Hunter Select is the free ones

[dense sleet]

set pool of loadouts basically

[viral cradle]

make sure you get vulture, to get money... use the event as much as you can for money !

[thin fable]

random with random gear but you can equip them with stuff too

[dense sleet]

but htey refresh after every game

[gritty sparrow]

thank you thank you

i will enjoy dying

alot

[dense sleet]

up until BloodLine 11 you will fight bots, AND your hunter will be protected and cheat death, no matter the circumstance. take your time to learn some of hte game during this period

[thin fable]

yeah Crytek has been pretty good at making it so you always can play even if you manage to somehow lose all your hunt dollars

[whole mist]

unlike other extraction shooters

[thin fable]

yeah, plus being able to buy our loadouts instead of having to find and craft stuff

[dense sleet]

at level 12, you will become full fledged and lose everything a hunter has when the ydie barring a specific circumstance

[gritty sparrow]

noted

which gamemode should i play?

[thin fable]

bounty hunt reigns supreme

its the most popular and most populated mode

bounty clash is good for shoot out practice but I rarely ever get a lobby with more than 2 other people in it so I dont bother

[gritty sparrow]

ill check out bounty hunt then

thank you

[dense sleet]

theres 3, basic rundown

Soul Survivor is the "Impromptu BR mode", spawn with a shitty piece of gear and find clues to become marked on the map and drain whats called hte "Wellspring", which is a match timer that when reaches Zero, everyone NOT holding onto it will die. only one person will survive no matter what

Bounty Hunt IS the mode this game is balanced and mainly played, spawn in with a loadout you make (by any means) and find clues to locate the boss, kill the boss and extract his tokens to get money/xp. But Hunters will try to stop you so kill them

Bounty Clash is Bounty Hunt, but limited to ONE compound, and the boss is already dead just waiting to be banished. basically TDM and faster paced matches with a 15 minute timer unlike Bounty Hunts 40minute timer

[normal kayak]

okay im late asf now cause i did a match but if you have any left that would be nice

[thin fable]

just accept you'll probably die lots, just try to not get discouraged. Hunt is one of those games where it's easy entry but high skill ceiling, so it can take a while until you start doing well. I know it took me a while

[gritty sparrow]

noted thank you

[gritty sparrow]

i fully accept the meat grinder till i improve

danke

[normal kayak]

if you can you should get a friend to run back and forth at different ranges in shooting range so you can practice leading your shots

[dense sleet]

anothe quick tip. this game is DESIGNED with superb audio in mind, everything you do has an audio minus opening the map or other menus ofc, everything yo uHEAR is a direct result of some type of action.

Example, you hear a guy on the other side of a wall reloading while crouch walking through shattered glass on the ground. you can hear SPECIFICALLY which weapon he is loading and where he is walking, even while crouched, if you recognize it. and then if your weapon and ammo type allows it, penetrate the wall and kil him if you land a headshot, which are ALWAYS LETHAL when shot

[gritty sparrow]

thats awesome

holy hell

[normal kayak]

except for like buckshot at some range

[dense sleet]

this games audio is easily 70-80% of the learning process, and makes up for hte same amount of the game

[dense sleet]

quid pro, buckshot doesnt have a headshot multiplier

[gritty sparrow]

what weapons should i learn and get good with?

[dense sleet]

so i didnt mention it

Ranger 73, Vetterli, Centennial are all easy rifles to use and are pretty good without traits, or perks say you, and are even more efficient with traits that benefit them

[gritty sparrow]

noted

[dense sleet]

imo, these are the best starter weapons

ranger is the winfield lever action, and has one of hte highest skill ceilings in the game by a long shot. even in high end play its a scary weapon bc of its adaptability and uses

vetterli is babies first reliable bolt action, it fires fast with the necessary trait (it is the fastest bolt action in the game) and hits hard but suffers from questionable (ableit very usable) irons and a slower muzzle velocity, so you have to lead shots more

Centennial is a Ranger, but more oomf and less true cqc power. it hits a bit harder but fires slower BUT has one of the fastest bullet velocities in the game base, with no adjustments. if you wanna land easy shots and especially headshots, this is a great weapon to master

[normal kayak]

winnie so fun

[hardy coral]

Anyone else getting terrible ping on NAE right now?

[gritty sparrow]

yoooo

theres a stocked nagant rifle

[dense sleet]

yee

[gritty sparrow]

that is so fuckin sick

[dense sleet]

theres a lot of wacky weapons

[normal kayak]

melee is surprisingly viable

[dense sleet]

we have a triple burst mosin, an elephant gun, a sawblade launcher, a flame thrower just got added, a spear that has a projectile system attached to it for certain shootables like harpoons, steel ball "buckshot", and explosives

[remote robin]

Wot about the martini henry 😄

[gritty sparrow]

thats actually really cool

[thin fable]

Yep these are good ones. Id also like to throw in the Lemat Carbine when you get that (if its not unlocked all the way) cause it requires zero traits to do well

[dense sleet]

its a great weapon, but i try not the recommend it to new players on account of it be ing a bit pricey, it only having one shot so you get punished for missing shots harder and less cqc power since you wont know how to play around your weapon starting out its a bit of a dentriment

good gun tho

[thin fable]

Vetterli I consider the best middle of the road balanced gun, in my opinion

very good starter gun

[dense sleet]

im biased as i hate htat weapon, but it is a great starter weapon for sure

let my bias take hte lead there xD

[remote robin]

yey

[dense sleet]

dude if its mv was slightly more it'd be actually broken, 1.1 cycle speed is nuts for 130 damage

[thin fable]

yeah fair. The shotgun might trick new users up when they forget to switch back to the rifle itself but its honestly not bad

[thin fable]

yet its not super popular, which is funny. I think I rarely see them

[dense sleet]

my gripe is hte irons and honestly i just dont like the way the weapon feels. i just am not a lemat family enjoyer and would rather just use a winny

[dense sleet]

bc its not long ammo and suffers from poor mv

[brisk parcel]

HOLYCRAP, solo sniper, CHASED me and my duo ALL THE WAY across map, downed us 3 times, THEN ALL BOUNTYS LEAVE, HE STILL IS ON US, DOWNS MY TEAMATE, THEN DIES TO ME, THEN DIES ON NECRO TO ME. What a Scummy and horrible way to play this game, thank you for coming to my ted talk

[thin fable]

poor mv isnt too bad though, good practice for leading shots

[dense sleet]

its a valid playstyle

[thin fable]

yeah thats fair. I liked the lemat carbine, I'll sometimes run the marksman variant too

[dense sleet]

or not good practice, since youll be used to slow mv and when use a higher mv one, you get tricked

[thin fable]

I mean that can be said for any gun

[dense sleet]

thats my issue since i was a vet silencer main for years until it was gutted, then i use more long ammo and i just bork myself

[thin fable]

get use to higher MV, you get tripped up by slower MV and vice versa

[dense sleet]

oh i agre

[thin fable]

thats why I also tend to not stick to one gun

[dense sleet]

but thats a reason its not used in high lobbies a lot

mv is the god stat

[thin fable]

unless im grinding a challenge, I change my loadout almost every match

[rocky citrus]

Why has Crytek focused on developing PC and console games for years instead of mobile games? I believe Android and iOS desperately need a single-player, buy-to-play game that fully utilizes hardware capabilities and is designed to PC and console specifications.🤔
Just like those technically very powerful mobile game developers such as Gameloft and MADFINGER Games

[brisk parcel]

how dude, he got LITERALLY nothing, he did nothing but harrass us

[thin fable]

what does this have to do with Hunt

[dense sleet]

bc its not a lucrative business strategy for htem right now

[gritty sparrow]

oh cool theres a bow

[dense sleet]

that requires a WHOLE NOTHER part of game deving

[thin fable]

I also dont think CryEngine is designed for mobile either

[gritty sparrow]

i really wanna learn the bow

[brisk parcel]

its so good dude, please do it

[dense sleet]

its not as easy as transfering the code, theres so much more to it than that espeically with a game like hunt

[fleet adder]

Lemat carbine starter weapon 🥀

[dense sleet]

its very good right now

[fleet adder]

You have hurt me greatly today elegant

[thin fable]

https://www.crytek.com/games/fibble

I think this is the only cryengine mobile game

[dense sleet]

it is a great starter weapon, idk what you mean by that Nightmare lol

[fleet adder]

It doesn't need the adjective

[dense sleet]

no traits, reliable enough and a backup single shot slate

[thin fable]

both the bow and crossbow are great weapons but high skill ceilings. Highly recommend learning them over time

[rocky citrus]

I don't think they just lack suitable IP to create games for Android and iOS, and they also face piracy issues.

[gritty sparrow]

i understand

i just love bows in games

like far cry

[dense sleet]

its such an endeavor for htem and i dont see it as highly profitable

[thin fable]

oh and one tip, if you dont know what traits work with a gun, when you go into the screen to build your loadout, you can right click a gun and go into item details (on pc) and it'll say what traits work with it.

[acoustic imp]

remove romero off of free hunters so clash isn't awful

[dense sleet]

crytek isnt exactly a AAA company with millions upon millions to spend on a gamble

[rocky citrus]

Okay, maybe

[dense sleet]

or type the trait into the search bar and itll bring up every weapon it effects

[fleet adder]

I got dumpstered by crowns 3 clash matches in a row today before work 🥀

[gritty sparrow]

man i wish i had friends that played fps

[tranquil sail]

They go on about this every few days

[raven totem]

romero is the blight of clash?

[fleet adder]

And then went to hunt. Killed 4 people, died to a rival

[thin fable]

yeah but search bar is jank, I find it sometimes doesnt work well

[thin fable]

yeah true, standard seraph take for this server

[dense sleet]

i dont have any issues, but i dont doubt it

[gritty sparrow]

the bosses, how hard are they

[dense sleet]

Cry-Sgetthi

[gritty sparrow]

do i need to be worried

[thin fable]

as a new player solo, probably a bit hard

[gritty sparrow]

dang

[thin fable]

but if you're with a team, you'll get the hang of it

[tranquil sail]

Ehhh

[thin fable]

the bosses arent too bad, its mostly other players

[dense sleet]

at first, decently difficult w/o the knowledge about how to take htem out quickly. but give it 50ish hours and youll clear them easy

just takes some practice and know how

[thin fable]

and the special monsters like immolators and whatnot. Once you learn the mechanics and whatnot, it's pretty trivial

[tranquil sail]

You can just smack the shit outta bosses with melee weapons
(Except scrapbeak because he hordes them so you'll have to bring one from somewhere else)

[acoustic imp]

clash in general would just be more fun without shotguns

[thin fable]

though boss AI can be a bit unpredictable at times

[fleet adder]

Fully agree

[thin fable]

the biggest threat is definitely other players

[tranquil sail]

Spider is the worst boss simply because im scared of spiders

[still totem]

Scrapbeak took me a bit melee wise, I got luicky and he caught himself on fire somehow

[normal kayak]

elegant lowk i think solos might have like some magical touch that allows them to steal bounty and run away

[fleet adder]

I don't necessarily want shotguns nerfed. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit I was absolutely fucking tired of fighting them in every single compound engagement lol

[thin fable]

I have a few hundred hours and I still get fucked up by scrapbeak because of his concertina

[tranquil sail]

Bro walks into the lanterns on his on own accord lmao

[acoustic imp]

troglodytebehavior

[still totem]

He did! I thought I had another team on me at first

[thin fable]

also if you set scrapbeak on fire it burns the stuff he drops I believe so you cant use the stuff he drops

[dense sleet]

i get fucked by his double melee rush where he deals 125 damage instantly

[inland stump]

run a melee build ez

[thin fable]

butcher you can put out his fire entirely with a choke bomb

[still totem]

I'm fairly new, only 22 hours in the game so still learning what the bosses do

[inland stump]

or hand crossbow w poison

[thin fable]

just dont use fire on butcher because it re-ignites him iirc

[dense sleet]

correct, fire and explsoives will "ruin" the items he drops

[fleet adder]

Railroad hammer. Bosses are just normal grunts

[acoustic imp]

i survive that then he snipes me

[thin fable]

yeah each boss has weaknesses too

[fleet adder]

Ya, all weak to railroad hammer

[tranquil sail]

I prefer the shovel simply because it has funny noise

[normal kayak]

scrapbeak once teleported backwards and then threw a concertina at me

[still totem]

I learned after throwing a fire bomb at butcher that he was immune to it

[dense sleet]

anybody here a weeb? ever heard/watch Grimgar Ashes and Illusions?

any good?

im tryna find something new that isnt romance to watch while i eat my pizza i made

[thin fable]

Butcher - Choke him and poison him, sharp melee weapons do well
Spider - Fire and blunt melee damage
Assassin - Poison, Blunt and Slashing melee
Scrapbeak - Poison and Piercing melee

then they also have their own enrage states

[tranquil sail]

Assassin isnt weak to fire?

[dense sleet]

no

[tranquil sail]

Wild

[dense sleet]

poison chunks him

[tranquil sail]

I always chuck lanterns at him

[still totem]

Really? I hit him with the flamethrower and he died very fast

[dense sleet]

he does get hurt from it, but poison will absoluely merk him

[thin fable]

the strategy is often to have one person fight him and poison him at the door cause the AI bugs out and he stands there

[dense sleet]

flamethrower just deals insane damage to ai in general

[fleet adder]

Flamerifle kills everything instantly lol

[still totem]

Ah, good to know

[gritty sparrow]

this the ranger you were talking about elegant

[thin fable]

I forget rotjaw and hellborn weaknesses

[fleet adder]

It's like railroad hammer with berserker. Nothing needs to be weak to blunt. It just does a shit ton of damage

[thin fable]

Rotjaw - Hit in the mouth, Poison, also stuff like the hammer or axe on the map that spawn are strong
Hellborn - Choke bombs block his projectiles. Melee works well, explosives too

[tranquil sail]

I dunno if it was just timing because all 3 of us were beating on Hellborn, but I hit him with a water bottle ans his health went down by 1/3rd

[dense sleet]

well yes, and no.

theres technically 3 compact ammo "winfields" the Frontier 73C, the Ranger 73 and the Infantry 73L

they are all basically the same weapon, with miniscule stat differences. mainly the differences are in the variants you can unlock with different "attachments" so to speak like a speed loader for the ranger 73 called a "swift" or a silencer for hte Frontier, or a LONG BOY bayonet for the Infantry

[thin fable]

I havent tried the water on him but I could see it doing extra damage

its 25 damage normally iirc

or 50

I forget

[dense sleet]

but they are all the same weapon, iirc they have the same ammo count just differential with whats reserve and whats loaded

[gritty sparrow]

ah ok

little confused

[dense sleet]

it is

[gritty sparrow]

but i think ill get used to it

[dense sleet]

i hate how the compact winfields are dealt with

[thin fable]

yeah you'll get the hang of it over time

[tranquil sail]

How does swift work on the rifles? Since on revolvers you dump the entire cylinder

[dense sleet]

basically. you level up weapons for the variants that they have

[thin fable]

once you play with various weapons and ammo types

[dense sleet]

you load 6 rounds by a speed tube

[fleet adder]

It's a stick with boolets

[dense sleet]

instead of 1 at a time

[thin fable]

also some guns are faster to reload from empty than doing a partial reload, even with bullet grubber

like the berthier I believe is a faster reload from empty

[tranquil sail]

But it doesnt dump any rounds?

[thin fable]

no

[dense sleet]

nope

[tranquil sail]

Neat

[fleet adder]

Swifts are top tier

[gritty sparrow]

would anyone like to hop into a game with me? my actual first one

[fleet adder]

Part of the reason wildland is so cracked

[dense sleet]

the swift does it bc you use a autoloader to load the cylinder all at once, so all the chambers have to be empty

[thin fable]

some guns can also use bulletgrubber to save ammo so you dont lose any

but its a limited selection

[dense sleet]

among other reasons, thats the least good thing about it lol

[tranquil sail]

Yeah because you dump the entire enbloc instead of removing it and then putting a new one in

[raven totem]

BULLETBRUBBER

[fleet adder]

Idk bout least but yea definitely not the only

[thin fable]

I wish the wiki.gg listed which guns work with traits when you look up a trait

[dense sleet]

the damage, mv, and rof are the insane parts about the wildland, the swift aspect is a cherry on top

[raven totem]

spending 4 points on vibes instead of necro or packmule

[fleet adder]

I must have packmule

[raven totem]

same

[tranquil sail]

I like my Centennial and nagant revolver :>

[dense sleet]

i like my lebel and uppercut

[raven totem]

just like a, regular nagant?

[fleet adder]

Drilling/lemat carbine and railroad hammer is my main now

[thin fable]

Im a sicko that runs the lebel aperature

[gritty sparrow]

what does one use blood bonds for

[fleet adder]

My poor single shots have been neglected

[gritty sparrow]

i assume its the premium currency

[raven totem]

I switch loadouts almost every game

[fleet adder]

Drip

[gritty sparrow]

ah

[raven totem]

which I know is bad

[dense sleet]

premium currency, think of it as skin money

[tranquil sail]

Yeah, a whole 27 hunt dollars

No special ammo or anything

[dense sleet]

until you get annoyed and run avtos for hte rest of the night lmao

[raven totem]

after every match grab all four free hunters, stack up the small vits for heals

[still totem]

I've started running LeMat Carbine Marksman Incin rounds/Pax Dum Dum, I love status effects to force disengages and repositions

[gritty sparrow]

should i use the 300 i have to buy hunter slots instead

[fleet adder]

Nein

[dense sleet]

dont buy those

[tranquil sail]

Ive got like 41k hunt dollars

Im just CHEAP

[thin fable]

no you'll get so many extra slots from dark tribute over time

[dense sleet]

you get them pretty commonly, and tbh... you wont really stack hunters as a new player xD

[gritty sparrow]

ah kk

[raven totem]

nagant is just investing against yourself

[dense sleet]

theyll be too dead to populate those extra slots

[gritty sparrow]

nagant sucks in this game?

[fleet adder]

Nagant finds headshots ngl

[gritty sparrow]

thats sad

[tranquil sail]

I can get kills with it plenty well

[gritty sparrow]

i love the nagant

[tranquil sail]

I cant aim with any other revolver

[still totem]

If it works for you, then go for it

[fleet adder]

Are you talking about mosin nagant or nagant pistol?

[raven totem]

with cent I'd double stack and grab a free scottfeild if I'm being cheap

[thin fable]

I do recommend filling up your hunter slots with free hunters because the Dark Tribute can give every reserve hunter in your hunter slots 2 upgrade/trait points

[tranquil sail]

But the normal nagant i can dink people with

[raven totem]

the very basic nagant pistol is one of the worse pistols in the game yes, nagant officer is one of the best though so

[gritty sparrow]

pistol

[raven totem]

what the hell are you doing with your cent?

[tranquil sail]

Shooting people at range

[fleet adder]

It's not bad. The suppressed variant used to be amazing before poison ammo nerf to stuff like immolated, and then the suppressor nerf on top of that

Nagant pistol also fans like a mofo

[tranquil sail]

[gritty sparrow]

neat, ill try it out

[tranquil sail]

Also Foxu, cus idk what the tutorial says and doesnt say

[gritty sparrow]

question, when i que up for a game as a solo, is there no way to fight other solos, or am i always gonna have to go up against teams of two

[tranquil sail]

If you see a guy on fire

Dont shoot him or stab him

[still totem]

Minimum teams of two

[tranquil sail]

Use blunt melee (dusters, weapon stock, etc)

[still totem]

Its tough but its what I do as well, I'm a dirty solo player. It helps you learn though for positioning and angles

[thin fable]

you'll go up against solos and duos if you queue solo against duos

[fleet arrow]

Idk i think its pretty wack when a team spawns on the bounty in the corner of the map with an extract right behind them while other teams spawn on the complete opposite corner and cant make it to the bounty in time

[thin fable]

if you queue solo against trios you can run into solos, duos and trios

[still totem]

Its winnable, I've gotten a couple victories. I had one earlier until a damn immolater and a hive lady got me. Oh I was so mad

[thin fable]

I think currently its also a max of 12 players per match

[gritty sparrow]

noted? why if i can ask, if i set someone on fire is there some secret why i cant shot them

[tranquil sail]

Hives either die in one or you cant kill them fast enough

Theres no in-between

[still totem]

Yep, its demoralizing

[fleet arrow]

Id recommend witness and learn to start county player body counts it will do you good to know how many players can be left in the lobby assuming its a fully populated lobby

[fringe pilot]

man i wish solos could revive from full dead

[still totem]

I'm still learning so I cant fully say I understand what you mean. I know you can set bodies on fire

[gritty sparrow]

oh i replied to the wrong guy

sorry

[still totem]

You're fine!

[gritty sparrow]

they told me not to shoot at people on fire

[fleet arrow]

Shot at people on fire

ruin their day

[thin fable]

they probably mean the immolators

[gritty sparrow]

ohhh

i assume an enemy type

[thin fable]

these boys

[still totem]

I have PTSD from Immolaters now, I died 3 games in a row to them

[thin fable]

you can headshot them at a distance and they'll die

[fleet arrow]

Dont shoot immolators if they are close to you it will ruin your day instead

[thin fable]

but its loud

[still totem]

I avoid them at all costs now

[thin fable]

melee them with blunt

[gritty sparrow]

noted, thank you

[thin fable]

dont use sharp stuff on them

[gritty sparrow]

how do you bash someone in with a stock

[thin fable]

melee with the gun out

[still totem]

You can take the brass knuckles too, its faster and uses less stamina

[thin fable]

the stock will do less damage than a dedicated melee weapon like the dusters

[hardy coral]

what res is stretched for 2560x1440

[fleet arrow]

If its heavy raining (you can see a little rain icon in the corner) or if they are in knee deep water then they will not explode from pierce damage

[thin fable]

also be aware of barrels around you, last thing you want to do is blow yourself up when a torch grunt hits you or a lantern grunt breaks a lantern on you

cause fire instantly blows up barrels and explosives

[fleet arrow]

The amount of deaths i have to this very thing is laughable

[gritty sparrow]

there was this lung tutorial in the tutorial, but i couldnt see the icon even when running, is that just like a hidden thing

[still totem]

You can equip incindiery rounds and make barrels explode instantly, got a double kill with that earlier on Quarry map

[thin fable]

Still happens to me, its both hilarious and depressing

[gritty sparrow]

thats a thing that can happen? lordy

[fleet arrow]

Hunt giveth and hunt taketh

[thin fable]

yep, I like doing this because people often arent aware of barrels cause people dont go around shooting them ive noticed

[fleet arrow]

hunt taketh a lot

[thin fable]

words to live by

[still totem]

Amen reverend

[fleet arrow]

I do... my flare gun is always looking for a barrel to shoot

especially if a player is nearby

AND DO NOT USE THE ANTOMAV

[thin fable]

I'll usually throw incendiary on my secondary or have it be an ammo type I can switch to, if its a gun where I can have 2 ammo types

otherwise i use fusees cause they burn bodies too

[kindred portal]

Bro why is there a flamethrower in hunt showdown

[still totem]

I happened to be in a good position on the map where the people were trying to push into me on the very bottom right point of Mammon, had a peak on the open window. Saw movement, gave them a large explosion

[thin fable]

least wacky weapon

[fleet arrow]

To burn the heretics

[thin fable]

we have a lance that shoots bombs and harpoons

we have a sawblade launcher too

[fleet arrow]

To be fair its a bloodborne inspired weapon

[thin fable]

god I want more trick style weapons

[kindred portal]

Sawblade is what I thought you meant, and yeah

[fleet arrow]

PLEASE

[winter oyster]

你们好

[still totem]

We are also fighting gigantic monsters in the bayou, why WOULDNT we have a flamethrower?

[thin fable]

give me a gun where instead of pressing X to change ammo type, it switches mode from one to another, like the lemat but combined melee or something

[winter oyster]

For the same reason that despite having monsters and zombies and magic, we're never going to see a Tommy Gun in Hunt.

Despite being realistic enough to handwave away, some things just don't belong and can't reach the level of verisimilitude that players expect.
The Flame Rifle does well enough in its design being an 'out there' sort of thing that lets players ignore that it's 20 years too early to exist, but it does ultimately not fit the time period. Some players catch onto that and feel like it's a bad fit.

[winter oyster]

՞˶･֊･˶՞

[still totem]

I had to look up verisimilitude, using them fancy words on me sir

[jaunty patio]

It's the most important word whenever someone throws out the 'but there's magic and monsters in this so why does realism matter' argument

Certain things are way harder to accept in a fictional world than others, so treating it by the way of verisimilitude rather than saying realism gets the point across

[still totem]

In the end, its still a fantasy game fighting monsters in the Louisiana bayou using magic and weird voodoo. Some people like it and some don't

[glacial dove]

I bought a battlepass but why is it asking me to buy it again. lol

[jaunty patio]

Yup, certain additions get peoples hairs up when they've easily accepted even weirder stuff before, just how it happens

[jaunty patio]

You have the option to buy the premium battlepass for the bonus +12 levels even after buying the regular one

[floral depot]

What’s with all the ping abusing Russians

I die before I can even see them

I clip it and see that I’m killed through walls and rocks

[raven totem]

1911 is a great example

[jaunty patio]

Very much so, I bring that one up from time to time

[raven totem]

Not hunt vibes

Flamethrower is fine imo

[jaunty patio]

You can make an argument for the M1911 since its prototype was developed in 1898, but it fundamentally belongs to a different era

[void geode]

c93 no brainer

[still totem]

To your point from earlier, there will always be some liberties taken with suspension of disbelief. But at the very least, they do a good job of making it fit even if its a stretch of the imagination

[jaunty patio]

Agreed, there's very few times I've felt my immersion break, and the core one I remember is based on a new introduction of magic rather than something ahistorical. Though the silliness of some recent hunter additions are close to that.

[fleet arrow]

I mean you also have to pump it every two seconds and its not a one shot so its not outlandish I feel like it fits just right in the grand scheme of things

Its also reasonable from a lore standpoint too consider that maybe just maybe things would be developed at a faster pace weaponry wise if they have to fight hoards of demons and reanimated corpses

wars after all are what push for the development of new technologies at a fast pace when it comes to real life

[jaunty patio]

That's my assumption on why silencers are widespread among hunters

and the slightly expeditied development of the Dolch & Auto-5

[still totem]

That's a good point, never honestly thought of it that way

[fleet arrow]

When people have a reason to think and work fast they usually do

especially in life or death situations

[frank lava]

@torn rampart

...

[jaunty patio]

Though usually that comes from national development programs financed by governments. In Hunt only a few tiny areas are afflicted and development is instead financed by rich benefactors. Which explains why there's so few inventions compared to the amount of regular weapons. In an alternate reality where the whole world was corrupted, we'd have a lot of bizarre designs coming out. Concept art for Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age sorta shows where it could've gone.

[fleet arrow]

Can just imagine early hunters all coming together when the AHA was still a thing and deciding that they wanted ways to kill eachother more safely and started putting cans on their muzzles

[fleet arrow]

Surprised the government in hunt didn't use it as a way to test their own new developing technology.... for gameplay reasons obviously we dont have shrouds of automatic guns but it is interesting to think about

[jaunty patio]

That would definitely be an interesting story to tell. Perhaps offhand accounts about how that's the way it happens with European Hunters, to further reinforce Hunt's Gilded Age theme of American individualism in contrast.

[fleet arrow]

But stunted development also probably has to do in large part with the AHAs slow internal collapse and subsequent breaking once the doctor was killed

Also maybe the fact most people cant survive in the hunting grounds for more than 60 minutes without succumbing to the corruption

[jaunty patio]

That was more of a nod to the in-game timer than a proper fact of the corruption. Since that early mention in the book of monsters, there's been nearly a dozen different examples where people spent hours or days in the hunting grounds without a problem. Perhaps Harold Black is just a bit chicken

[fleet arrow]

Also dont know how people dont go mad when literally travelling to hell and back when opening a rift

[jaunty patio]

I think some very early lore offhandedly mentioned that there's a kind of addicting thrill to plunging into the rifts, and that sort of thing might be why the T3 hunters look diseased despite the innoculation. There's some other kind of corruption that taints them to a degree but can't overtake them

[fleet arrow]

Yeah it gives them a kind of warmth that they become addicted to

But then again they must all be a little mad in the head to willingly risk their life every hunt

[still totem]

Maybe the consistent exposure to attacks from the creatures or some kind of radiation or aura from the overall boss monsters? Probably radiation and aura arent the right words but I cant think of another way to put it

[fleet arrow]

not only facing the demonic corruption but also other hunters

[jaunty patio]

I really like one Researcher's Note about that

RN: I often ponder the fact that what we study are the writings of people who would rather stay in hell than make a short carriage journey. When I try to fathom the excitement expressed in these letters, I fail.

Anyone at any point could sell their gun to buy a ticket out of dodge

[fleet arrow]

Right like hell must be really addicting for these people to come back again and again

Apart from the hunters who have a set reason for joining the hunt

[fleet arrow]

Hell im sure the payout from a bounty or two could be enough for a trip to Arabia

You know the rich benefactors who pay for the pieces of the bosses probably are paying a fair amount

ALSO bring shadow crush back to the circus

[jaunty patio]

Shadow Crush basically got replaced with the tower card

[fleet arrow]

Was talking about that in a match a while back

not upset with the change but shadow crush rocked and you could use it more than once

also didnt set you on fire

[unique trail]

Hello I am playing hunt

[still totem]

Hi playing hunt, I'm Killjoy

[torn rampart]

If you are blocked and banned from a server that I moderate and given reasoning as to why, that does not mean - in any shape, form, or fashion - that it is appropriate to join other servers I occupy and attempt to contact me there.

Your behavior is ridiculous. Leave me alone.

[fleet arrow]

Dang

[still totem]

Indeed

[whole mist]

Just block him 🙄

[mild flower]

Drama 😯 🍿

[whole mist]

What lvl in the pass is the medkit skin?

[jaunty patio]

Presumably he did, never seen cross-server drama before though

[jaunty patio]

[whole mist]

Dang

[still totem]

Reminds me of a server I used to be in a loooong time ago, just a server for a YTer I used to follow. Any time Apex Legends got brought up he would trash the game so hard and me as well, because at the time I loved it. He was a BIG Titanfall 2 fan and omg he would NOT leave me alone about it

[whole mist]

Need to play the game more. Grinded the first week then stopped playing

Want that medkit skin

[winter oyster]

I am currently 53 years old and I want to quickly reach 100 years old. Do you have any suggestions?

[fleet arrow]

I don’t buy the pass till I’m at least half way done with it to make sure I’m not waisting money

[spark plaza]

This is killing me

[spark plaza]

[fleet arrow]

Get as much XP as you can and extract

[tranquil sail]

Jump backwards up a flight of stairs going faster and faster

[fleet arrow]

He’s using an auto translator app for the web version of discord

[still totem]

You cant jump backwards on a flight of stairs, you're just ascending up a different way

[fleet arrow]

So it’s translation is a bit wonky

[tranquil sail]

No?

[winter oyster]

兄弟们，我不理解

[tranquil sail]

Theres no speed limit of going backwards

[winter oyster]

Brothers, I don't understand

[tranquil sail]

So you use the slope of the stairs and momentum to go faster and faster

[fleet arrow]

Collect XP in the game and then extract from the lobby

[winter oyster]

/ᐠ ｡‸ ｡ᐟ\

[atomic coral]

Did this mistranslate "prestige" to "years old"?

[frozen current]

i think its "level"

[fleet arrow]

Yeah his auto translator doesn’t work that well

[winter oyster]

That's too torturous. I don't even want to redeem my experience card now and feel nauseous

[fleet arrow]

Also mandarin just doesn’t translate into English on a 1to1 that great

[lucid berry]

Played arc raiders for few weeks got stale now we back here

[atomic coral]

XP Boons (the envelopes you find on walls).

[winter oyster]

[atomic coral]

I've leveled up prestige once a week this event becasue of XP Boon envelopes letting me get hunters to level 50, then retire them.

[winter oyster]

I am quite addicted to this game. I have only purchased it for over three months and have already played it for over 900 hours

[winter oyster]

I also retired crazily as a level 50 hunter

Until I had two level 50 hunters bitten to death by dogs in a row

I collapsed on the spot

I think my head got hot running around the watchtower

I immediately went to play the high-speed mode on the spot

[tranquil sail]

Man I like this guy

[winter oyster]

By the way, have you purchased the HB charity pack? I know ten DLC's are worth it, but I still want to ask.૮₍ ˶•‸•˶₎ა

[tranquil sail]

I did

[winter oyster]

Is anyone playing on Asian servers? Although I don't understand English, I will buy good equipment

[winter oyster]

How is the quality of firearm skin? I know there are introductions in the store, but it's really troublesome to flip them throughฅ( ̳• ◡ • ̳)ฅ

[frozen current]

wtf

isnt that 10 hour per day for 3 month straight

[tranquil sail]

Let bro grind

[winter oyster]

yes

But I just found a job today, and I won't be able to do this in a day

[frozen current]

im literally retired and i have less free time than you

[ancient cave]

if you scroll down in the channel list there's a section all for playing with people and you can choose the region too. So in #asia you can get friends to play with

I have already started the game, so I won't send any messages, otherwise I will be attacked by my teammates' language

[frozen current]

[winter oyster]

Thank you for your kindness. Although I am not married, I still like women. Thank you

[ancient cave]

this server is good sometimes

[still totem]

This man is so pure

[hardy coral]

Does hunt recognize customs res, i just changed it to 2304x1440p but it's not popping up,

[spark plaza]

You da goat

[winter oyster]

Sometimes it's not

For example, sometimes I bring two blocking crossbows and a flying knife. When I use the flying knife to kill players, I will replace their main weapon with a non attacking crossbow and watch them collapse, becoming a fast solo player

Hehehe

This will make me very happy

٩(๑^o^๑)۶

[twilit rivet]

The UI is so dumb sometimes you end up buying something else because it defaults to some random location.
Feel like they gotta do more testing on it. And why is it annoyingly less responsive.

[winter oyster]

I agree, there are still many vulnerabilities in this game that have not been fixed

[twilit rivet]

Like bushwookies

😆

Those can be fixed every now and then

[winter oyster]

Perhaps their company has good benefits and employees have some temperament

I also started working as a worker at a German owned chemical factory in Shanghai today

To be honest, I don't want to do this, but I don't have any money left

The prices in this rundown place of Shanghai are too expensive, I can hardly afford to eat

[spark plaza]

I understand 🙏

[slate notch]

Dude what the FUCK

I was just playing, game froze, a minute later it unfreezes and I'm dead

it's been freezing randomly all night, but like, only infrequently

[whole furnace]

What are your PC specs?

[slate notch]

Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H (1.40 GHz) and a Nvidia 4060 GPU

not a 5090 mb

but yea i should be running fine??

[sick bramble]

why the fuck did intel change their cpu names

[lavish bear]

Game boons

[desert acorn]

What about a trait to revive down a bar as a solo, with a single hp, if you're burned out? Like, a weaker second necro?

[whole furnace]

Yeah that should run fine.
Just noticed this patch impactded my performance somewhat, so could suspect that lesser PCs would suffer much worse hahah

But you should be fine.

[mortal cove]

What are your settings on that system?

[whole furnace]

Why does people wanna make death cheat for solos all the time lol?

[desert acorn]

Well, necro is kind of a tax. And like a tax, 50 % of it does nothing but make me poorer.

[mortal cove]

On the 4060 mobile the biggest topic will be Vram

[desert acorn]

What I mean is, half the time or more I get burned out with no chance of recovery.

[mortal cove]

Given it‘s for today rather small 8GB Vram buffer

[whole furnace]

Necro is not a tax, it is an insurance for bad luck.
But like for teams, never a guaranteed comeback.

[desert acorn]

Same reason I don't recommend my 5070. Basically does everything I need it to, but with only 12VRAM, it's inferior for local ai models

[desert acorn]

Bad luck doesn't get 3 people killed instantly. It can get 1 killed though

[jaunty patio]

The only thing that would do is change the solo counter to be
-Burn and wait
-Kill if he gets up
-Burn and put trap on to tick the 1hp
And solos would be wasting their time waiting 10+ min just to slink away rather than lose their Hunter. In that time they could be like 60% of the way to a win on a new match instead.

[desert acorn]

Good point

[sick bramble]

does crytek still own the rights to crysis or is it EA?

[desert acorn]

What about combining shadow leap and necro?

[whole furnace]

True, but again, even at the strongest, solo necro was never designed to be a guaranteed comeback.
Don't let me quote the game director of the game again lol

[desert acorn]

I hear you. And I agree. I just wonder if there's some way to make it a little less useless.

As it is, I only ever get to use it consistently if I'm stupid and get killed by mobs

[lofty sinew]

solo is hard. It's supposed to be

[half ruin]

are people saying solo necro isn't strong enough

[jaunty patio]

EA was their publisher for the old Crysis games but Crytek themselves handled publishing the remasters. They fully own the rights.

[desert acorn]

I just finally reached an mmr where I'm matched against duos and trios with lower levels than I am. So I get it.

[sick bramble]

ok i thought it wss EA, that's good then

[whole furnace]

"..it does give solo players specifically a chance to kind of come back from an unexpected angle, in theory at least have like a second or third go.. ..it have questionable practical effect but the theory is there and the potential is there and that's the most important part, a good team will just to make sure that you will not make it up, like they will set you on fire or they will trap you or just somehow ensure that you cannot just come back from an unexpected angle, but you do have a chance to do this now, but it's not going to be a guaranteed revive however"
From the Devil's Moon Dev Live Stream, with lead game designer Dennis Schwarz"
talking about solo necro :)

[desert acorn]

Been playing against higher mmr trios and duos.

[lofty sinew]

is it good? why is it good

they announced they were stopping work on crysis 4 a while ago

[sick bramble]

cuz it's EA

[lofty sinew]

why does it matter who owns the rights to a game that isn't being made

[desert acorn]

The reason I always pay the tax, is because when it does work, and I wipe the server, it was the MVP

[sick bramble]

it's not 100% confirmed that it won't be made

[jaunty patio]

Them retaining the rights means that even if they aren't working on it, nobody else can take the IP and ship it off to some other company to make something that wouldn't fit Crytek's vision.

[sick bramble]

also this

[whole furnace]

So it is working as intended

[unique trail]

Hello I got the daily dark tribute today

[lofty sinew]

I also don't really understand why anyone would care about that, as if crysis was ever anything more than a glorified tech demo for cryengine

[sick bramble]

lol...

[jaunty patio]

It hasn't been worked on for a year and the longer that goes on the more likely it becomes that they'll effectively restart work on it if they ever do choose to make a Crysis 4 in the future.

Especially if they keep updating CryEngine in the meantime

[lofty sinew]

I genuinely don't understand why they would bother

what did crysis ever bring to the genre other than looking pretty?

[jaunty patio]

The original had some pretty nice sandboxy elements to it compared to its contemporary peers, didn't it?

[remote moss]

nanofiber muscle aaaa mfs

[lofty sinew]

when they announced they were stopping work on Crysis 4, my first thought was "why was that even in development"

did it? I honestly don't recall, even if i did play through a chunk of 1 & 2

i don't recall it doing anything original

[whole furnace]

Guess it was either working Crysis or working on Ryse lmao

[lofty sinew]

or more to the point, the impressive things crysis did had nothing to do with gameplay.. which is why i refer to it as a glorified engine tech demo. which is why it spawned the meme it did.

[jaunty patio]

Kinda like how F.E.A.R isn't a breakout hit but it did have stellar AI scripting at the time compared to its contemporaries, or Red Faction Guerilla's destruction. Crysis had enough going for it to be worth keeping around.

[whole furnace]

F.E.A.R. not a breakout hit?

It was popular enough to get two sequels (one much worse than the other thanks to EA)

[lofty sinew]

I thought fear did pretty well and is still regarded as a classic for that specific reason

[jaunty patio]

Wrong definition I suppose, I meant like Cod/Halo level

All of the games did well enough to have a series and be remembered fondly but not enough to be top of their class overall

[lofty sinew]

crysis was not a bad game series. I just can't imagine what 4 would bring to the table that would cause it to sell well enough to justify the development cost

[jaunty patio]

CrySpatial, for one

[sick bramble]

the franchise is famous enough that crysis 4 would easily sell well

[lofty sinew]

I don't agree

[jaunty patio]

They could stand out as an installment if they implemented Hunt's audio system into a single player game and played to its strengths

[lofty sinew]

Also apparently management of Crytek don't agree

[sick bramble]

we can agree to disagree it's fine

[lofty sinew]

or.. they wouldn't have stopped development

[spark plaza]

I mean, remaining stagnant on Hunt and relying on it solely as its only source of game income isn't really a good decision.

[normal kayak]

so my random teammate will not be killing anyone over 20m

[sick bramble]

they stopped due to financial reasons probably?

[spark plaza]

Releasing a new entry from a relatively known series is a safe bet imo

[lofty sinew]

sure can't disagree with that, but a bog sttandard FPS shooter is not going to pull cryteks toes out of the fire

[jaunty patio]

Management of Crytek kinda put that on themselves with how they run the company, it's not like the devs had a shoddy project that was going to sell poorly on its merits

The pandemic bubble popped and expenses started piling up

[spark plaza]

Absolutely yes due to poor decision making

[lofty sinew]

they felt like crysis 4 was a bad bet evidently. Which seems wildly obvious to me

I would not buy a new crysis game

[sick bramble]

hey that's you

[spark plaza]

Who knows? We don't know what the had in store for the newest entry. Regardless they have to try something

[inland stump]

crysis was good imo

unique story with fun gameplay

[spark plaza]

Would also serve as a selling point for the CryEngine as well

[inland stump]

but like after sometime what extra they can do

[lofty sinew]

they have a game for that

it's called Hunt showdown

[spark plaza]

Uh, I don't think anyone who looks at Hunt will see it as a positive selling point for the CryEngine

[lofty sinew]

right, where a pretty single player fps would? what

[whole furnace]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on the other hand.

[lofty sinew]

what you just said makes complete sense to me if you are implying someone who would never evaluate a game engine for licensing because they know nothing about it would say it

[inland stump]

guys what happened to Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age

[jaunty patio]

I bought Hunt 5 years ago entirely because of Crytek's reputation for graphics, I hadn't even played the Crysis games.
People probably would've done similar for Crysis 4, especially since it'd be reaching a new generation that only heard stories. But yeah, their projections likely showed that they weren't going to recoup losses and they were still far enough from completion that it was cheaping to halt development. If they didn't have Hunt, they probably would've kept going just to have a new CryEngine showcase.

[whole furnace]

Also why Crysis4 makes sense, Cryengine is really good at making big play space with a lot of actors (npcs) in it.

[spark plaza]

A bit of a disclaimer on that unfortunately. While, yes it's based on the CryEngine it's ultimately evolved so far from it's effectively a different branch. It's why it's pretty decently optimized as it is.

[inland stump]

star citizen is also cryengine

[whole furnace]

Not anymore

[inland stump]

rip

[spark plaza]

Bro don't even get me started on that, they regretted that decision 😭

[lofty sinew]

why would they have regretted that decision

[whole furnace]

Still CryEngine and honestly it more the reverse, that Hunt is more of an off-brance of the CryEngine to my understanding.

[lofty sinew]

they are on a billion dollars in funding with a literally endless development cycle as a business model

[whole furnace]

Bc CryEngine is not made for MMOs like that.

[lofty sinew]

well, sure thatt seems obvious to me

i can't imagine whatever version of cryengine they were using looked anything like the original

[jaunty patio]

The team that was working on it (Crytek USA) became Gunfire Games because of Crytek's economic problems back in 2014, and took the idea with them where it eventually became Remnant: From the Ashes.

[spark plaza]

It was a pain, long and slow to work with, no to mention expensive . On top of Crytek having to slot many of its CryEngine guru's to its development.

[lofty sinew]

right, i thought you meant they regretted moving away from it for some reason

[sick bramble]

oh didn't know that

[opal kindle]

does the derringer badge work for anyone who uses pennyshot and not the quad one

[spark plaza]

Ultimately Crytek want to gain more marketshare in the engine space, wanting to take from UE especially. That's why making a new Crysis game would be beneficial for them. Not only are they showing the potential to other Devs, they could also receive another potential substantial source of funding from both game sales and game engine licenses fees.

On top of it being a from a relatively well known series, it's a safe bet.

[jaunty patio]

Well, it WAS a safe bet when they started development

[lofty sinew]

they can't do anything about the main reason UE is as dominant as it is

Hunt is already a fine graphical showcase for the engine imho

[gritty sparrow]

oh

i died in my first game

neat!

[lofty sinew]

and that is putting aside the likely stalling of the industry pushing graphical fidelity considering the hardware shortages / prices we are looking at

[lofty sinew]

a proper welcome to the bayou then

[upbeat lark]

my first game is a night hunt

i cant see a thing

needless to say i died but im surprised i hit a few shots considering i havent played any fps before then

i may have used too much springfield

time to try the sparks

[remote moss]

one of the few good side effects

hopefully

[dawn zinc]

Would be interesting to know how long Crytek envision Hunt profiting for them before thinking about developing another game again

[spark plaza]

Unfortunately 💔

[spark plaza]

No but you gotta try something at least

[dawn zinc]

I wish they would branch into more merch for Hunt

[spark plaza]

I don't think they thought they'll get this far honestly

[jaunty patio]

They appear to agree, on the last survey they asked for opinions about merch ideas and had this to say after

[spark plaza]

Hopefully they will start selling blood bonds, hunt dollars, bounty tokens etc 🙏

[jaunty patio]

I'm glad they're thinking about more than just printed shirts 🙏

[spark plaza]

Real

[normal kayak]

should be a feature to click on someone in the end of match details to see my damage history against that person cause i jumpshot a guy with buck 4 times cause i thought it would be funny but im curious on how much damage i did

but i will never know because i lived

[remote moss]

plushie types would go hard

and body pillows would be a funny gimmick

[spark plaza]

Bro?

[remote moss]

im just saying, Ready or Not's judge

[normal kayak]

i want beetle plush

[dawn zinc]

I still have a tiny glimmer of hope that we will get some in depth post game details at some point.
I want to be able to see all my kill/death views, damage report, 2d map, etc

[normal kayak]

tarkov had body pillows too

[remote moss]

thatd make learning p chill, and itd be nice if they broke immersion with a more in depth training range

[normal kayak]

why no corvid brood body pillow?

L

[remote moss]

fr

[dawn zinc]

I know for sure Hunt players are degenerate enough to go crazy for a Lulu body pillow

They freak out over her hands soooo...

[spark plaza]

They mentioned wanting to do that while ago unfortunately no news or updates since then

[remote moss]

i wonder what the most popular one is rn, lulus a victim of lack of accessibility. the new goth dlc, probs?

[spark plaza]

Lulu is so mid too 💔

[whole furnace]

Rotjaw Plush!!!!!

[remote moss]

nah, the lace hands are still one of the best ones to look at

then theres skinflint hands

[sick bramble]

redneck pillow

[dawn zinc]

Each dev update without a mention makes it feel further away from happening but I never lose hope 🙏

[whole furnace]

Was at my friend place yesterday and they got big weighted dragon plushies and ngl would LOVE a rotjaw version of that :')

[jaunty patio]

Reptilian is the most popular non-free Hunter according to Crytek's year wrapped short so let's go with that

[remote moss]

the fucking camo, i hate them all

[sick bramble]

reptilian is cool

[jaunty patio]

I was so surprised that Ghost Face was #5 most popular, and #2 most popular non-free. Sadly collab stunts like that work

[spark plaza]

Nah. Zhuge Liu's hands are the best

[remote moss]

i dont even remember which one his hands are, damn

[sick bramble]

what's #1 non free?

[remote moss]

send pics

[remote moss]

ghost face is at least chill, would prefer it not to be around, but there are worse choices

[spark plaza]

https://youtu.be/RFCe_7g_vMk?si=12Y4cjU5IDlXYGct

[whole furnace]

Oh look, the latest Reptilian merch!

[jaunty patio]

Reptilian, him and Ghost Face are the only ones to make it to the top 5 list. Otis Blackwell and Jesse Buchanan: Veteran are #2 and #1 most popular overall.

Oliver Whitman: Rookie is #4

[sick bramble]

ok that makes sense for those skins honestly

[jaunty patio]

Though the video shows his survivor version?

[whole furnace]

Remember that a shiton of people brought Ghostface to "own the haters" or whatever.
And also, as much as I hate it, it sadly is a pull for the normies.

[sick bramble]

i liked ghost face

[jaunty patio]

The gun skins are admittedly really nice, I was lucky to get the DLC for free in a giveaway so I've got access to em. Still hate Ghost Face with a passion though

[sick bramble]

as a skin, not the collab lol

[whole furnace]

And that's 100% valid :)

[spark plaza]

I need an RDR2 collab

[dawn zinc]

I think Ghost Face was just a good DLC overall.
I love Horror movies but think the art team did an absolutely amazing job putting their own spin on it and keeping it in line with Hunt's aesthetic

[remote moss]

we're missing onmyoji and buddhist monks, rn

[sick bramble]

yes

[remote moss]

id dig them

doesnt have to be too damn fancy, high detail is good but its good to have refreshing options too

[sick bramble]

agree

it fits the theme

[whole furnace]

Don't understand why people likes collabs/crossover so much.

[remote moss]

dead by daylight, its fun playing your favorite characters from other franchises

[jaunty patio]

"My two favorite things together? Hell yeah" sorta mindset

[remote moss]

hell yeah

wesker the shit out of these fucks

[dawn zinc]

And what's wrong with that? I find it harder to see why people hate it so much honestly

[whole furnace]

Yeah, dunno, just dillutes it all and makes it less special.

[dawn zinc]

As long as it doesn't become cartoons and anime nonsense then why is it a big deal?

[jaunty patio]

I'll let Crytek explain to start:

[spark plaza]

It's nice when it fits the narrative and setting. Maintaining the in-game suspension of belief is crucial for games like Hunt.

[turbid dock]

i personally don't have an issue with mentally separating post malone the person, and post malone the character in the Hunt-universe

same with ghostface

[whole furnace]

Also because if I like something from X is it not only the design, but the sum of that product. So putting one character or aspect into Y which I like for other reasons doesn't mean it gonna be better.

[jaunty patio]

"Stay in their respective worlds" is the key part. If they combine, then the host world is no longer their own. It becomes a vessel world for a true IP world. People who don't like collabs don't want to see a beloved IP become a hollow world for other, better IPs to pour themselves into

[dawn zinc]

Well...that makes more sense with those characters and it just being an april fools

[remote moss]

hunts a game that pulled a lot of people for having that unique gritty theme while looking beautiful and doubling as a great horror game in your early hours

aesthetics for days

[spark plaza]

Ghostface followed up by Post Malone truly was one of the biggest fumbles Crytek has ever done

[remote moss]

now the new generation of competitive semi auto & mosin players just be disrespecting our crib, yo

[turbid dock]

no, what

it was literally completely inconsequential, just two (ok four) skins

four skins that all could exist in the world

they've done way harder fumbles than that

[dawn zinc]

That's a fair point. I'd agree if Crytek hadn't already shafted the lore and direction of the game at that point

[turbid dock]

releasing a half baked 1896 was their biggest fumble, they lost so many potential players from that

[jaunty patio]

Sadly you're right. Even if they don't do collabs anymore, it's not like the world is really itself anymore.
That triple punch of axing the lore in August, Ghost Face in October, and Post Malone in December was truly a horrid time for loreheads

[turbid dock]

that was legitimately a huge issue for the health and longevity of the game

collab skins weren't

[jaunty patio]

Also the very tone deaf response to Ghost Face where they basically said "We hear you, collabs are disliked, but we're gonna keep doing them so bear with us :)" cause they knew Post Malone was around the corner

[spark plaza]

Wouldn't say inconsequential, given that the community as a whole was conflicted and divided on both inclusions.

[whole furnace]

Basically this, I love Hunt for Hunt, I love the Scream movie.
But I love them for the individual works of art they are and mixing them just dillutes such.

[ancient cave]

everytime I have to argue against collabs the argument I always see is "theres already zombies and stuff" (worst argument ever btw) and "who cares about the lore"

like damn man, just because a weapon I don't use gets nerfed to the ground for 0 reason doesn't mean I shouldn't care

[turbid dock]

the negative reaction mostly seemed to come from the part of the playerbase that won't stop playing until the game literally shuts down the servers

the ones that, yknow, tend to complain a bit too much about minor things

the redditors

[gritty sparrow]

i shouldnt use my 300 blood bonds to buy hunter slots right?

[spark plaza]

Yeah hence why I said one the biggest fumbles. The undercooked release of 1896 didn't help either and actually added to the disappointment and disillusionment of the community as whole. Hence why you had people calling the were selling out etc

[remote moss]

collabs too profitable too, good money and new player influx compared to bothering vets but only a few vets actually quitting or anything over it?

[remote moss]

nah, youll eventually gain a shit ton from dark tribute

[whole furnace]

Not worth it no. You usually get up to around 10-12 hunter slots for free thru dark tribute.

[dawn zinc]

Not really a good idea. You can if you want but you'll get them over time for free in dark tribute

[whole furnace]

Then it slows down a little

[gritty sparrow]

got it

[ancient cave]

I say this every single time but my big issue with that was the "it's to enrich the narrative" line. Literally lying infront of your face because they just axed the narrative because they know players won't do shit

[gritty sparrow]

being new to this game is confusing and nuts

[jaunty patio]

That's survivorship bias though. Anyone that genuinely hated it enough to leave over it probably wasn't around to complain about it to any visible degree, they're just out. Which happened enough in that time period cause of all the 2.0 issues.

[gritty sparrow]

its like far cry, but the enemies are actually competent

[remote moss]

think there were also a lot of complaints about the lore being generally kinda silly, might've drowned out the few of you that cared about it

[dawn zinc]

Lots of us have thousands of hours and still learn things daily about the game

[whole furnace]

Mjah, Hunt is and especially around the time, was not a big game. Even a small amount of ppl leaving could cause it death spiral hard.

[ancient cave]

the average person who quits is just gonna quit without word. The people who still have hope and want improvement will voice their opinion

especially because if you give any reason you're quiting at all you'll get bombarded with "see you next week lul"

[spark plaza]

Probably not worth it considering the insane plunge in player count that followed afterwards.

[turbid dock]

Survivorship bias would in fact limit our knowledge of players who left because of an issue, but that doesn't mean we can say players actually have left because of it, nor how many. It just means our access to that knowledge is limited and not entirely accessible via reading community sentiment

[gritty sparrow]

everything is like a flashbang to me, mechanics, strategies

[remote moss]

was it really that bad? i thought the problems came from the PM event after a quick boost then 1896 launch failure

[gritty sparrow]

my brain hurts

[whole furnace]

As much as I wanna hate on collaps and wish for them to die.
I don't think that was the primary source of people leaving lol

[remote moss]

chill, if you want to dumb it down for yourself. just play in safe places, punish someone for pushing in the open or an unsafe place. hold angles, never push. play at the effective range of your gun, its chilling

[spark plaza]

It was everything, mainly the failed launch + the already faltering trust the community had

[gritty sparrow]

noted

danke

[whole furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lol-headache-cute-funny-gif-26526333

[remote moss]

ja

[dawn zinc]

It can be overwhelming but enjoy the experience of learning! I still think about my first few hundred hours in Hunt fondly

[gritty sparrow]

hey das me

[ancient cave]

doesn't matter, you shouldn't stand for a company willing to lie to any amount of the playerbase

[spark plaza]

Yeah I agree, I never stated it was but it was definitely a factor in people leaving as well

[whole furnace]

Be brave little fella

[remote moss]

whats worse is that a lot of people are burnt out so theres not nearly as big of a backlash as from back then. having to see PM again, and that joke of a collab whatever with shroud and xq was fuuuck

[spark plaza]

Especially considering what we think of Crytek after these collabs

[turbid dock]

You could potentially even argue that the more complaining you see about an issue, the fewer players have left because of that issue

[gritty sparrow]

danke

hopefully i learn this game

its neat

[whole furnace]

Yeah, do love the two absolutely savage headlines the Ghostface collab pulled lol

[spark plaza]

It's like crack

[gritty sparrow]

really wanna get good with the bow

[ancient cave]

I mean crytek immediately fit into the nicki minaj meme. It was never about nicki herself it was adding a random bullshit celebrity. It's like they were trying to do everything people feared with collabs

[dawn zinc]

I think the Shroud stream was a good idea executed a bit poorly. Should have had him play with an actual Hunt streamer to show Shroud how to play properly

[remote moss]

shroud didnt play that bad tbh

[spark plaza]

Does anyone remember the gaming journalist articles on ghost face being added? Like genuinely what the hell 💔

[remote moss]

he played better than a lot of 6 stars ive seen, but thats not a high bar

[ancient cave]

I remember giggling at it and thats it

[jaunty patio]

Yeah I can agree with that. And you are ultimately right that most people who have a problem with IP-tainting collabs are ones who care enough about the IP that they think it's being tainted, and otherwise want to stick around. Those who are only around for the gameplay might dislike it for being "Too fortnite-y" or something but not really have true complaints to leverage against it.

[whole furnace]

Well fun fact it was Post's team that approached Crytek.
Which is basically a golden goose for grabs.
So I don't blame them.
That said for fuck sake crytek tell that upfront instead of waiting until the second Post event comes around!

[turbid dock]

god i love this community, couldn't have discussions like this in the deadlock server

[remote moss]

crytek PR team built diff. they were all like "nah, we finna eat this bad rep instead of throwing ya boi PM under the bus"

PM is chill, i just dont want to see his fucking face because of what he represents, fr

[ancient cave]

I don't blame them at all. A companies main priority should be money and if they say it isn't they're lying. The issue is there is a billion ways that can go against the players so it's a neverending trust battle

just like they have to strive for the bag, we have to strive for a good experience

[spark plaza]

Having Shroud, who previously already stated his dislike for the game, and xqc who i assume was only there for popularity sake, was not a good idea in principle.

[gritty sparrow]

i absolutely love the gun designs in this game, Revolvers with stocks will never not be cool

[turbid dock]

i assume they both just wanted to meet post malone lol

[ancient cave]

and historically crytek only does something once you riot against them

[turbid dock]

neither of them need sponsor money

[remote moss]

at least they do something

[ancient cave]

crytek absolutely needs money lol

[turbid dock]

yeah i mean xqc and shroud

[ancient cave]

ah

[ancient cave]

yeah I'm not really gonna praise them for doing the bare minimum once you scream at them

[jaunty patio]

Oh yeah I completely missed it, how'd the Post stream go?

[turbid dock]

post carried

[spark plaza]

Pretty meh

[remote moss]

gameplay wise? they werent that bad compared to the avg hunt players

[turbid dock]

Post basically became the IGL and shot caller, it was clear he was the only one who actually had any experience with the game hah

[dawn zinc]

Would have been way better if a Hunt veteran was playing with them honestly

[remote moss]

shroud had the right idea. plays like a normal 6 star. passive, punish the peek while in a good spot. has no idea when to aggress, take position, needed callouts or something by a better player ye

[turbid dock]

both xqc and shroud had some nice aim and positioning though

[spark plaza]

Would've been a way better event had Post interacted and played with other Hunt streamers instead of the popular gamer variety streamers. Felt pretty hollow honestly.

[jaunty patio]

Post Malone is a hunt veteran according to Crytek :^]

[turbid dock]

Yeah i agree, would have been cool to have him play with rachta or neenoh or something like that

[remote moss]

and a hunt veteran, as we all know, is very lacking outside punishing aggressive players

[turbid dock]

him and neenoh would have been a vibe

[raven totem]

Concept art showed ringmaster originally as not post btw

[jaunty patio]

Ultimately it wasn't for us, it was for people outside of Hunt to get a look at it.
It would've been cool to get Post Malone more integrated into the community with other Hunt streamers though

[fringe cloak]

i would have loved to see that

[ancient cave]

maybe it would've helped in the og circus if he did any advertising at all

[remote moss]

ringmaster would've been stronger as their own character, PM would've been solid if he was secondary in the event, a protagonist kinda mf

[dawn zinc]

Post Malone and two hunt streamers would be dope but yeah, the idea was for it to reach players who don't know about Hunt

[spark plaza]

Why Shroud though? He has already shit on the game before, genuinely baffling decision on Cryteks part

[whole furnace]

Without going too much into philosophies, yes money is a factor, but to what degree is always something we should question from an ethical standpoint lol
But yeah, honestly, I don't mind Post Malone in Hunt with 90% of the implementation they did. He is MUCH better that ghostface to me.
That said, if they just had made it: "Post Malone starring in: The Murder Circus" and made him an "actor" for a in-world Hunt character I wouldn't mind it one bit.
Also feels so wasted to not have him at least co-write a song with Port Sulphur Band, but it can imagine the logistics with such is very hard.

[jaunty patio]

Didn't he do a stream last time as well? and then he was the star of the Game Awards trailer for it

[turbid dock]

They should have gotten Summit

[remote moss]

game awards was a joke, no idea what kind of people that event is supposed to interest

[raven totem]

Because he's twitches fps poster boy, he was pretty positive about it so in a way cutting down on the prior complaint?

[ancient cave]

idk about stream, the trailer is a crytek thing imo

I remember looking to see what he himself was doing for the event and I saw like one twitter post or something after the event had already started, maybe he did more. But it felt like he did nothing when for us in the first event the entire event was catered to him and an advertisement for him.

[whole furnace]

Yeee, I know they basically just crammed him in there as quickly as possible. Imagine we could live in a world where we had a crazy looking Sparks Silenced Pistol without 14 fucking PM labels on

[jaunty patio]

Giant viewerbase, and the chances of even a large fraction of his current viewers having seen him shit on Hunt years ago is small enough that it's worth it.

[spark plaza]

They did such a horrible job with that advertisement btw. I genuinely had irl friends of mine ask "Post Malone made a game?? Post Malone game?"

[remote moss]

oh yeah, and only a very certain few of hunts playerbase actually remember shrouds complaints

we still remember that otherr washed ass csgo player touching hunt too, forgot his name but he actually sucked ass

[jaunty patio]

Oh god I saw that in the chat when it was happening live 💀

[ancient cave]

no pls port sulphur is the one part of hunt I haven't bitched about

[fringe cloak]

i agree its kinda odd to have 3 different versions of post in my inventory 😭

[turbid dock]

It's supposed to be game announcements directed towards kinda nerdy gamers, the majority of the audience ends up being not-very-nerdy gamers that are looking for the next AAA announcement and being weirded out by all the indie titles

[remote moss]

hilarious

[dawn zinc]

I can only remember Shroud saying he hated the lowered crosshair

And that it was a hard game

Not necessarily hating the game though

[remote moss]

yeah, i only remember the crosshair thing

[ancient cave]

you're supposed to intentionaly vaguely hype up a game most gamers would love to see come out so you can show them all the trash

[remote moss]

which is fair, i hated it too. one of two things limiting my aim from translating from other fps games

[turbid dock]

I gotta be real, i use centered now, but for a lowered crosshair to bother someone, are you aiming with the edges of your screen?

[remote moss]

nah? but like, it feels vastly different from centered even if you get familiar with it

[whole furnace]

They could literally just have called him August Von Post or some shit like that and it would have landed 100% better with the community lol

[jaunty patio]

Anything so I don't have to pretend it's not literally Post Malone

[whole furnace]

I mean think it would be cool if they made a song with Post 👉👈

[wintry ice]

🤔

[jaunty patio]

Green flames, don't worry about it

[wintry ice]

ohhhh ok gotcha

[fringe cloak]

yeah i feel like there was a better way to handle it but i dont think its the worst thing in the world anymore esp seeing as they didnt do any other colabs other then this pt2 of the circus since the first one

[whole furnace]

Yeah, I also think it in lines with how people wanted a Ractha skin or David skin in the game.
Ofc it was not that they wanted those people AS them in Hunt, just their likeness for a character.

[remote moss]

we do have a fiffield skin

hes literally the father christmas guy, lol

[jaunty patio]

Aptly named too

[remote moss]

and you know, thats a damn good character

[spark plaza]

Wait, who wanted a David skin?

[remote moss]

its him, but its not him in a way that makes you wanna gouge your eyes out

lol

with respect to that fucker

[dawn zinc]

I think for people used to FPS games it could be jarring.
There was a video that showed how going from hip fire to ads was much better when centred

[whole furnace]

Think they still wanna do it, just not gonna be as easy as posty landing on their door step lol

[turbid dock]

Back before 1896 people liked Father Hunt

[whole furnace]

Before he drew ire

[ancient cave]

the character I most closely resemble is ochenkovs widow it's like looking into a mirror

[remote moss]

damn, you got nasty braces?

[ancient cave]

that used to be like THE most popular redditor thing to jokingly ask

[jaunty patio]

When he was initially appearing in vids people did call him Bayou Santa

[remote moss]

it makes your jaw weak in the end btw, so avoid getting into fistfights with your face

braces are bs

[fringe cloak]

i doubt its the last we will see of colabs either its just its not gonna be common at all

[spark plaza]

Yeah I remember people thinking we was Hunts next saviour but not to the point they wanted him in game lol

Holy glaze

[whole furnace]

But that is my point, that people don't mind these people integrated as likeness for a hunter.

[fringe cloak]

hopefully they handle them better too

[spark plaza]

Ah, reddit, makes sense now

[remote moss]

yeah, i hope they can change back to that route in the future

[turbid dock]

i dont remember it as glazing as much as it was lighthearted

[fringe cloak]

i think it would be a much better way of doing colabs

[turbid dock]

he was just the friendly face of hunt at the time

Hunt's very own Jeff Kaplan

[whole furnace]

Don't think we gonna get another event collab anytime soon, think they'll focus on DLCs again.

[spark plaza]

Dennis is and will forever be my goat

[remote moss]

Never forget. They gave into to the goth look for DLC

[whole furnace]

That said, xQz casino/gambling event would be funni for the memes lmao

[dawn zinc]

Didn't everyone lose their shit when they learnt that david dude came from CoD? And we've barely seen him since lol

[remote moss]

All your tastes will be eventually satisfied by a specific hunter

maybe

[ancient cave]

when john victor came out ingame they didn't make a whole thing about "the fucking uhhhhh witcher guy is in game now! that's right we got THE witcher guy come get 20 skins with his name on it"

they made it a unique character using a person they know could play a cool character and kept it at that. I'd be fine with PM voicing a character that didn't have his name or anything mainly because I wouldn't know who he is then

[spark plaza]

That mostly came after the 1896 release

[remote moss]

theres always a fall guy. PMs just the current one

[jaunty patio]

People knew about that from the start, it was after 2.0 that he faded into the background, it just got brought up more at that point cause of the UI comparisons and generally wanting something to blame.

[remote moss]

1896, fucking so close to being amazing

[ancient cave]

they made that hunter to specifically torture me with all the people calling her goth

[spark plaza]

"so close", bro you ain't gotta lie like that 😭

[remote moss]

another year in development and it wouldve been a great event to boost hunt

another year is pocket change to me

[remote moss]

im sorry we're all calling her the local goth

[turbid dock]

they could have baked it for like, half a year longer, maybe a year idk. They probably could have cooked it faster than they did after release if they didn't have to spend time on event content, but people were also kinda yearning for the big update around then

[spark plaza]

My brother in Christ, till this day we're still fixing the UI. That thing needed to be cooked for way longer

[ancient cave]

my favorite crytek moment was when the community was in full harassment against David saying he was changing how the game was that they changed bullet pen and decided to say it was just a bug since launch they never got around to fixing till now

[turbid dock]

imagine if hunt players had to go 6 more months without a major event or content update

[remote moss]

i dont mind going back to the old days, event spam is nice but not the main reason i come back to hunt. i come back to hunt at start of events cause its when all the good players come back to the game

[winter mantle]

Real

[ancient cave]

yes but the point is why did it come out the way it did when it had already been delayed I think more than once

[winter mantle]

That being said I suck at this game lmao

[ancient cave]

you make your own deadlines plz meet them

[jaunty patio]

The lineup of events really could've been great if they stuck the landing on each of them. Imagine a world where 2.0 is bugfree and clean UI, they get 60k peak players from the free weekend, more of whom actually stick around to try out the new game mode around the corner and get excited for Ghost Face, then top it off with the biggest event Hunt had ever done at that point. It was a pretty well planned stretch

[turbid dock]

as the great gabe newell said

[remote moss]

had a 15 loss streak just three or so days ago, me too

[turbid dock]

these things, they take time

[whole furnace]

David was 100% the fall guy for 2.0 Hunt.
Some ire was already brewing up before hand, but 2.0 was the powderkeg that exploded.
If the anger towards him is justified or not, we cannot really know if all bad of "modern hunt" was his doing, but it sure seem like Crytek's upper management leaned into it and threw him under the bus regardless.

[dawn zinc]

2.0 launch could have been waaaaay better but I also believe it will always be hard for Hunt to hold a big player base. People say we could have 60k players pr whatever but most people drop the game because it's tough as nails

[ancient cave]

who was the CM that left crytek and then called out upper managment

[turbid dock]

thats true, but we probably could have kept at least a few thousand more if the experience was actually smooth

[winter mantle]

I’ve never gotten it THAT bad holy

I think my longest loss streak is Like 6

[spark plaza]

Disagree, Hunt was holding steading with 30k daily player base without an event. 1896 should've been the catalyst to launch the game into a new level of popularity.

[remote moss]

Just you wait. You'll join me someday, and we can suffer together

[whole furnace]

Eh, think Hunt in past could be a 50-60k players if it just worked well.
But nowadays, while the game is running MUCH better, I do think it is more diluted in its selling point, so reaching 50-60k is gonna be a little more hard fought.

[winter mantle]

I’d be down

[remote moss]

i had to rephrase, im sorry for baiting you

my laptops too fucked to play hunt rn, otherwise id be grinding

[winter mantle]

Literally crying rn

[remote moss]

im a master at that, anyway

[winter mantle]

ETA on when you’ll be back in action

[ancient cave]

we retained just as much people after 1896 as we did beforehand because new players joined and were handed something on life support

[jaunty patio]

It's interesting how despite being the social fallguy, Fifield is still around and Scott Lussier quietly left instead around the time of the layoffs. Perhaps internally Crytek had a different sense of who to blame.
Or maybe it's just coincidence and they left on good terms, honestly I dislike dev drama like that, feels weird to start looking into people rather than treating companies as collective entities to direct feelings at.

[remote moss]

idk, lol

[spark plaza]

We were doing so good pre 2.0, damn...

[winter mantle]

[turbid dock]

I have wondered if Hunt maybe already has saturated the market of possible Hunt players

[remote moss]

nah, hunts still relatively unknown even with the collabs. theres always unsuspecting teens we can pull

[turbid dock]

hmm

kinda true, very few people i meet irl have heard of hunt

[remote moss]

it shows up pretty high in the first few pages whenever it goes on sale

but you still have to look for it when youre browsing fps games

and the 50% discount is still rough when the games still almost $20 for an old fps game

[spark plaza]

Hunt is literally never mentioned at all lol

[whole furnace]

Yeee, one thing is for sure, Crytek read the room and tucked David away from public appearances.
Don't think we could have a single somewhat normal dev stream if he still was shown sadly.
Not to say that Cryteks Dev streams ain't just 99% chat being insane spewing stupid accusations and yelling about issues that is most likely their own skill issue cope lol

[dawn zinc]

Still think the onboarding for new players could be rough. I wonder how many people buy the game, get DESTROYED in quick play and just refund the game

[jaunty patio]

Only time I hear it mentioned in the wild is in the context of extraction shooters as a genre

[remote moss]

99% of the og PM stream were from white girls screaming "NOTICE ME, PM, NOTICE ME"

was funny

[whole furnace]

That is pretty funni

[remote moss]

more like 80% if we're being realistic but lol

[turbid dock]

I do see it mentioned from time to time, but only if the topic is about something specific like extraction shooters, or game audio, or something like that

[dawn zinc]

Like for someone buying the game with no friends who play the game. The beginner period of Hunt is crazy

[winter mantle]

That is very true

[spark plaza]

Yeah I see it spoken about in videos speaking about the genre as a whole and even then it gets shafted by Tarkov lol

[remote moss]

its also hard to market hunt to competitive fps players. you can show crazy teamplay, strats, and aim from a game like siege but

watching peak hunt content is "held an angle with dolch and farmed him"

[dawn zinc]

I originally played with my partner and a friend who both dropped the game because it was hard and I couldn't play it alone. Took me ages to come back and learn to play solo or with randoms

[remote moss]

or you ran around with a shotgun then held angles and waited for someone to peek

very very hard to market that

[turbid dock]

hmmmm

[remote moss]

in siege, holding an angle doesnt feel nearly as boring and low-depth as hunt

especially when quickpeeks and jigglepeeks farm angle holders, outside super tight pixel shit

[jaunty patio]

That was me with two of my friends, they lasted like a week or two then jumped off, and 5 years later I'm STILL playing random trios

[turbid dock]

i think almost every rachta video has at least one fight showcasing crazy gunplay that could entice some nerds

[whole furnace]

I wonder if Crytek should start to do "Return to Hunt" campaigns like MMOs do.
So if you haven't played Hunt in like 6 months, you can earn a little sack of BB if you play 10 matches or so.
Just for the love of god, do it MID EVENT, not next up to a big event, bc otherwise we can just have a 2.0 all over lmao.

[spark plaza]

No this is just high 6* gameplay vro

[winter mantle]

Idk if I could ever play this game with randoms

[remote moss]

wait, youre right. peak hunt content is when people are always actively trying to do something

im just jaded from my years of suffering as a mosin crutcher

[spark plaza]

Mosin comfort user 😔

[remote moss]

i lied, i crutch semi auto

but still the same thing
