hunt-general

[merry gate]

It's not fun I would rather use a crossbow than the hunting bow.

[terse sleet]

takes times to master it but come on m

you can 100% hit shots / get kills with it without sitting in a bush / camping

[astral moss]

Yeah so playing a stronger weapon is fine since its not a bow ?

[merry gate]

I don't want to hold down and release for my damaging attack thanks.

[terse sleet]

the thing is you don’t

you can almost half charge a bow or just lightly tap it and get that sweat 1 tap

[merry gate]

I do not care I would rather it be any bow challenges instead of just the hunting bow.

[steep orchid]

I just met worse 5* ever. Reviving me with necro when enemy literally camping near my body😭

What he expecting

[mild quiver]

Honestly bow needs a buff, if you get a hit marker with bow they should die instantly

[terse sleet]

unfortunately that’s how a lot of people play

[astral moss]

Bait showdown.

[mild quiver]

bow should have increased strafe speed as well, think about how much lighter a bow is compared to a gun

[steep orchid]

It wont help situation whatsoever

It just send someone to another death

[terse sleet]

And yknow what’s the even better part, is you just have to find a bow user and they can do it for you

if they’re on ur team C:

[mild quiver]

Just think about irl getting hit by a arrow, you would not be able to fight back its insta win

needs to be balanced around that philosophy

[merry gate]

I play with 2 friends and nobody uses the bow but I love the crossbow steel bolts so I would genuinely rather use that

[mild quiver]

It just is not strong enough its current state

[quartz gust]

tbf if i got shot in the foot i wouldnt be able to fight back

[steep orchid]

If you get hit by arrow irl

Its 1shot

[terse sleet]

see i’ve actually have had long range fights and i tell my friends to just hit me with necro even if i die, they do it and get an instant location of the guy shooting

[mild quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/bifrost-bifrost-wallet-bifrost-meme-crypto-meme-crypto-gif-386066883736892728

[astral moss]

Mmmh, no ?

[terse sleet]

a bow irl?

[steep orchid]

He was near. He knew since we on intense fight with 2 team

[terse sleet]

dude some bows can shoot an arrow 400 yards

[clever condor]

Depends where you're hit.

[steep orchid]

Why not getting shot by arrow then say that again

[astral moss]

Yeah if its not on vital point the arrrow wont do sh*t.

[terse sleet]

and some arrow heads are prongs that decapitate animals, imagine you got shot with that and it just prongs open inside of you

[mild quiver]

If bow does not do 15 billion damage on a hit marker its under powered

[astral moss]

Would hurt for sure but you arent gonna die.

[mild quiver]

You cant fight back with a arrow sticking out of you

its just facts

[astral moss]

Depend sticking from where.

[terse sleet]

nah it’s funny cause you can run up to them and pull it out and it’s an kill

[clever condor]

It depends where the arrow hit, what kind of arrow, what kind of arrow head.

[mild quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-ackchyually-actually-gif-11156171

[clever condor]

There's a ton going on with it.

[terse sleet]

how much damage do you need to do

[astral moss]

Yeah i know you are trolling dont make it that obvious.

[mild quiver]

Trolling? Im being dead serious the bow needs a buff

[astral moss]

Bait used to be beleivable.

[terse sleet]

tbh i think the bow is good where its at

sometimes i’ve hit shots where im like yeah seems to be a killing shot but meh

[astral moss]

Same, its not even the best CQC weapon.

[terse sleet]

hundred hands makes the bow ridiculous

[mild quiver]

slander

[terse sleet]

if you play against someone good with the bow then yeah hard to play / contest them

[terse sleet]

not really it increase your 1 tap capabilities by 4-6 meters

[astral moss]

In a compound bow or romero its the same idea.

[mild quiver]

If youre taking real life into consideration the bow is severely under powered, especially poison arrows

[terse sleet]

and you can almost still 1 tap someone from 30 meters out with it

[mild quiver]

If you get hit with a poison arrow and you dont have antidote you would be dead irl

Its clear logic

[astral moss]

Who even do that.

[mild quiver]

Bow needs a buff

[terse sleet]

well it’s a game, and “real life” were modern bows now are more stronger than bows then

[terse sleet]

i’ve 1 tapped many with the bow from far out

[astral moss]

Idk, being stuck to walk speed in a medium range fight doesnt sound good to me.

[terse sleet]

tbh if you’re pushing with the bow you’ve already lost a fight most of the times unless you’re certain it’s safe

[mild quiver]

Imagine how much more nimble and agile you would be with a light wooden bow compared to carrying a heavy metal gun

[terse sleet]

it’s better to let people push you when you have it

[astral moss]

Lol why ?

[mild quiver]

It does not make any sense that bow is limited to base movement speed

Should move faster logically

[astral moss]

Its a shotgun you are supposed to push.

[merry gate]

did you not just tell me you don't have to camp with bow

[terse sleet]

because they’re comfortable in a concealed location, can be holding head glitches etc, lol say you do that and miss that first shot you can turn into a corner with multiple people holding that angle

[terse sleet]

i mean you don’t have to, i’m referring to open fights not indoor fights, i sent a clip with me moving around and swinging corners

[astral moss]

You can have this problem with any cqc weapon, that's why dont take the big door for pushing.

[last flame]

I may not have a brain gentlemen, but I have an idea...

[terse sleet]

but thinking me saying let people push you correlates to camping i can already see why you’re having a terrible time

[merry gate]

I'm having a terrible time with a weapon I dislike brother

I do not enjoy how it operates

[astral moss]

Nah you just waiting for someone to be bored and staying in a stalemate.

[fringe dirge]

4 business years reloading damn

[merry gate]

I would rather not use it

[terse sleet]

you can legit maneuver and be confined in a space and still have be in the upper hand lol

[astral moss]

Like you can be agressive with bow.

[terse sleet]

as you saw in my clip i was chilling and they pushed me and i swung and won the fight

[astral moss]

Its even meant to.

[terse sleet]

the thing i love about the bow is in close quarter fights it’s faster than most pistols

[uneven flax]

crossbow is insane in cqc esp if there's a lot of covers

[fringe dirge]

literally a shotgun that shoots sticks change my mind

[uneven flax]

its faster than any romero

has more utility and ammo than any romero

[terse sleet]

legit takes like .8-1 seconds to full draw after each shot

[astral moss]

• better range with steel bolt.

[uneven flax]

and u have stealth option outside

[merry gate]

I literally just got a double kill with a crossbow, I wish it counted for this lame challenge

[uneven flax]

shotguns are garbage outside

[terse sleet]

so here’s my advice just put it in the feeds and see if people agree with you

[astral moss]

Steel bolt is a joke btw, like why even take base bolt.

[terse sleet]

tbh i think crossbows need a bit tweaking

[fringe dirge]

slugs maybe, but they can be... rough not upclose

[void vessel]

what graphics settings causes rendering to be so slow and terrible? Sometimes i cant see peoples torso and everyone looks like a ghost

[quartz gust]

i agree tbh. crossbow/bow counting for the same is the same as family variants counting. cus its a very different experience using say, a sparks sniper and a sparks pistol for "sparks" damage

[terse sleet]

like how is a shot bolt penetrated with like 200 muzzle velocity, and does around 496 damage then steel bolts do 260ish dmg with bleed/ whilst regular doesn’t do that much damage

let alone have less muzzle velocity whilst it’s a lighter arrow

[quartz gust]

because its a shotgun shell detonating whilst pressed against your body?

[last flame]

I'm bringing ambidextruous

2 business years

But it's always faster to die than reload

[fringe dirge]

was about to type this

[terse sleet]

okay so should every regular buckshot do 496 damage?

[quartz gust]

see point blank any number above 150 doesnt matter

its still a oneshot

[gloomy shoal]

What kind of PC and hard drive do you have?

[void vessel]

hard drive matters? Running and old 2070 gpu

[terse sleet]

i can show you clips where i’m point blank and a guy hits me 4 times with a crown and king and loses the gun fight

[last flame]

It is a game where people come from the dead and we have x-ray if it was a curse so i don't expect ballistics to be realistic

and we gather clues from dark bird nests

[astral moss]

Then he just miss you.

[terse sleet]

nah i just have plot armor

[astral moss]

[terse sleet]

i had a guy clip it and named the clip the legend of cyprus

[merry gate]

This exactly, different experiences and I just dislike one of them a lot

[terse sleet]

tbh i’m good with both bow n cross bow

[astral moss]

Honnestly i dont play any of the 2, its a bit too slow.

[gloomy shoal]

For this game, your hard drive, processor, and video memory are important. An NVME SSD and 12 GB of video memory are recommended.

[terse sleet]

but honestly i see nothing wrong with it, there’s many challenges asking you to use a certain gun / weapon

[quartz gust]

clearly most of each shell didnt hit. if you land the shotbolt all of the shell hits. it maybe shouldnt do massively more because yknow shells detonating outside of a chamber and barrel lose pressure, but if you take away limb 1taps you lose half of the point of bringing shotbolts

[quartz gust]

okay did i miss something? did someone ask if their pc was good enough or something?

[astral moss]

Shotbolt one shot even if you hit the toe.

[dry hawk]

bro is strapped like its 1750

[gloomy shoal]

Yes. The textures aren't loading for someone there.

[clever condor]

Shotbolt really oneshots? Never got that to happen for me.

[quartz gust]

if it lands, its supposed to always. since the damage isnt from the projectile its the shotshell going off

[astral moss]

Did you try to hit hunter with it ?

[quartz gust]

which means it keeps its small wallbang potential at all ranges

pretty funny if someone's hiding on the floor above you and their coat dangles through...

[dry hawk]

pay to lose there tbh

[quartz gust]

lots of standard hunters have the same issue iirc

pretty much anyone with a duster or trenchcoat

[dry hawk]

yea thats like half the hunters

[astral moss]

Good skin = absolute win anyway.

[quartz gust]

free hunter op???

[terse sleet]

i see ur feedback thingy LOL.
Bro there’s challenges that ask you to USE a SPECIFIC gun / weapon like today i got asked to use the Rival 78, Ranger and deal damage with quad or penny shot derringer

i don’t think they’ll remove the bow, but uh goodluck buddy xd

[quartz gust]

you sure? i havent had one of those yet

[terse sleet]

yeah the ones you get when you’re not level 10 yet HAHA

[astral moss]

Since its fine, they wont.

[quartz gust]

it always asks for "any variant of: krag" etc

[terse sleet]

oh yeah

i’d turn on my console and show you but i’m too comfortable to crawl out of bed tn

[quartz gust]

so far i've had krag, ranger, romero and nagant pistol

hunting bow is also this week, and its so far my only specific one

i also find it a pain btw, but i just conc wire people's hiding spots and stuff

[merry gate]

You told me to use feedback why are you trying to clown it being used?

[astral moss]

When avto challenge ?

[quartz gust]

slowly getting trickles of damage that way

[steep orchid]

so i tried shotgong for first time. after get killed by it so many times

holy shit

soo much fun in close range fight

[terse sleet]

well i’m just saying LOL but yeah best thing to do is use feedback and pray they’ll change it for u and many others who struggle with the bow C:

[terse sleet]

run that terminus with levering bro

[steep orchid]

[merry gate]

Who don't want to use it*

[terse sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-gif-24341837

i once got levered by a dragons breath terminus this was me

[quartz gust]

another option is just grub around towers and hope you find a box of frag arrows

[astral moss]

[quartz gust]

then the fun begins :D

[terse sleet]

yeah get u some frag arrows

[astral moss]

Spam this compound.

[terse sleet]

alright let me give u a tip, go into clash grab ur bow, grab a hand cross bow grab some blanks and chaos bolts

[quartz gust]

before it got made scarce, i sometimes went quad frag and just artilleried for my team. had a buddy run fire control with a beetle

[terse sleet]

be a bush wookie, start a fake fight, random comes running to you, u kill them

boom ur challenge is done

[merry gate]

I don't need tips brother I do not WANT to take a bow

[terse sleet]

then suffer not being able to do the challenge

okay check this out i got another tip for u

go into feedback this time, And tell them to have a feature where U CAN SWAP OUT CHALLENGES

[quartz gust]

didnt they used to let you do that?

in like, version 1 or 2 of the challenge system

[terse sleet]

BOOOM, now that’s a master piece of a plan shiii

[quartz gust]

i remember the grid looking one being re-rollable, am i going insane?

[terse sleet]

man idk i just came back yknow, i was around when revive bolts where around

good times hahah

[merry gate]

this is correct

[quartz gust]

i do not miss revive bolts

[astral moss]

Same.

[terse sleet]

man i was reviving my homies from 80 meters out with those

[quartz gust]

they're okay if the user isnt a madman but so many times if you get caught crossing a gap and died, you'd just get ressed and farmed

[astral moss]

Was the best mistake of game design of the years.

[terse sleet]

lemme tell u im a master with bows and crossbows

[astral moss]

Arent you console ?

[odd ibex]

PTY LOOKING FOR MATES TO PLAY

[quartz gust]

projectile drop is the same everywhere man

[quartz gust]

#eu

[astral moss]

I know but the aiming part ?

[quartz gust]

yeah i still dont see the issue if you're aiming at something that is flat on the floor :D

[astral moss]

Lol yeah bow work good against afk player too.

[quartz gust]

and velocity on cross/bow is pretty slow so if they're 30m or more out, its kinda gamba if they're moving and you hit

[terse sleet]

what’s that gotta do

[clever condor]

ye torso shot

[astral moss]

Yeah that's why i am wondering, like hitting à bow from 25m+ on console.

[terse sleet]

tbh i feel like once you’ve used and master a bow ur sorta just good with the 65 carbine subsonic supressed

[quartz gust]

or fmj

[terse sleet]

used to had having anything lower than 400 muzzle, other than pistols ofc, but once i got hours on the bow i’ve been snapping heads

[quartz gust]

holy postal service thats 218m/s

[terse sleet]

with the 65 supressed fmj or subsonic

[quartz gust]

fmj

sub is a tiny bit faster

[quartz gust]

which BTW

is SILLY

because anything under 330m/s is already subsonic

like, the 65 suppressed should be sub by default and you have to put HV in

[terse sleet]

okay hear me out i get the drilling is good

but the whole dumdum tanking its muzzle form 530 to 371 is absurd as hell even with fmj

[quartz gust]

yeah

its a weird outlier in medium bleed/fmj, no other rifle loses that much

[terse sleet]

like you can’t tell me a springfield with 133dmg fast fingers goes from a 490 to a 440

[quartz gust]

theres a balancer though. pax trueshot only loses 5ms

idk how or why

[terse sleet]

and even wild is its shorty version doesn’t drop under 400 with dumdums either

[mild quiver]

True shot is a outlier when it comes to velocity difference with special ammo

[quartz gust]

isnt the springshorty 390 with bleed?

i mean, same difference if it is

[quartz gust]

well, the drilling is also an outlier

just in different directions

trueshot loses less, and drilling loses more

[mild quiver]

Not really, pax only loses 5 ms with fmj and dum dum

no other weapon is as non affected by special ammo type as true shot

[quartz gust]

its probably late

i forgib your non reading comp

[dry hawk]

lemat is pretty unaffected

at least the carbine

[mild quiver]

You're the one who does not understand, pax true shot is a outlier in the sense that special ammo does not reduce its velocity in a meaningful way

[quartz gust]

yes, and i said the drilling is also an outlier

but in a different direction

it loses more

[dry hawk]

lemat carbine fmg loses like 20ms

more than trueshot but much less than other weapons

[mild quiver]

Its literally not tho because a lot of guns get significantly reduced velocity

[last flame]

It's over for Abraham Lincoln

[quartz gust]

none as much as the drilling, it loses 160. cent loses 60. most guns lose about 60

some lose less, like 40ish (lemats)

and some pistols only lose 30

without adding something funky like a suppressor into the mix, the drilling has the single biggest velo loss

but. its small version doesnt

[mild quiver]

For example mako loses 135ms for equipping fmj

Pax true shot loses 5ms for fmj and dum dum making it a outlier

[terse sleet]

i mean literally no difference at all

[quartz gust]

yeah lol i added that :D

[mild quiver]

springfield is 440 with dum dum

[terse sleet]

that’s like a 40-50ms from just standard rounds

[terse sleet]

we’re talking about the shorty

[mild quiver]

Ok than yea idk then

[uneven flax]

got 3 death cheats in a row, level 1-50 hunter in a row, and i lost once in the last 6-8 games

[mild quiver]

who tf use springfield shorty lol

[uneven flax]

i can now retire

i can die in peace

[terse sleet]

my highest kill game was 20 what about yall?

[uneven flax]

mine's like 7 or something

[quartz gust]

its really good with fast fingers and bleed, tons of pressure and if they think you're not ready to fire cus they heard a springy, boom

[terse sleet]

i don’t have the SS anymore this was like right after the first malone event before the garden of the witch

like in between those 2 events

[storm pebble]

welcome to 6 stars twin

[astral moss]

I dont let people revive so 9 i would say.

[uneven flax]

plus 2 slot and deadeye. Springfield shorty is a strong budget build.

[terse sleet]

me i love running lobbies with wacky builds

[uneven flax]

youre saying its easier in 6*

[storm pebble]

12 ✌️

[storm pebble]

nope, only worse

[quartz gust]

im not sure a deadeye scope is really needed for weapons 400 and under. irons zoom is plenty enough

[uneven flax]

im only 4 stars. i hope i dont get to 6 because honestly 80% of the games i just get carried. id have a lot of 0-1 kill games with 0-2 assists.

[quartz gust]

like winnie, vetterli and henry marksman i look at them and im like "you only exist for HV ammo, dont you?"

[storm pebble]

6 star wins are more so "Wait for the 3 other teams to kill each other then come in and kill whoever remains after the fight just concluded"

[mild quiver]

haymaker fmj loses 155 btw so its really not a outlier

mako loses 135 ms

[terse sleet]

i had older gentlemen with me i wish i could clip vc audio they were screaming and hollering during this

[mild quiver]

pax true shot loses 1.25% of its ms making it a outlier, as I said

[quartz gust]

okay i get that you went digging through the game to prove me wrong, bravo you did. but both of those numbers are smaller than 160, AND both of those weapons are newer than the drilling

[mild quiver]

for fmj and dum dum*

[quartz gust]

👏

[mild quiver]

Do you know what it means to be a outlier?

[quartz gust]

im done with the subject tbh

yay, you won

[terse sleet]

nah man i’m just here to chat n play hunt

[quartz gust]

lets move on

[storm pebble]

stg drilling with dumdum aint worth it to me anymore

[uneven flax]

and most of them are meta slaves. pass.

[storm pebble]

its like 370 something mv

[uneven flax]

i enjoy my mid builds

[quartz gust]

lmao i feel like it never was from the beginning yo

[terse sleet]

extremely terrible ngl

[storm pebble]

EVERYBODY and their mother uses it

[quartz gust]

drilling shorty with bleed? yes please

thats a pistol with extra steps

[storm pebble]

yeah I feel like thats more worth it

[storm pebble]

and a shotgun

[terse sleet]

with a hatchet too

yeah count me in

[uneven flax]

youd wish you have a deadeye when the entire place has too much folliage.plus easier to pop heads with deadeye

400 is whatevs if you are good at lining up shots. Springfield still has good drop range anyway

[quartz gust]

eeeeh. i like the faster reload of the non-hatchet

[terse sleet]

i just run drilling w HV but if it’s shorty gimme my dumdums

[quartz gust]

oh ya 100% personal choice i just dont really find it helps me

like i see plenty fine with irons zoom, cus its crazy compared to most other shooters

that stuff that they inject to give you dark sight must upgrade your eyeballs from MK1 to MK2 or something

[uneven flax]

defo. Deadeye is just a preference thing VS irons. But there's definitely times where you need to do maximum focus to see enemies behind foliage with just irons

[quartz gust]

i have tism that does that for me

[uneven flax]

while with deadeye/bullseye it's not that hard

[quartz gust]

slightly off-shaped bush
AHA

[terse sleet]

yeah the autism with the enhanced hearing is like a cheat code

[quartz gust]

for real

[uneven flax]

there's a reason no one's putting deadeye on sparks

because no one will run martini or springfield anymore

[terse sleet]

woah don’t be rash the springfield goat

[quartz gust]

well thats cus that would actually be goated since the sparks can be used at ranges where scopes are good

[terse sleet]

he’s gone

[quartz gust]

i honestly thought the berty deadeye was a mistake when it got added, like what a long ammo rifle that can be used medium OR long range?

[uneven flax]

stop staring at his ass

[terse sleet]

yknow the chef has a tasty ass

if only it was lilith in my scope

[uneven flax]

i have 3 hunters stashed with death cheat. im gonna be eating good tonight boys

[plucky spruce]

Anyone down to play? 2-3 star ?

[terse sleet]

me when lilith

[uneven flax]

https://tenor.com/view/yummy-so-goat-tongue-out-cute-goat-gif-8477772860474548639

[terse sleet]

[uneven flax]

me when lilith and luz mala

[terse sleet]

is that a lilith

[storm pebble]

I think I got like 7 hunters with deadcheat rotting away

[dry hawk]

its not really about the zoom for me, the scope just gives you a clear sight on your target

[plucky spruce]

Anyone?

[uneven flax]

!lfg

[graceful hedge]

[storm pebble]

cause I just play fresh hunters until my hunter slots are filled with leveled ones

[plucky spruce]

Yes I tried that

[uneven flax]

plus deadeye has minimal zoom, it still feels like irons

[storm pebble]

Son nobody is at 2-3 stars 😭✌️

[plucky spruce]

Hasn’t been updated and im not sure how to work it..

[uneven flax]

stop. i was 3 stars until 250h

[plucky spruce]

Obviously I just got on

[quartz gust]

its like. 7-8-9 am in europe, and late in the US

on a workday

[storm pebble]

I got to 6 in my first 50 hours... 😭

[uneven flax]

it took me 3-10 single player games worth to reach 4 stars

[uneven flax]

but i have a job and a car

[terse sleet]

homie run w randoms

[storm pebble]

I work saturdays and go to college son ✌️

[uneven flax]

but i have a son, son

[quartz gust]

but check their gear first! if you dont see chokes they dont care about teamwork

[plucky spruce]

It takes like 10-15 to find a game with randoms

[terse sleet]

lock in bro get ur son on the game son

[uneven flax]

my son just flushed down the toilet this morning

[terse sleet]

what u play on / server?

[storm pebble]

I could play with you (In about 9 hours that is)

[terse sleet]

oh hell no, i got the joke

[uneven flax]

@plucky spruce OCE? If you upside downer or green fruit you need to play in Asia or US West

[plucky spruce]

Pc NA west

[terse sleet]

oceania the server them shady mnk players over on console go to, too boost their stats

[uneven flax]

OCE players should not play in OCE. It's dead as fuck

[terse sleet]

shooot i feel like NA east always the most active server

[uneven flax]

I play PvE in OCE. It's my favorite server

[storm pebble]

Russian servers at midnight on a workday ✌️

[uneven flax]

when im losing a lot i recoup my money in OCE

[plucky spruce]

Unfortunately I lag pretty bad on that

[terse sleet]

try central?

maybe better?

[storm pebble]

dont you have 400k

[uneven flax]

I have 130ms in OCE, I am in Asia. The lag compensation is still good around 100ms.

[quartz gust]

how do that

[uneven flax]

478 now

[plucky spruce]

Lowest ping is west for me

[terse sleet]

you go to settings should be central

[quartz gust]

doesnt exist is what im being wide about

[terse sleet]

NA Central

[uneven flax]

not asia? 130 is still good bro just come play with us. asia is always full

[terse sleet]

what the jelly, what’s the other options

[quartz gust]

theres US east and west, then south america

[fervent path]

Some of you are way too patient, man. Sitting in bushes until the end of 45 minutes 😄

[terse sleet]

i’ve never really switched my servers

[uneven flax]

are we on the same game NA central dont exist

[quartz gust]

tbh not sure why russia server exists

they're all on EU

[plucky spruce]

Central doesn’t exist

For me either

[terse sleet]

shoot they need a central

[uneven flax]

its probably as dead as OCE

[quartz gust]

i swap from EU to US east whenever it gets super late for me, since all i end up finding are tryhards and cheaters if i dont

[mild quiver]

No point in having a central because most players are on either west or east coast

[uneven flax]

russians play csgo and fitgirl repacks

[quartz gust]

nono russians play Hunt, plenty of them

[plucky spruce]

Anyways anyome wanna play?

[quartz gust]

they're all i find in EU random matchmaking

[mild quiver]

Population is too small for central u.s. to be relevant

[plucky spruce]

Plz?

[quartz gust]

tbh i would, but i cant since the game will permakick me on us west

bit too far from ol blighty, you see

[plucky spruce]

I’ll switch

[quartz gust]

no i mean theres no server that will be good for both of us to play

[uneven flax]

what ms you get kicked out of? i played on US West when Asia servers kicked the bucket when this event started

[mild quiver]

this game has no ping limit

[quartz gust]

its like around 200 i think? anything above that is red for me in the list

[plucky spruce]

I can switch it’s not much of a difference

[uneven flax]

enemies could barely hit me at 180ms

[terse sleet]

i would play if console could play PC man

[plucky spruce]

It’s not much of a difference

[mild quiver]

You could hop into a server with 250 ping and play the game wont stop you

[uneven flax]

well that sucks

[terse sleet]

and before anyone laughs trust me i walk mnk all day aswell

[uneven flax]

limit should at least be 200

[quartz gust]

it was 200

its now 250

[plucky spruce]

It’s only 30 difference

[plucky spruce]

For me

[quartz gust]

wha

what ping are you usually playing on

[uneven flax]

oh yeah i can still enter US East despite 227ms

that sucks

227 is so big

[quartz gust]

because even if theres no limit, anything above 150 is pretty bad to actually play

[plucky spruce]

60 for west 90 for east

[uneven flax]

your silenced 1865 carbine will feel like 50m/s

[terse sleet]

man idk i be playing other games on different servers like 80ms and still be lagging 💀💀

[uneven flax]

wtf? so you have 60/90 on US servers and you're torturing yourself playing on OCE?

[scarlet plinth]

Have you ever felt

[terse sleet]

so i stick to my servers idk why my game would make me rubber ban on 80’s

[scarlet plinth]

The satisfaction

Of dying in this game

It felt

A loop

Like in Marathon

[plucky spruce]

I’m not on OCE

[quartz gust]

the only time im satisfied dying is when i trade

[scarlet plinth]

You die and die again…Doing bounties until dying again…

[scarlet plinth]

Romero trading

[uneven flax]

that's not rubberband from network issues. The game has a bug where it rubberbands you if your character gets stuck on an obstacle while you are moving, it couldnt decide what to do with your position

[plucky spruce]

I’m in Saskatchewan

[quartz gust]

any trade really, but rifle shots are the best

like we both pew, we both fall over. poetic

[plucky spruce]

Wanna play

[uneven flax]

dang that's where they make the big foots!

[terse sleet]

this is what u gotta do to and my YT tutorials on how to get better (said tutorials don’t exist)

[plucky spruce]

That’s mine

[quartz gust]

thats a phone pic

are you on console?

[plucky spruce]

I’m on pc

[uneven flax]

so why does it take you 10-15 mins to matchmake in US servers?

[terse sleet]

yeah bro pop in on that US EST

[plucky spruce]

I’m playing on tv

[terse sleet]

those things always be popping late night

yeah bro PC has more players than consoles

[plucky spruce]

I’m too broke for a desktop currently

[terse sleet]

it takes me like 4-5 mins on console LATE night to get a game

[uneven flax]

my longest wait for a game is maybe 1-3 minutes. Asia servers peak. Asia servers always have a ton of players any time of the day.

[quartz gust]

brb y'all i gotta do morning chores its trash day

[plucky spruce]

I have a pc just takes so long

[terse sleet]

even early hours of the morning like less than 5 mins bro on console btw

[terse sleet]

whatttt, PC HAS WAY WAY more players bro

i wish i was PC if i was i’d still be a controller user

[uneven flax]

brb gonna play death stranding 2

[terse sleet]

i could NEVER do mnk

[uneven flax]

must be boring having melee weapon meta in Hunt

hahahahahahahha

[terse sleet]

my hands too big and i can type without looking down at my keyboard but when im gaming i forget my key binds its goes out the window

[terse sleet]

whatcha mean?

[uneven flax]

arent melee weapons always used in console hunt

[terse sleet]

like the bomb lance?

[uneven flax]

idk any of em

[terse sleet]

or just melees in general

[uneven flax]

yea

[terse sleet]

Well yeah but not as often as you think

[uneven flax]

probably significantly more often than PC for sure

[terse sleet]

i think there’s a hidden MMR in 6 star lobbies

[uneven flax]

i find one melee user in maybe 10 games

Hunt should do a melee only arcade game mode as an event

[terse sleet]

i see bats more than i see katanas, swords, lances but above that the most melees i see is spears or hatches / traumas

[uneven flax]

besides my own bat i havent seen a bat in ages

[terse sleet]

I run melees but it’s never for the pvp but more or less for AI / Bounty bosses

[plucky spruce]

Still takes forever tho

[terse sleet]

as i do tend to come across berserker

there’s about 9.9k players rn

on steam alone + with ever on other pc clients

surely SURELY it shouldn’t take that long

[plucky spruce]

Still takes forever because they find people within ur skill level

[terse sleet]

like it was said earlier not many people are like 2-3 stars

[quartz gust]

LMAO

[terse sleet]

try going into clash maybe raise it a bit idk man

[quartz gust]

thats a joke, i see 2's and 5's all the time in 3*

clash has separate mmr now right?

[terse sleet]

i rarely see melees i wouldn’t say theres a melee meta

[vast rock]

I’m in pc with an Xbox remote, managed to get to 6* and do pretty well for myself. It’s not that bad if you’ve been playing shooters for almost 20 years

[plucky spruce]

I been doing clash to find 2 other for 3s takes forever

[terse sleet]

i would run PC 6* all DAY

[vast rock]

But I absolutely understand the advantage of mnk

[plucky spruce]

You either gotta have a group or you don’t

[vast rock]

I just grew up on Xbox so that’s what I’m most comfortable with

[quartz gust]

i made the switch

you can too

[uneven flax]

youre 6* with a controller in PC lobbies?

cap or jesus

[plucky spruce]

Play with meee bruhhhh

[terse sleet]

i played siege (mods plz dont kill me) against mnk for years I did a tournament for a video where it was us against esports pro and champion console players and we unfortunately viciously roasted those guys alive

[vast rock]

I definitely could, but that’s not the point. At the end of the day it’s a game and with games you’re meant to have fun, and I have fun on Xbox remote

[terse sleet]

i know i’d be capable in 6* pc lobbies

[plucky spruce]

I’m looking for group but I don’t understand the whole discord part

[vast rock]

That being said, 6* lobbies are stupid. You’ll get headshot with a nagant from 200m, and you’ll be chilling in a house not moving and still get headshot wallbanged

[terse sleet]

if i ever switched over to pc i doubt id ever really be able to merge over to mnk

[uneven flax]

im sure you can. mouse is great

just play some aim trainers or single player games

[terse sleet]

as i said earlier it’s not my aiming

it’s the keybinds part

[uneven flax]

ah. buy big keybord

if finger big

[vast rock]

Still a hurdle you can get over if you want to make the switch

[uneven flax]

biggus digus

[terse sleet]

my big hands press the wrong keys or i forget which key is which

[quartz gust]

people see a toe and extrapolate exactly where your head is from the angle of its shadow

[vast rock]

Yep, it’s rough out here

[uneven flax]

there's big keyboards for that. and make sure to get mechanical keyboards with high travel, so you dont accidentally fat finger the wrong keys

it's just keyboard selection as well

[quartz gust]

i unfortunately met a smurf earlier who did exactly that

[terse sleet]

dude

hunt looks amazing on pc like the shading, the graphics just beautiful

but on console

smh, not even 120 fps or FOV slider

we’re stuck on a mean 60

[quartz gust]

yeah people dont have those beautiful graphics unless they got a beastly rig. they turn it all down for the tiniest advantage

[vast rock]

Sometimes when it’s my first match of the day I find myself stopping to just look around at the visuals, definitely a beautiful game

[quartz gust]

and by people i mean not y'all

y'all probably are chill about not sweatlording

[terse sleet]

see consoles are able to run some killer graphics and still perform at 120 fps

[vast rock]

I have a decently strong rig, I don’t need 894FPS, I’m chill with 110

[quartz gust]

but some of the stuff people do with reshade is just silly

[uneven flax]

get jelly

[terse sleet]

wdym

[quartz gust]

like, they can do stuff that probably counts as cheating

[terse sleet]

looks nice not jelly though

[vast rock]

I love the new fat knife, it’s so nice

[quartz gust]

black and white vision, no choke blur etc

[terse sleet]

oh god we have hella cheaters

[uneven flax]

pls get jelly

[terse sleet]

there’s people over here with 5.57kd and 7.2kds

[vast rock]

Nah that’s possible, they probably just play extremely safe

[terse sleet]

and it’s very obvious who uses a 3rd party adapter to play on mnk instead of controller

[quartz gust]

solo snipers that get maybe 1 kill a game and never die LMAO

[terse sleet]

yes i’m aware but we have a lot of mnk users

[vast rock]

Ohhh yeah I forgot, some people on console will still use mnk. My lil brother used to do that. It’s dumb imo

[quartz gust]

just waiting for a fight to slurp up one headshot and then yeetus on feetus

[terse sleet]

personally i think it’s the dumbest investment of 200-400 bucks for this small square and usb plug-in just to use a mouse and keyboard

[quartz gust]

aye

makes them feel like a winner though so i guess its worth it to them

[terse sleet]

like if u want to spend that much just get a pc bro if ur dropping that much on a small piece of plastic

[vast rock]

🤷‍♂️ some people really are just in it to find self validation in how hard they destroy other people

[terse sleet]

nah i got warned here for trash talking and dropping a clip on one of those mnk abusers in console lobbies

sadly i think im on my last warning :C

[quartz gust]

but they wont be better than everyone they play against
(even though mouseaim while on average better doesnt auto win)

[vast rock]

Whenever I get absolutely shit on I just walk away and do something else for a while then come back later

[quartz gust]

i just laugh tbh

especially if its a non-legit player who dumpstered me

[terse sleet]

i just get mad and say gg go next

[terse sleet]

HAHA i play the game for fun

okay, so my question is cause i heard pc lobbies u can get banned for tbagging

[quartz gust]

i think that'd have to be a manual report

and how would you see it anyway

[terse sleet]

on console they say the same and obviously nothings ever happened i’ve experienced it and see the same players days later doing the same thing

[terse sleet]

spectating silly

[uneven flax]

people tbag in this game? never saw it

[quartz gust]

yeah but switching to spectate that fast?

[uneven flax]

no one has time to tbag because it's dangerous to do it mid fight

[quartz gust]

and being madge enough to stay in the game after its over?

rare

[uneven flax]

and if theyre all dead then no one would see

[terse sleet]

oh god yes i play solo i ONLY run 1 certain skin you can associate me with it, youll see others with it but my playstyle is easily you can tell its me

[uneven flax]

i just tbag annoying hives or immos

[quartz gust]

yeah like, i wouldnt bother to tbag because whats the chances of them actually sticking around and hitting spectate? pretty low

plus, i also wouldnt because im not 13

[uneven flax]

im 29 and i tbag ai 🙁

[terse sleet]

anyways i killed this team of people they all have super high kds and they spent 6 minutes shooting my dead body, after that they proceeded to throw all their throwables on me

[quartz gust]

i dont think you can get banned for it, but why put the effort into doing it anyway

[quartz gust]

wait what

[terse sleet]

and basically acted as if i was the burning man bon fire and did the kumbaya around my dead body as they waited for me to burn out

[quartz gust]

you're in the actual minority of people sticking around to spectate though, almost everyone would just leave

and they have no idea which choice you made

so they did that on the off chance that you actually spectated

[terse sleet]

oh no it happens very VERY often with me

console you’ll find the same people very often were unfortunately very small player base compared to yall

[quartz gust]

sounds like EU at 3am

killed a guy, died to another guy, next game had the 1st guy on my team

[terse sleet]

yeah i got a few people i gotta beef with when i find them or see they’ve touched a bounty

i’m hauling ass over there and murdering them

[quartz gust]

ooooh right

you also cant just

change your name

[terse sleet]

you can but it cost money

[quartz gust]

yeah i was an OG 360 gamer i remember

i just didnt make the connection till now

[terse sleet]

okay check this out, i have beef with this one dude

[quartz gust]

so if you see a name then its definitely them

whereas if i like, see someone called Rachta pick up a bounty im like "hah, good one. its not him"

[terse sleet]

last week i spent all night getting into games with him and kept destroying him

today I put 3 rounds from the officer carbine into him he walked off

[quartz gust]

unlucky placement and range i guess

[terse sleet]

and then he gets killed rez and i run over there and kill his buddy then trade with him

and once i saw that name i started laughing as my friends finished off his last teammate

we’re so small you can also associate most skins with the player / name

like if you see Death mask you can almost always tell it’s me just off how i play

[quartz gust]

yeah, i've been part of communities that small before on other games, but even as niche as PC hunt is, we get pretty big matchmaking pools

mostly because the MMR system doesnt care

[terse sleet]

okay check this out

today i experienced the same level of toxicity

[dreamy cave]

If you chsnge your name on pc on steam it will change your name midmatch

[quartz gust]

thats new then, i remember having to reboot to do my funny local/remote/foreign banana trio meme

[terse sleet]

as you can see this team has killed me and this guy was just watching my body as i’m burning he had just switch after firing into my dead body with an uppercut

and he would unload his slate into my dead body, these people need to get punished by for toxicity anyways, i’ve already manually gone to crytek website and reported them

[quartz gust]

yeah idk if any of that is actually against ToS

but, that kind of person, they'll slip up and do something that "is" eventually

karma always wins yknow

[terse sleet]

well i would assume so i mean you’re still doing very toxic and degrading stuff to dead player s

[quartz gust]

you also just murdered that player

which yknow, irl is very much worse than teabagging someone

[terse sleet]

i mean teabagging is also a sexual gesture, doing that to a dead player after you killed them is just toxic

also that guy was clearly mnk

[quartz gust]

yeah, mileage may vary

[elder hemlock]

love it when I get killed by a frag through a brick wall

[terse sleet]

man me and my homie died to one 15m out

[elder hemlock]

just returned to the game after like 2 years and the grenades in this game feel so horribly inconsistent

[quartz gust]

i wonder if it actually simulates shrapnel

probably not since the codebase is ancient

[terse sleet]

i’m pretty sure it does

[elder hemlock]

if it does it doesn't have LOS checks

[quartz gust]

like, throwables dont actually exist in the world until they leave your hand

thats the level of code we're talking about

holds up pretty good tho sorry crytek im not bashing

[elder hemlock]

elaborate

[quartz gust]

its not related to your dying issue etc

but i meant that a frag or a dynamite

doesnt exist as an object until thrown, cant be shot or defused etc

and if the fuse runs out, the explosion just "happens" on you

[elder hemlock]

I mean that sounds pretty normal

[terse sleet]

so that explains when i throw explosives but die at the same time they just don’t exist anymore

[raven totem]

na it's to consistent in what it does. pretty certain it acts like an explosion in hunt logic

[quartz gust]

games that are made 2020+ usually have it as an existing object in your hand even if its made immune to damage

like its not "hunter holding boom" as a model, its "hunter model with boom model placed in hand"

[quartz gust]

yeah feels like that now you say it

[elder hemlock]

I mean that doesn't sound like a terrible way of doing it, though I only have surface level knowledge of this kind of stuff

[quartz gust]

i dont think its better or worse

its just older design theory

[raven totem]

the most flawed part of hunts explosives is how they check wether they'll damage you or not, and can super funky where people can die sometimes when they shou;dn't have been touched

[mild quiver]

Having a window closed or opened can sometimes be the difference between taking explosive damage or not

[raven totem]

they tend to have a wrap effect, they can go through floors or walls

[mild quiver]

Has nothing to do with shrapnel

[quartz gust]

wooden walls dont stop blasts

which is sorta intuitive sorta not

like i expect a wooden wall to not save me from boom. but i also expect a wooden wall to be gone

holy. imagine Hunt with dynamic buildings

just collapse a whole lumber mill on a team :D

[raven totem]

it would collapse most peoples computers as well

[quartz gust]

bf3 didnt? bad company didnt?

[elder hemlock]

I mean fuck it just rebuild the entire game to have The Final's level of destruction

surely that'd go well

[quartz gust]

but i guess it is cryengine

and cryengine makes pc's of the time it debuted, cry

[raven totem]

ya this is a big part of it and everything else already being handled

[quartz gust]

"but can it run Crysis!!!!!!"

[raven totem]

all the ai, sound and light are cpu based and complicated

thats all just from a technical standpoint, ignoring the balance of it of course

hunts already a very very heavy cpu game

[quartz gust]

only relatively

[elder hemlock]

thank god I decided to upgrade my CPU over my GPU before prices went to shit

[quartz gust]

it doesnt actually take that good of a cpu to run nowadays

my old 2600x ran it fine

it definitely is more CPU bound than GPU bound, is what i think you were saying

[raven totem]

my pc is wicked choked by my cpu and everything on hunt suffers forit

[quartz gust]

oh lord do i even ask what you're working with?

[elder hemlock]

yeah I'm super bottlenecked by my GPU, though it's not a bad GPU

[quartz gust]

my GPU is a goddamn unicorn

i cant find actual stats for it

[raven totem]

i7-8700

[quartz gust]

even the box it came in, wasnt the GPU

[elder hemlock]

LOL

what GPU

[quartz gust]

1660 super

BUT

its got 3 fans

the regular super has 2

so its a different model

[elder hemlock]

oh weird

this mf got the 1663 super

[quartz gust]

the box even has a 2-fan picture on it

but in the dxdiag it says 1660 super

so i didnt get scammed or anything

[quartz gust]

ok WEIRD

[random nimbus]

[quartz gust]

cpu benchmark says yours is the same as if not better than my current one

and my old one ran hunt fine and wasnt binding. but i am on AMD archi whereas you're on intel

[raven totem]

I can run hunt, I just have a lot of dips and lows

[quartz gust]

i have zero dips

1080p or 2/4k?

[raven totem]

1440p

[quartz gust]

hmm. that might be the issue then?

see, i know my CPU would do heavy lifting if i went to 1440p

so i never bothered

[random nimbus]

I have stuttering issues and it drives me insane

Not like frame dips, just the whole game stutters

[quartz gust]

the difference between 1080 and 1440 is pretty minor in my eyes anyway, so its just not value-add to me

[random nimbus]

I'm starting to think it's actually discord doing it

[quartz gust]

apparently a whole section of players got that recently, it sucks

[raven totem]

na my gpu is more than strong enough, rx 7800 xt

[quartz gust]

i mean test it i guess? go down to 1080 and see if the dips go away

PC troubleshooting is weird

[random nimbus]

I've noticed that all of my games will start stuttering a lot if I get into a discord call with a stream

[raven totem]

they don't, I've tried

[quartz gust]

remember that TF2 needed a picture of a potato in its files or it totally broke

[raven totem]

could be ram?

[quartz gust]

or its annoying cousin, VRAM

[random nimbus]

Shouldn't be. I have 64g of ram

[quartz gust]

richboi/gal

[random nimbus]

It was from before the Ram crisis lol

But I'm probably gonna try a fresh Discord install

[quartz gust]

yeah im glad i was forced to upgrade before that too, i was a dumbdumb and didnt check the slots on my mobo

used to have 4 sticks now i have two on the new one

[random nimbus]

I upgraded in like late 2024/early 2025

[quartz gust]

just in time damn

[random nimbus]

Yeah XD

Very glad I did because I made some stupid compromises on my last rig

[quartz gust]

my friend got me an NVME ssd just before it happened

that same SSD is now 40% higher

[random nimbus]

I only just recently upgraded my monitor and that was a huge change

Went from a 1080p 27" to a 4k 32"

[quartz gust]

eh. im a diehard 1080

[random nimbus]

Took a while to get used to the size difference

[quartz gust]

i just dont really notice anything special about 4k

[random nimbus]

I think it really depends on the game, and of course monitor size

[quartz gust]

im happy with my two 32in

[random nimbus]

For guild wars 2, resolution wasn't important

I have 2 24" 1080p monitors on each side of my big one lol

[quartz gust]

im not sure the 4k jump is even important for stuff like hunt

because like, i can spot movement 300m away

on 1080

unzoomed

sure more pixels would let me see it even further but at that point what do i even do with the information lmao

[random nimbus]

I got a cheapo Walmart monitor when my 27" wouldn't fit on the swivel mounts, and that cheap monitor is better than the one I got in 2016 for more money XD

[quartz gust]

i also commit the other cardinal gamer sin

i have tv's

[random nimbus]

[quartz gust]

my main screen luckily has a good input latency

i do notice it on the second screen but if im ever gaming on that, im being all comfy and usually playing something that doesnt need it

but considering the second screen was 25 bucks

bargain

[random nimbus]

My side monitors are for extra stuff and I constantly find ways to fill them lol

I keep discord, steam, and my spec analytics on a vertical left monitor

Right monitor is for browsers and other stuff I pull up while gaming

[quartz gust]

steam just goes wherever for me lmao, i feel like i dont need to see it while gaming

discord/browsers on the second

[random nimbus]

I like having it open for checking things like playercounts and forum discussions

[quartz gust]

but usually if i need to search something while still in a game, the overlay is clutch

[uneven flax]

Why even stare at player counts

[random nimbus]

I'm also not sure what else I would put in that spot where steam is lol

[quartz gust]

i check those too, tbh

[uneven flax]

There is absolutely no reason to. Unless u buying a multiplayer game for the first time

[random nimbus]

I check them to see what region to play on

[quartz gust]

it tells me when to swap from EU servers to NA

but i dont really need to check it anymore

[random nimbus]

If it's low pop in mornings, I go to EU

[quartz gust]

about 22-2300 is when i need to switch

and i guess right now i'd be switching back if i was still ingame

[random nimbus]

I also just like to see how the life a game is

[uneven flax]

Crytek should just add player count bars (1-3 bars at least) for region selection

[random nimbus]

Ehhhh, it might lead to more dead server hunting

People who try to avoid pvp to farm money

[paper anvil]

I still don't understand..will we have day/night inferno or is inferno a specific setting for everything ?

[uneven flax]

Most people look for active servers than dead servers

[quartz gust]

you know as much as we do :D

[uneven flax]

Plus everyone knows where dead servers are

[random nimbus]

Dead server hunting is still a big thing

Spooky did it a lot back in the day

[quartz gust]

yup. just pick one thats 3-4am in that timezone

ez

most gamers have gone to bed, and others havent woken up yet

[random nimbus]

And then there's us that do Shift Work lol

[quartz gust]

and me!

i have sleep apnea

[random nimbus]

Cries in almost 4am

[quartz gust]

my day is, on average, 26 hours long

[random nimbus]

Yeesh

[quartz gust]

so my sleeping cycle just casually rotates

[uneven flax]

Server activity helps more players than it will hurt the game from dead server hunting

[random nimbus]

I thought I had insomnia problems sometimes

[quartz gust]

takes me 12ish hours of sleep to get 8-9 hours of rest

cus i get barely any REM sleep

but im still awake for 12-14 hours

[uneven flax]

Plus enuf players going to dead servers means the server gets revived. You cannot not win

[random nimbus]

Idk, people still scream for region locking

[quartz gust]

so, math. 26 hour day cycle

[uneven flax]

I assure you people in dead servers rather play with 1000 150-300ms players than wait 10 mins in a queue

[quartz gust]

i feel like having popcount on server list is extra dev work for very little change

[uneven flax]

It’s a very little change 😭

[random nimbus]

The ones hopping, yeah. The ones native to those servers hate server hoppers

[uneven flax]

It’s doesnt take long to surface that in a little ui

[quartz gust]

uh

sorry

we're still recovering from the UI-pocalypse

i dont want them to change anything more

they might make it worse again

[uneven flax]

Those native to those servers leave their servers to play in high pop servers.

Those who doesnt are stuck in a long queue.

I assure you those people rather play now than not able to matchmake

[random nimbus]

I'm very happy they finally added a loadout hotkey to the hunter page

[uneven flax]

It’s a little bar my friend 😭😂

[quartz gust]

have you ever used MS word

and like, moved a picture a tiny bit

that happens in coding, too

[uneven flax]

Thats not how UI development works

[quartz gust]

you still have to code it

[uneven flax]

My friend i write UIs for a living it’s not that dumb 😂😭

Ive been doing that shit for 9 years

[quartz gust]

do you write them in CryEngine?

[random nimbus]

The people that server hop are usually far less than the native servers. Most people are playing during their prime time hours and don't need to server hop

[uneven flax]

I write it more than you ever do.

[random nimbus]

It's us with more inconsistent or odd schedules that need to hop frequently

[quartz gust]

yeah, probably. but that didnt answer the question

[uneven flax]

adding a server pop indication is simple work

So do you think someone who has no idea how UI dev works knows more than someone who does?

It’s not engine related

Just cause someone dont write in cryengine doesnt mean it doesnt apply to the practice in general

[random nimbus]

[astral moss]

Very hot take: The Ui is fine, stop complaining.

[uneven flax]

PLUS you dont need any brains to know adding a little icon wont affect the UI….

You can be a 12 year old and at least know that much

[random nimbus]

Alright, chill

[royal cloak]

Ragebaited.

[uneven flax]

Yeah my issue was this guy is saying adding a server pop icon will badly affect the overall ui experience

[quartz gust]

what?

no

[uneven flax]

Like bro its an icon

[quartz gust]

if that was your take, you misunderstood

i was wondering why you got so hot and bothered

[random nimbus]

Maybe let's just move on from it

[uneven flax]

This

[quartz gust]

yeah, i dont want them changing anything because you never know what breaks

[uneven flax]

Then dont update the game forever

Lmao

[quartz gust]

and if you think UI design is simple, how the hell did they ever get the original redesign

[uneven flax]

I think it is a pretty bad take

[quartz gust]

it was so bad

[uneven flax]

You cannot be resistant to change in fear of something breaking

If that’s the mindset nothing will improve

[quartz gust]

i can when its Crytek

i can be very cautious indeed

[random nimbus]

I don't think a population bar is really necessary tho

[uneven flax]

Lets be stuck in 2.7 forever

[quartz gust]

i mean pointless discussing this with me tbh

i want pre-1896 hunt back

and im aware that im in the minority

[astral moss]

Lol

This ragebait i never see.

[random nimbus]

The 2.0 UI was more so from them trying to appease consoles at the great expense of PC players

And it was very very VERY obviously not playtested

[quartz gust]

i liked the old UI, the old gameplay, the current way the game plays is a lot faster and favouring high speed spam

[random nimbus]

I liked old hunt better overall, yeah

[astral moss]

Necro meta be like.

[quartz gust]

yeah, sometimes you got picked up and did something

[elder hemlock]

all on the same trio, man 😭

[quartz gust]

sometimes you got farmed

[astral moss]

Imagine not being punished for your bad positioning.

[random nimbus]

Some things are obviously better now, but I enjoyed the game more back years ago

[quartz gust]

necro meta was just revive bolts without needing to take a weapon for it

[random nimbus]

You did because resilience only gave you 100hp so you just died immediately if someone wired or watched you

[quartz gust]

burn speeds too

they're okayish now

but on 1896 launch whooo

[raven rune]

https://i.imgur.com/WFpS6Nb.jpeg might be a new record, went from level 79-100 and probably overfilled, had death cheat too 😭

[astral moss]

In theory, in practice you had to camp every corpse of the game in case he got revive by his hiding team mate.

[elder hemlock]

are you fucking kidding me

[random nimbus]

Still gotta do that now, you can just burn easier and a bit faster. Revive meta has always been a thing even before necro

[quartz gust]

wow bro got farmed

[random nimbus]

Necro didn't really take off until way later

[quartz gust]

yeah it used to cost your own HP

[astral moss]

Yeah but at least its only 1 time now.

[plucky spruce]

i still dont understand how to invite peopl;e

[quartz gust]

and before regen shots, that was a finite thing

[random nimbus]

And imo it was because of bar randomizing

[elder hemlock]

yeah it was jarring when I used it again and it didn't take my HP, felt like a worthy tradeoff I wonder why they removed it

[quartz gust]

well, you only get to use it once now

losing hp would be an extra kick in the pants

[random nimbus]

You couldn't always have all small bars and get 125hp back with resilience

[royal cloak]

Just invite them.

[plucky spruce]

I feel like you misunderstood what I said

[astral moss]

That's more than enough to be annoying for the people in front.

[plucky spruce]

I mean in this server how do I do it

[random nimbus]

Like I said, necro didn't really take off until those things happened.

[raven rune]

click the plus in the top right or in the middle near your characters and select them from your steam friends list (if you use steam, otherwise idk)

[random nimbus]

And people also raged more about solo necro than team necro

[raven rune]

oh discord? no clue

[plucky spruce]

I’m talking about discord this one specifically

[astral moss]

Both were annoying by solo necro was horrible game design.

[random nimbus]

Solo necro, at least post first inferno, was a skill check

[astral moss]

[boreal surge]

Iv played 5000 hours at hunt......placed a trip mine beside a red barrel......stepped into it my self 🙁

[quartz gust]

the solo discussion is definitely a thing. tbh i think they get too many assists now especially since the original design was that the game was meant for teams

[random nimbus]

You had at least 2 people vs 1. When it was 4 seconds to stand up in first inferno, yeah it was legit a problem

You could solo necro before people could hand rez

[quartz gust]

yeah, get downed at 100m and you could be off and halfway through a rotate before anyone could firebomb you

[astral moss]

Sound balanced.

[random nimbus]

But that necro isn't the necro we have now

[quartz gust]

very heavily biased towards rewarding long range combat, it was

[random nimbus]

It stalled the game more than anything, and was mostly stomping on inexperienced players or facilitating sniper rats

[astral moss]

Still the case.

Long range is still the most safe way to play and win.

[quartz gust]

you're not entirely wrong, aye

[random nimbus]

If you're in a 20m fight and you get solo necrod as a team, y'all got skill checked

[quartz gust]

i've had people stand up and wipe my team because they got full hp and had a shotgun though

im aware its a skill issue, nobody covered them with a 1tap weapon, i have since learned to always do that

[random nimbus]

I would stand over them with melee

Now with pennyringer

[quartz gust]

yeah, thats what nobody did

throwing knives work too

chest or head

[random nimbus]

I can remember a distinct time we didn't and it cost us the fight

[quartz gust]

and if you hit arm, you can usually throw a second

oh, never stand at their feet either

[random nimbus]

Nobody watched him and he stood up and officer spam-bined us

Stand behind

[quartz gust]

unless they died facing down i guess

yeah figure out which way is behind

[random nimbus]

That way less chance latency nonsense letting them shoot you

[quartz gust]

3 kills with 7 shots max under a pressure situation is impressive shooting though

[random nimbus]

It was only 2 of us up, and he headshot me lol

[quartz gust]

oh. less impressive

[random nimbus]

We got mixed up on who was reviving and we left his body

Now I vigilantly watch dead bodies, especially with Witness

[quartz gust]

seems like everyone just burns everyone nowadays

what with fire being super easy to carry with you

i remember the days when you couldnt have fire in your tools! (body-burning fire)

i also remember electric lamps

[random nimbus]

I still hate flareguns burning

[quartz gust]

make it inherently less accurate?

that'd be a band-aid

[random nimbus]

Probably one of my most hated changes they've ever made

[quartz gust]

if it had random direction slightly, you'd need to get closer to burn

further than fusees, but not 100m artillery flares

[random nimbus]

Even then, I hate such easy access burning

[quartz gust]

yeah, the other day i got downed and i swear i was burning before i hit the floor

[random nimbus]

You will legit burn before the death screen loads

[quartz gust]

its just the default nowadays

it used to be a deliberate choice to force player actions

[random nimbus]

And it used to be so much worse

[quartz gust]

oh the 1896 launch? yeah. pointless taking chokes

[random nimbus]

It was 50 seconds to burn out WITH salveskin

[quartz gust]

because typical crytek, they wanted to speed up fights so they swung for both nuts at the same time, nerfing chokes and making burn faster

[random nimbus]

You could barely toss a choke within 3 seconds before a small bar was burnt

[quartz gust]

mhm, i hated it, and it was part of why one of my friends uninstalled

[random nimbus]

2.0 was an awful update

[quartz gust]

i think the best actual feature of it was the range and drop system

[random nimbus]

And people were coping so hard acting like the UI was mid

Oh I despise bullet drop

[quartz gust]

yknow, it always felt bad landing a pistol headshot at 100m and just. not getting the kill

like hello? your noggin has some lead in it

[raven totem]

old officer moments

[random nimbus]

Soft headshots were always dumb, especially because they so heavily favored long ammo

[quartz gust]

remember og bornheim suppressor?

what was it, 64m and you didnt 1tap heads

or 63?

[raven totem]

idk, officer was similarly bad

[random nimbus]

Shoot, before Desalle, Springfield used to headshot at 125m

[quartz gust]

yeah medium ammo was definitely the hated child

[random nimbus]

Compact was at least spammy

Medium was absolutely terrible back then

No fmj

[quartz gust]

think its in a pretty good spot now, right?

i tend to take medium rifles a lot more often than long, because the resupply on long is pants

[random nimbus]

It's definitely much better post range buff and limb damage changes

[quartz gust]

springy also got specific love with that rifle-level dumdum change

it happened to hit the drilling and centy too but we all know it was for the springy

[random nimbus]

Just for Centennial to take that niche lol

Same with HV

[quartz gust]

i used to like HV

now i feel theres too many downsides for what it gives

[random nimbus]

Until they overnerfed it

[quartz gust]

both nuts at once, crytek nerfs

just making it less damaging would've been enough

[random nimbus]

I feel HV mostly paid for the sins of the officer carbine

[quartz gust]

or less ammo

which wouldnt even be a problem anymore after the changes to ammo pooling and refill, tbh

[random nimbus]

Winnie and Centennial HV were good too, but when people realized HV made the recoil of the officer carbine more consistent, it exploded in use again

[quartz gust]

cant take two nagant's to give it 50+ spare ammo anymore

[random nimbus]

I miss ammo stacking with dualies

[quartz gust]

eh, im okay with the avto not getting two full reloads

[random nimbus]

Not for Avto, but I used to run Ironside with Spistols and shot every wall I heard movement behind lol

And back then, resupply was still based on reserves

[quartz gust]

although every time they bring gunrunner back i keep hoping nobody else figures out that the berthier gives you a ton of spare AND aimed shots capability

[random nimbus]

I hate current berthier

[quartz gust]

the extra recoil?

[random nimbus]

The fire rate and ammo capacity

I'm so tired of them buffing that gun
