hunt-general

[lusty echo]

Yeah, they do that.

[past locust]

yea i’m good with both

[lusty echo]

Exactly. Good.

[past locust]

it was just right IMO, i finished it quick but i also optimized for challenges

[fickle marten]

hunt showdown btw

h u n t

get to huntin

[uneven flax]

You just want a free kill against my hunter that doesnt have a pvp loadout 😜

[gusty onyx]

Hidden extracts are fine. Now give me back 15p lobbys and im happy

[past locust]

when i run a pve load out i make sure its the most abysmal kit so they dont even get to have a fight

[lusty echo]

0%

[uneven flax]

Lots of L takes in this chat rn

[past locust]

just a hammer

[remote hound]

Anyone more who have Convalescent Home achievement (25 retired hunters) and can spend 2 minutes to show me how many more I need?

[lethal pulsar]

Personally always rush scout towers for that map.
Then I trap them up and grab clues.

[lusty echo]

Like your own? Weak b8 m8

[uneven flax]

15 player lobbies are problematic given bounty rewards

[gusty onyx]

Its just fun

Screw reward

[past locust]

15 is too many, 12 gives a trio a 1/4 chance of winning

[uneven flax]

Good thing it’s gone

[past locust]

if you increase the rewards by 25% to compensate for the increase in players sure

[uneven flax]

Bounty rewards are already shit as it is

[gusty onyx]

More pvp is rewarding enough

[uneven flax]

plus spawn fights

[fickle marten]

me when i can’t leave and have to play the game when it’s not default daytime

[gusty onyx]

Spawn fights are the best

[past locust]

they are good when i pve on oce servers

i can get a single bounty and 1300 hunt dollars on a hunter with just a hammer and a stamina shot and first aid kit

and if someone kills me they get nothing, the fight isn’t even rewarding since i won’t fight back

[lethal pulsar]

At most I would say 13 player lobbys cause how many run solo.
So you still have 6 2 man teams and a solo or 3 3 mans and a solo

[fallow arch]

I wish crytek would balance martialist btw

[uneven flax]

I mean just read the survey results the problem with 15 man lobbies were spawn fights and low rewards

People were actually poorer during the time as per data

[fickle marten]

15 mans and hidden extracts are two of the best things they’ve done since relaunch

[past locust]

i like hidden extracts for making camping require some effort

remove the chariot to compensate for the hidden extracts imo

[gusty onyx]

Yeah i mean, its only my opinion right. I like spawnfights and idc about bountyrewards

[uneven flax]

there is fun in chaos, but doesnt mean it’s balanced

[gusty onyx]

Fun doesnt have to be balanced

[lethal pulsar]

I heard fortnight is GREAT for spawn fights

[gusty onyx]

Im to old for that

[fallow arch]

Ok hear me out

They add a survival crafting mode

[uneven flax]

It has to be for the majority of the playerbase. Because otherwise no game will get balance updates

[gusty onyx]

Cause its so balanced rn i see 😂

[lethal pulsar]

But your not old enough to follow the games mechanic on bountys. Tisk tisk

[wicked fox]

I wish they would add a similar trait for Combat Axe 🪓 and Railroad Hammer. 🔨

[uneven flax]

So youre saying it’ll be much better on 15 player lobbies

[warm anvil]

I'd rather battle pass progression be fast. I don't always get a lot of time to play.

[whole furnace]

Fun fact: Crafting was a thing on the old roadmap back in early access

[coarse hornet]

This is fire?

[fickle marten]

where did they imply this

[lethal pulsar]

Here

[wind hare]

Yeah, but they're slowing it down because they get info back saying it' good as is, and decide that what that actually means is it' too fast...

[fickle marten]

they said they didn’t care

[past locust]

just make 4 open extracts

[fickle marten]

doesn’t mean they can’t follow it

[whole furnace]

3*

[lethal pulsar]

👍

[fickle marten]

i swear hunt players are so obtuse lmao

[whole furnace]

Hunt players can't read for sure

[past locust]

not a bad compromise tbh

if they are hidden but all open it kind of balances out

[fickle marten]

what do you do about the center extracts

i like the option

[past locust]

ideally one on each side of the map and one in the middle

[whole furnace]

open all 3 side extracts, close the middle one.
Chariot now only extends extraction timer by 30 seconds for 2-3 minutes AND opens the middle extract. You now only char 24 hp when you use it.

[fickle marten]

i’d like decentralized center extracts

[uneven flax]

Locked extracts being a dead feature without chariot is just a bs feature

What happens to locked extracts again after chariot is no longer guaranteed loot

It becomes jumpscare sound again

[past locust]

it makes OCE servers better for pve

[whole furnace]

HEY DID YOU KNOW THIS EXTRACT DOESN'T WORK!?!?!??!!!

[uneven flax]

There should be a way to unlock extracts either manually or automatically

[past locust]

less chinese teams sitting in bushes and using chariot the second you go to extract

[uneven flax]

DONG

[past locust]

granted i prestiged 8 times and started playing all during this event

i also played in like 2021 on xbox but i dont really count that bc i cant remember the game back then

[whole furnace]

I had it happen to me a couple of times and I happy it haven't happened more than this. But rn the most toxic thing you can do is to pick up chariot, go full mosin spitzer sniper and just wait for the bounty team to step onto the extract. Then you pop chariot and they are now stuck at extract with almost cover and you can just snipe them to death.

[uneven flax]

Sounds like a tutorial

And based on experience

Aint it

[whole furnace]

I mean, that was the first line said :v

[uneven flax]

You were the chariot user

[whole furnace]

Nop

I hate sniping

[uneven flax]

Lies

[whole furnace]

99% of the time

[uneven flax]

Lies of Cree

[past locust]

i like sniping if i get to have sniper duels

[whole furnace]

Do you think I have a Martini Henry badge at lvl 10 if I loved long distance shooting lmao?

[past locust]

it’s really fun to take turns shooting at each other and you both miss till eventually someone wins

[whole furnace]

Okay, lemme give you something nice then

Enjoy

[mortal cove]

I felt that one in my soul

Really nice 200m shot

[whole furnace]

Many thanks and honestly much more rewarding with bullet drop

[upbeat lark]

My godness nice shot

My longest is just about 130m ish

With a Maynard

Non silenced I refuse to use that variant

[warm anvil]

I just love being 4 MMR and being faced with constant 6 star -_-

[primal oar]

Of course, that's why they call you "Long Distance McCree".

Although I honestly don't mind the Martini MV on long distance. Yeah, of course, it takes longer to arrive, but it's a gamble what they strafe like anyway. With the Martini they have time to wiggle twice instead of once, but you just shoot at head height and hope for the best. Works surprisingly well.

[whole furnace]

LongSchlongMcCree

[gusty onyx]

no, but it wont be worse ether. i just like pvp. more players, more spawnfights, more pvp. its fine to have a different opnion on that, this is just mine

[remote moss]

martini ironside scope when

[remote moss]

i thought better of you

[gusty onyx]

also they said that mostly 6star bracket liked more players. im fine if they just do it to those lobbies 😄

[remote moss]

tf? who the hell in 6 star even liked it

😭

[gusty onyx]

survey said that, not me

[remote moss]

they tested the 6 star update at a shit time, a lot of 6 star players just played scared as fuck and hated it

survey dumb

it was fun for premades cause they got the easiest games of their life cause everyone started being scared instead of the good players that come around during start of events

[gusty onyx]

i and most ppl i played with liked it 😄

[remote moss]

😭

i must've gotten unlucky or some shit

[fathom shale]

I just hated the pacing of it

[remote moss]

it basically summed as playing with super scared shit randoms vs premades with mosin dolch

[fathom shale]

I already hated when trios got introduced and duo lobbies also got an extra team because of it, ruined the pacing of the matches

Now it might happen to trio lobbies

[gusty onyx]

like i said, its just my opinion. i liked it alot, but i dont think it will get reintroduced that quick seein this chat alone lol

[remote moss]

its fun, when people are playing the game, and if you like the pacing of more combat everywhere and 3rd parties on 3rd parties if you dont finish the job or fuck off

[paper anvil]

bb part of prestige ❤️‍🩹

[remote moss]

except people gave up playing the game cause they couldnt compete after like 2 days of the 15 player test

[paper anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smiling-cat-cute-cat-cat-meme-smiling-gif-10086598795453609558

[paper anvil]

for me it is 154

lowkey maybe not that bad

but i wanna get some good snipers kills

200m lemat marksman snipe challenge ?

[fallow topaz]

It reminds me of the "kills longer than 50m" and I learned I definitely stay engaging at about that range.

[mortal cove]

Ye, I totally agree, my single best shot was with a Berthier at 320m confirmed

Sat on top of the mountain and shot down all the way to East Mountain Corn

I felt like a fucking god hitting that shot

[whole furnace]

Oh damn do you have video of it! :D

[formal dome]

Does anyone else share the desire for a blood borne crossover

[mortal cove]

Sadly no

I don‘t record my gameplay

But I see no point why I‘d lie about my Hunt achievements

[formal dome]

Probably just wanted to see how sick a shot it would’ve been

[whole furnace]

Yeah, I have no doubt in your words

[mortal cove]

I do have to say I WISH I recorded that moment

[paper anvil]

Bro def got reported

[onyx breach]

Yo

Dumb question is sparks a support gun technically or no

[mortal cove]

Sparks is a dmg powerhouse

Reducing your enemy to 1HP so a sneeze can kill them is no joke

Curse of being the middle child

[past locust]

when i play on oce im usually at 250 ping

granted i pve and don’t fight people

[onyx breach]

Another question do I aim for the body or head?

[fathom shale]

Head if you can hit it, body if not

[left orbit]

the wat?

the… ping boozers?

holy

[onyx breach]

Thank you is 149 anywhere on the body

[fathom shale]

Upper torso

[carmine moat]

Hi, I have a quick question. Since the Hunt update with the devil's trail, I've been experiencing several random crashes lately. Sometimes when I try to reconnect, it gets bugged, and other times it launches without any issues. It always crashes (it’s the only game this happens to) and it takes ages to load when trying to reconnect to the match. I have an RTX 5070 Ti and a Ryzen 5 7600X, someone have the same issue?

[left orbit]

upper torso. you can (and i encourage you to) jump in the shooting range and try the damage on the dummies

you don’t have to buy the weapons, they can be found in the shooting range

it will also tell you how much damage it does as distance increases

[scarlet osprey]

yeaaa it fucking sucks

[gray aurora]

yeah its nice like you think well my team died quite easily and than you check oh ofc 6 stars

[raven totem]

how large is the descrepency?

[wind hare]

I have the same CPU but a 4050 and I have no issues whatsoever. And I run everything on Medium/High.

[mortal cove]

Anything overclocked?

[gray aurora]

it doesnt matter which stars you are playing there is often either 6 star solos or 6 stars with 1 stars or something

[carmine moat]

nop

never

[carmine moat]

I play everything on Ultra

[mortal cove]

You have XMP / EXPO enabled in the BIOS?

[carmine moat]

nop

[molten escarp]

I didn't expect console Hunt: Showdown players to be a rare commodity as much as they are. o.o

[wind hare]

Try turning everything down a little, see if that helps at all. Also, depending on where you are, make sure your rig isn't overheating at points. All it takes is a slight increase over normal and it can cause issues, I know mine used to abort to desktop when it got a little hotter, so that could also be an issue. Then there is also the Bios checks, making sure nothing is overclocked, making sure you've updated to your latest GPU drivers, Other Drivers... lol It' a long list of checks unfortunately 🙁

[carmine moat]

The pc is almost brand new, all drivers are up to date, and I've never experienced any issues with other games, definitely no overheating problems at all

[wind hare]

Just a random thought, try verifying cache on Steam, if that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall. I know that has helped people, so fingers crossed it might work for you

[hollow seal]

Have you tried rolling drivers back

[mortal cove]

Is it a pre-built?

[carmine moat]

no, I built by myself

[carmine moat]

I did that

[carmine moat]

Also this

[hollow seal]

Can also check event viewer for an error at the second of the crash to see what it could be

[carmine moat]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1241005354070839370/1260844538138857554/togif.gif

[carmine moat]

already checked it, but it doesn't report any errors at the exact moment of the crash.

[hollow seal]

Right click windows icon on task bar > event viewer > system > find error at the second the game crashes, copy and paste into Google

[hollow seal]

[carmine moat]

Also I checked the logs from hunt

And nothing to report

this is when I reconnected after the crash

[hollow seal]

Have you OCd anything, have you messed with ur ram at software level, is your PSU enough

Thats bout all i can think of

[carmine moat]

nop

[hollow seal]

Maybe a 3rd party tool like rivatuner etc

I use rivatuner fine tho but just as example

maybe do a good ole sfc /scannow wont hurt

[carmine moat]

I did this

but, still crash

[rocky citrus]

I played 10 matches, and 6 of them showed a message that I needed to reconnect to the server. I'm fed up with this garbage game.
Even after reconnecting to the server, it will still recognize the server and continue to prompt for reconnection.
Crytek, please give me a reasonable explanation.

Furthermore, the game's lobby interface cannot be locked at 30 FPS, which causes my GPU temperature to rise significantly.

This game is inferior to PUBG in many details.
For me, the experience was absolutely terrible. If it weren't for the fun gameplay, I probably would never touch this game again.

[raven totem]

#customer-support

[dense girder]

Are you seriously comparing Hunt to PUBG again?

https://tenor.com/view/monster-versus-vs-alien-monster-vs-alien-gif-16037253809360562033

[rocky citrus]

Sorry guys, I just can't take it anymore and have to vent about these issues in the community. While you might not all have encountered the same problems as me, I have to say that these issues have given me a terrible experience.

Damn

[wooden ember]

Might be time to change gpu

[rocky citrus]

Yes, PUBG has a separate lobby and FPS settings, but HUNT doesn't have these detailed settings.

[rocky citrus]

All right Maybe……

[scarlet osprey]

my team

their team

[gray aurora]

some region with low pop atm?

that horrible

[scarlet osprey]

I LOVE SOUTH AMERICAN SERVERS

[wooden ember]

Learn from them and next time u dont die

https://tenor.com/view/meme-you-cant-outsmart-me-thinking-use-your-head-smile-gif-17109386

[scarlet osprey]

im so happy i killed one of them

that m,ust be a mega boost to my mmr

[gray aurora]

I was thinking I had bad mmr but that is horrible

[wooden ember]

yeah you belong in 7 star now

[scarlet osprey]

i keep hovering between 3 and 4

[dense girder]

It's okay, I think we all can understand that this can be frustrating.
I've had problems with the game crashing on me myself for a long time, for example (still do, although much less frequently). But venting about it and only getting worked up about it more and more, won't help you feel less frustration, will it?
Hunt has their problems, especially when it comes to optimization/bugs, and whatnot, but Crytek is actively working on fixing a lot of these issues.
Don't forget that Crytek isn't a AAA studio that can throw unlimited amounts of money onto the problem until it disappears, but also has lot of other things to worry about, especially since trying to get back onto the right way after the problems in the past.
It would be more productive and would probably help you more, to write detailed posts in channels like #feedback , #game-ideas or reaching out via customer support.

[gray aurora]

game is just giving you chance to progress faster

[turbid dock]

The recent chinese review bombings on steam mention a bunch of connectivity issues so it seems like it's specifically a chinese issue?

[rocky citrus]

ok bro
Thank you for your understanding.
I feel much better now.

[turbid dock]

mayhaps big jinping added hunt to the great firewall

truly tragic

[rocky citrus]

I also really like this game, although it still has many problems.

For now, we can only silently hope that the problems with this game will be improved in the future.

[rocky citrus]

I remember the official update was a few hundred megabytes in size, and after the update, game problems started appearing frequently; this problem wasn't common before.

I've spent 829.8 hours on HUNT, with a total of 53.8 hours played in the last two weeks.
The game has unique gameplay and is highly competitive.
but Crytek itself has too many problems.

[dense girder]

WHAT

829 hours in the past two weeks

May I learn your power

[queen swan]

Hey, the new event is inferno right? Where is the inferno map? I've been playing for a 3 days now and no inferno

[rocky citrus]

I've always been a fan of modern warfare FPS games, and when I first learned about HUNT, I wasn't interested in this kind of game with its outdated themes and weapons.
After playing PUBG for 1200 hours, I wanted to switch to another game, so I researched HUNT for a while and started playing it.
After discovering that the game wasn't as bad as I initially thought, I found the gameplay quite good. However, everything changed after the 1896 update. Poor optimization, drastically altered graphics, and frequent bugs made my gaming experience increasingly worse.

[tall canopy]

Bad luck

It's in the game

[queen swan]

Its an new event, the map condition asn't in the game for ages now and they can't boost the drop of the map?

competent devs lol

[wooden ember]

bruh 2/3 matches I got inferno just go and play

Instead of crying

[tall canopy]

Iirc the was more fire when it was released. It's just bad luck

[queen swan]

well I didn't

[normal radish]

imagine its a rainy day

but instead of water its fire

[wooden ember]

And you take tick damage every time ur under the fire rain

That would be peak

[normal radish]

just become fireproof

cant do that? skill issue

just in the past 3 comments we have someone complaining about too much inferno and one about too lil inferno

[rocky citrus]

I've noticed that since the return of the fire map, rain maps have become increasingly rare.
The probability of rainy day maps appearing has decreased significantly.

[gray aurora]

I have had more rainy maps than inferno

[rocky citrus]

mabye we could learn from PUBG and let players choose their own maps and weather.

[rocky citrus]

Okay, I'm the exact opposite of you.

[normal radish]

hunt cant do that

much muCH MUCH lower players base would result in desolate lobbies

[rocky citrus]

Maybe……

[normal radish]

however, if we have a cycle of weather and day time

like trakov, possibly a dyad.

[rocky citrus]

but To expand HUNT player base, compromises that appeal to a wider audience must be made.

[normal radish]

thatd give players some room, and not divide players a lot

[rocky citrus]

Game optimization and graphics must be compromised.

[normal radish]

a wee lil too late for that

[wooden ember]

yeahhhhh that would be a good idea im sure

[normal radish]

hunt had one shot at exanding the horizons and well

lets say they kinda missed

[tall canopy]

Letting the players choose good or bad weather lobbies always resulted in dead bad weather lobbies and ppl that complained about it. Crytek already tried that and it didn't quite work

[rocky citrus]

Really? I haven't heard of them even trying this idea.

idk

[normal radish]

long ago

you could choose your contract

it didnt work

[normal radish]

also i meant like a twin time cycle

with all the weathers possible, at all times and never two at same time

but your right

if it was night or rain vs day

it would be empty af on one side

[rocky citrus]

Why do you think that way?
My opinion is that if they can optimize HUNT1896 better than 1895 and bring back the UI from 1895, then the number of players might increase.
Haven't you noticed that many problems and player attrition started from version 1896, especially that awful UI change?

[rocky citrus]

Okay, I remember now.

[normal radish]

hunt is in 8th year, had its big renovation moment and faileded very failfully

i love hunt, but its just not gonna get any BIG and flashy changes

im 100% positive on that

and thats aight. its gonna last 2 maybe 3 more years PERFECTLY FINE

[rocky citrus]

I share your views and feelings.
mabye He won't change much.

[normal radish]

bro loves hunt like family

respect

[rocky citrus]

yeah The same to you

[timid shard]

i think the hunt loop is perfect

but u cant expect the avg guy to stick with hunt forever

[normal radish]

i do in fact. i have over 6k hous in hunt. i dont have 600 hours shared with my brother LMAO

[timid shard]

ur not the avg guy son

most PRO gamers dont evne have 1k hours on any single game

[normal radish]

it is. and i hope they dont change it much

[warm anvil]

just got wallbanged by a shovel...

[normal radish]

my total hours accumulated on steam is among top 0.01 precentile

[timid shard]

wtfffff

[normal radish]

must have had strong arms

[inner warren]

i only play bounty clash

[normal radish]

well. you are my exact opposite

i never play clash

[inner warren]

i prefer dying in 15min than in 45

[normal radish]

like i think i have 1 match and that was by mistake

[rocky citrus]

I'm thinking, why doesn't Crytek just get acquired by the Chinese company Tencent Games? That way, they'll have enough funds to continue developing their own IPs and acquire enough talented developers to optimize HUNT.

[normal radish]

thats actually both far fetched

but kinda possible

but imma be honest with you, hunt wont change. this is probably a complete product

with some seasonal changes

and its a good product

[rocky citrus]

Or Crytek could simply be acquired by Microsoft.

[mortal cove]

Yeah ehm, no

[rocky citrus]

🤔

[mortal cove]

You clearly have no idea how this works

[late walrus]

please keep tencent away

[mortal cove]

If Crytek was part of Tencent or Microsoft, Hunt would die, then and there

[normal radish]

and you dont really have to overcomplicatedingly explain it to them

[mortal cove]

Because Hunt with it's playercount is not anywhere NEAR profitable enough for entities like MS or Tencent

[granite blade]

would love to spend $5 for 200hp

[normal radish]

50 for immortality

and it has monkey king skin with it

[granite blade]

and infinite darksight off spawn

[rocky citrus]

Okay, this is just an idea, and it's unlikely to come to fruition. Although Crytek collaborated with the Chinese game company Tencent 10 years ago using Cryengine3 to develop online games, it doesn't mean they're willing to acquire Crytek now.

[normal radish]

as i said, very far fetched, but i get its coming from a place of love for this game

instead of hoping for something greater to happen

i suggest ejoying hunt while it lasts

[mortal cove]

Tencent from a decade ago is not anywhere near the Tencent that exists today

Tencent has killed off games with 6-digit playercounts before

Because it wasn't a game that generated GTA V or Fortnite money

[rocky citrus]

yes

[mortal cove]

Tencent's standards for what a successful game looks like are beyond absurd in 2026

[normal radish]

ngl chinese are kinda going good in the market

[mortal cove]

For now

[normal radish]

i havent seen a projection chart yet

but based on what i simply observed

they cant be making too many wrong decisions lately

[rocky citrus]

Tencent now owns EPIC and Unreal Engine, so you know what that means.

[normal radish]

it means it has 1 % of gabes power, because he allowed it, being the allmighty lord he is

for an illusion of competition

[rocky citrus]

Tencent is frequently criticized by gamers in China because it's seen as the Chinese version of EA Games, and it's also aggressively investing in game studios to achieve a monopolistic position in the gaming industry. It's a truly formidable investment company.

[urban steppe]

if players could do that
there would be 0 night, fog, and rain maps

most people would be avoiding mammons like the plague

[rocky citrus]

All right……It seems this feature is not suitable for this game.

[urban steppe]

if you've played hunt long enough
like before this event

you must have run into guys who'd bee line to extract if the weather was bad

[mortal cove]

It's literally the same CapEx injection that the western games industry got from the excact same entities during COVID

It's money that won't last for the most part.

[normal radish]

its not half bad, for a rising company, but its nowhere near monopolistic

[mortal cove]

The reason these entities are investing into chinese studios is because of labor costs.... which increases the chances of higher ROI

[normal radish]

hmm. well they sure got a swollen ego, ive seen in interviews

[tall canopy]

Afaik crytek can't even be just bought by a bigger company cause they not on the market or smth. It's a private company right?

[normal radish]

they want to change the gaming scene entirely

[urban steppe]

isn't it owned by like a brother duo in germany

[mortal cove]

Hostile takeovers can always happen

Just needs a private equity company like Blackrock

[urban steppe]

doubtful

Hunt isn't exactly the most popular game around

[rocky citrus]

Are you sure? Tencent currently holds shares in many large game developers in Europe, the US, and France, and the stakes are not small.
It cannot be ruled out that future large-scale AAA game development will be subject to interference.

[tall canopy]

U sure? If it's privately owned nobody can buy it without the owners giving in right?

[normal radish]

LIES its the bestest game ever

[urban steppe]

you right

[normal radish]

even half life 3 wont overtake hunt in popularity

[urban steppe]

that is cause it doesn't exist 😼

#HuntHeads rise up

[random nimbus]

Burn the rats

[tall canopy]

[rocky citrus]

So I thought that Crytek being acquired by Microsoft would be a better choice than a Chinese company like Tencent.
Although both companies are very wealthy

[normal radish]

its because hunt was so great

half life 3 got cancelled duh

[urban steppe]

[urban steppe]

They didn't want to lose at the game awards

[normal radish]

luu said sth worth thinking about, they are making money that wont last. making it last is the hard thing

[tall canopy]

Both would be awful
I don't want fooking tencent or Microsoft to buy any cool independent game devs and fuck them up

[normal radish]

poor valve

[tall canopy]

That's why steam awards exist and is cooler

[normal radish]

imagine if gabe actually 3 ed

like a lot of 3s

i mean FFS even one 3 would shake the planet

[tall canopy]

Would love a l4d source 2

Imagine them releasing source 3

[normal radish]

shit

somewhere there was a small earth quake just because of that being said

this is the era of steam.

its been a long and strong run

[rocky citrus]

You're right. Microsoft's recent exorbitant acquisition of a game studio, followed by its subsequent dissolution for various reasons, is indeed a major headache.
But given Crytek's current financial situation, how long do you think they, or HUNT, can hold on?
There may still be hope for an acquisition.

[normal radish]

i hope it keeps going as strong or even stronger, for as along as our lord and savior gabe lives

[raven totem]

it would likely do better to contact support to try and resolve why the disconnects are happening.

[random nimbus]

I hate that Microsoft is seen as that now over EA in recent memory XD

[tall canopy]

I hope for no acquisition at all. The Playercount is steadily rising for the last couple of updates

[random nimbus]

EA was always known as the studio killer

[tall canopy]

Both are. Most bigger publisher are shit. Ea, rockstar, Ubisoft etc

[random nimbus]

At least Ubishit is going under

[rocky citrus]

ok bro

[normal radish]

the last great game they made and then started killing stuff was da 3

I checked HUNT's peak concurrent player count, and it only reached around 60,000 players at that time, when the server was overloaded and crashed. However, the weekly concurrent player count has now dropped to 20,000-30,000.

[normal radish]

30k is absoluely great for hunt

[tall canopy]

Check steamdb. The Playercount gets higher every update. Don't compare it to it's last peak

[normal radish]

they wont disband for sure

[granite blade]

dropped? i remember when it was peak 11k

[normal radish]

but, under new directives

[raven totem]

the peak was also inflated due to being a free weekend

[tall canopy]

Last couple of updates hunt peaked at more than 40k when events started and kept 30k weekly players

[normal radish]

yeh, it seems they managed to cater to more people after all with some

questionable changes

[random nimbus]

Ain't the lowest they've been, but it's pretty bad XD

[tall canopy]

Also last couple of updates where great imo, fixing tons of stuff, making the ui better etc etc

[rocky citrus]

yes This is also what I wanted to say: if HUNT could reach 300,000 to 600,000 daily PUBG players, then HUNT and Crytek wouldn't be having such a difficult time.

[normal radish]

hunt is such a niche game that, in no world it would happen, though its a nice dream

[tall canopy]

Hunt is not a top 1% game. It's still niche and still has a steady player base. What else do you want

[turbid dock]

Ubi splitting assassins creed and far cry into a subsidiary is probably one of the best moves they could have done

[normal radish]

thats, all things considered, rock bottom dont you agree lmao

[rocky citrus]

Hunt: Showdown has never had a large player base, likely because most players are at work, while the number of online players is much higher at night, averaging around 30,000 players online on nights and weekends.

[normal radish]

yep it was a a smart move after a lotta dayumb moves

[random nimbus]

It being near the worst point in like 14 years is pretty bad, yeah XD

That's a HUGE fall

wha

[random nimbus]

You didn't see the two posts that got yeeted?

[rocky citrus]

You're right, but too few players can't sustain the game's operation and Crytek revenue. This is evident from Crytek update frequency and bug fixes.

[normal radish]

did i miss a discord update or what lol

yet it doesnt have one of the most effectives crude weapons ever made

[random nimbus]

...are the fires out or something?

[normal radish]

oh its getting old

[rocky citrus]

Crytek could perhaps learn from PUBG experience and develop Android and iOS versions of Hunt: Showdown, or even a version with extremely low system requirements like PUBG Lite.
A multi-faceted strategy can expand the player base and increase players' willingness to pay.
Never underestimate Android and iOS players; their willingness to pay is very high.

[normal radish]

can someone please?

[normal radish]

hunt mobile? thats a big, large, giGANTIC NOPE.

[whole furnace]

Show me a game with hunts graphics that can run on a phone and we can maybe talk lol

The amount of downgrades to the LOD and clutter to even make it run at 30fps would be staggering

[normal radish]

there ARE games that look kinda hunt ish at low graphics

but with a lot of differences

also i dont think crytek has the means for a phone port

[rocky citrus]

Mobile processors now offer performance capable of running PC games directly and have reached the level of a GTX 1070 or even higher.

[normal radish]

yep, 1070 sounds about 40 fps low hunt

maybe a lil more

unstable too

[tall canopy]

You are still comparing hunt to the most successful games wich are completely different games

Wich makes no sense

[normal radish]

no i think it was a "make hunt mobile" thing

wasnt it?

[whole furnace]

Also PUBG mobile looks like shit

[normal radish]

its fun for a phone game

[normal radish]

but its a phone game

[whole furnace]

Just nowhere near the baseline clutter needed for Hunt

[tall canopy]

Also stop comparing hunt to pugb wth 😭

[rocky citrus]

Have you played any Gameloft games on Android and iOS? Their games have amazing graphics and are very well optimized; it's a shame the company was acquired. Also, MADFINGER Games Death Trigger game has really good graphics.

[normal radish]

i have played those yep

they are great but

you see there are some technical stuff that need a baseline

[light sky]

those are very closed enviroment games

[normal radish]

like a bare minimum

like if you want to build a skyscrapper

you need at least an acre of land

or something

[tall canopy]

Isn't Gameloft just a mobile Micro Transaction game dev?

[normal radish]

was, and it was great

at the time

[light sky]

PUBG Mobile doesn't look that bad when you got a high gamma phone, even pretty

can't type

[tall canopy]

No one can

[normal radish]

at least now i dont feel like im the odd one out

[tall canopy]

U shouldn't even open it

While mobile phones aren't ideal for playing PC games, devices like Android tablets or Apple tablets are more suitable.

[normal radish]

porting a portable game

[tall canopy]

U r looking for easy answers for a complicated issue, that's not really that big of an issue.

Hunt is going good right now.

[rocky citrus]

Guys, imagine what it would be like to play HUNT on an Android or iOS device while lying in bed. I think the experience would be pretty good.

[tall canopy]

A mobile version of hunt won't do shit

[tall canopy]

[normal radish]

tbf i never paid attention, i just assumed 60 days

[rocky citrus]

Hey guys, you seem to have a bias against Android or iOS platforms. Have you forgotten that HUNT is an online game that can be updated with patches to improve content and optimize performance, and that mobile processors are becoming increasingly powerful – that's an undeniable fact?

[normal radish]

my bad i guess

[manic sinew]

Same btw

[normal radish]

yes i have a bias

[manic sinew]

Weirdly happens

[normal radish]

i think phone gaming is not as great as pc

[tall canopy]

ATP it's trolling tbh

[normal radish]

phone gaming is swamp attack and angry birds to me lmao

[balmy wyvern]

i see

[whole furnace]

Not really a bias, just don't think Hunt lends itself well to be on phone.
Especially not 8 years down the line, it hardly is a good game for console in many regards.
There are just thousand limitations and hurdles to overcome for Hunt to work on mobile.

It would have to be its own whole new game and system.

[mortal nebula]

Damn I hope you're okay

[random nimbus]

I don't think phone gaming of PC games will ever take off

[granite blade]

i miss playing star warfare on android

[normal radish]

OH OH i love ps1 games on phone. but thats it

[rocky citrus]

Okay, the idea that HUNT is learning PUBG and launching Android and iOS versions is just my personal opinion.
It's unlikely to happen, but I still have hope.
maby refers to the next 10 or 20 years.

[normal radish]

ah thank you. im far from okay but my spirit is unbreakable.

[random nimbus]

I've emulated a lot of games on my phone, but if I want to play something that bad that I'd settle for it on my phone over my PC, I'm probably getting a bit too addicted to either my phone or games in general

[whole furnace]

Hunt and Pubg are difference games.
Hunt is not as easily translatable to phone as pubg is.

[normal radish]

and as it turns out ive just got enough health organs to play hunt. coinicidence?

i think not. gods of hunt look upon me with favor

[mortal nebula]

Wtf happened lmao

[rocky citrus]

👀 Enable Cryengine SDK to support Android and iOS game development

[normal radish]

my entire problem with phone gaming is that i hold it in two hands i feel kinda ashamed in public lol. im kinda big and i just feel bad for some reason

[whole furnace]

"Enable", said like it is just a switch they need to turn on lol

[mortal nebula]

What are you an EOD technician?

em yes, thats as far as i can say here, its not the place

[whole furnace]

Divine justice mandated you have to endure more Hunt.

[normal radish]

but yes a bomb

[mortal nebula]

[normal radish]

a jdam actually

[random nimbus]

I'm super tiny and I hate doing things like that in public lol

[normal radish]

and endure i will

[normal radish]

BROTHAHx brothah you and me lmao

[random nimbus]

I get wanting something to do in public on like the bus or something, but I don't want my attention removed from my surroundings that much

[normal radish]

there was a meme for that im sure

[rocky citrus]

Yes, you're absolutely right. What I meant was exactly what you thought: the Android and iOS versions are independent of the PC and console versions, and are specifically developed for Android and iOS.

[whole furnace]

I mean yeah, they could I guess.
But as far I am aware Crytek have no experience in developing for phones.

[random nimbus]

Another question is if it's going to be even worth the time to make on Mobile

Hunt is definitely not the kind of lower investment game you can just play for a little bit while waiting on the subway or something

[mortal cove]

As long as the EU regulations on the mobile gaming dark patterns don't apply... yet

Mobile gamine and the whaling for mtx is insanely lucrative

[tall canopy]

wasting big time and even bigger money to develop a phone version that nobody will play only to kill the game and company

[mortal nebula]

I mean I read on my phone in public I guess

[normal radish]

im easily the center of attention in public places, shaved big head with scars and features on my face, large body size and long beard. im a kind hearted man i just look intimidating but still im kinda shy to be playing games in public lol. personal issues but still. i prefer gaming at my pc desk

[random nimbus]

Yeah, as much backlash as Diablo Immortal got when they announced it, iirc they made TONS of money off it

[rocky citrus]

Perhaps they could use their spare time to learn or directly acquire experienced single-player mobile game developers like Gameloft and MADFINGER Games.

[random nimbus]

People who play phone games seem apt to just waste money on them

[mortal cove]

Luckily, less money than Diablo 3 made

[normal radish]

is it okay to say that there are modded versions of them for free or will i get banned

[mortal nebula]

I remember one dude spent $500k on Diablo immortal

[random nimbus]

I'd rather just wait until I got home, yeah. If my options are fiddle with my phone version of a game or play it on my PC, I'd choose to just do my business in town and play when I get home

[normal radish]

dayum

[rocky citrus]

Absolutely right, that's why I've been emphasizing the hope that they'll develop an Android or iOS version of HUNT.

[whole furnace]

Most people like to have time off and also EU laws lol

[normal radish]

BUT

BUT

we

do NOT

want a more monetized hunt

right? right everyone?

[mortal nebula]

He made a video complaining about not being able to matchmake against anyone (his gear score was too high or smth) but everyone was just clowning him for spending that much on a game

[whole furnace]

If Crytek made a phone spin-off for Hunt and that was that sure, I don't care.
But not nothing I need

[random nimbus]

Would it be even worth Crytek's time to invest in either?

[mortal nebula]

I mean

Maybe?

[normal radish]

500k, if i had that much money youd see me on your news feed for doing something good for humanity not even joking lmao

[mortal cove]

In short, no

[random nimbus]

Heck, I'd rather see them make a mobile cardgame or something

The artwork they do is great

[rocky citrus]

All right……

[random nimbus]

Turn that into something for mobile if they decide to do anything on mobile

[normal radish]

mobile hunt card game

now that aint bad

it can even be alright

gwent wasnt bad so im optimistic

[mortal nebula]

A hunt board game would go so hard

Or card game

[rocky citrus]

Oh, come on, man! If you want this game you love to continue, and for its developer to survive, you have to find a way to make more money and attract more players.

[normal radish]

hunt board game, MY FKING KING GOT DISCONNECTED SO I LOST, peak 10/10

[random nimbus]

You run a very high risk of backfiring overmonetizing the game

[mortal nebula]

Can we have officially sponsored rotjaw/scrapbeak/beetle plushies

I'd buy those too

[whole furnace]

I mean, Crytek seems to be tugging along decently atm.

Soo

[random nimbus]

I think everyone that played during the old BB days can say they were handed out like candy. But now they're extremely scarce as a guaranteed source in gameplay per week

[mortal cove]

In long:

You need to

• make a new subdivision,
• hire mobile expertise staff,
• create a branch of CryEngine hyperoptimised for Arm64 mobile chipsets,
• create a mobile version of Hunt using that new CryEngine branch
• hire marketers / analysts to have a more optimal mobile launch
• spend tons of money on additional advertising

And after all that and vast sums of money spent MAYBE make your money back lmao @random nimbus

[whole furnace]

Thanks

[normal radish]

i have played this game, for a very long, long and full of memories time. probably more than most people talking here, and more than 90% of hunt players. i have enjoyed it, loved it. cared for it, and now its time that i start to let go.

[rocky citrus]

But do you think they have the ability to withstand risks? They currently only have this one project operating, and they even suspended the development of Crysis 4 and laid off staff to stabilize the situation.
Everything is temporary; the future is unknown.

[normal radish]

TIME TO WASTE TIME ON HUNT CLONE HUNGER HAHAHAAH

[mortal cove]

Making a mobile version of Hunt is stupid

It's an unreasonably risky bet

[mortal nebula]

I lost interest in hunger when it showed it was gonna have rarity based loot

[mortal cove]

And I rather not see Crytek bankrupt thrice

[normal radish]

hey now, you could use kinder words

seraph is putting love in the words

i get the feeling

[random nimbus]

Sometimes the blunt answer is the best lol

[mortal cove]

I call it ignorance

[warm anvil]

Only a moderately suspicious player that I just ran into, he just knew where I was, peeked me through a window crazy fast and headshot me, although he could just be insanely cracked because again, no matchmaking protection shoves me into 6 star lobbies -_-

[mortal cove]

And I have thin tolerance for ignorance

[whole furnace]

If they wanna risk minimize, they sure ain't gonna make a whole ass mobile game from scrap without any prior experience for it.

[normal radish]

you mean correct person

[whole furnace]

What do you mean with "no matchmaking protection"?

[mortal cove]

Were you running or walking?

[normal radish]

bro that was old like 2 years ago

[rocky citrus]

what……So Don't you care about this game and Crytek anymore?

[mortal cove]

How far away from the player were you?

[normal radish]

i do, in fact because of my injuries i didnt play hunt for a month

and damn i did everything i could

to get well and play hunt

[rocky citrus]

All right，bro

[normal radish]

i doubt there are many people that love hunt as much as i do

statistically

but im also looking at facts

its like a flower garden

full of rosess

mesmerising beauty for a week

[mortal cove]

I do

I love it more

[normal radish]

hunt lasted 8 years, pretty fking awesome for rose garden

[mortal cove]

I've been playing the fucking thing for >8 years

[rocky citrus]

I think you and everyone else should understand that if we maintain the status quo and don't try to make changes, then miracles won't happen.

[normal radish]

ehem, same

you less

im bigger than you so i hold more love in me

[mortal cove]

Yo mama was a Day 0

[normal radish]

[mortal cove]

[mortal cove]

Must have gotten that from yo mama as well

[normal radish]

at least my mama played hunt, yours didnt

[whole furnace]

Dunno man, you talk like it is a "do or die" situation, but Hunt seems to be tucking along just fine and Crytek seems to have caught back up with the troubles they had prior.
You want Hunt mobile fine, but don't try to make it about some sort of great good.

[normal radish]

yes, my mom gave a strong body that even bombs and bullets cant discard, unlike your shift+deletable carcass

Bro, you seem to have forgotten that CryEngine's code is already open source on GitHub; the rest can be left to the developers of the CryEngine Community Edition.

[young panther]

[lethal steeple]

are eu servers down

[turbid dock]

Crytek isn't a publically traded company though, it's private, so the shareholders might not be pushing for growing profits infinitely. All a company and its owners and employees needs to survive is a consistent income stream

[normal radish]

yeh

and im p sure we are giving them with the dlcs and stuff

[rocky citrus]

😅 All right
I just hoped that the huge player market on Android and iOS could bring new vitality to HUNT and more revenue to Crytek; it was all just wishful thinking on my part.

[normal radish]

we all share love for hunt here

thats common

but its not a pandemoniom

[mortal cove]

Damn Look at Venum using a strong noun like that

Venum lmao

That is a funny af typo

[normal radish]

happened when it should too

also im sure i typed at least 60% of it korrectlee

[turbid dock]

The western game developer industry has been struggling a bit for a few years now, leading to layoffs and such, and that makes companies unwilling to take risks. They'd rather just survive until the market is safer

[mortal cove]

What you are meant so say is that companies overhired because for whatever insane reason they thought COVID money would just be forever

[rocky citrus]

ok bro

[turbid dock]

Lol probably

[normal radish]

you saying it like that almost makes one feel like covid was just a money trap by mega corps

WHICH IS ENTIRELY TOTALY FALSE RIGHT

[earnest geyser]

eu servers are kinda wonky atm

[mortal cove]

I will stop you there right here, no politics

We are right on the line

[normal radish]

ye my bad, but i was talking about gaming coprs

mega gaming corps

[earnest geyser]

getting the orange symbol all the time

[normal radish]

just to be clear

[mortal cove]

Yeah and that scenario didn't exist in a vacuum, talking about that though would veer into political discussion

[timid shard]

there's also a lot of outsourcing

[normal radish]

yeh probably.

[bitter hatch]

Does the Brute chase poisoned Hunters as well as bleeding ones?

[normal radish]

i mean the entire convo is borderline politics

[turbid dock]

This is also the reason so many game developers have been partially or fully acquired by the large corps like microsoft and tencent. Rough economies just lead to the biggest actors quietly acquiring more assets 😔

[normal radish]

lets not be entirely negative about it

surely there have been some good productive overtakes?

[mortal cove]

Blizzard

[normal radish]

hmm not bad yeh

[mortal cove]

Bobby Kotick sold a sinking ship to Microsoft and made a shitton of money doing so

One hell of a rugpull that one

[mortal cove]

Bungie Sony deal would be in a similar tier

[normal radish]

well let me rephrase, good continued productive take overs that resulted in a stable outcome

we can lookt at positvely

[mortal cove]

Krafton aquiring the Subnautica devs

[normal radish]

i mean, yeh? why not

[mortal cove]

Reminder that every dollar you spend on Subnautica 2 means Krafton losses 3 dollars

[normal radish]

but

its not really that stable and productive anymore as ive heard

some backlash by a bad deal or something i heard

[turbid dock]

I'm trying to think of overall positive examples

[normal radish]

isnt there ANY take over that is positive

[turbid dock]

Like even the microsoft zenimax acquisition was kind of a mixed bag no?

[normal radish]

like 1

[normal radish]

hmm

[mortal cove]

To put it short:

Part of the aquisition deal was that Krafton pays the studio a massive 9-figure bonus for releasing the game in a certain unrealistic timeframe.

The studio managed to actually make the game in that timeframe regardless

CEO tried cutting leadership to put the project in disarray to not pay the sum

Leadership sued and won

[normal radish]

oh damn, there was a lot more drama to it but yeh

bad dealers

[turbid dock]

Sony has generally been doing a good job with putting their acquired studios to work but they've also shut down like a billion of them

[mortal cove]

1 of 23 live service games released successfully btw.

[normal radish]

some big projects let downs there too

[mortal cove]

[normal radish]

nah nah nope

[mortal cove]

IDK if I would call Sony putting their aquisitions to good work

[normal radish]

sony

[mortal cove]

21 of 23 live service games cancelled and 2/3rds of the studios working on those games were canned entirely

[turbid dock]

I'm thinking of like, insomniac, or naughty dog, though those aren't very recent acquisitions

[mortal cove]

1 of those 23 is still in development but also looks terrible

[normal radish]

3 entire franchises were shot down, all popular

[mortal cove]

Helldivers 2 managed to be the sole successful live service game by Sony

[frosty stone]

is this game fun

[normal radish]

sony is the exact opposite of what i had in mind

[turbid dock]

Arkane Austin being shut down was such a gigantic crime

[normal radish]

no

[dry hawk]

sometimes

[frosty stone]

would you recommend this game

[mortal cove]

[normal radish]

dishonored, wolfenstein

man these games

[turbid dock]

Arkane lyon still exists, fortunately

[normal radish]

shouldnt have died

[mortal cove]

Don't forget Typhon

Xenamax can suck a fat one for forcing the studio to call the game Prey

[normal radish]

bro

BROOOOO

you are fking right

[fresh frigate]

Why is Crytek nerfing the battle pass speed? Not everyone is jobless and have time or will to grind for a long time just to avoid FOMO

[normal radish]

thats all i can say about prey

[turbid dock]

Depends on the kinds of games you like, but if it clicks with you, hunt hits like pure crack

[normal radish]

and its sequels

sequel!

[granite blade]

wdym battlepass speed is great rn, every challenge = 1 level

[frosty stone]

whats a game you can compare it to

[mortal cove]

Typhon is a rare gem in the immersive sim genre

[neon glacier]

if you like dishonored theres a new game called thick as thieves that feels similar it could be played solo or duo

[fresh frigate]

In the next update they are nerfing that

[mortal cove]

Would you recommend Minecraft?

[normal radish]

i know of it, but our point is different here

[turbid dock]

Just needs a couple of years in the oven after they changed it from pvpve to pve lol

[normal radish]

still

we havent reached 1 positive take over

and i think we pretty much covered all the important ones?

[mortal cove]

Re-Logic aquiring the Tmodloader team

[frosty stone]

i mean.....honestly yeah especially since they have some cool mods now so

[mortal cove]

for modded terraria to become an official part of the game

[mortal cove]

There you go, answered your own question Now play HUnt

[normal radish]

oh not bad

[frosty stone]

understandable....ill download it tonight sir

[normal radish]

its actually somewhat close to a hunt case

but for that, a moded hunt should exist

[turbid dock]

Hmm, it's obviously kind of an extraction shooter like tarkov or arc raiders, but there's much less focus on loot, more focus on pvp.

The gunplay is very unique, can't think of many other games like it. It's very slow, methodical, and tactical, since you spend a lot of time between shots cycling your gun, reloading, healing up, etc

For new players there's also a decent bit of a horror vibe to the game, though it transitions more into chess with guns when you get better

nothing feels like hunt tbh

[mortal cove]

Being the only objective based extraction shooter on the market gives you some of that exclusive feeling real estate

[normal radish]

bro i played 6k hours and im still considered rookie against some vets, thats how people love this game

also hunt has william moses

[turbid dock]

The only objective based extraction shooter, and the only game with this kind of slow cycle time gunplay

[mortal cove]

I am still for changing John Victor to John Showdown

[normal radish]

slow cycle gunplay when you are more than 20 yards away

[late walrus]

mate

[normal radish]

he is john showdown, cant change my mind

[late walrus]

youre asking if people would recommend hunt in the hunt discord

in the hunt chat

what do you think theyre gonna say 😭

[cedar trellis]

slightly bad matchmaking me thinks

[warm anvil]

No

[warm anvil]

3 star here getting matched consistently versus 6 star

[turbid dock]

Epic acquiring psyonix kinda murdered rocket league for a while but it looks like they might be investing some more effort into it in the near future, making it a flagship game for UE6

[mortal cove]

Before Fortnite too

[normal radish]

RL flagship for ue 6?

[mortal cove]

Which is lowk funny

[normal radish]

damn

thats kinda risky not positive

[warm anvil]

I'm glad that we can anonyomise our stats cause getting harassed over bad stats is a massive issue in like literally any moderately competitive game

[normal radish]

just find other people with similar set of skills

friendzone them and play with them

[warm anvil]

Can't

[normal radish]

why

[turbid dock]

Yeah, i really wonder how well it will go

[normal radish]

if i may ask

[warm anvil]

Lot of people are like "oh he has like less than 100 hours and has no clue what he's doing"

[turbid dock]

Maybe cdpr has whipped some sense into epic and UE6 will finally be documented well and easy to make optimized games with

[normal radish]

yeh well they are right

[warm anvil]

I have been having so many shots just disappear midair...

[normal radish]

at less than 100 hours you dont have a clue

but thats not gonna stop you from getting friends

or some vets to help you out

[turbid dock]

Wdym, at 100 hours you've probably taken like a thousand clues

[mortal cove]

Technically correct But you'll find people that enjoy playing with you regardless

[normal radish]

aight not bad

7,10 for the ffort

[turbid dock]

Thank you

I try my best

[normal radish]

and

shots dont disappear mid air

they travel

[mortal cove]

You disappear midair

[normal radish]

even at close ranges that travel speed needs some calculation

[warm anvil]

Explain how my shotguns are missing point blank

Explain why I shoot a stationary dude and the bullet just doesn't hit?

[dull ibex]

Anyone else having latency issues?

[normal radish]

almost happened, twice

[frosty stone]

some people have love hate relationships with game

[neon glacier]

yea its so bad rn

[normal radish]

you might be whiffing

[frosty stone]

take brawlhalla for example. i have 1900 hours in the game. and i would tell people to avoid that game like the plague \

[normal radish]

try recording your games

[turbid dock]

Some shotguns have surprisingly tight spread compared to many other games, you could genuinely be missing by a few centimeters

[dull ibex]

idk what happened. Went from having 20-30 ping to consistent 70+

[normal radish]

a lot of these "I SWEAR I HIT THEM" are whifs

[neon glacier]

eu servers shitting themselves as usual

[mortal cove]

I mean, we all have a love hate relationship with HUnt

Because Hunt giveth and Hunt taketh away

[pearl meadow]

true

[normal radish]

yeh thats

yeh

[mortal cove]

Today I had a big Hunt taketh away day

I lost all my rounds

[pearl meadow]

Hunt taketh everything from me

[mortal cove]

Got 1-2 kills at most

[normal radish]

like you win any

[late walrus]

not bad enough to tell you to hop off

[mortal cove]

Happy you agree

[pearl meadow]

Better than none, good job

[late walrus]

even alot of tarkov players will tell you to buy the game

[mortal cove]

Still feels terrible when I had multible days 2 weeks ago where I did 6-8 kills a round

[normal radish]

with a tangible hate in their words

[mortal cove]

After such a crazy winstreak it just feels bad

[normal radish]

when?

[neon glacier]

if u get 1 good day at hunt prepare for ur worst next 2 days

[frosty stone]

hmmm would you subject this kind of torture to your friends so you wouldnt play alone?

[normal radish]

its all a cycle

[pearl meadow]

Ooh yeah that's pretty good!!

[normal radish]

my good day is someones bad day

[late walrus]

what

[normal radish]

so my bad one is someones good day

[pearl meadow]

my good day is like a first time players bad day

[late walrus]

my bad day turns into everyones bad day cause ill start running a dolch

[pearl meadow]

I love the dolchhh

[normal radish]

[normal radish]

my bad day used to make me prestige

[crystal holly]

Could we get a hunter that has origins from 🇵🇹

[pearl meadow]

after like 800 hrs I gave up but I should play again

[normal radish]

just because i was like fk it lets reset

[normal radish]

you didnt even go past tutorial bro

at least play 1k then give up

[late walrus]

i am at 900 hours so far

[normal radish]

your not at your fullest potential

[pearl meadow]

hahahah I suck too much but it made me a god at other games

[normal radish]

if by 1k hours you still feel shit towards the game drop it

if not

[late walrus]

no i love the game

[normal radish]

ill see you at 5 k

at least

[late walrus]

loved the game through all the 900 hours

[normal radish]

hmm

[neon glacier]

i love the game

[late walrus]

lmao

[normal radish]

hunt usually off tracks me from other games

[crystal holly]

Could we get a hunter that has origins from 🇵🇹

[neon glacier]

yes sir

[pearl meadow]

It's cuz I controller hunt and ik i shouldnt

[deft patrol]

Anyone else having DC issues in the game rn? I've just come back from a year off, fine this morning and now all of a sudden I keep DC'ing

[crystal holly]

That would be cool

[neon glacier]

everyone

[deft patrol]

thanks

Glad it's not just me, good to know. ty

[normal radish]

oh well, yes you shouldnt

respectfuly

[pearl meadow]

I get that a lot LOL but keyboard hurts my hands sm

[normal radish]

NOW BE BLASTED WITH RAVE CAINS ASS

[normal radish]

just try harder

you can do it i believe in you

dont murder hunt please

[pearl meadow]

Thank you pookie

[normal radish]

im saying that out of personal experience

[frosty stone]

the game i mean

[normal radish]

my left hand got wrecked by a shotgun, and i still can play hunt with keyboard, so if someone like me can others definitely can

[pearl meadow]

Oh u mean try harder w the keyboard not the controller

I will try but only for u

[normal radish]

i say it because i like hunt a lot, i hope i didnt impose any uneasy feelings on you

i feel like hunt is best enjoyed with keayboard and mouse

[neon glacier]

playing hunt pc with controller is like torturing urself

[frosty stone]

is there a youtuber that i can watch that showcases the game well?

[late walrus]

i wouldnt tell anyone to buy a game purely to make it more fun for me

[pearl meadow]

It really is LOL

[frosty stone]

every time i look up the game its always a youtuber posting high kill games

[late walrus]

i would tell them to buy it cause its fun

[normal radish]

rexnor, rachtaz, psycho ghost.

[mortal nebula]

Rachtaz, psychoghost, hornet, rexnor

[pearl meadow]

I love rexnor

He's a hunt god

[frosty stone]

got it

[granite blade]

watch on twitch

[granite blade]

dont forget whityyy the goat

[short halo]

Psychoghost or RachtaZ

[crystal holly]

Yes rachatz

[normal radish]

yeh he is aight 100%

[mortal nebula]

Most YouTubers tend to post highlights as clips where they die instantly tend to be short and boring

[normal radish]

i dont watch a lotta streams

a little for fun times

[mortal nebula]

I don't really like watching streams

[normal radish]

and the most fun ones are rexnor and hornet i assume

[mortal nebula]

Rexnor is funny and pretty good. Hornet is just insane at the game

Like an actual god

[next mesa]

Rexnor is good. Can't forget about Neenoh, either.

[neon glacier]

most of them play solo which is way diffrent from teams

[normal radish]

im kinda jaded towards feats they pull, i usually want some kinda meme tricks or some funny thing from them

they are adequate players all of em

[whole furnace]

In what mode?

[scenic plinth]

hornet is the best, though a part of me feels that neenoh is the best because he wins even with memes, like killing with lantern only

[normal radish]

rexnor pulled a move that made me chuckle

[whole furnace]

I think I've done all the meme tricks you can do in Hunt by now

or rather trick shots

[normal radish]

well

same

thats why i watch streams to find more

[neon glacier]

i like neenoh he just good at the game and plays whatever not just meta

[normal radish]

those guys know entertainment better than i do

[whole furnace]

Can I offer: Ricochet a waxed frag around the corner and kill them with the impact and not explosion?

[normal radish]

lol i died to that

does that count

[whole furnace]

.... did I kill you

[short halo]

Spawn kill from your spawn with T knives ?

[normal radish]

mayhaps. it did happen once

[pearl meadow]

I just looked up hornet he is a godddd

[whole furnace]

My kill was at Nichols prison.

[normal radish]

hmmmm

it was really a long time ago

but it was enclosed

[whole furnace]

I tagged them with a mosin obrez and then they ran out.
I have the clip, but it from my friend's stream bc my recording didn't work.
But luckily she had died and was spectating me lol

[normal radish]

i have gotten kills with direct impacts but not with waxed

[normal radish]

do you play eu?

[whole furnace]

Yes

[normal radish]

oh luckily that wasnt me lol, i dont play that hunter lol

phew

i only play redshirt and john
