Whoa this game is still alive?
I honestly didn't even know rain was coming back until yesterday>t. 3500 hours
KING is taking applications post your best frag vid below
>decide to have a few drinks and play with rain re-added>play like 10 games>not a single one was rainyI don't understand this trend of 're-release thing we removed previously that people really want to return after a year and then barely let you play it'. I'm still always surprised when I get DeSalle

Haven't played in a year, is the spear still the only viable melee weapon? Does double fire trap still almost burn you completely? Did they fix the UI? Any other change I should be aweare of?
>>1910262Spear got it's speed and damage nerfed, throwing axes now carry 3, knives 8.I usually don't bother with a melee tool, there's no downside to bayonet weapons anymore, talons and trauma variants have more recoil though.Alert trip mines burn 25 HP per trap, UI is still worse compared to pre-1896, but better than launch 1896.All maps are now in the game, and rain is available for Desalle and Gulch. I think it's in a good spot now, if this was how 1896 launched it would have been a huge success.
I fucking love rain!

>>1932680>obvious b8 or you're below 5 starI'm 2800 hours inIt's kind of moot to debate about how many hackers there are. There are people(like me) who obviously don't think there is much of an issue, but I've met people who tell me there is someone hacking in every game we play. In the end, no one really knows.My own experiences with cheating in this game are as follows:I notice people who derender foliage and other objects a few times a week. I've met people who use exploits to see further(up to 30ft) through fog. I've met people who mess with the EQ of the game so much that you wouldn't be able to tell the audio is from hunt showdown, but they can tell when you breathe in to ADS from 40ft away. I've met people who congregate in discords dedicated to selling and sharing cheats. TL;DR hunt has the same amount of cheaters as any online game, probably a little bit on the lower end.
>>1907154The redpill is you should assume a good portion of the people you see complaining about cheaters in any given game are coping and falsely accusing people. It really doesn't take anything special to get some people to accuse you.
>>1932680>crytek has openly admitted 10% of playerbase hacksWhen? Where?
Who do you guys play this game with? What is it like?

>>1936405I'm playing with some people I met on hunt official. Been playing with some of the same guys for over a year. I've noticed a lot of players are good at the game, but really bad at playing with team mates.

>>1947690Why didn't anybody tell me how fun medium slot loadouts are? I've never played them until my current prestige and have to say it's a lot of fun. Once I get to medium range I feel very versatile and ready to fight in any situation. >>1947690Been here a while and have realized there's nothing to talk about. I play 75 hours a week, but nothing to post here about. State of the game is good though desu.

>>1949147You dropped from 6* to 4* star. You made it. Also bounty clash has it's own hidden mmr.Game is like this every event, that's for sure. When event starts the player pool is completely bulked out. Even the most casual players are trying out the new content. Your lobbies are much more evenly filled and the majority of the people playing want to play wild and have some fun. At this point in the event there are a bunch of people who've quit and are taking a break until the next event starts. Everyone's finished the battlepass, bored of the event content, and waiting until crytek do something new before they play the game again.The only people hanging around now and until the next event starts are the no lifers and the sweats. People who play this game like a mil sim, people who sit on random parts of the map and try to snipe people to increase their kd, people who sit outside of scan range until they know they're the last team in the lobby to push. The absolute scum of the earth. There is a chinese bili bili streamer(EU servers btw) with a 5.8kd who I get matched against sometimes. Usually it's not so often, but 4/5 days this week I've spent 4 hours of every morning getting slapped by this guy on repeat. I don't even feel anger when I die to him anymore it's just a sigh of resignation. I'm not sure if he's cheating or just completely cracked out on adderall but there should be at least 4 tiers of cyberpsychos between me and him in the match making.
>>1949118Can't wait until they remove the gunrunner shit from the game. It was fun for a bit but there is not that much creative stuff I've done with it. Most people just take long ammo and a shotgun, and I am sick of pushing long ammo players only to be crowned in the face. In terms of good gun runner loadouts my favorite is drilling+drilling. A lot of players instinctively try to move after they hear two drilling shots: "he's reloading, this is my chance to push/move". You fire your first two drilling shots and switch to your second drilling, often you'll see a guy running in the open or repeaking you from the same angle he's been fighting from. Often even people you tag with one of your first shots will be taking risks because they think it's their time to move. It will take teams quite a while to realize you've got two, and even when they realize the instinct to react to the two drilling rounds being fired is so strong; they've been training this reaction for 1000's of hours. The cadence of a double drilling player seems to be very hard for most players to adapt to. If anyone else's got some creative gun runner loadouts, let me know.
>>1949332my gripe is the matchmaking doesn't matter because it prioritizes full matches over rank and it fucks over people like me who play either randoms or solo with decent skill but no metaslave e-sport tryharding, after 2k+ hours its so obvious the game just has hidden mechanics and calculations based on player metrics to fuck you over. also i rarely find the super obvious hackers that headshot you 150m across walls with dual scottfields but its obvious how high KD players are all using variety of ESP etc even if they aren't aimbotting, its an entire subculture with lame fucking youtube montages and everything, the reshade clan crowd. i wish they would make a new gamemode with souped up PVE, bad weather conditions/night, solo or duo only, restricted loadouts, that you could always load into even if there are no full matches to be made.
>>1949343first match after leaving this post and i get the exact problem, random matchmaking is so fucked and 4* players can be so bad, just now had another ESL turbojeet who sperged in the most comical way when he died as i frantically kept trying to get him to stop hiding and revive our teammate while surrounded by 3 teams. >piece of shit noob gay noob i report you etc etcits funny but all i really want is a good fun match, not tardwrangle 70 iq subhumans who hide their kd and play with sparks silencer incendiary. i either play solo or get this, and i dont like the hyperfocus intensity of solo. people who act like below 5 star is more fun don't understand how unfun random trios are, its like being in special ed in a 3rd world country on EU servers.
>>1949340i play drilling a lot and tried double drilling before, even without gunrunner i'd take the shorty, but it just feels like you spend half the time reloading. also gunrunner doesn't make that much of a difference, the crown shorty is so strong aswell and i see it used more than full gunrunner. anyway i like vetterli silencer or cyclone with a shotgun to play aggressively with.
>>1949343>>1950015You sound like you're burned out of the game and need a break dude. Also try find some mates on the official hunt discord to play with. I used to play there a lot until I found guys I like to play with, now I have regular mates I've been playing with for over a year. >>1950025Yeah the small crown is obnoxious shit. Sorry double drilling didn't work out for you, it's my jam. I've played some cyclone shotgun. Great if you have fire on the cyclone and you can push while they try to put themselves out. It is the normal rifle+shotgun though. I'm watching a trio and one of the guys just played cyclone+explosive crossbow, which seems like a cool combo.
>>1950200i'm not really burned out, all this started happening after i took a break, but i'll probably just play solo a lot more now. btw you should really play cyclone with FMJ, it lets you 2-tap arms up to like 77 meters which is insane, and you can very often get wallbangs with it, always play with an ammo box.
>let me see what 4chan is saying about the tarot cards>nobody is posting anything about itgrimmy
>>1955253well its gonna be a nothingburger or fuck up the whole game again and the teasers never make anything clear so.....
>>1955253there's definitely going to be at least one tarot card that is unfun bullshit
>>1955378its all going to be extremely situational and one-time use redundancy, but one will be something like a random teleport that will be cancer
by the way what is the other teaser of the fossil imprint on the ground and the skull/spine on the t-shirt? it looks like something like a predator or alien crossover.
>>1955575lolno>>1955270every time. they'll probably do some overbalanced bs this time since current event is hugest nothingburgeralso teasing next event during event is sad desperate
>>1955654>also teasing next event during event is sad desperatehard disagree, you're just a jaded fuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlurPSQjOT0i'm just kind of surprised they're doing a spider event and content when we already have a spider boss, i guess itll just be the hunter and a new event compound, tie it all to tarot cards lorewise like the last 2 events somehow.
>>1956045i would prefer they just run events back to back at this point, also that guy is forgetting this one was the longest one yet, running at 90 days i think.
>>1956301I guess it makes sense The other bosses have their own hunter skins and weps except spider

what's your favourite loadout for clash? i've been playing solo lately and i think the 1865 carbine is the perfect clash weapon even if you spent whatever.
>>1958402Romero, and 3 tool slots dedicated to traps
>>1961662running shotgun in clash is shit because 90% of the match does the same
some faggot on reddit posted a video finding a guy blasting johnny rebel on voip and mods deleted the whole post
since it very much seems like the new event will have its new compound be a new AI/boss, what kind of events do you think they'll add to it if anything new at all? besides a bounty token.
reminder; the game uses hidden mechanics based on gambling psychology to keep you chasing dopamine hits from repetitive gameplaythe reddit meme "hunt giveth, hunt taketh" is typical of reddits' lack of self awareness since they clearly feel it but are in denial of the cause>visual handicap maps when you pick a scoped weapon>horrible spawnfights when you are about to level to 50>spawns very far away from the boss as a solo, right next to the other solo(s)it goes further than this, i noticed that as people "settle in" during events 3-4 weeks in, they ramp up gold register spawns, reward legendary hunters and bloodbonds through dark tribute. the game most likely records your performance with loadouts and what you die to, then if you have a winning streak, all of a sudden you spawn right next to the guys in the match with the stuff you statistically die to, with 4 crow and horse spawns in your face. then after having frustrating gameplay, the next day you get "regular" spawns again, ive had this so many times.there is no way you have performance go wildly up and down exactly on alternating days when the game is so heavily based on time-invested gamesense and frequent playing.

>>1966591>including the Empress who claims a maternal bond they do not reciprocate.Frienzoned by some spider abominations KEK
i'm glad they're increasingly doing gameplay mechanics instead of meaningless filler trash. the scarce weapons also don't sound too overboard, i'm going to guess the centennial might be a long ammo one, the extended rival will probably just have romero+ reach and low recoil. however the AOE damage tarot card sounds cancer. >The Tower: Unleashes massive damage to monsters and Targets in a large radius, but sets the user on fire.i imagine a team throwing some dynamites or frags, then activating one and nuking a team effortlessly, or using it in bounty clash in general.. hopefully they simply don't store after a match or something.
>>1966694actually, Target probably means boss targets, my bad.
>>1966591I wonder what "Allows you to spectate the nearest enemy Hunter." means exactly, feels like they would use a different phrase if it's just a dark vision boost thing. Seeing through enemy hunter's eyes, perhaps?
>>1966879i assume it means that, thats how you used to see bosses so maybe they brought it back like that, seems pretty extensive for a throwaway mechanic though.
>>1966591>two new scarce weaponsmite b cool
the spider compound looks amazing for trapping btw
Finally got the achievementThere were 2 Sledgehammer in that compound so there was lots of throwing beforehand
>>1967052Me likey
>>1966879testing for spectate features in future
>>1967797yeah they seem to be constantly testing things during events, i sure hope they buff the rival after this one too, thing fucking sucks.
>>1967831true. it should suck though. when it doesn't i am mad >:l
>>1967839why? its the worst shotgun by far, i would take a romero handcannon over it these days, or a romero hatchet the best gun in the game. even if it gets buffed people will keep using specter and slate and crown that shit all over it.
>>1967844i would do the samei still die to it sometimes and am mad because it sucksretard
>>1967845i cant recall the last time i died to it or even saw it, because nobody uses it because it sucks so bad

>>1968259slot*
reminder the 1865 carbine outperforms literally everything within compounds (except for maybe dolchp) at 70 hunt dollars, and streamers have made multiple videos smearing it so people don't use it against them. weapons smeared as memes/shit>bomblance (can use bolt thrower now, improved projectiles, very common free traits now with the bears around)>dual conversions (very accurate up to 20m, wipes trios easily, part of the "counter shotguns" niche like the carbine, wallbang spam)>1865 carbine (140 damage with winfield firerate, very fast reload, high capacity, very clean ironsights, 2 taps arms and legs from like 50m) >bornheim silencer (really spammable and accurate, very fast reload, the silencer actually lets you get away with some extra shots) >rival or terminus levering with dragonbreath (rival DB is better than buckshot 2tap-wise, terminus is the same but has the burning aswell, burns downed hunters to 25health if they get revived at all, extremely good in boss compounds)>sparks pistol (basically the only pocket sniper now, reload speed has been buffed multiple times, does 149 dmg, high drop-range)
>>1968336sorry, 1865 carbine does 145 damage, not 140.
the ''non-event'' season feels more like an event at this pointfucking milking it crytek
>>1968347vanilla hunt feels empty and bleeds players like hell, i prefer having event compounds and spending pledgemarks on cash and traits
>>1968351Yeah, I'm excited for the patch and new event but at the same time simpler Hunt feels refreshing
>>1968355i got sick of events when they had the alarming totems and they were still around while everyone had completed the battlepass, but now i'm just liking the seasonal aspect of hunt, things are less intrusive the past few events. the previous event was basically just a battlepass with a bounty cache aswell.
>>1968359except for the time they gave the 1865 carbine challenge and every match was spamming it at you, that must have been the worst 2 weeks i played hunt.
>>1968257>implying my "cannon" cares about cyteks canon.
Anyone else find the aperture sight on the 1865 useless? Seems to me they set the range too low.Got a shitty view even amongst other aperture guns.
>>1968513i never use aperture sights because they're weird/shitty but its a 60m< gun anyway, its seriously good close range. also the silencer variant is pretty useless since the vetterli silencer exists, which is also really great these days since the fire rate buffs.
>>1968536I guess I just don't get the logic behind it. The 1865 is a beast at close range, but aperture sights are more sharp-shootery but setting the range so low doesn't give you the benefit of making head clicking at range easier only the negetive of a shitier sight profile.The other aperture guns have more headroom in the circle making them better at range.I just don't get Crytek sometimes...
>>1968691just wacky variant fillersame reason the lemat carbine has a marksman variant and centennial a sniper variant
>>1968715The thing is I actually enjoy the "filler" weapons for instance I like the obrez match, but goddamn does crytek implement shit in the worst ways sometimes.
>>1968715what's wrong with centennial sniper?
>>1967959>no effective weapon outside of 10myeah no youre right nothing wrong with it, bet you play traps too, nigger
>>1968336muzzle velocity is abysmal though, especially with fmj; its too inconsistent at moving targets you have to go for hard reads every time.
>>19689193 tool slots were dedicated to traps, thank you very much
>>1968935you don't need FMJ on it, wallpen nerfs has ruined it all anyway. velocity is good enough for its intended range.
>>1968941kys yourself>>1968942qrd me on the wallpen changes i've been in and out since nu engine
>>1968814>obrez match>variant filleri don't think you know what that means>>1968957>qrd me on the wallpen changesthey made it essentially non existent, long ammo was doing like 20dmgthen they unnerfed it and nobody has done an analysis but it still seems pretty shit
>>1969024>obrez match>variant filler>i don't think you know what that meansYou're saying that as if when that weapon was announced there weren't countless "whats the point of this weapon" posts.
>>1969065it was the first medium slot long ammo weapon and only idiots asked that question
>>1969070The obrez match is the carbine mosin its full size.
>>1969073oh yeah i'm dumbwell it's cheap access to long ammo with mild trade off
>>1969086shitter you probably haven't even read 1000 lore entries on cryteks website
how come EU server low 4 stars are basically like US servers' high 6 stars?
>>1968957Vigilant costs 1 (one) perk point, you scrub

>>1969616u mad? u mad
Friendly reminder that the Obrez Drum gets 25 total rounds, the highest of any long ammo gun, and it's only downside compared to full length rifles is more recoil + slightly more sway.
there is no reason not to trap as a solo thoughbeit
>>1969895i love the medium slot loadouts but i notice i just can't hit shit with the high sway compared to fullsized guns.
>>1969619>sucks cock>be told its gay to suck cock>bro u just maduh huh
>>1970497>cock analogy
as soon as the new event starts, i'll be solo camping the spider nest with shotgun, 3 trap slots and frontiersman, perhaps some dark satchels aswell. don't take it personal.i hope it has a lot of grass on the outside.
>>1970729update: i just watched trailer again and i've seen the compound is quite big with multiple entries, and there are patches of grass outside. i will definitely be putting shit inside especially.hopefully they still have catalyst upgrade frontiersman so we can carry 5 killtraps with 8 alert trips or 5 beartraps minus toolboxes.
>>1970729I look like this and play like this
>>1970885play a really dark hunter too.
this shit will look stupid as a hunter honestlyi hate the theme gimmick shit in character design.
it looks like it might have multiple floors you can enter from the side aswell.

>devstream 20 minutes late>spends another 10 not getting it to broadcastcan these retards do anything right
a lot of world changes so far, kind of minor/meaningless trait changes, spider nest and enemies look good, battlepass rewards not so much.
single use consumables
pretty powerful
hanged man spectation
homestead dragon's breath does 149 damage, meaning if you get a kill with it you kind of guarantee a redskull.
new mechanics wise this is probably the best update this year, only the skins suck, theres a cyclone with a big red spiderman logo right on the ADS.
My fat ginger Canadian friend is arachnophobic and can't play the new update :( Crytek pls fix
>>1975195First of all, he needs to excercise and eat less. Then get some hair dye. Then migrate. Then he can work on the arachnophobia. All of these things are easily fixable. If he's a manlet as well then RIP, can't change that.
what do you guys think about the center extract point? it looks like cancer, the chariot card is meant to counter it but both seem like cancer in general and disrupt and mess up the flow of matches.
>>1975251It's gonna make the matches more unpredictable, and therefore less boring. The fact that it costs an health chunk is a good balance mechanism because it means you gotta have a plan if you want to use it.
>>1975251I used to think Crytek made a mistake making the extracts less random. I changed my mind when sweaty sniper campers became more common. I suggested a central extract as an idea years ago but as an air balloon that would require some preparation. The fact that it's another stagecoach is lazy and nonsensical. Just model a balloon from the murder circus, embiggen it and add a basket. I think it'll shake up gameplay but they need to make solo bounties more common not less. Trios doesn't have enough teams to make double bounty interesting. It attracts rats, casuals and sweats for that reason. Duos is far more fun but goobers are too dumb to deal with the chaos.
>>1974667fucking finally. been waiting forever for this
i think they're bringing xp tokens back to spawning in regular towers again, and theres a lootable hunter in the nest, i wonder if the spiders give XP on kill especially since they respawn in the nest. either way if one of you is a shitty broke player you can prestige very very fast this event and/or make a lot of cash taking everything, running vulture and packmule just on the lootable hunter will give you extra cash and get you lucky sometimes. they're kind of going all-out on the rewards and free shit this time.
>>1975863Why?
>>1975474i'm not sure but i think the central extract is "locked" by default and requires the chariot card to open it or something? but another card can reverse it? either way i think it will be weird because teams meeting in the center will be aware of eachother immediately due to the horns of the extract, and the sealed bounties are often close to the center which will lead to solos easily just running through the map and vanishing. also solos are eating good in general this event if they stack up card, using empress cards and fool cards you can regain necro multiple times.
>>1975880i know this general thinks randos are just drooling niggers most of the time but i usually just play with one other friend and we often want to play trios without being at a disadvantage. it's also such a no brainer option for players queueing up to have.
>>1975887>i know this general thinks randos are just drooling niggersthey are, you're probably better off just playing duo honestly
At this point I'm more excited for the rebalances/fixes than for the event itself, tarot cards seem like they could become annoying to play around fast.
>>1976198they're all very clutch-based so far, except for maybe the devil's card which is a straight buff at the cost of losing it on down, and the health could be regained with recovery shots. however i never really felt like crackshot was that powerful, hardly anyone seemed to use it with intent. also the tarots are a permanent mechanic if you weren't aware.
I want to try hunt again but I find the game doesn't really have much to do in it, the skins honestly suck, and the crosshair placement being lowered makes me nauseous and gives me a wicked headache
>>1976776you can change the crosshair to centered
>>1976781Have they added anything else to make it feel like it has stuff to do in it?
>>1976792subjective question, theres a new event coming in the next day or two, not a bad time to give it a go again. what region do you play in?
>>1976800U.S
>>1976827I'm from oce, I'd be happy to play USW with you in the /vm/ discord https://discord.gg/VDeSVF6B
>>1976382>i never really felt like crackshot was that powerful, hardly anyone seemed to use it with intent.it was very good with some guns, imo, I deliberately avoided picking it up most of the time in orded to avoid picking up bad habits and due to my general dislike of using crutches.>also the tarots are a permanent mechanic if you weren't aware.I believe you are mistaken, it's an event-specific thing that will probably be brought back during some of the future events>I find the game doesn't really have much to do in itYou find people, you shoot people, you have fun. What more do you want?
WHERES MOMMY?!!
frag and explo arrows/bolts are scarce now apparently.>>1977031DLC, probably paired with the other one
idk what they did exactly but they made bounty tokens worth the same across the board, so you kind of get the same amount whether you play trios or solo, now everybody is going to swim even more in cash. i think i just made 10k in 3 games without vulture or really winning big.
i dont get the point of this bullshit where they don't put certain changes in the patch notes.
>>1977223What changes are you talking about? The token thing might be a bug, if it even is actually a thing.
>>1977238frag and explosive arrows becoming scarce, pistol swap/ADS animation, whether tarot cards are permanent or not (i'm pretty sure they are), the scarce weapons and sealed cache staying after the event (closed beta streamers have said this)
>>1977243scarce ammo thing is to prevent people fron hoarding them
>>1977258they are already scarce now, they didn't put it into the patch notes, not talking about ahead of time.
>>1977243>pistol swap/ADS animationcould you elaborate? Does it concern some type of exploit or something?
>>1977297smoother animations
The new scarce weapons don't seem that good. There are normal weapons better than both of them. If anything, weapons like Avto, Dolch, and Nitro should be made scarce instead.
>>1977492avto and nitro are junk, agree with dolch
i'm sure its because i just had some insane and successful matches with friends being all cheerful too but i'm having a lot of fun, its nice its playable day one too. the spider nest is pretty cool and the center extract aswell, i like the cards too, devil's card is perfect for my playstyle. hate the skins but don't really care about it at this point. i think theres a bounty bonus if you play randoms, but it disappears when you play with friends, so friendless losers are compensated. there are cocooned corpses at towers and stuff sometimes btwim disappointed there are still no T1/T2 hunters
>>1977492I haven't gottem my hands on it yet (I found the homestead 3 times in a row), but the wildland seems to be an S tier weapon. Accurate levering, fast reload, fastest base velocity, 126 damage, and with dum dum it becomes really stupid.>>1977536Same opinion as you, the event is really good but the battlepass is ass.
The Devil + Nitro in action
>>1977766the inconsistent oneshots are still annoyingi played devil card with drilling earlier and the spread is even smaller with less recoil, no one tap but dumdum is a near kill close range anyway. also just fanning is really fun to use. levering i haven't played yet, i only got the card once so far.
I just played solo trapper for the first time and I hadn't had this much fun in a long while. I put 10 kill traps + 12 alert trip mines around the compound, camped inside with shadow and watched the bounty trio that came there to get the sealed bounty die over and over to my traps and to the bileweavers.
>>1978155i run vigilant on every hunter and haven't seen anyone trap it yet, even though its obviously well-suited for traps even just the entrances.
unironically what is the first battlepass hunter even supposed to be? looks like some native american trailer park aunt
I swear if I see the screen one more time I'm going to fucking kill myself
>>1978256Dunno but I like how normal the design is. More cowboys and less eccentric madmen edgelords plz.
>>1978586You can press ESC now
>>1978256Older rugged native american woman who has seen all sorts of shit. It would look a lot cooler if it was a dude instead.
>>1978606if they're gonna put women in a game like this i prefer them to be magical zombies, killer anime girls and witchy goth babes. if its like this i feel like the design was intended to give the idea your average aunt is badass for being a womyn
>rando plays ghostface>get an urge to teamkill
>>1979459>randos
i thought it would be stupid but the chariot card has been really meaningful imo, ive only seen it speed up the things that should be sped up, and stop the gay ass running away that some people do. i also once spectated the last team besides the bounty one, waiting for them with a chariot card in hand in an ambush at a nearby compound. convenient fast extracts to the center point after wiping a match instead of having to slog all the way to the end of the map. the other cards aren't visibly noticable, also haven't seen an uptick in levering/spammy stuff with devil's card, most seem to not take it when available.

with hv reducing damage, can anyone think of any reason to pick a vetterli over a centennial?
>>1980788vetterli iron eye is very fast now, also vetterli silencer and cyclone are pretty much their own weapon, the former is really good for its price if you're not a 6*.
this one german cuck mod (Diiba) in the hunt discord literally only argues with everyone and weirdly humblebrags about himself or passive agressively defends disliked crytek decisions when i see him onhow do they even get these people? do they do it for free?
>>1980876>expecting anything other than faggotry in official game discordsbut pls post screenshots so that I may laugh, I am banned from the discord for antisemetism
>>1980880it doesn't really look bad unless you have the prior context of only ever seeing him engage in this type of attitude, pointless arguments from a fake pretended expertise in defense of crytek's bs. earlier he was arguing about the creation of whether gun skins are modeled "by hand" or not and trying to flex his 3d modelling knowledge on some guy who was complaining about crytek selling the same skin slapped on 10 different weapons and selling them for 7-10 dollars each. he doesn't grasp the concept of differing opinions/perspective in general, when it comes to game balance he always seems to think 100% of the playerbase is a 6 star 3kd player. either autism or narcissism. i dont expect anything from discord and never use it but its just a notably weird guy.
I am once again getting random teammate fatigue, which is the sign that I ought to put down the game for a bit, or start playing solo only. Just all around bad decision making, nonexistent situational awareness and absolute stupidity. This might long but I need to vent a bit.First game, I have two insane back to back fights with two different teams, I manage to singlehandedly wipe the first team on my own, I start fighting the second team, get one of them with a satchel trap and redown him later. They finally get me after what must have been like 10 minutes of back and forth and my teammates are sitting crouched, not firing a single shot the E N T I R E F U C K I N G T I M E. This is high six stars mind you, the bracket where you find people with 3.0 kd running avtomat and nitro.Second game, we get the clue at graystone pit, I hear a horse getting spooked at miners folly and I tell my randoms, "guys I heard a horse at miners, there's probably a team coming this way, spiders nest is right here so they're probably coming here, we can ambush them".And what does my retard do? Why he punishes the other team for triggering a sound clue of course... nope, he just runs inside the nest, uses the tower, puts every AI on fire just to make sure the other team knows where we are with a 100% accuracy, runs outside the nest, gets ambushed and dies. Again this is high six stars, la creme de la creme of hunt.Third game, nothing TOO retarded this time just classic russian behaviour, we find the boss at the first compound, kill, banish and I put down some traps, other team comes, our retarded russian teammate activates his vodkanigger superpowers and decides that he HAS to fight outside the compound for some reason, instead of coming back inside he says to go help him, me and the other guy know that that is a terrible idea but we go there anyway and die because we're running into their crosshairs instead of them running into ours. The end.
>>1980901randoms are retarded just join the disc in thread
>>1980901i have close 2k hours just playing random trios so i know all about it, even if you look for teammates with relatively good kd and experience. they just have no gamesense at all and don't know how to play. playing randoms most of the time is more stressful than playing solo due to how annoyed you get at randoms, they're like dogs that don't listen and they actually get you killed with their stupidity unlike in other games where thats usually an excuse. >>1980911is that a /vg/ style circlejerk club with established cliques and ERPers? i take it this thread used to be on /vg/ before a discord killed it and put it on this board.
>>1980922>established cliques and ERPersnegative, just a bunch of dudes playing vidya

I thought they patched using donkeys to fight 3 stars?
>>1980959it just happens that none of your "/vm/ players" play hunt despite having 50 people online, and there are just posts from months ago about doing things in real life
>>1980994I'm not him but what are you expecting from the thread and people here?
>>1980998people who play hunt
>>1980999Well I play Hunt hi. Sorry the thread will always be semi dead because 4chan community that plays this and posts here is low.

>>1979900>15 seconds after spawning>hear sound to know I've been spectated>as the sound ends I start getting shotA couple times now I've been hang manned right off spawn, so some people are using it that way.I've been using double pax w/fmj + single pax+fmj. If you get a devil card the duel pax turns into a spam laser. Garden is nice if you can remember to use it. It's a full heal and faster proc than a vit shot. Learn to use it on yourself before trying to use it for team mates. With the tower you can run around the web to spawn in all the mobs then burn the card to clear most of it instantly. A great use for the magician is when you have a downed team mate against a team with dark sight. You can run up to your team mate and pop the magician on his body. When the enemy team scans they will assume you've ressed already and give you more space to actually res. >>1980901>high six starts>la creme de la cremegot a hearty chuckle out of that one.It sounds like you need to find some good team mates to play with.>>1980922A lot of people are good at hunt, but bad at playing with team mates. >>1981041terminally online communities are like this in general.
>>1981829my bad when I mention the pax I am talking about the pax trueshot, which is a two hit kill.
>>1981991they are already lasers normally so it feels redundant, i'll try levering next which i play alot aswell. i also tried hipfiring drilling (play that a lot too) with devil's card but only managed to try it once, i think its better to take advantage of it with something very spammable and high firerate. however my game is very fucked with extreme fps drops due to some weird issue and i don't know how to downgrade bios, can't find anything on the internet either.
got a kill just now with the movable red barrels, trapped an alert mine. just happened to spawn in a place i was trapping. pretty cool.

Keep seeing the same Russian cheatoid in lobbies over and over the game pop must be pretty low
levering with devil's card is amazing, with the wildland too despite the recoil, however the card seems to be the rarest one, i see more nitros being used but rarely hit anyone.
>find The World card >use it>Immediatly after the boss is banishedgoddamn it
>>1985208one of the more useless ones im afraid, i only like the empress, devil, chariot is situational and sometimes useless. most i wouldn't take at all, some are good when you happen to find them. some are so situational its better to leave them (magician)
>is never seen or heard from again>dooms you to only see black trannies and furryqueers in the bayou with their disappearance
>>1985672What really puzzles me is that it seems that people who had those hunters in active roster are still able to play them (or at least some of them) but if the particular hunter is lost there's no way to rebuy them.
>>1985672>>1985880y'all retarded
>>1985922thats not even half of them
The garden is just a square vitality shot
>>1985961yeah its redundant, i think the point of it is you're running a regen shot already, maybe have vigor aswell, then pop it before agressively pushing so you can heal super fast if you happen to get hit once, might be partly why they got rid of the witness healing effect too because stacking all of those might be a bit much.
>>1985991actually im not sure if you're talking about the one that just regens or the full heal sorry. both are kind of redundant.
>>1982017your hard drive or SSD is failing.
>>1986099no it isn't, i got it on a brand new PC and its a known issue, some weird issue that is solved by downgrading the BIOS but i have no idea how to do that. its in the troubleshooting forum on the discord. no issues with anything else.
>>1986103oh, damn rip.
>>1985953no, it's not. i demonstrated there's list of tier 1s that you can unlock t2 and t3 forso if you unlock them all there's like 40idiot
>>1986107they're all different and theres a whole bunch that aren't available, there were more than 40, maybe they are simply replacing them with these new ones but that is pathetic since there are way less now and some of the older t2s looked way better.
>>1986107
>>1986108you're schitzo
>>1986115clearly you started playing the game less than a year ago
>>1986115give them back david.
you just know that fat fuck fifield emails the art director to create more black troon legendaries while spawning in the cool old hunters in the game for himself with his admin powers
>>1986114literally all of these can be unlocked through the tracks i posted
>>1986153no they can't nigger, stop being blind. https://huntshowdown.fandom.com/wiki/Hunters
>>1986162pick one
>>1986168but you're just gonna be disingenuous anyway and say they are XYZ named tiered/prestige hunter in the game even though they wear different outfits and look completely different and by that logic like 75% of all legendary hunters are the same hunters because they use the same base model/faces. crytek probably does consider them to be in the game this way, which is ridiculous because they actually looked way better and there are much less of them now.
>>1986177ok so you're putting forth a false arguement and won't give an examplecope and rope faggot
>>1986180retard loltheres already examples posted in the threadnone of the hunters with bandanas and ponchos are in the game, theres also the black ones with facepaint, various other coloured coats, the prestige 80 styled one with a hood and skull, there are like 20+ that are not possible to get anymore.
>>1986180i'm not gonna give (you) fucking 30 of these faggot.
>retard crytek shill says that we weren't robbed of hunters>can't back up his argument and disappearsI'll take your concession, faggot
>>1986183alright i can't find that one
>>1986199now look at the wiki page and look at the 20 something more.
>>1986202there's literally like 200 skins including 40+ of the old tier1-3sjust can't imagine caring
>>1986214sorry can't hear you over being a gay gnome, niggertroon
>>1986214why would you want less? these skins are also way less gay.

>>1987854typically if its close you'll be there first and bosses are all killable within a minute or so, its a throwaway card imo

Regen shot, judgement, fool, judgement again. 30min of regen. Add a stamina shot for 30min of stamina or the sun for double regen making you unkillable.Last night my squad and I were just rushing the lair, tower card, concertina all entrances and just chill in the lair. Grab the free token and immediately the entire server shows up and dies trying to figure out how to get in. Free loot able corpse, full ammo restock, the new lair is very, very defendable. What’s stopping me from doing this every game?
>>1988735what if a team dynamites the concertina and goes in with shotguns while you're dealing with respawning spiders?
>>1988771Tower card kills all the spiders so it’s a non factor. Spiders don’t respawn if you don’t leave. The bow with double c wire and 3 C bombs is enough to stop a team for a long time. Especially with ammo refil. No one has gotten in the lair in my last 10 game. I’m doing it solo but 3 people would be impossible to breach without a ton of dynamite which people don’t bring with cards and shots now days. I also bring kill traps and scatter them in the bushes, ideally somewhere that can be seen from a window to cover the body
>>1988735are you playing 2* lobbies or something?it's a fucking deathtrap
The spider lair is unqiuly suited for this. The circus and hideout were too open but the lair is a fortress
>>1988876cancertina just works universally honestly
>>1988926Yes the best part is if you do leave the lair, and another team comes in, your wire will steal all the kills and get you free points
>>1988927i like to play the game instead of waiting though
>>1988937This is why no one will remember your name. I rather deny everyone of the cool new update while I farm kills and cards
>>1989033concertina spam has always been a common thing, the real glory lies with being number 1 drilling player EU
>>1987871i can spawn opposite corner of the map with tower and be at your door at 41mmeanwhile you're realizing you went to the wrong compoundget rekt chud>assuming i don't get distracted
>>1989099ive been using and seen the world card used more than any other and it basically never helped anything, rushing there when its far just gets you sandwiched or run into other teams anyways, most of the time it gets banished within the first minutes, its pointless kek, getting to the boss first is purely a matter of spawn and not that important unless you are a cancertina spammer.
>>1989108locking down the boss lair is the most important thing in the world I agree with this guy>>1989099Only cucks sit outside with their dinky little snipers and wait for hours while plinking the lair.
>>1988735>What’s stopping me from doing this every game?the feeling of boredom from doing the same thing over and over again?
>>1989119it depends on what kind of player you are, if you consider getting the bounty a win, and run away with it like a pussy then getting there first matters most obviously, but in higher ranks people don't care about bounty as much as wiping the map with kills, and teams move very fast to the lair. then there is always a multi-team fight at the lair very fast, it doesn't really happen that 1 team shoots to the inside and one from the outside, thats 3 star crap, if other teams have been killed or are still actively fighting then agressive pushing happens and defenders hardly have an advantage anymore these days.
>>1989130It'll always be a disadvantage to be outside rather than in because you open yourself to fire from multiple teams and directions
>>1989135not every compound is a castle surrounded by open field, most of them support cover for 3+ teams.

>>1990057It's very interesting how they add badass mechanics that make the game fun then take them away to gamble next game season
why do so many furries play this
Turncoat is peak wild west bandit aesthetic and he looks so fucking cool with this lobby background and lighting. Shocked I don't see players use him much.
>>1990686>>1990057I'm torn on The World card. on one hand, it gets me to a boss quicker. on the other, if it becomes common but not ubiquitous its going to lead to a lot of games where teams only sort of run into each other until the boss lair fight.
>>1990695The guy under the hood looks a bit spastic
>>1990705If so then at least he has the decency to cover it up, unlike 9 out of 10 of the cast
>>1990695I love my wife
>>1990343That’s already there if I play the game or not
>>1990695Turncoat looks cool but Hex Breaker is peak /fa/
>>1990686they're probably staying since its been said the pledgemarks including the scarce weapons are staying after the event (as scarce), the cards have been positive so far with nothing gamebreaking, i think they'll keep them in too based on that. in the leaks server one of the chinks said they were doing something with the firestorm map or something, i think it might be possible they will put in and rotate the event compounds and conditions normally, if not it might be something that returns in another event i guess.
I just want a map select in but crytek are too proud to admit that players would just queue for everything but mamons
>>1991186it would make matchmaking times unbearable when splitting the maps, clash is already dead, soul survivor is extremely dead. but i wish they would add a restricted bounty hunt that always loaded in regardless of players, make it always have bad weather/night, solo + maybe duo only, limited cash loadouts.
>>1991173>Firestorm mapNice I miss that map and the fire healing event perk was nice with a good tradeoff I hope it comes back
>>1991192>30k players>not enough to split maps>muh meme gamemodesshut up you crytek shill nigger cunt, no one likes mamons gulch. fucking neck yourself you fucking faggot cunt
>>1991196there are like 10k players at peak times and thats split between servers and split between MMR. a more PVE/restricted gamemode is something people have been asking for for years and bring back the feeling the game gave in the beginning and also allow NEETS like me to load in at 3 am without having to switch servers. also i am the guy who posted here about how the 1896 update was going to ruin hunt with casualization through droprange, the mammon's map, the environmental ambience in the audio making it harder to detect players, the increasingly spammy guns, ETC. you called me a schizo back then when i predicted all this, get mad at yourself instead.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WeW0-5u9f2g&pp=ygUPaHVuZ2VyIGdhbWVwbGF5Y'all ready for frogtide?
>>1991206You're both right when it comes to player counts. He's right because it does in fact go up to near 30k players, but you're also right because, going by the actual peak hours, those players are likely subhuman Chinese homunculi so they may as well not exist
>>1991218i was excited for it at first but as they show more of the gameplay it looks boring as fuck and likely gear is going to play too much of a factor, the sound and combat makes me fall asleep.
>>1991206why lie?
>>1991224its fun t.played first test though the gear rarity is always a nightmare to balance, look at the clusterfuck that has been dark and darker
>>1991222>>1991225it will drop to 10k 2-3 weeks from now after everyone has most of the battlepass, the average monthly playercount hasn't increased since before the post malone update, the all-time peak included free players from that time, or the 1896 update whenever it was. if you split the maps you're gonna take ages to find a match above 3* matchmaking or basically have no matchmaking at all anymore, especially because all the sad fucks want ideal conditions all the time for their loadouts/style, not just the tryhards who may just play only one map at that point, but nobody wants to play sniper on stillwater or shotgun on mammon's for example.
>>1991227the game basically looks like dark and darker with mostly guns to me, aim doesnt look like its a factor more than conditions and gear basically.kind of looks casual.
>>1991232it hasnt hit less than 20k players since June 2021, thats more than enough you mong. and heres the catch, you can just choose to search all maps and nothings changed.
>>1991236the game dropped below 10k almost daily before the update and it will again, this game hasn't grown for atleast 2 years dude. it actually peaked in activity in like 2022-2023.
>>1991234it primarily plays weirdly like an rpg with the questing, pvp is like hunt on a larger scale, somewhat similar to dayz with the number of engagements you may or may not have. never got much into the higher tier gear and regretfully focused more on the pve and less on the pvp, next test I'll just focus on pvping and i anticipate it will be great
>>1991224It's weird it feels like Hell Let Loose and Hunt had a retard baby and Tarkov was the wet nurse
>>1991186>everything but Stillwaterfixed
>the game is ruined but I still come here to shitpostyeesh unc get a life
Hunt has a pretty steady playerbase, which is more important than high/increasing numbers. 25k players for the next 5 years is perfectly fine for me. The people I meet who complain about the game always have thousands of hours and have a stockholm syndrome relationship with the game where they can't keep themselves from playing it for more than two weeks at a time. Brother maybe if you have 8,000 hours and hate the state of the game you should do something else for a while. I just passed 3,000 hours and I'm feeling pretty gassed; gonna take a break once I hit p100.>>1991218Looks fun I will play it, looks more like dark and darker than this game though. I feel old hunt looked this dark and wish it still looked like that.
the drilling shorty dumdum. the most powerful gun in the game.
>the game isnt dead bro>sunday evening right now, can't even find a match within 10 minutes on US servers
>>1995560skill issue
>>1995560i just spent 5 hours playing back to back trio lobbies with 2 6 and one 5 star, longest que was maybe a minute>skill issue
>>1995845>5 hours for a matchhoyl shit this game is dead and buried
>>1967469Congrats my dude
>>1995846Read again dummy
>Chinese cheater says how his monitor is 4K 39 inch and that's why he gets killsLOL 'my monitor is really good!'
>>1997214>made in china
yo this world card be good af!
lol lmao even
>>1999384you'll probably think otherwise but lately i find hardly a difference between 4* players and 5-6*, i see 6* playing like they've never played a fps before. regardless of copes the game is dying and it will stay like this because of it.
>>1999400
>>1999427>game's last real player peak was 3 years ago on a nearly decade old gamedead as fuck
>the game isnt dead or dying dude fuck you get a life>what the fuck why are all these chinks and 6 stars in my 3 star US match?
>>1999384As a 3-star I welcome this, I know the game well enough at this point to understand my skill issues and there's little improvement to be made fighting against weaker opponents (if one would consider MMR to be a fair representation of skill in the first place)
>>1999841the ranks dont matter shit because there is MMR inflation due to the stagnating playerbase, occasionally a few new players will hop on to get farmed by the lower tiers but they don't keep playing the game, most people don't improve beyond a few 100 hours, what matters more is playing with a premade party, unless you happen to run into those high 6* players with 3+kd who have increasingly quit the game or gotten banned. i dont even see any differences in KD between 4 and 6 these days and i constantly check who i killed or died to after matches, more than half have kd under 1.5 and i used to see that at 3*
Just got this game, tried queing up into trios by myself and everyone keeps leaving. Do i need friends just get my bearings?
>>2000836before the match starts, or during the match?randoms might see you're a new player and then re-queue for better teammates, you can hide it in that case.
>>2000918i mean you can hide your stats that show it.
>>2000918>>2000932Before the match, thanks ill look that up
>>2000964i can also carry you a bit but i am an autistic EU neet and don't use a mic.
>>2000836>ctrl f>/vm/ discordmake new frens, what server do you play on?
Haven't played since 2023Did they ever touch dualies?I only know how to play dualies
>>2002686I think the only recentish nerf is that dualies no longer get extra reserve ammo.
>>2002686i dont remember exact dates of nerfs and buffs but dualies are still good, though the game changed a lot.
>>2002686Dualies have been buffed in accuracy with the engine update last year, nowadays you can make them even more accurate if you use the devil card.
>>1999400most 3 stars play like fucking chickens without their headsto say a 6 star plays anywhere near a 3 star is disingenous. A single 6 star should be able to wipe a team of 3 3 stars with ease.
>>2003216i said 4 not 3, and i'm mostly talking about how shit 5-6 are these days, many of them play like the oblivious polish truckdrivers in 3-4* who literally still have their eyes on the road during the match with a bottle of vodka in their steering hand.
>>2002792Played it again, dualies are unchanged, they're still strong as hell.Although the ammo nerf means you have to bring a secondary with a large reserve to compensate.The change is welcome in my book.
Wrong picture, although I think the quality of players since then have dropped.I'm pretty sure the MMR system has changed?
>>2003748so much has changed since 2023, just take an ammo box in place of a stamina shot, take the sprinting/stamina traits, you get 10 points on every hunter now anyway.
