Crytek Actually Listened to Our Feedback | Hunt: Showdown 

Finally! I have a chance to save my KD! 😂

Why no sound??

@@tulipalll You mean no higher quality? That should be up very soon. The sound should be fine after I checked

​@RachtaZ it's fixed now somehow. I clicked on this video twice and got no sound, but your other videos were fine. Now I click on it and the sound works. 🤷‍♂️ mystery. Good work!! Glad to finally get to hear and watch it!

​@tulipalll same thing here, I think it's because it was tied to the higher quality video settings. Might try 360p next time!

Entire UI will be reworked on August 15!

Can we get this comment to 20,000 likes plz? Theu are redoing UI so fingers crossed

There will be matchmaking rework, idk if with this update on August 15 tho

@@RachtaZ i see, good to know

@@RachtaZ Would be grate. It is the most extremly annoying thing to me when got clapped and when you check they are 3 star players with 6-8M bounty and thousands of hours against your tiny percent of it...

I am afraid a little. I mean they told that dolch variants are not popular. Sure they are not, they are pretty expensive. I afraid that they cannot read their data well enough

I wanna be a civil war storm trooper with laser arrows

Even they forgot about that weapon 😭

well it had its 5 minutes of fame before the baseball bat got released and the poor hammer was outclassed :c I wish they would give the hammer and the axe some love, because both weapons deserve it

Most definitely. By the way you're welcome! Rotjaw was me 😂

yeah i don't like the way they're talking about less popular aspects of the game as if they're problems needed to be fixed, not every weapon or condition needs to be used all the time for them to exist in the game

that's pretty cool idea, it could have also an utility purpose similar to choke beetle.

i completely agree, people have started to forget what normal vanilla hunt is like, and as someone who plays the game on and off casually, coming back in and all of a sudden having to basically do research in order to catch up with whats going on is just exhausting, i just want to jump in have a few games and thats it, i dont want to have to learn what all the new mechanics do, or what the new meta or game-play "twist" is every few months just so i can stand a chance in game. like awesome i love new content for games but at this point its not the game i got into originally and as someone with not alot of free time i struggle to get back into with all the unnecessary noise and bloat that these events bring, i feel the original vision of the game has been lost in the name of chasing that fortnite type trend of constant new content/battle passes etc, to try make more money and to keep retention, and it sucks, the game had been adhd'ified

I mean it's not just a new event, they are treating it as a whole relaunch of the game.

Can you check again? I think video wasnt fully ready yet because I accidently released it when it was only 360p.

Yeah, it is fixed now

just you

i support the meteo in hunt i love this, night or rain...

I liked them i just found the consistency of them was too high. They have lowered it now so its nice.

The main issue is that if you brought a scope, it can feel pretty penalizing to be stuck in a low visibility time of day. I know we like to rag on Mosin Sniper rats, but it can also be pretty troublesome if you brought something more sporting like a Marksman Vetterli. Personally, I joined the Aperture gang because it is nice to have the flexibility if you do roll a low vis condition.

I think it's because daytime feels so rare to get. It feels like I get 1 map in a single day to play in a variation of day map, but get fog 3 matches in a row. They need to tweak the map randomization a bit or it could be that were getting too many maps. Maybe rotate weather condition options per battlepass? I'm spit balling but yea tweaks would be nice.

Low visibility weather conditions allows more players to sit, camp, but this is not so awful and pretty playable, until disgusting ash bloom & thundershower showed up. Those 2 conditions are terrible and killing the most important feature of the game - sound. Besides killing sound and visibility they are extremely buggy: during heavy rain all footsteps sounds like stepping on wet ground, during heavy fog in ash bloom - scopes are broken, when you are doing ads the little particles spawns in front of your scope, spamming ads only proving it.

Kill 1 hunter with an ammo box for 5k exp

Also enjoy Rotjaw as a bounty option when my or my team's primary weapons are rifles. We usually don't have to be at the mercy of shotguns indoors around Rotjaw

miserable to fight if you don’t have a bomb lance and gators legs. Cool idea but miserable.

@@elnick6918 Hard disagree. Any melee weapon is good enough, only thing that's a bit of a pain is not having a stamina shot effect. Even then, not a big deal.

To me it is not a win until we wiped the whole server clean and took 2 bounties. But I also have 3k hours in this game so yeah

My experience in 4 star lobbies with going to Rotjaw is usually that it blinks red, everyone who is around is crouching in the bushes and its low visibility weather. So nothing happens, nobody dares to make a move, its just not fun to engage with for me.

As a melee enthusiast, I love having rotjaw. Easy bounty people likely won't go after for when I'm broke, free restoration after having a fight right off spawn, and I actually enjoy the night and weather which rotjaw usually spawns in.

In my experience every time there is Rotjaw in a game, it's going to get picked as a bonus for the bounty team or as a consolation price for a team who gave up on the main bounty cause it got banished somewhere far or something. Nobody ever goes for her first and i mean she's also so annoying to kill without preparation and all, leaving you open for a while.

oh i don't know i just don't like the idea of getting your bars back. I feel like it promotes the high risk / high reward dynamic of the game. And also in a game which doesn't tell you any info directly it's important to have set rules that you can rely on. And when downing a player doesn't always mean that they will be missing a bar it can hurt your ability to predict and plan. And i kinda like that this game is best played slowly and strategically. Not being forced to pick your battles would just promote more of an aggressive headless chicken type of playstyle that i think this game shouldn't be about.

Oh man no more avtomats lol but yeah some cool weapons would be nice. I would also like to see some wild west classics tho. Like Remington new model army revolver, rolling block rifle and so on.

@@MrMozkoZrout of course not, I agree. I just want them to use their imagination like the Cyclone and Alamo. The concertina bomb during the reveal of the existence of this game sold it for me.

@@oscargarcia4974 hehe fun fact, Alamo and cyclone and ironside side as well are all existing modifications for these weapons, they didn't make that up. Avtomat kinda as well except the real one was a conversion of a different rifle as it wouldn't be possible to do on mosin and it's bolt. The bomblance is complete fantasy tho.

@MrMozkoZrout Huot rifle. Electricity exists, why not Taser trip wires. A harpoon gun with crossbow ammo types. Single use mortar with a huge delay. Dark sight and hellish monster exist get some weird weapons working off of voodoo magic or something.

And you should be able to call also an airstrike... Seriously man, invisible on the map AND in darksight?

Albania

@@HungryBruceU fr?

Czech republic

Oh i don't get the Cyclone lol. It's basically like officer carbine with smaller magazine but bigger oomph since its medium ammo. So if officer carabine costs like 150 why the hell is Cyclone priced like a long ammo gun or something, makes no sense. Tbh i also don't get why drilling is so expensive. Like it combines shotgun and rifle into one, sure. But it's still just medium ammo and it reloads so freaking slowly you can't even be aggressive with it. The shotgun isn't even long barrel tier. Why the hell is it as expensive as a long ammo gun. lemat carabine is way better value for a versatile gun.

Feedback from surveys being 20k strong is literally half or more of the player base during the events, which is absolutely insane engagement. This is absolutely not the vocal minority lol

Can you check again if its fixed? I think it was on youtube side

Good to go

what's great about it is that you have an INSANE range where the logo turns red in dark sight. if anyone comes close to a 100m radius you can already tell from far away that they'll come. i had some pretty insane standoffs when fighting rotjaw - and usually people can't "steal" it away because it's quite slow to fight. it could go a little quicker but i'm kinda happy with where it's at (plus it often spawns far away from the main bounty positions so you can do it in peace when you've lost a bar or two)

BOSS

as rachta mentionned It would be could cool to have some kind of traits after killing rotjaw to kill faster or easier the other bosses.

Yeah exactly. In my experiene nobody ever goes for rotjaw unless they know it's safe and take her as a second bounty or as a consolation price when the main boss is being banished far away. Nobody goes for her first tho.

Vulcanic is cool but it would have to be very unrealistic. Cause in history it was a precursor to henry rifle and later winchester rifles. So even for the time of the game it is an antique gun. It also used experimental rocket ball ammo which was extremely weak and the gun was just bad. I guess in the game it would use compact ammo and it might be interesting as a pistol that could use levering but couldn't be dualwielded possible, or maybe even that ?

Not anytime soon, but maybe in far future

Oh please no. Console players would be salty for getting demolished by players with mouse and PC playrs will be salty for dying unfairly to controller autoaim.

1. Skill issue 2. I agree 3. Bullshit, this is hunt showdown, go play warzone if you want that kind of stuff

@@tomhradil1 lol regular hunt is more like warzone than my suggestion though.... and god forbid they create more ways to enjoy their game and bring in players. idk why you got so angry at a suggestion for improvement.

Yes!

They probably will eventually. They made it way too easy when they introduced the recruitment changes and then turned it back quite a lot after. It was fine during the event but now when the cash registers aren't there the game can be pretty punishing on the money with how they raised the prices of some basic tools and even budget weapons with custom ammo aren't so budget anymore.

It may be in some cases but there are also challenges that depend on rng a lot and those feel like a punishment or challenges that maybe force you to play shotguns or even bow or melee when you were in the mood for a rifle and that can be a big pain. Variety should be bigger and reroll should be more forgiving somehow.

I'm with you there

It just sometimes feel like they don't understand or don't know how to play their own game.

Video about that next week!

Australian players would be screwed over. They usually have to switch lobbies because theirs are empty.

@@sharkygamer1409 Then they can tweak around with it and impose different limits on different regions and such. It's not an easy fix as it should also be done in a way that vpn can't get around it. They definetly need to do something tho. I encounter ping abusers in like every 3rd game on EU servers.

They will adjust scopes in August, so we'll see

how tho ? it's kinda impossible even in real life. u want to have both eyes open and one sight in front of each eye and then kinda try to aim with that or something ?

@@MrMozkoZrout I mean take turns aiming down each sight of each gun, so it operates like a single pistool when aiming down sight '

Well i mean it's even just a pain when the game forces you to play shotgun or melee or idk always pisses me off when it says long ammo too (especially when its a specific expensive weapon) cause it means i need to buy something expensive in this economy. Also the challenges that are based on luck are pain, like lantern grunts and similar, locating the boss lair or whatever.

@@MrMozkoZrout Yeah, there should be only a button to claim it, without do anything for it out of your way the slightest

@@Kaoraku yeah, no you smartass. Just saying it shouldn't feel like a chore making you play the game the way you don't want to. Maybe they could have a pool of challenges for you to pick from into some active slot or they could just let you dismiss a challenge more often somehow. Or they should come up with challenges that aren't so restrictive. Like idk, instead of deal 400 damage with a shotgun it could be something like deal 800 damage with a shotgun or long ammo. Or something like deal 600 damage with any weapon from Caldwell family.

Damn warthunder, the perfectly balaned game which values their player's time like no other.

Min maxing and using things to their full potential is just a nature of competetive games. Its not really the fault of the players for using the tools the game gives them.

This im sick and tired of getting random idiots leaving the game because we got a night/weather map they dont like. I dont like night maps as well but at least i dont run off like a little wuss, i push on and play the map until i get killed or extract. Thats how a true hunter should be, improvise, adapt and overcome your environment.

​@@williamjames7293I remember their names and TK them if I match up with them. Also ALWAYS skip the hidden/private profiles. They're hidden and private for a reason. Because if they weren't people would always add them to talk crap to them or leave a "- negative Hunt rep" comment on their profile.

if you force people to play low visibility and bad audio weathers, basically things that some people don't like you will effectively lose players. many people don't even leave because of the loadouts not "fitting" but simply because they really don't like playing that. now force them to play it anyway or give them penalties if they don't want to play then yeah you'd have many people just play a different game. as a company trying to make money you simply make better decisions

@@ebenezerscrew4560 Games can't appeal to everyone. Which is why they haven't added tanks and airplanes in counter strike lol. Hunt Showdown is supposed to be an atmospheric game where the environment and hunting other hunters through said environment is important to the style of the game and it's uniqueness. The amount of people leaving the match when it's foggy is miniscule but it's enough that it can ruin a couple of matchmaking queues. So in a sense, I guess you're technically correct that companies have to do what's best. The best course of action would be for Crytek to punish the few jerks skipping the maps and abandoning their team mates.

Just make it incredibly inconvenient and people will stop extracting on those conditions. Make it so the boss has to be banished Or you can't start a new game until the one you already started concludes Or you lose money and equipment for being a pussy hunter.

That's by design. When they make events like seasons then they'll introduce post event burnout. And spamming the events back to back with little changes didn't help them much. Seems like they are treating this as a relaunch of hunt so maybe a fresh approach.

Then also remove High Velocity.

@@ezkimus6104 High Velocity is what makes compact ammo viable against Long Ammo.. remember when there was no special ammo at all? The game was only Mosins and Uppercuts, and sometimes Sparks.

@@BrenoAmado Then just make it default ammo? It prettty much just makes every weapon it has hit scan. I have played this game since open beta and higher ELO its still just mosin+upper cuts. Lower is where there is more variaty in weapons.

Explosive bolts should never get removed. They arent over the top powerful they just open up a nice situational gameplay aspect to an already challenging weapon. Crossbow is fine as is the only thing that honestly sucks is how many freakin tiers there is to it for how little you even see it played. besides in higher gameplay a ton of the time people run bulwark negating the hell out of it

why not remove all the weapons? don't we all love the walking simulation game it is?

for a simple 2 points you can survive tons of utility from grenades and that very once in a bluemoon explosive crossbow.... it most of the time doesnt even one shot people comparing it to full auto long ammo or 1 shot nitro is wild lol.

This week video about cheaters!
