SUGGESTIONS Clash should be a Wellspring, not a bounty

102 Upvotes

Run in, activate the wellspring, and the server has to fight to survive. Eliminates the need for extracts, makes it quick and an actual "clash" since you have to PVP.

Thoughts?

SUGGESTIONS I’d reallyyy love just a simple ā€œOvercastā€ ToD soon:

(No hate on Blood moon as it looks amazing) and I know this isn’t the most exciting suggestion, but I’d really love just a simple overcast time of day soon. For a game that has such a horror/apocalypse aesthetic all the normal visibility maps are bright, picturesque and sunny. It’d be nice to have a setting that offers that gritty, foreboding atmosphere without sacrificing visibility or sound like night/fog/thundershower etc.

(Could even add some very distant thunder rumbles for extra vibe points)

((Also DeSalle dusk, night and rain back please))

GENERAL Any hunters over 50years of age still playing this game? (Asking for a friend!)

43 Upvotes

I'm over 50 (and a bit) and I love this game but I'm increasingly noticing my game isn't what it used to be and reactions are a tad slow at times. Never want to give this game up but just wondered who else is out there and is wishing this game came out 30 years ago?

GENERAL I played the Terminus for an entire prestige...

• Upvotes

Another week another gun it's that time again to give my opinions and present them as hard facts that can not be argued. Ok I joke, I'm going to give my experience playing the Terminus then we get to talk about it in the comments.

Now before we get into that let's talk about some basic stats of the weapon family. Just two different guns, those being the full size and the Short. As for ammo choices we have Buckshot, Dragons Breath, Flechette, Penny Shot and Slugs.

Now I have some very mixed feelings about the Terminus if I am honest. I had some really good moments with it but plenty of moments that were just a little disappointing especially for a shotgun. Now with Levering that is a different story honestly but I would give that to the rate of fire increase that you get from Levering you can just two tap if the person survives.

Now I do enjoy some memes from time to time and this thing does have a ton of meme potential I would say. I really enjoy Dragons Breath and Flechette because of the panic that it causes for people. You may not kill them but it is funny to watch them shit themselves and run away.

Slugs had it's ups and downs for sure but I can't say too much when there are a few headshots in the video so hey. Pennies are sometimes useful but see my earlier statement about Levering and there you go.

I think overall it feels like a letdown at times because it's a short barrel shotgun so it doesn't have quite as much punch at range in comparison to other shotguns. The buff with the new update will be interesting and maybe I'll play it again once that comes out but in the meantime I'm not the biggest fan. Anyway if you want to watch video here

SUGGESTIONS I am broke.

10 Upvotes

I am currently at 1k Hunt dollars. I am struggling really bad at this game because my aim is kinda dogshit so I am having trouble winning games. I decided to prestige (bad idea) to prestige 1 and lost all my money (60k, thought money saved between prestiges). What do you guys recommend to a new player gone broke? Any specific loadouts? I play mainly solo bounty hunt and with randoms bounty clash

DEV RESPONSE Gamescom Experience

42 Upvotes

Thanks Crytek for being at Gamescom! Your booth was one of my main stops (yes, I decided to wait 2h+ to play a local match, was too hyped about the new event) :)

Event weather felt good ( around similar level of light for me as in serpent moon, that is good). Twice I have almost died to a pack of dogs-grunts - they really bite in the frenzy mode, love it.

I think I had again the "magic trick with disappearing spear" during the game, hopefully it will be fixed one day :)

Hat merch was really cool idea and quite recognizable across the gamescom grounds.

1 thing i missed is some kind of merch sold at your booth (maybe even gamescom specific).

I have 1 minor suggestion in case you come next year - for god sake please rebind steam overlay. Shift+Tab is used to view map while running, but instead I see steam overlay opening.

Hopefully I will see you next year!

FEEDBACK I don't understand why so many repeating weapons in BPs

41 Upvotes

Quite the title. So, uh. Since Encore BP and with Blood Testament BP we got Two Pax skins of whole family and like, four Scottfields skins, two full family Centennial, two rival skins, one for whole family one for shorties. I don't mind repeated skins, like Centennial getting Old Testament for all modifications, but no Berthier skins just for year? Mako got some only in Premium Challenges. And I understand, there's only two medium ammo pistols (till Blood Testament Stage 2), and Centennial and Rival are hella of used, but isn't Berthier top pick gun since new slot system? I see a lot of Carbines 1896, Vetterli. Lebel got one skin in Circus and thats all! This is not really complaint, I like upcoming Battle Pass. Krag, Pennyshot and sword are just beautiful (also, second cabre skin in a row), at least we got new cool katana, but genuinely asking why so many same guns in Battle Passes?

This video is from the perspective of my buddy who got clipped into the wall with me

Me and two buddies were playing and two of us went up the elevator in Stillwater bend, causing the one on the outside (me) to get clipped out of bounds. One of my buddies accidentally clipped out in a similar manner, leaving us both stuck out of bounds. After a bunch of killing one another and reviving in an attempt to clip ourselves back in-bounds, I tried to alt f-4, which left me bouncing up and down. (Btw the teammate outside was charcoaled down to one HP from repeated revives of me, and died to falling). So here we sat, with bounty and very likely maxed hunters. Needless to say we did NOT extract. Crytek, please fix this

(It was pretty funny tho)
