its just you. i get killed by every kind of gun in the game right now. Lawson has made rifles king also.

Feels like shotgun is king in quick play and rifle is God in regular, but it's probably just a coincidence.

Getting back into this, quick play is actually surprisingly fun. Also helps that somehow I ended up with eight grand in my bank, not sure if they retroactively changed something but goddamn

I've put hundreds of hours into this game but did not realize there was a setting that, by default, turns off VOIP when both you and your partner is dead. My buddy told me he had flipped that setting.

Boy was that a huge mistake. Who knew that literally everyone in the game calls you a human being and talks trash after they kill you, and best of all you hear everything on the loading screen until you're back on the main menu.

Game communities are toxic to themselves. News at 11.

Fake edit: I had some guy running arround calling me the N word because myself and another goon killed him.

He wasn't solo...
His buddy revived him...
They did not have the combined skill to sustain their own lives while also running arround screaming in voice chat...
I marked it off as someone who was very into roleplaying...

The guy I play with usually says "Good fight guys!" :shobon:

But he'll be cursing up a storm when he gets killed, baffled at why his shots weren't connecting or some other external factor.

man, the population in this game is gone so low it's subterranean. all week I've been playing (vaca!) and maybe 15% of the games have been half full. I'd guess 5% full. dozens of games either empty or with 1 or 2 solos. and this is playing during day/afternoon/evening on West.

Have they done any marketing?


My 2 main problems with the game now is it seems like nearly everyone I play against is like a 30 prestige twitch streamer, and that almost everyone only takes free tier 1 hunters now which has only further illustrated the brokeness of XP. XP for killing hunters needs to be based on a combination of that persons bloodline and hunter level, not tier. Manage to outwit aforementioned twitch streamer? 100xp because they don't bother taking tier 3s anymore.

I largely stopped playing for IRL reasons but when I do play games I haven't been playing Hunt largely because of abysmal performance issues. From minor patch to minor patch it either runs ok or is just loving awful. I don't have a lovely workstation either, and a year ago it ran great and looked at least twice as good. I could run on mostly all high settings with good FPS and no stuttering. After 4.0 they made high settings look like absolute poo poo and also managed to drop the FPS even on low settings.

Oh and I started playing Kenshi too.

I've wondered for a while ytf the Caldwell isnt medium. if you want a single action compact you have the chain pistol or the nagant. double action you have the nagant officers. the Caldwell just hasn't really had a place.

I assume you mean the Uppercut? (sorry, its a pet peeve of mine with my friends when we play and they say "i have a caldwell" and I'm like "theres 3 caldwell revolvers and 2 caldwell shotguns in this game, which loving one are you talking about")

The conversion. The uppercut makes sense as long ammo. The compact conversion is just kinda crap though. I'd rather have a nagant or officer any day.

:siren: 5.0 is up on the test server :siren:


https://steamcommunity.com/games/770720/announcements/detail/1755745676200569156

Theres a fuckton of changes but heres some highlights:

  • New enemy that sets fire to an entire area when he takes damage (and he can open doors !)
  • Quickplay will put you on either map
  • New semi-auto pistol that uses compact ammo
  • Shotguns all have tighter spread and longer range
  • Larger difference in spread and damage between shotgun barrel lengths
  • Obrez Mace variant
  • Pax Claw variant
  • Spider moves slower but won't stay in one place as long
  • Spectre fire rate increase (thank christ)
  • the healing bug is tentatively fixed
  • electric light will blind other hunters (LOL)
  • Golden (late afternoon) and foggy daytime added to Lawson
  • neutral daytime (what was on Lawson) added to Bayou


I havent played this in about 6 weeks but my friends played yesterday and said the game ran much better with like a 20% increase in framerate from the christmas update. They also said the game was pretty much dead. I hope once this update goes live they do another free weekend and get some new meat.

US West is kinda a graveyard prior to early evening. but continues getting consistent matches well past midnight.

Also, holy fuckin lol shotguns are broken as gently caress on Test. they tried to fix them in 100% the wrong way. no one wanted them to be more accurate and longer range. they just wanted them to be more consistent. everyone on Test was just running around shotgunning eachother at 20+m.
