Yeah, if Quickplay A) didnt take forever to get in a game (and another 5 minutes before you even run into anyone) and B) didnt always devolve into guy activating the wellspring and hiding in the 3rd floor tower at Prison, I'd play it more.

Something new I learned last night: Concertina bombs basically provide you a safe wall against bullets. Great for reviving teammates if you can get the wire between said teammate and the other team: https://clips.twitch.tv/WildStupidBeanKAPOW

They're also good at preventing rezzes. If you want to be a super rear end in a top hat, you light them on fire and Concertina the body. Of course, everyone runs choke bombs now anyway.

That’s how I’ve felt about it. I just started up again last week but it was a good way for me to play solo and get used to the game and get some experience without pissing someone off. I see how it could take players from the main event though.

It's also really good practice getting by with different sub optimal loadouts in very skewed circumstances. It used to be even more so when the med kit wasn't a default item - not having healing entirely swung the game around to every little bit of chip damage potentially proving lethal if it broke a chunk. Also a part of what makes bee bombs and poison so much more deadly as you have less means of recovery and negation. Treating it as a training ground for new tactics is a good way to get value out of the mode. Winning is a bonus - and you get some nice hunters out of it especially if you gathered clues (each clue gives you a free trait).

Would quickplay be the best way to get a player into the game then? A buddy of mine bought the game on sale and i was getting a little worried about getting so many free hunters killed while he gets over the learning curve.

When you're new your hunters don't perma-die so you might as well throw yourself into the meatgrinder. QP is more for fooling around (for me) and challenging yourself if you really wanna push to win and escape with toys - otherwise it's not really 'serious' and not really a good representation of the main mode - there's a huge difference between playing vs individuals and vs teams. It might be more appealing as a 'no pressure' mode, though? Just be ware that you do still level from it, and once you hit I think 20 you start losing your hunters.

If there's a single thing I could recommend, it would be to not play with randos and instead find a consistent group of people. You'll come to learn each other's styles over time and it will be more predictable. So you might want to check out that discord linked earlier, and there's the official discord server that has some LFG channels: https://discord.gg/wa3AtZTBDH

My problem with it (and I suspect the other guy who brought it up) is the rate of fire increase over the rival and romero is negligble and I'd rather have that extra 2 meters or whatever of range and just do a quick reload. (none of this applies to the bayonet or *shudder* compact variants which are just trash) Basticle fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Jan 2, 2021 |

Isn’t the spectre basically just a Romero that you can reload a bit quicker to surprise people who push on you after firing. Also, dual officer nagants seem pretty good, I managed to push onto a banish and 1 v 3 the team there with a mini crossbow headshot and nagants, before finally charging the last person down with a world axe while he was trying to reload the cut-down Springfield he had.

I don't know the numbers but the Spectre imo has one of the slowest reloads of any gun in the game  IDK, far be it from me to tell anyone what to take (other than my teammates, who I will yell at constantly) since I take stupid poo poo sometimes too.

I bought and tried the game but refunded it after 2 hours because this engine is suboptimized doodoo. I got a 1070ti and above recommended specs yet everything is blurry and smudgy out the rear end, and the texture pop in/changes are beyond terrible even at close to moderate distances. This is all with useless options such as motion blur and depth of field turned off. Shame.

Hunt is more reliant on the CPU for frames, it's very unoptimized. I'm only on a 1660 Ti but still struggle to break 110 frames on lowest settings.

Texture/object polygon count pop in is just inherently part of Cryengine unfortunately, but it is pretty smear-y on lower end cards (I used to play on a 980). I found upping the sharpening and removing film grain effect on the latest drivers in the Nvidia control panel really helped out. I still choked out my 10 year old Xeon system though. Now I run 60hz v-sync at 4k with a 3080 now with everything maxed out, and it still is kind of smeary texture when you use marksman/sniper scopes.

Runs perfectly smooth for me on a GTX 1080 & looks fine except for scope pop-in and water reflections which are super weird and distracting when watching for players, the big problem is actually the absurdly long load times

P much the above - 1080ti running 4k 60hz Load times are on the painful end, even off an M2 - but the game looks pretty drat fine. Mind, it used to look BETTER, but I'm pretty sure they pruned things out for the sake of optimization over the years, alas.

So we had a couple of absolutely bonkers games tonight. Highlight was us joking "lmao wouldn't it be great if we used serpent to steal the bounty from people through walls?", and the very next game the trio who killed the boss decided to leave the boss banished as bait, while they fought off the other two trios. We literally walked in quietly through the back, stole it through two walls and ran off while the other team was literally running in circles in the compound trying to find us, while still shooting the other team in there. Absolutely insane plays. Then we had a couple of kind of insane games where we somehow killed 7 or 8 people between us.

Drone_Fragger posted:Having great fun with this game. It's good! ADS every gun (shotguns aside) hits exactly where you aim it. It's the recoil and bobbing and handling that throws things off. Hipfire is a different story, but the reticle is actually a pretty good indication of your expected hit area. Shotguns need never be ADS as it is strictly a downgrade in FOV with no benefit, conversely - always hipfire them.

Buddy had a feeling that the nearby spawn had players. We move up, keeping an eye out, nothing. They move on, I keep going. What's this? Two AFK players that get bullets to the head, and a third trying to sneak around and hide! A bullet to the head for them too. No regrets and I would be ultra salty if it happened to me. We're not going to talk about the fact I missed one of the shots on the AFK players
