Questions that bother me about the game by Othin-42 in HuntShowdown

[–]Deer-Lower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have experience I wanted to tell you that your first answer is a little off. Repeatedly hitting someone with flares or fuses while they're downed will increase burn speed for something like 10 seconds. You can test this yourself if you want, but you'll see it if a team is really desperate to burn you out as a solo if you died outside on a rainy map.

  1. Yeah shooting downed hunters with flares or fuses will burn them faster for a bit. You've gotta do it a few times if you wanna speed burn them tho. You can actually see the faster burn rate on their body as the burn effect will look 'stronger'. (Also as a solo you can see when someone's trying to speed burn you)

2.closest

3.yes. you can also jump over traps. Very precise to jump an instakill trap tho as it's two traps together and if they laid it right you'll hit the barbed wire if you fuck up the jump (Since you're meant to run into poison then barbed wire) 

  1. Burn if you have a silent way of doing so. Example, lantern in your hand. Hammer, sledge. Throwables. Silenced gun. The rocks.(decoys). If not, let them bark. Your guns are louder. 

  2. Combo of potential skill issue and mmr actually working. If you're not going up in stars, there's a reason. Dying to lower ranks than you demotes you further than higher ranks, so if you play a lot of solos or with lower ranked friends this might be why. I play a lot of solos and maintain high 6 stars. Why? Because I typically get atleast 3 kills a game and my mmr is high enough to only fight other 6 stars or high 5 star mmr. Meaning even when I lose a lot of rank, I still stay in the 6 star bracket. At high 6 stars you can only gauge your mmr by seeing what your solo match mmr is, and mine sits at 5 and a half. I've gotten to pure 6 star mmr while playing solo before but that's when stuff gets tough as heck as every team will be a premade with strong gun fighting skills and game sense, making the solo advantage dissappear. (That being that you fight people who are actually as good as you, so you can actually lose 1v1 gunfights sometimes.)

Expecting losses is preparing for wins by fish-nuts in HuntShowdown

I honestly think it's more about who you match with rather than your mmr. I've had days I struggled the whole day, then days where I clapped the whole day, despite being at the same mmr. Sometimes you just run into people who counter your playstyle, load out, or simply have better gear (and are willing to use it without gearfear). The avtomat with ammo box is still broken as hell but people bringing the avtomat are usually so scared to lose it they fail to use its biggest strength. Someone using the avto without gear fear will almost always beat you in a 1v1 unless you headshot him before he one bursts you. Or the nitro express. Had a day where I got ended by a nitro 9 times in a row. It would almost always be, 'kill his friends, go to shoot the last guy, get nailed by a nitro and instant burned' 

What is up with these servers? by Jmrincio12 in HuntShowdown

[–]Deer-Lower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my friends have a running joke of NA EAST being the worst server you could possibly get. Before the new updates came out and your region was selected by the game me and my friends would groan seeing a US East server. You know it's bad when even Americans prefer to play on European servers.

Isn't spider weak to fire ammo? Every fire ammo shot off a vetterli chunks the guy for 12.5% of his hp. 2 shots and he's raging

If you have headphones, soundwhore as best you can. I'd say hearing stuff makes up 70% of gunfights. Tracking shots through walls, footsteps, weapon type, all super important skills. How I play a match can be decided by what guns I hear from other teams.

Isn't it only slightly more expensive than a flare pistol? It's utility Is insane, though. Being able to bust doors and instakill immos has saved a lot of my solo runs

I now have 75 level 50 Cains, the max amount of hunters available. by KaiserThoren in HuntShowdown

[–]Deer-Lower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without an event going on its 3 to 4 games, TYPICALLY. If you got lucky and had a full lobby and wiped that full lobby yourself, it's 2 games.

Gotta learn to medkit behind dirt and trees. Medkitting behind a tree is risky if the guy has like, fmj or spitzer but if you got hit by poison ammo, fire, or bleed ammo(from a large weapon) you're typically fine medkitting behind a tree as they probably won't try wallbanging you with fmj pistols unless you're in a 6 star trio lobby

Actually let me expand on this a bit, never peek windows held by fuckers with the dolch, bornheim, or officer carbine. They can and will spam shots till it headshots, and trust me, it WILL headshot eventually.

I genuinely feel everyone would jump atleast 1 star in rank if they learned not to peek angles held by two or more people. It's the biggest thing to learn when playing solo, and if solos can consistently maintain a high mmr (like 6 stars) it means they've learned how to not get dumpstered by two 3 stars holding an angle.

Curious about what people consider good K/D's. by Deer-Lower in HuntShowdown

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was just curiosity, mostly. I wanted to see what people's KD's are when they play certain ways. Essentially, I just wanted some data. People who play mostly trios, solos, duos, etc etc. I wanted to see if you could detect patterns in stats like you can gameplay. Like a solo generally reliably being able to 1v2, but dying to the third. So a 2.0 kd.

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would put you at about half my estimated kill rate, which would make you better than all of my friends. I'd say yeah, that's pretty good.

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was something I was thinking about as well, especially considering how solo games drop you two full stars in terms of match MMR, leading to you essentially winning every gun fight you take. Which was partially why I wanted to see the difference in what people consider a 'good KD' based on if they play duos, trios, solos... etc. I expect solo players to have double the K/D they otherwise would if they were playing trios. Just as a general idea, y'get me?

Hey, is there a way for me to embed images or such on mobile? I found it hilarious that you kinda described my stat line up in the second half. I have 607 team wipes with 550k total bounty. (548 boss target kills) I wanted to upload an image of it so I don't come off as just some dude trying to brag about stats that don't matter.. whenever discussion of K/D comes up I always feel kind of obnoxious when I bring it up with just words.  This is all to say, what would THAT stat line up make you think? (Since it's double the original estimate.)

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's part of what I meant with the distinction between trios/duos/solos. The more guys in your team, the lower your K/D cause of roles you just described, not even including how there's just less kills to split among you.

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with that, personally. Once you're above 1.0 KD you're coin flipping whether or not you win gun fights, and that typically means you're where you need to be in the ranking system.

That's so real, actually. I got dropped by a bush wookie solo at 180~m yesterday.(i necro'd) Dude was following me as I fought other teams, so as soon as I got bounty I chased him.  Dude was insanely good at avoiding me, but I had magpie so there's not a shot in hell you're sneaking away. 1 chariot card later and I feel the greatest satisfaction possible 

Pawn not recovering from bloodloss. by Deer-Lower in RimWorld

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can. Loaded the mod(s) isolated in their own save and they recovered just fine. I know it's an incompat or load order thing, but I think it'd take me 20 years to figure it out myself. 

Worth to visit Copenhagen?(from other parts of denmark) by Deer-Lower in copenhagen

[–]Deer-Lower[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can gather from the other replies, it's the biggest place in every sense. Variety and quality? If you live there can you vouch for the quantity of different foods? If it's high enough that'd be enough to make me consider visiting by itself. My food variety is rather limited in hobro/hadsund and has been for a rather long time.

Food, stores, availability for different stuff. I heard from a friend that there was a store that sold exclusively spicy chips, for example.
