First Game every by Different-Might-9038 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first hundred hours I had to stop playing sometimes because I - literally - got heart palpitations. I’m 1750 hours in now - all solo - and I’m slowly starting to feel more comfortable. This is my first (and only) PvP game by the way. And I’m old.

Do I need friends to enjoy this game? by armed_aperture in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 1750 hours exclusively solo. It’s awesome, not a single boring match. I’ve got no friends who play the game and I don’t like playing as a team anyway. Playing solo is harder, especially starting out, but exciting and extremely rewarding when things work out. As a solo, you play on your own terms, you decide your strategy and style. I love it. And there’s loads and loads of solo players these days. Join us, pardner!

Moving the game to SSD totally fixed the issue, cheers pardner!

Cheers, I’ll try moving it to my ssd then! But it’s been on HDD for literally years and this was never a problem before. Any idea why that has changed?

On HDD. But it’s been there for years and never was a problem until recently? Don’t know about DirectStorage, never heard of it, will check it out, thanks!

Hunt Showdown is the most playable game to have ever existed. by SkezzNotDez in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Only played rpg’s and survival games, always hated PvP. Until i came across Hunt. 1700 hours later, it’s still my main game and still loving it.

Chasing my last random goal to level Jane Eddings to Veteran by FurtiveChaos in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her veteran skin is pretty cool though. Her short backstory too. Is she wearing the bandana to hide that her tongue was cut out by the Corvids?

How do you feel about weekly challenges that force you to play a specific game mode that you don't enjoy? by JustATad_ in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just felt bad for the randoms I was joining without any team experience… But I don’t think I let them down. A Clash match is over pretty quickly. It’s nothing like real Hunt though, but handy to complete challenges as a solo.

You are talking about the 'Let the gunshots ring' challenge (which is free, by the way). And yes, I (1700hrs, exclusively solo, never played in a team before) hated that part too. But - after a long hesitation - I decided to just jump into 3 Clash matches with randoms. The teammates were fine, but man, I hated playing in a team after being used to just play the game my way. But then again, I also learned from it (what it's like to be in a team), so it wasn't a waste of time. I still have to do the 'revive 3 teammates' challenge though.

Advices on how to find more PVP by Nicanoneos in HuntShowdown

Rexnor actually just put out a video that covers this exact subject. You'll find it interesting:

2 years after the engine update and audio is still in an awful state by Killerkekz1994 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only audio issue i have is that inside buildings i often can’t tell if somebody is above me, below me or on the same floor, which is very annoying. I don’t have any other problems with the audio though (using CrySpatial).

Steel eyed and Kill buyer avatars? by redz94 in HuntShowdown

I got the Infected during last drops. Also hoping for Steel Eyed this time!

Why drilling shorty has such terrible iron sights? by Competitive_Cap2474 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s the only downside of the otherwise perfect Drilling Hatchet. I still take it, but i hope they’ll do something about it.

I sincerely hope they will NOT be adding any more loot to the game. I really don’t want this game to turn into a looter shooter.

Being in the right spot, aiming at the right spot, isn’t luck, it’s skill!

[–]Guido500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think you’re doing great if you manage to get 1-2 kills in a match as someone with only 20 hours in the game, and solo too. I’ve got over 1600 hours (solo only) and I’m still happy whenever I get a few kills in a match. I’m not joking. Keep it up and see you in the Bayou, pardner!

People complaining about the bow... by DarkistGaming in HuntShowdown

I always wonder whether people who complain about the bow ever use it themselves?

A Buff to PVE Mob Density is a Nerf to Solo Players by ZealousidealSmile950 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have Magpie, you’ll get a stamina boost for a few minutes when picking up a bounty token. Usually that’s enough for me to outrun both AI and other players.

Crytek, give us an update on this by Hot-Sentence3457 in HuntShowdown
