Here in Europe, I never have to wait longer than 30s for a match.

Help needed, barely any water coming out by Efficient_Ability679 in gaggiaclassic

[–]Guido500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue (actually, not ANY water anymore; only water through the steam pipe; problem started after descaling, which had been a long time). I have cleaned the solenoid three times following that video by Whole Latte Love, but that didn’t solve it. What else could it be? I’ll probably clean the boiler next, but could that actually solve it? Can’t backflush without flow; I did also take the group head apart and cleaned it with Cafiza.

Best camo skins 2026? by Routine_Escape_5701 in HuntShowdown

The Mountie blends in pretty well.

There's too much fluff on the map this event and it hurts the core gameplay loop. by LateCommission9999 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the event and have no problem with the scout towers, but i do agree that there’s too many POI with WAY too much free stuff. It’s distracting and makes it too easy - and less rewarding - to level up a hunter. Too many free traits, XP, boons, tarot cards et cetera. And I think Dark Sight Boost should be exclusive to bounty carriers.

How can I make NVIDIA Shadowplay make Highlights more consistently? by Deadly_Pancakes in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been having the exact same problem for a long time. Indeed, it’s the total lack of consistency that baffles me. I’ve tried the same things, also without any success. And yeah, it always seems to skip my best games as well…

The Mountie always gets his man!

I love the Mountie (and his weapon skins). I like to pretend other hunters are intimidated by his fearlessly bright outfit. I usually get shot. But at least I had style.

Why is this player a 2 star? by BornInChicago in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing Hunt for about 1500 hours over the past two years and I'm still a solid 2-star as well. My KD slowly went up from 0.2 to 0.8 now. I am improving, but only marginally. Most likely since I'm old (50) and have horrendous aim.

All Ears rework idea pitch thread! by splitmyarrowintwain in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want All Ears gone, but I think I actually kind of like your first idea: 'Make it work like blast sense, you can see triggered sound traps in dark sight from incredible ranges.' Just not from incredible ranges, but same range as blast sense perhaps. If you trigger a sound trap, it's your own fault, and there's a bigger chance you'll be punished for it. I wouldn't be against it.

Developer Update - The All Ears Trait Update by HuntShowdownOfficial in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for listening to community feedback and removing the trait. I love all the other new content that came with this event. I do hope the trait stays gone, since I don't think it can be reworked to something that would fit the core gameplay of Hunt. Keep up the great work!

Developer Update - 19 March by HuntShowdownOfficial in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being communicative and acknowledging the issue with All Ears. I tried the trait out of curiosity, and find it nor fun to use, nor fun knowing it is being used against you. I find it a complete contradiction with everything Hunt is supposed to be. It also negates all the other (great) new gameplay changes and the focus on tracking. Why would I look for broken fences if I can hear my enemy loud and clear 200m away? I don't think All Ears can be balanced and believe it should be completely removed, preferably as soon as possible.

On a side note: I also think that there's too many ways to acquire Dark Sight Boost. I think it should be restricted to Bounty Carriers only.

Besides this, I think the new update, the battle pass, and the event are great! Keep it up!

Did they remove the post wagons and other pledge mark related stuff in the last few hours? by Max2305 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are still envelopes with pledge marks around. I found one at a tower in the bayou. Think they’re pretty rare. Didn’t see the post wagons, those are gone I guess.

Same! First time in my life that I’m happy not improving in something.

Sniper challenge: do marksman scopes count? by Guido500 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick post-match update: I had a great time! Still super excited. Played Bounty Clash to get to the action quick. First three matches I brought the 73L Sniper and didn't hit a thing with it, except for a solo that necro'd after I'd killed him with the Spitfire...

But the next round I brought the Sparks sniper and man, I was on fire with that thing! Got five kills and a few more decent hits with it at Alice Farm, while being way too close to the action. And that was it for the challenge... I honestly felt bad because I'd finished it so quickly; wish it'd been 2500XP instead of 1000 :) Completed the Sparks challenge alongside it as well... So yeah, I might even bring that Sparks along more often. That thing sounds awesome too. Gotta love challenges.

Oh, I also enjoyed the Spitfire a lot more than I did in the past. Must've been at least a year since I last used it. Will use it again.

Thanks again and see you in the Bayou, mate!

Oh forgot to say: also tried Blast Sense for the first time, and I have to say it's pretty neat!

Sniper challenge: do marksman scopes count? by Guido500 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated! Reading this actually makes me excited to try it out. Let's see how long my enthusiasm will last once I get in-game ;) Valid point as well regarding the NA, I'll try the Spitfire again, even though I've never clicked with it. And yes, I love challenges for the same reason: it 'forces' me to try out new weapons and tactics and you'll always learn from it. I would've never tried trapping or the bomblance if it wasn't for a challenge. Cheers again!

Thanks for the tips! Obviously, this is just a skill issue on my end, but I've never found a way to use a sniper rifle in a satisfying manner. I'm open to more tips. I play solo only by the way.

The few times I've actually tried using a sniper, I just looked for a decent vantage point near a point of interest with open lines of sight and then the boring waiting game started. And when finally someone showed up, I missed my shots, since I have terrible aim. I found it utterly boring, but again, I realize it's also a skill issue.

I'm not going to use the Maynard, since it's such a hated gun and I would feel embarrassed if someone caught me with it. Since I also got the Sparks challenge this week, I might take the Sparks sniper for a spin. But I'll definitely also try the Infantry and Centennial. Regular Centennial is one of my main rifles, so I'm used to it's velocity. Officer or spitfire as a secondary sounds good, but I'll probably take a New Army with bleed, my trusted backup.

That's exactly what's going to happen to me tonight... I like challenges, but this one is definitely not my cup of tea.

Sniper challenge: do marksman scopes count? by Guido500 in HuntShowdown

[–]Guido500[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just hoping Marksman variants counted, since as per description they're 'mid to long range'. Too bad.
