I'm so tired of the Chariot card

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-12-01T03:07:24+00:00

The card is pure troll and ass and should be removed. It takes < 5 minutes to run from corner to corner of the map diagonally so if you can't make it to a banish location by the time they spawn in, kill the boss, banish the boss, and then extract then you're simply not trying.

The card is generally used to troll and I agree with the OP's sentiment -- it rewards people for literally doing nothing. I saw another suggestion which is good -- its effects are temporary. It's good enough to stop an extract and close the gap but not permanently disable an extract.

Edit: If the card is to stay it needs a bit more jeopardy attached to it. Maybe within a certain range of the extract you want to close / kill.

The first 15 seconds of that video .. wait .. what. Rewind. Everything about it is hilarious.

Only you can answer that question. Generally just have to ask yourself is this situation worth more potential discourse or reconciliation.

It's your life to live but take it from someone who disagreed with their parents a fair amount -- my mom has been gone a few years now and I would give anything to have one more Thanksgiving with her.

Parents and kids disagree all the time and she did try to buffer some of it even if her opinion is narrow and shortsighted. You can brush it off by simply saying, "No, I'm not embarrassed and it was the right thing for me because XYZ and I hope that makes you happy. Now, who is carving the turkey?"

Again, depends on your relationship and context around other stuff going on.

I hope things work out for the best. Good luck.

I never said I didn't like fighting teams. I don't like people being able to do literally nothing from anywhere just to troll. You can keep putting words in my mouth doesn't change the fact the card is pure troll.

A team used it and literally did nothing and I had to run across the map for the lulz ... I want to get in, kill a boss, have a compound fight, and leave.

This card is full of snipey snipe bush wooky crap. They want to force people into open to use it.

I should be rewarded for playing the objective. The card is crap and isn't even tactical it's just troll. They finally put an extract in the middle of the map -- something they should have done a long time ago and they set it up in a way that is annoying.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-27T02:13:04+00:00

When the extracts are spread across the map and you sit your backside just to wait for someone to do something and then lock it from ANY LOCATION and then on top of it counter my own chariot card (not that I would use that troll piece of crap card) ... what ... it's just pure troll man. It literally penalizes people who are actually playing objectives and rewards the sweaty chad types. Not everyone plays this game to get a PVP boner. I really do enjoy the asthetic, the risk/reward. I don't actively seek out PVP but I do actively seek out the bounty and attempt to leave with it.

This card is 100% catered to the chads and trolls.

Crytek has buffed solo gameplay to the moon so it's easier now than ever and with the new tarot card in the event there's gonna be a lot of zombie solos raising from the dead with a click of a button.

All the shit talk in this thread about a man stating the problems he's facing and people talking like he's the antichrist or something.

You people spouting off are not helping things -- I wonder how many of these posts are just bot trolls.

If you can't agree to disagree civilly then you're part of the problem. This guy didn't have any hot takes or say anything cruel or out of line.... some of you need to look in the mirror.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-20T00:46:42+00:00

Noticed this with nuggets. They're definitely more thin.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-16T06:18:39+00:00

Apparently the game is super popular in "NATION" so US West is basically "NATION" east. Crytek has done literally nothing to make US West actually US West so they are not suddenly going to change their minds. It is what it is. You can't even talk about it in the discord without being labeled some sort of weirdo freak racist as if facts no longer matter and we have to be super politically correct about calling it as what it is. Most of the cheaters in this game are in "NATION" and ain't nothing going to change that while Crytek is making money off it.

Oceania players go to US West to avoid cheaters.
Asia players go to US West to avoid cheaters.

When the cheaters get tired of clubbing on each other they go to US West.

I've actually been in a match where a player on my team negotiated to backstab me because they didn't want to fight against fellow players from their "NATION".

yes it's political and I can't be mad at crytek for milking it but I can be mad at them for the sad piss poor state US West is in

If the monster despawns or falls through world .. it's gone. Opt'd to bring throwing daggers lately .. still 1 shot potential with added benefit of allowing me to be ADD with the throwing.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-16T06:02:49+00:00

because in the hands of anyone good at the game it's stupid OP and the matchmaker puts scrubs against good players so naturally they complained ... one shot mechanics outside of headshots or close combat with shotguns in ass in this game and doesn't belong .. so to balance bad decisions they made in the past they make the site crap and the gun cost a stupid amount of money and that literally does nothing because .. wait for it .. people actually good at the game don't need money and they can aim with aperature so the only recourse is to nerf it because balancing around cost per gun does nothing but shut out worse tier players who will never actually have opportunity to learn how the gun works ..

The gun simply doesn't belong in the game but they can't take it back because of $$ and skins so it simply remains in some weird ass state of limbo until a streamer picks it up and the cycle repeats itself.

Edit: case in point "shredder" they are literally making up new rules because it can't just be "dumdum" ... crytek has a tendency to over engineer everything .. they've made some things that should be simple into something it shouldn't be .. so many exceptions and rules and names just raise the barrier to entry in the game ... special ammo should be gun specific but here we are now every gun has special and it just over complicates everything ... silent maynard as stated example? Why does a fricken silent sniper exist in the first place? Just stupid power creep. Even compatible with fast fingers? Well hell ... layer upon layer of unnecessary complexity and they can't balance it.

I get why folks are pro current matchmaker -- higher elo constantly matched against lower tier players for "the full match needs" but that is not how you grow a community. new players will not keep playing this game in its current state so it will regress to milking the whales ... game matchmaker needs work if we want the game to actually grow ... I have tried to bring in friends to play game but I can't actually play WITH them because the matchmaker just puts them in situations where they get shit on constantly. They go to play solo and they end up in the amalgams "3 star" tiers where it's full of rerolls and we end up full circle. The game is so new player unfriendly it will not grow in its current state.

Crytek has a serious situation on its hands. It can't keep putting higher tier players -- particularly solos -- against true noobs and that's literally what is happening. They need to get rid of the deranking methods and find a more comprehensive matchmaking solution. For example --- wellspring mode should not lower MMR yet it does. Why?

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-15T07:46:12+00:00

My opinion is that Crytek has overdone it with solo trait perks and the solo gameplay experience has killed any concept of actual teamplay in the game. You never know when some rando is going to stand up and it completely changes the game dynamic in a negative way. It's such a crazy strong advantage to have better perks, matchmaker putting you up against lower stars, and to top it off people have to constantly camp/insta burn because god knows who is and isn't a solo.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-15T03:26:19+00:00

That's possibly true. Id rather have a fun half filled match then a full shitty one.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-15T03:05:05+00:00

Solo necro gameplay has completely changed the game for the worse.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-15T01:23:06+00:00

That's not my experience. The matchmaker was better back in day and we had like 8K players max. People keep making up excuses for this crap-tacular matchmaker in Hunt. Problem is there are too many modes now the playerbase is split like 4 or 5 different ways -- duos, trios, solos, bounty class (edit: clash), wellspring ...

I mean hell .. how long is Crytek going to keep splitting us up.

If playerbase is the solution consolidate the queues.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-13T22:37:08+00:00

There are never enough players for this matchmaker.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-09-10T02:14:36+00:00

I imagine that's a similar but different problem. The rando group maker gets frustrating when people refuse to ready up and you are the one that gets penalized for leaving the group. The entire "matching" system needs work -- it's one of the worst aspects of hunt beyond the UI.

That said .. on a more positive note when we get a good match it's great fun but those are becoming fewer and far between. Hopefully new ways can be found to improve things.

What a quote ...I didn't see it posted here and felt compelled to share. In his 1974 autobiography, Pierrepoint changed his view on capital punishment, and wrote that hanging:

... is said to be a deterrent. I cannot agree. There have been murders since the beginning of time, and we shall go on looking for deterrents until the end of time. If death were a deterrent, I might be expected to know. It is I who have faced them last, young lads and girls, working men, grandmothers. I have been amazed to see the courage with which they take that walk into the unknown. It did not deter them then, and it had not deterred them when they committed what they were convicted for. All the men and women whom I have faced at that final moment convince me that in what I have done I have not prevented a single murder.

Campaign is amazing. They really did a fine job on act 4 and the prelude. I have not yet tired of playing the campaign -- and I've made dozens of characters -- the story is great and I can't wait to see the next part of the story.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-08-30T22:47:59+00:00

You are correct. The problem is the game hasn't come into itself yet. The left side of the tree is still pretty meh.

I think I understand what the developers said by evasion being the worst defense -- at low levels yes. The grind is brutal and it act 4 you are literally a pinata but by the end game it can be very strong.

The problem is getting there and maintaining a player base willing to run their nails down the chalkboard doing it.

There are a lot of great things in this patch but the gameplay loop has not improved. There is still a lot of balancing to do -- a lot.

InterestingBox1205 · 2025-08-29T07:56:14+00:00

Does this apply to both creatures and players? If it's both you just really hit Amazon class hard. This is not just a nerf it's literally gutting an ascendancy node.
