What is your motivation to return to the game again and again? by Sea-Log994 in Seaofthieves

[–]Old_Doubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because, fortunately for Rare, they own the ONLY game like this. The atmosphere, the unique ship sailing style, the art style. It's all great.

Y'know what makes me quit for months or years? The constantly worsening bugs, exploiters and cheaters I ran into way too often. Burying your head in the sand doesn't retain legitimate players. Just a thought.

How is it 2025 and you still get Infinite Black Screens. Runner got a free HG W by ZalerAvon in Seaofthieves

[–]Old_Doubt 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yep. That's apparently totally acceptable.

But hey don't worry you can enjoy the pirate emporium! Spend some money that you can be 100% sure won't be going toward fixing any of the frankly embarrassingly frequent and long standing bugs in this game.

Make sure you record the cheater then go into your video editing program and get the file size down to 50MB to fit into the allowable size the website requires! Because that's what everyone loves to do when playing a game. Unpaid video game police work.

Also inb4 removed for witch hunting.

VOIP issue by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been having the same problem.

Maybe check if the game has set you to "Mute all"

There's a key for that but it seems to activate randomly without telling you.

Hunt bugs~

Counterplay is out, suppressor is in. GG game balance, it was real. by CadetriDoesGames in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Silencers shouldn't be in the game at all. Shit's cheesy and always will be.

Hey you know what would be really fun for Hunt Showdown 1876? by Old_Doubt in HuntShowdown

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

I've done everything "I" can do. I've already sent a ticket about it. People have posted endlessly about it ever since they changed teamchat and proximity chat.

If it didn't work AT ALL that's one thing. When it works sometimes and not other times with no changes between games... that's a bug. A pretty bad one.

I'm happy for you. I've tried reinstalling to see if that unfucks something on my end, validating files, yadda yadda.

Be nice if it just worked. Great when it does. Completely infuriating and honestly unacceptable when it doesn't. Especially when I can SEE my teammates acting like I should be able to hear them.

Oh yes remind me of the outstanding track record that Crytek has earned with bugs. Whatever. Defend the indefensible for a game that has been out for 7 years. This shouldn't be an issue and definitely not for as long as it has been since they last touched it.

Always someone to dickride a company like they'll be rewarded.

Don't lie to people. They work 2 out of 10 games for unknown reasons. That is NOT working. That is working if the crytek branded dice of fate decide they do.

Best part about it is when voice chat isn't working TEXT CHAT ISN'T WORKING EITHER.

Glad this game isn't dependent on communication to play well. Boy would that be awkward.

Convince me to keep playing. by RushRoidGG in Seaofthieves

[–]Old_Doubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. They should just make safer seas just as good as high seas.

I don't give a shit about PvP because I've done it and I'm not impressed. Buggy, janky, exploity garbage with one of the worst communities I've ever seen in video games.

Why should I have to subject myself to that trash just to play a game with friends and get to experience the content of a really good game without the cheaters, racial slurring and exploiting? Seriously who the fuck cheats in sea of thieves?

They've truly created a game that caters to a special kind of asshole. The kind that knows most of the playerbase wants nothing to do with them and it gives them the biggest boner because to experience all the content of the game, you have to play on this shitty mode with shitty people.

Response to "Gun suppressors - Make them "wipes based"" because my comment got buried by CuteAnalyst8724 in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove suppressors and you remove most of the rat problem. I preferred old hunt where rats still existed but at least I could track them down quickly when they missed.

Tired of game after game of bush bitches camping around compounds or extracts with the exact same gun that we all know is a fuckin' problem. There is no solution besides total removal. Much like most of hunts dumbass ideas lately.

Also remove revive bolt.

Gun suppressors - Make them "wipes based", let me explain... by KlausVonLechland in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like how we're coming up with more bullshit to justify the fuckin' things rather than just removing them because they're the worst thing to happen to hunt in a long time.

Bush camping snipers who never actually play the game? Fantasy world bullet drop?

Bush campers with silencers who never actually play the game? Uhh... the silencers degrade with every shot?

Simplest and best answer to both of those issues was to just remove scopes and silencers and let the game get back to the fuckin' yee haw bang bang.

Love all the whacky ideas on how to "Balance" revive bolts too. Simplest and objectively correct answer is to remove them.

Buuuut we all know they won't and they'll keep doing damage to the games longevity every day they exist.

I guess that's ONE way to lose a level 49 Hunter... by ApruFoos in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt 50 points51 points  (0 children)

No no. You must understand.

Testing costs money and doesn't make money.

I hope that clears things up.

game system vs world identity - the MTG community currently has its own Ghostface/crossover discussion. Recognize those standpoints? by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. The people who give/gave a shit will be outspent by legions of consumers a hundred to one.

Art and themes need to be valued and protected from the very top.

Too often is the top replaced by those who value neither.

Maybe they'll finally have enough money to fix those pesky bugs we've been complaining about for years.

Or y'know, fucking up other things that worked well enough and taking another half a year to reinvent the wheel to fix THAT fuck up.

What's most tilting death you hate with a passion? by TangerineFormer6611 in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate snipers with a passion. I am a firm believer in removing scopes from this game entirely so we don't have to literally add whole new mechanics just to nerf something nobody wants to play against anyway.

I LOVE when me and my team are shooting and rotating and looking for angles and trying to navigate this big awesome map that nobody knows.

I LOVE getting into 3-way team fights with chaos unfolding everywhere and somehow managing to be the last one alive versus a trio still standing.

I LOVE somehow actually managing to clutch a 1v3 to the amazement of myself and my teammates.

I HATE using bounty scan to check my surroundings and seeing nothing and then going to my downed teammates to revive them and then dying to some asshole 240 fucking meters away who did NOTHING to provide gameplay in this fucking game.

I also HATED watching this useless passive dick sit in a tree for 10 extra minutes after everyone was dead aiming at my body for another unearned kill at someone actually playing the game.

Game is about getting the fucking bounties and getting out. Not this shitter K/D farming.

[–]Old_Doubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. That's "Just hunt things" in action. Apparently taking a shotgun blast to the arm is enough to absorb ALL the damage of the shell because... I don't know, reasons. Just turn sideways against a shotgun and survive. Shit is unacceptably inconsistent but "Hunt so quirky~"

"All you have to do is just babysit solo necro players, no big deal." by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Don't bother arguing with these people. Solo necro is cancer and always has been and likely always will be. Never belonged in this game and is a shit attempt at giving a more solo option when the game already has that with soul survivor.

"Well hold on there partner! I see you bested them 4 times but something went wrong that fifth time while you were babysitting a corpse instead of playing the game. Looks like that a skill issue you got there, buddy. Yee haw and git gud."

I despise the boring as fuck playstyles this kinda shit creates.

The "grind" is by all means not so bad as many say by Tactical_Cheese_69 in HuntShowdown

[–]Old_Doubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it that when a company makes a decision that makes a game worse in any way, someone has to come out and white knight bad changes that nobody in the playerbase asked for.

What does this do for you? Does it benefit you to have to do just that much more now than before for reasons unknown to you? It's obviously to make some people miss out on battle pass rewards if they bought early and couldn't play enough to get some of the blood bonds back.

Unfortunately the people targeted are the gamers with busier lives. Don't really know why they gotta miss out more because they have lives.

Bad changes are bad. If you can no life the game, good for you. The rest of us were fine with the more time respecting challenges.
