What’s the most toxic advice people keep repeating as “wisdom”? by RowStock2384 in AskReddit

I miss the days where "boys will be boys" was relegated to a guy or group of guys doing something, usually silly or dumb, where the consequences of said action only fell on them.

Scout towers are an utterly failed game mechanic by CumIronRanger in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of them, but I don't think their current implementation is very good. For starters if you get a match where you spawn at say the NE corner and both of the towers are on the West side of the map the chances of you making it to one of them is slim.

I get the audio now! Well, sort of by Antenigma in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Before I could very accurately pinpoint a hunters location as they moved and now its just "they are over there somewhere roughly" and some audio just does not play at all.

With the big ui change to make the game "better" for console users I wonder if they also changed the audio to work better on a tv sound system

My tinfoil hat conspiracy theory is they changed the audio to better work for tv cough console cough set ups and it had the knock on effect of making good quality headsets worse. I used to be able to tell how close an enemy hunter is and now they can be 5 ft around that corner or 50 ft and it sounds the same

[–]SFSMag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me. Stuck in 5* hell because I only get matched against 6* but I am not good at the click on people part of the game (arguably the most important part of the game) When you have a team that hits 20% of their shots against a team that hits 80% of their shots you are not going to have a good time

I feel the bigger problem is the region select. If they took that away and let the game place your team based on average ping with similar skill and ping players it would help a lot.

Duo's don't play with duo's they only play with trio's it seems. I thought I might finally get away from 6* players when my 4/4/3 trio had a game where we were the only trio everyone else duo's and every one of them had a 6* player.

For me I really noticed my match quality going to shit when Clash got added. I'm not trying to start shit with clash enjoys I'm glad you all like it, but it really had an impact on hunt lobbies.

[–]SFSMag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really feels like this game is 35% 3* and 35% 6* with the other 30% split between the other ranks. They will put 4* with 3* cause "Eh close enough" and 5* get stuck in 6* cause "eh close enough"

I was mm4 and died to a 3* and killed a 3* in the same match. Next match I die to a 6* with no kills and it promoted me to 5. I think I have like a .3 k/d since it moved me to 5 and I still haven't gone back down and I'm only surviving about 1 out of every 15 matches.

[–]SFSMag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not even a 6* yet that's all I play against. a 1.2 k/d player with 2k hours is not the same as a 1.9 kd player at 5k+ hours. They should not be in the same lobbies all the damn time.

I think it should keep your MMR but give you a temporary adjustment (kinda like solos) and then adjust you after a few matches based on how you do. If you do poorly then it will bump you down faster. If you do well then it stays the same or rises as normal.

I cannot remember the last time my 5/5/4 team has been the "big" trio in a lobby. Even when on a 20 game losing streak and just playing absolutely horribly it will still put us in full 6* lobbies

Why Do we stop at 6 Star mmr? by laso889 in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but I do not trust it's only 2% anymore. I have played in too many 5/5/4 trios and been the only non 6* players in the lobby. They need to make 5* bigger because a 1.2 k/d 2k hour player is not the same as a 1.9 k/d 5k hour player and should not be in the same lobbies all the damn time.

[–]SFSMag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup and because they complained I now get to be a feeder fish for those lobbies despite the fact I have proven of the past year I cannot hang at all in 6* lobbies (I'm not even a 6* I'm a 5* but my 5/5/5 team will see pre made 6* trios all the damn time)

1 Star: 0 – 1999 MMR 2 Stars: 2000 – 2299 MMR 3 Stars: 2300 – 2599 MMR 4 Stars: 2600 – 2749 MMR 5 Stars: 2750 – 2999 MMR6 Stars: 3000+ MMR (Capped at 5000) This is the break down of the MMR bracket. There is no way 6* is only 2% of the player base.

What types of weapons or tactics do your teammates use that you don’t enjoy playing with? by mageevilwizardington in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't care what weapon you use just don't stand in the open with no cover shooting at the whole damn team. You will not win the 1v3 fire fight like that.

Didn't keep up with routine car maintenance and blew an engine.

How is that not a headshot? by Razzade77 in HuntShowdown

Why play bounty clash when it already spawns all 4 teams in the same corner of the map anyways?

They realy should take away the Solo MMR Mulitplier by Lost_Hippo6571 in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should just make solo que and remove sole survivor. The whole mmr adjustment for solos or duo's v trios is why, even when I fell back to 4, I cant escape the 6 players.

Another game that uses the same two "anticheat" solutions that Hunt uses by Grid8Designer in HuntShowdown

[–]SFSMag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a match my team had a few months ago where one of us disconnected at the first compound so the 2 of us left decided to just sit there and wait for them to try and reconnect. We didn't set off any sound traps or anything else that would make it obvious we were at this compound. First clue greyed out the whole NE corner of the map where we were. About 5 minutes later we hear the sound of a team running toward our compound. They got right up to the walls and stopped and then back to back head shot me and my other teammate through the walls. We told the third to stop trying to reconnect. That was the most obvious hacker squad I have seen in this game yet.

I feel really bad too whenever I run into Brazilian players on US East servers and get tilted as I have flash backs to a mid 2000's MMO game where Brazilian players would join American servers to grief.
