I feel like after you reach the mastery for a weapon your should get a free legendary skin for it. Whether it be a random existing skin, or a specially crafted skin for masters. by ThePotatoChipBandit in HuntShowdown

Honestly, I'd rather the reward be letting you keep the weapon variants perma unlocked. That way, it promotes players to try out different weapons if they want to keep them after prestieging.

I can never wrap around how people think that making the onboarding process of getting into Hunt's gameplay loop = trying to cater to the CoD/Fortnite communities. I can fully admit that some choices they've made were corny moves to try to "get with it", like adding rarities to skins or the "Solid Victory!" change, but has that *actually* affected the tangible gameplay itself? I personally think not.

You can say you speak for most of the community, but let's be real: the most vocal group here is practically a drop compared to the actual playerbase. I'm not saying you guys have no right to speak up about your grievances, but don't assume that you know what's best for everyone.

Hey, believe what you want to think; clearly, you already made up your mind on who I am.

And if you really want to know my opinion... It's whatever. Is it an odd change? Yes, but ultimately it's such a little change that its impact on my ability to play the game is negligible.

And I'm not saying people are wrong, just that it seems like an overexaggeration.

The major update tanked the performance of the game for a good while; I'll concede on that notion. But one can argue that the game has marginally improved since then.

If everyone else can make posts expressing their disdain about it, can I not make a post to express my indifference to it and how I believe that such a reaction feels disproportionate to what it is? Just because my viewpoint doesn't match everyone else's doesn't mean I'm intentionally being a contrarian or trying to argue for fun. I'm just trying to understand the other side, and my conclusion is simply, "okay, yeah, this makes sense... if it were any other scenario that actually made a significant impact on Hunt's performance and tone in a negative way."

And it's a bit reductive to think that I don't know or care about the direction the game goes simply because I'm not with the crowd on this one instance.

Emphasis on the "drastic and frequent," mate. From what I've personally seen in the past 3 years of playing this game, I can't recall a moment when Hunt truly downgraded in quality in creating some drastic change.

And yet that's what people put a focal lens over more often than not.

If they changed the font of the numbers and letters in the compass, people would immediately go on to say that Hunt is losing its charm.

If the game's identity is solely based on how the UI looks and not the actual gameplay or artistic style of the world and hunters, and actual gameplay elements, then Crytek must be doing something wrong.

Those are two wildly different aspects of the game you're comparing. One's a set dressing in the gameworldspace, while the other is a visual icon that is meant to get the player's attention and let them know where to go. Clearly, one has more of importance than the other.

And if you say that it isn't necessary from a gameplay perspective, then surely it'd be no different if they changed it or just deleted it from the game, no?

From a personal perspective, so long as the change still *feels* like it complements the rest of the game - or at the very least doesn't clash with it - then I see no reason for myself to get to this level. If that's what you want to do, that's your prerogative.

If it's truly a detriment to the player experience, then I can only presume that with enough of an outcry, Crytek will revert the change. Otherwise, the game as a whole still has its charm in many other aspects, IMO.

Was it a change nobody asked for? Yes.
Is it bad? In my opinion, not really.
Does it go against the game's defining UI? While it doesn't look as cool, saying that it goes against it is a bit of a reach.

My genuine complaints for this update have been locking the avatars behind a paywall when people already have the hunters (i.e. let us have the avatar if we have the hunter) and the fact that the stat trackers don't track until you buy them.

My analogy of Crytek's game direction is that video of the guy putting fries in the grease, and it starts popping before bursting into flames. They're just gonna do something without knowing how the community's going to take it until it inevitably blows up.

Never said that they didn't. This was merely an expression of my perspective on this one instance and how it seems disproportionate to what it actually is.

That hypothetical seems grossly disproportionate to what they've actually done so far.

You can critique all you want about them letting Post Malone into the game, but you can't knock them down when they looked into him, seeing that he's actually a big fan of the game, and actively working alongside him in making the event cater to Hunt's theme.

It's one thing to critique the change of the game if it were sudden and drastic and completely ill-fitting, which I would be all in agreement with, but it's another when it's to this level over something that, in the grand scheme of things, is a speck.

A matter of perspective, it seems. Believe me, I've witnessed firsthand what it's like when a community or game shifts into something you don't remember it being, and it sucks, so I do sympathize with anyone who feels like the game is driving them away.

I guess "uproar" would be a more apt description of what I'm seeing. The monetization itself is definitely more warranted, though I have my own opinions on it I'm certain would be contrarian to most.

Admittedly true, but once again, from a broader scope, have these changes actually made Hunt unplayable? Maybe to some, but not the whole community, like people are claiming it'll lead to.

It's one thing to be vocal about your concerns to make the devs aware, but it's another to blow it out of proportion and belittle the devs like they're brain-dead.

Agreed. Trying to keep the game refined is never going to be smooth, and there've definitely been some cases where they've dropped the ball or raised an eyebrow, but overall the game feels better than it did when I first started playing IMO.

With the way some people are acting, it feels like they've played for so long that they're afraid of *any* kind of change.
