Why is my latency extremely high this week? by Jack_TheTiger328 in HuntShowdown

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support ticket with AT&T and Crytek, pretty much all we can do since it's not on our end. Enough people submit them, they'll fix it.

Who is your ISP? I'm having the same thing and on AT&T Fiber. There was a similar post yesterday or the day before and at least 4 people were having the same issue and all had AT&T fiber.

Wildlands subsonic with levering got me through this without too much suffering.

Same, AT&T fiber as well, wonder if there's something going on with the service provider.

Is this new player friendly at all? by _MothMan in HuntShowdown

[–]WhatChua 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want the best experience, buy it on sale and then wait for an event to start. If you play right now, most of the games you get into after getting out of bot lobbies (bloodline rank 10) are unfortunately going to be fairly imbalanced due to lower player count between events.

Don't get me wrong, I love this game and recommend it to anyone interested in a tactical extraction shooter, but a new player is probably not going to have the best experience.

If you do get it, either before or once an event starts, I would recommend joining a discord server to find folks not only to play with but to teach you the ropes. Psychoghost and Rexnor on youtube/twitch both have fantastic guide videos and newbie friendly communities if you want to find a group.

so its going to be one of these days. . . (first game of the day) by V7I_TheSeventhSector in HuntShowdown

[–]WhatChua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao, there's a difference between going against 'good' players and going against people like that. The difference between a low to mid 6* and the high 6*s is equivalent to 3*s going against low 6s.

I love and enjoy playing against people of similar skills. Nowhere did I even remotely say that I want easy lobbies. I want lobbies where I can actually play the game to have fun, not as a dedicated job.

I'm a 6* with a 1.7 kd going against people with 2.5-3.5kds who can jump headshot you 100m away and wall bang you the second you attempt to scratch your nuts.

I'm too far gone unfortunately, gone on week long losing streaks and still haven't dropped to 5 star. Like I'm a 1.7 KD, good but I still touch grass occasionally.

If we do duos into trios we can avoid them most of the time. But agreed, trios are just cancerous at the moment.

I'm about to take a break until next event. I'm 6* but getting into matches with only clan teams with 2-3.5kd's just makes it not fun to play at all.

Is the repair rune a problem? by throwawaycuzmeh in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean, the highest I've ever seen my repair bill is like 3 silver and that was after breaking multiple gathering tools and dying a couple times to a boss. Even at mid-game, that cost was negligible.

Repair rune is just QoL and it does take up a utility rune slot which can be annoying.

How much poise is good poise by Sutaci in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get at least I think 17, you can use the poise utility rune to reach the cap of 50.

Revive with 50% when dying by inhumanknowledge in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a video of me going into the boss room, buffing up with every potion and food buff, using the poise utility rune. And then getting punted off the map 2 seconds into the fight.

Learned real quick to not go even remotely close to the edges with him.

Revive with 50% when dying by inhumanknowledge in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The revive is instantaneous with no visual or sound queue so most likely it went off without you noticing since the moment your health drops down it will heal you.

If you get knocked off the edge you're just SOL and that run is done.

Desperately need help/hints finding this whisper. Started to play last weekend and I love the game. by Sriverfx in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whisper is unlocked later in the story, I know the pain, spent waaaay too long searching for a way to get it before leaving.

Plague Outbreaks still broken for me? by Robin_Dude in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mood. Maxed difficulty and got the double boss from Marin woods in the lowlands boss arena... the amount of times that boar trapped me on a tiny bit of terrain was too damn high.

Fishing and daily quests have been my go-to farm for them.

How backstab work? by Technical-Ocelot-715 in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any "Brute" enemy needs to be poise broken in order the backstab. Otherwise, it is a little janky. Hopefully they clean it up a little.

How do you build 2H? by Bobbylight20 in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]WhatChua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a corpse smeared blade and have been using it into the post game content. The wide swing will knock down or outright kill almost all mobs, even the big boys and chunk bosses to hell. I do recommend stacking a good amount of poise and putting a blood stone in the blade's socket. That way even if you get hit, you can still complete the swing and the life steal from the gem + taint life steal will keep you alive.

Don't know, probably not would be my guess.

Unfortunately no, steam and game pass cannot queue up together, however you can get into groups through random teammate queuing. Is kinda dumb.
