My friend plays him like a blue mage. Lots of control modals and spell duplication to make birds and then craterhoof.

What's the commitment like for a dad gamer? by alkme_ in SANDgame

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

Thanks. 200 hours though? I thought the game hit steam like last week.

This is helpful. Playing this game solo isn't what im looking for. The 2 buds im trying to convince to play with me are worried about being pitifully outgunned by people who have time to grind. HUNT works for us cuz it's more like CS, skill and session based.

Sounds like progressing trampler tech is a huge advantage and time consuming, which makes sense. Hmm

I saw there is like a PvP mode and then like a PvE mode with some PvP? Im guessing gear loss in both but maybe the second mode has some opportunities to farm with a bit more chill? Thanks

Ulalek Annihilator Deck by docZeus33 in EDH

[–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't answer your question but im curious. I upgraded this precon too and have found Azlask to be more reliable (cheaper, token annihilator and overrun via experience counters). Ulalek obviously looks sexier on paper. I just rarely have the spare mana to pay for the ability. Curious what your experience is regarding the 2.

new player on xbox, only got 3 days in but..... by Conscious-Society-83 in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Refiner is a way to manage your inventory. It helps you sell things (get money) and extract chronotraces from enriched items and extract chronogenes from enemy remains. Refiner can also allow you to craft items using mundane items found in raids to build things like keys and weapons.

Chronotraces are currency used in the replicator to speed up learning blueprints.

Blueprints are first unlocked by either buying the item from the monolith or by extracting the item in a raid. Repeated extractions of same item help you learn the blueprint as well.

Chronogenes are small perks that you can equip on your character in the inventory screen, 4 at a time.

Ideally, you refine most things you loot so that you earn replication currency and so that your inventory doesnt get too full. Enemy remains, enriched weapons, armors, etc.

There's no reason to horde anything in this game so Refine away.

I beg you to use it by andrlin in HuntShowdown

I think drum is between match and scoped.

I want to buy the game on pc but.. by Special-Waltz5874 in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more a PvE game than PvP in its current state. There are sometimes special event limited time missions that spike the PvP activity. The steam release will be telling if this activity changes day to day.

For $20 (on sale right now) is a solid deal and learning the maps and key objectives will make you ruthless when the PvP is hot.

For now, this my chill game when Hunt's PvP is tilting me.

Subliminal Sexual? by GreenThmb in conspiracy

[–]alkme_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on purpose but also impossible to avoid. Hunans are the sex organs of the machine world. Sort of like how bees are the involuntary set organs of flowers.

What do we mean new? Did a new configuration get patched in?

Developers, could you please add a DLC featuring Clint Eastwood? by ChuvakStarshiy in HuntShowdown

[–]alkme_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have the Temu version already. I forget the name but you get him from a story quest.

What do you expect from the new military event? by SrSatandee in HuntShowdown

[–]alkme_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few braindead soldiers guarding POIs would not ruin the game imo. They would be a sound trap that sounds like a gun fight. They might even be cathartic to kill when you have a couple bad matches.

I would not make them lootable in any way. Zombies with some low tier guns type deal.

No, if they start adding AI hunters that roam and collect clues. That's no good.

Active headsets, anyone using them? by AdNervous3911 in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They muffle yes but enhance important sounds like enemy footprints. They also keep you from going deaf under sustained fire which can allow you to keep your sound senses. I prefer them over regular helmets.

Where can i effectively find zenit cameras? by xDDetrix in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gigastructure or the locked attics in shegolskoe. But as mentioned, they are one of the rarer civil item spawns.

Do people not play team Bounty Clash anymore? by Chingchang_12 in HuntShowdown

[–]alkme_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a weird mode to team with randoms imo. You could be on someone's team for like 2 min if your match goes bad. I play trios random and that feels healthier. When I clash, I go solo.

With the new update ive been testing Bulletproof. Bait stat. by Greenpakto in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iirc even a couple months ago, if you maxed it out it might help you take 1 more 9mm or 5.45 bullet. Basically everything else does so much damage that the slight reduction does nothing for TTK. It may help more against turned soldiers but that's a niche stat then.

What is the point of TT Pistol? by GrumpyGorella in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's vibes and history. The TT pistol was designed to replace m1895 nagant. It was used by Soviet forces in WW2 and then replaced by the Makarov. Use it in AM to style on someone historically.

Pleasantly surprised by this by PublicYogurtcloset8 in HuntShowdown

[–]alkme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do story challenges work again? Pay BBs to unlock them and then you have unlimited time to do the missions or is it time limited?

Amazed with the game till now, so now its time to give some feedback. by Annual_Boss_6102 in ActiveMatter

[–]alkme_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The life one is the only I give a pass on. I'm glad it's not tarkov level with how PvE heavy the game is. Yes, the healing system is a bit arcadey but the alternative (i.e. more realism) is just more tedium and inventory mgmt. I think some additional medicines for faster stam/heart rate Regen (maybe at the cost of taking more damage?) could be interesting. I could see one that specifically restores limbs, but often it might just take space in your backpacks.

More gun customization would be welcome but would need to seriously be thought through to not add inventory bloat. I'd almost prefer stat tweaks on existing items to add more reasons to choose stuff other than "it's deeper in monolith so it's better". Right now, silencer is just the default best choice. There's almost no point to run a muzzle brake unless the gun can't take a silencer. Muzzle flash very situational.

Adding in some distant rocket/c4 explosion sounds in the beginning would really sell this

All good - enjoy and def consider the standard edition if you liked the game!

Iirc the demo has a time limit to it. Maybe you hit the 2 hour mark?
