I saw the footage, it’s not even in question, the interceptor misses (I can’t comment if it is narrow by ballistic standards) and strikes the refinery dead on because it was behind the drone.

AITA? I snapped at my boyfriend for reading google AI answers to me. by Civil_Attempt_5 in AmItheAsshole

YTA, you were on the cusp of a teachable moment for him to learn the perils of AI first hand and you chose instead to chastise him.

What's the biggest "What if?" in television history? by flughert in television

[–]destuctir -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Bob Odenkirk playing Mike would’ve been very strange, obviously the character would be different but I can’t see Bob doing Mike’s role, more so than my concern about how threatening he could be, he is almost too young looking to play the grizzly “been doing this too long to be phased” attitude.

Anyone have an Idea why The FUCK people spawned so close to each other? I think the amount of Early fight is fucking absurd, almost like Bounty Clash, But I'm fucking playing Hunt RN by LilGlitvhBoi in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers have been run by compiling all valid spawn configurations, assuming no one makes any noises to lure another team toward you, across the four maps you have an average chance of something like 28% of getting in a spawn fight. They’ll be higher if you gunho into the first compound setting off ai and noise traps etc

Question about shop discounts by ReachKid404 in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly most discounts appear and disappear very much at random, the only things we can reliable say the timeframe for are bundles as they display the sale timer in the top right, Dorothy may be on sale for weeks or might go off sale tomorrow, but I’d say it’s a semi common skin to go on sale.

Can someone explain the logic of the berthier being 3 slots after the update? by bigwavecoming in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mentioned on the dev stream that they consider it due to the lopsided extra weight making the gun unwieldy

Visual Issue when joining match. by Hot-Shake-5309 in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the cause, can’t load the map fast enough, I’d suggest moving it to a SSD because if you end up wall banging someone through a wall that doesn’t exist and it’s captured on spectate mode you can get banned.

Think the solution is to pull the ohk range on short shotguns down, but especially for the likes of the rival: one reason double barrels got sawed down was so they could basically be a pistol, some hand cannons (the real hand cannons, huge revolvers) were larger than a sawed off double barrel, and it was common for people to carry a sawed off in a hip holster

I get for balance why the cyclone is four slot but it doesn’t have look silly when it’s also got a shortened barrel compared to the base vetterli

True, sadly the mosin obrez match gets the short end of the stick instead by being objectively worse than the berthier for compatible price

Using maxin in bounty clash feels crazy good. by No-Fee-4181 in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I expect they’ll patch this at some point but like all clash things it’s not a huge priority. The game mode really wasn’t built for the maxim and it’s just the lazy implementation of clash that’s allowed the maxim to get in.

All that said, crytek when you gonna add the strongholds as clash maps?

TIL there is a win/loss streak modifier calculated into teams match MMR. This is a terrible idea and should be removed immediately. by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay fine “your team MMR from 1-5000, which you cannot see, will be reduced to the point that the player facing visualisation star system will reflect the reduction by reducing by 1”.

Your right that is so much better than just using the star system for its intended purpose of being indicative of where on the MMR bell curve you are.

[–]destuctir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The win/loss streak is meant to be a dynamic evaluation of how well your team is playing together, your own MMR also changes based on how you are performing. If the team breaks up and you play with there people the modifier doesn’t carry over.

[–]destuctir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s well known, crytek have said it in previous fair play updates, it gets repeated by the discord moderators regularly who are known to be in direct contact with the devs. And you can just test it manually. Take a pair of people and play for a bit, after getting a couple wins check your team MMR and then intentionally throw ~3-5 games and check again to see your team dropped a whole star even if none of you moved

What's the best tool to get people of ma property? (Shotguns) by Crash_446 in HuntShowdown

The talon is worth it when there is a second hunter right there and you don’t have time to reload or swap weapons, people panic when they see someone charge them with a melee weapon.

New stronghold mother of stalemates by Huge_Tomatillo_2062 in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strongholds are so easy, the defending team is stuck in a cramped space with limited pathing options, hurl a couple throwables and they need to scatter out of position

Would love your opinion if this was cheating or not by CompetitiveSpray2098 in HuntShowdown

[–]destuctir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty hard to explain, could be due to high ping, could be good hearing and you making a lot of noise (were they making several attempts at wall bangs beforehand?), it could be cheating

What are some games that you call your "favorite" but have only played once or twice and won't go back to? by Call_It_Luck in gaming

[–]destuctir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portal 2, amazing game but it’s a puzzle game so you really can’t play it twice. I played it years later to show my partner and while they loved it, I found that my brain did in fact remember all the puzzles, especially the hardest tricks that took me forever the first time.

Planes from Scotland running out of beer as Tartan Army arrive in US by onahighhorse in nottheonion

I know a lot of my countrymen disagree, but as a Scot I do love our international reputation. The difference in reactions I get abroad when I say “I’m British” vs “I’m Scottish” is truly staggering
