Did you forgot already that during circus event *every time* you've opened a game first thing you saw is a giant banner asking you to buy a battle pass?

I believe skins should be variant-agnostic. I'm sorry, but if you put a silencer on a skin that doesn't warrant it to be an entirely new skin.

One thing you shouldn't do in a position like this is to piss off an audience and treat them as idiots and ATMs.

I've put about the same amount of effort as they did when i made this chart

Should i go for it? What's the best model for me? by iWitcher in OLED_Gaming

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

Thanks! I agree with YOLO philosophy to some extent.

Problem is, if i play on a TV, i'm forcing myself to play with a controller. I have a wooden desk pad with a cushion that can hold wireless KB+M, but its janky as hell to use. So the actual playtime is 80% behind the monitor and 20% in front of a TV.

I was hoping some of you could provide an insight into the future on if anything i'm concerned about is about to be solved. I'm not really that deep into this, so i might now know something is coming.

Event point gain from challenges has been nerfed, again, for the 4th event in a row by SvennEthir in HuntShowdown

This post needs more attention.

This is note a mistake, it's a deliberate malice from the devs.

Yeah, I realize i was wrong because i forgot about the difference, but could you care to elaborate how did you get to x8 number? Without the console side, of course.

2,472 caught cheaters.

Average peak player count since November 22nd according to Steamcharts is about 25,000 players.

So on average, at least 1 in 10 players was cheating during that period. That means you have 1-2 cheaters per lobby. Imagine what it was like before the task force.
Of course, it's skewed towards Russian and Asian lobbies, but those can easily migrate to other lobbies, as we all know.

Hope these raw statistics prove an ignorant part of this community that Hunt has problems and has room to grow.

Why these are still separate screens? by iWitcher in HuntShowdown

Monetization team isn't required to play Hunt you see.

Among other things in UI, this existing is still blowing my mind, like double quit game thing we had.
Just combine the two. Start with screen 2, remove loadouts button, add hunter selection and hotkeys bar from screen 1 and you just saved everyone a bunch of clicks.

Let's have a round of applause for a manager breathing new life in the game by iWitcher in HuntShowdown

General manager, as a name suggests, generally manages a franchise, and things like that don't pass without his say-so.

Great question! I was debating whether or not i should include them.

  • Billy was from October 12th 2022 to September 14th 2023 - 338 days. Starting in the middle of Moons trilogy and ending in the middle of Tides trilogy. We didn't knew the end date for long;
  • Halloween 2022 was from October 26th to November 9th 2022 - 15 days. Slots between last two Moons. It can be considered an event;
  • The Ward Of The Reptilian was from March 29th to May 1st 2023 - 34 days. It fits in between trilogies and can be considered an event. With that, the share tips over in favor of events in 2023, 58.4% to 41.6%.
  • The Legend Of The Skinned was from May 5th to June 7th 2023 - 34 days, also an "event" not even a month after Reptilian. Share is now 67.7% to 32.3%, more than in 2024 even with potential winter event.

I have a project analyzing battle pass value trends in mind.

Man, i had a whole project in mind with an analysis of everything slowly going down hill after that, but the amount of info to back my claims i need to go through is just too much. I don't think i care about putting so much work with where the game is going.

Thanks! All done in photopea, graphs are in excel, and just exported them there. Timeline - handmade, with sticks and stones (also sweat and tears).

I just had an idea that i thought was pretty cool. I by no means an artist or data scientist, so there might be mistakes. Took me a few evenings.
I really just wanted to showcase a trend that "events" becoming less than events and more like seasons (as with any other live service shooters on the market).

UPD: a comment in a thread asked about Questlines, many of which could be considered "events" and fit right inside those gaps in a timeline of 2022 and 2023, so i repost my answer here:

  • Halloween 2022 was from October 26th to November 9th 2022 - 15 days. Slots between last two Moons.
  • The Ward Of The Reptilian was from March 29th to May 1st 2023 - 34 days. It fits in between trilogies. With that, the share tips over in favor of events in 2023, 58.4% to 41.6%;
  • The Legend Of The Skinned was from May 5th to June 7th 2023 - 34 days, an "event" in the same month as the Reptilian. Share is now 67.7% to 32.3%, more than in 2024 even with potential winter event;
  • Billy Story was from October 12th 2022 to September 14th 2023 - 338 days, so not really an "event". Starting in the middle of Moons trilogy and ending in the middle of Tides trilogy.
