Hunt: Showdown Dev Tracker

Hello, and you are most certainly welcome! I would love to give my feedback and opinions, but please note that I do not have a background or education in computers/networking.

I believe we have some miscommunication over what I said before. I edited my first post to reflect fewer pronouns for clarity and fixed some typo mistakes as well, but allow me to briefly try to restate here.

I do NOT notice the rubber banding when I get kills. The confusion around "when I get kills" may have come from me talking about NVIDIA highlights, which I only get when I get kills. I also do NOT notice rubber banding as much during gunfights. It happens sometimes, but I usually either die or hide behind cover if the rubber banding occurs anywhere around a gunfight.

I notice the rubber banding the most while I'm sprinting, because it kind of teleports me back a little bit. If I'm not moving around as much or as quickly, it is of course more difficult to notice. As I said before,...

First of all, I love hunt abd it's my #1 go to game atm. I like the changes they keep making including 1.0, although 1.0 DID come with some massive performance hits that have mostly been resolved.

I'm a west coast resident, but I prefer to play on both. For a while I played on west and EU because the lag on EU was better than the rubber banding on E. I think we can all agree that E had some really bad rubber banding issues, and that it was almost definitely server related.

About a couple weeks ago, they did something which drastically helped the E servers, so there appears to not be any difference to me as far as rubber banding.

That being said, I DO still experience it on occasion, but on both west and east. I play at all hours of the day/night and on different days/nights because my work schedule fluctuates, and I can say with confidence that I only notice the now occasional rubber banding (as opposed to very frequent rubber banding) only occurs at times ...

East Coast is fixed? Someone should let my game know because it is still unplayable for me and my buddy.

So basically partner up with him then extract for an easy 100?

Do I really get 100$ if I kill this guy? Like... is this a weekly challenge or something?

PS: In the game of course.

They either died while on fire, or while they were downed an enemy Hunter threw a (hell)fire bomb or lantern causing them to burn through their heath bars which when all bars are depleted they are Burned Out and cannot be revived

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the devs themselves? One of the narrative designers does the vocal and one of the audio devs plays one of the instrument if I'm not completely talking in my night gown. Not sure who the rest are.

The medium and high settings should match to older game versions. However, the low setting was tweaked a while ago.

The medium and high settings certainly don't feel the same as they did in previous versions of the game. Optimization has obviously been a point of contention for several players, hence the recent negative reviews on the steam page and something I mentioned in my previous post. Would you also be able to go into detail about the changes or "tweaks" made to the low settings you mentioned?

Realistically though, how would someone do a side by side comparison of visual fidelity when we don't have access to previous version of the game. I remember seeing a post a while back about a change to the grass textures being lower res and people just dismissing that as being "nitpicky."

Having come back to the game for the 1.0 release I can honestly say that I have no interest in playing it at the moment. In it's current state the game feels way to fast paced. This might be due to the ping system. It needlessly speeds up the pace of the combat and the overall game play experience. This is something that was a huge appeal to me early on in the games development cycle. The UI feels clunky, I really don't like how I can't see my inventory and my hunters traits on the same screen anymore. The graphics feel a bit off as well. I have noticed that the fire and lighting effects look awesome but the overall the graphics feel washed out or bland. I can't put my finger on...

consider how weapons are balanced among each other in the same caliber in regards to sway. Sparks has one shot but is more stable in live than Lebel or Mosin, in test Mosin and Lebel have same non-existent sway as Sparks, making them straight upgrades, and thats before the velocity changes.

u/NylesBlack is there any chance you can clarify a little bit? When you say earning XP with a weapon fills the bar towards the next unlock, does that mean just having the weapon equipped will progress it at the end of a match? Or does it mean solely the XP earned by firing that specific weapon at monsters/Hunters/Bosses will progress it?

I'm sure we'll know the actual answer to this when it reaches the test server, but I'm just curious!
