How I imagine "vanilla Hunt" after all these events
Good day Hunters!
We had a long session of events after each other with very little time in between. I really enjoy these events, but in my opinion, sometimes we should get a break. So here is how I imagine a Hunt "vanilla":
- Keep the scout towers, it's a great addition to the game, but... give us other clues: letters, notes, maps left on a desk (like a workbenches can have blueprints) which discovers one single POI on the map. Can be an extract, a supply point, wild target or "event compound" etc.
Remove at least 1 sniper from the tower, 1 is enough.
- Event compounds: we already have 3: Fool's hideout, Circus and Nest. In every match should spawn one, and only one randomly. And the map changes a bit depending on that. You see clowns walking around the map? You can be sure a Circus is there somewhere. Bileweavers? Yes, there is a nest. If none? Hideout.
- Keep the pledge system, but make it matter more: getting pledges can be done by looting hunters for the first time, banishing bosses/wildtargets or envelopes. And make the other, pledge-spending mechanics much more scarce: I can have a 4shot boon active half the match without any issue.
- Keep the tarot cards, but make them randomized a bit more: the burned convoy should have 1 chariot and 1 random card. The gamble-machine 1 magician and a random. Scout towers a pathfinder and a random. Currently the fixed spawns make the game predictable. You'll always find a solo on the burned convoy stocking on empress cards (if it's not snached before they got there). Make them more randomized, more scarce on fixed spawns, but give us back the random spawns (like the ruins between cpmpounds.
- make the firefigther-supply (with the flamerifle) a bit bigger "event themed" compound, and back to my 2nd point: the inferno "weather" should be a special "event" like the circus and bileweaver. In each event compound you can find a fixed scarce weapon (firefighter>flamerifle, circus > shredder, bileweaver > homestead, hideout > wildland. I know I'm promoting randomness in my other points and fixed in here, bit I think these weapons fit the theme perfectly without balance issues.
- bring back Ashbloom. I know it annoyed a lot of people, but the fake steps, sounds, things, the atmosphere.. oh, and the Serpent Moon. The green night was beautiful!
Maybe give us 1 more wildtarget or boss, and we are good to go for a long time without any content addition, and finally Crytek could focus on MMR rework, anticheat and ping abuse, etc.
All the pieces are already in the game, just please put it together
What do you think?
