Re: Official Community Competitions - FEEDBACK
Oh lord, people complain that those that have loads the time to play are at an advantage over those who do not and therefore have no chance in the comps...... please wake up guys IT IS A GRINDERS GAME...... I am currently playing the Witcher 3 and going along at a nice pace doing missions and leveling up, played Mordor Shadow of War and after 300 hours was at the max in the game, on the online conquests etc.... finished. I have over 4000 hours in theHunter and have a score of around 37k..... not even a third of a Hoocairs etc.... many missions still to complete, and soooo many rares etc still to get. This is a long grind and enjoy for 10 years game. That is the reason it is still around, you may not be able to do a 3 hour hunt everyday but there is always the chance you might walk out of the lodge and the first male Whitetail is a 220 albino..... oh lord the joy !!!

See how ridiculous it is to please the majority of the game every single weekend?
The weekend competitions are meant to highlight every aspect of theHunter has to offer, especially the more obscure or newly introduced content the game has to offer.
Business-wise, theHunter has to monetize in some way, especially after the move to the "free-mium" business model.
Competitions serve that dual purpose of incentivizing players to play and compete more AND potentially boost cash in-flows through concurrently running the weekly sales.
= = =
That said, I agree with curlyCoyote's statement:
Instead of only 1 long competition spanning the whole weekend, how about multiple "mini-comps" to complement the "Main" comp?curlyCoyote wrote:Why not have multiple weekend comps on a weekend?

And after the last Bull competition I have to say that it will be better that those competitions,the quality ones and for all players the long or short time ones must be Singe and not multi. That break the chances for the short time players.Schlachtwolf wrote:Oh lord, people complain that those that have loads the time to play are at an advantage over those who do not and therefore have no chance in the comps...... please wake up guys IT IS A GRINDERS GAME......

Re: [FEEDBACK] Official Community Competitions
If you can make something that prevent the game crashing at the moment we are ready to confirm a kill it would be an good thing. I saw many players reporting that this bug arrive many times the same way. When we push the button to confirm ,the game crash giving an error and close. I lost a big Apex today in the week end competition from that stupid error. And after that Doc comes with a message that we have not confirmed the kill. I wrote to Doc ( I don't know if someone read those messages) saying that like you can see that I killed the animal you can maybe confirm the kill for me

Re: [FEEDBACK] Official Community Competitions
Hello. I would like to note a few points:
1) viewing your result at any time, and not just your position
(if this is a competition for several animals, for example, the average weight of three deers, then the ability to see the weight of each by clicking on the result of each participant in the competition table);
2) convenient viewing the results of the competition after its completion;
3) more female (male + female) competitions;
4) the limit of one game day for competitions on the number (total weight);
5) competition calendar in the launcher.
Thanks for the attention.

Re: [FEEDBACK] Official Community Competitions
I'm enjoying this comp (Ibex one June 7)... but at this time seams that SM isn't solved. Take a peeak at the first position 282 ibex. The hunting history of that player is plenty of 8m hunts, and even de one that get the trophy one is just a 30' run.
But... any way... it's a very reflexive and cunning comp and you have to "dicipline" your trigger, chose a fine target, or even spot a nice one and keep going to see if there is a nice one. Or shot one and keep it unharvested till you see the others. it feels much more "like hunting" and far for playin lotto.
the 100% trophy value is a wellcomed add. Choose the right weapon... One you are familiar to [EDIT: you may face realy long shots]... choose a proper shot... WE ARE HUNTING AGAIN!!!! Just so enjoyable...
@Pucu, keep on, youre doing great.
BTW... any news on new "revamps" like the one on turkeys? Coyote and foxes will use a facelift. Playing this comp and seeing the engine and the textures (i feeled the same in the previos Elk one) [EDIT any way enjoyable and beatifull... if youre not a 8k freak]made me sad. It's a great game with a great comnunity and with simple... "higienic" or "cosmetic" upgrades could it be so great.
If things like this comp gets to COTW may be that i even mind to reinstalit.
Good work, people. One more time
EDIT: And sorry for the kicks on the Shakespeare dead tonge. Sorry

Re: [FEEDBACK] Official Community Competitions
I was wondering about the SM that I commented before... An I realized that the very problem may be the usability and use of tents. The mechanic itself. It as some one suggested the tents was places to start " paying " supplies... Or simply if you wouldn't use them in-game, only start on them... Those simple changes would simply sweep off the SM that is already on the game. Me myself after "auditing" some red deer comps found and replicated those practices putting a tent and a stand on a given point that give the most wining bucks ... And I deed it worked. A lot of spawns all around and you simply have to start at the southern lodge, fast travel to the tent, spray some urine and make some calls. And then sit on the tree and wait for the given trophy . And in 20-30 minutes it pais. I don't like this way of playing. Just don't enjoy. And it's a EXPLOIT. it's not that someone with 10 years exp knows we're have to be and when. No. It's a formulaic way to play.
Things like the actual comp are totally against this practices, and i like. But what itches me is that the winer may be one of those "formulaic" players that play a way that personally I don t understand.
Oy! BTW it's not a rant! I just want to share my opinion and I respect the others.
Stay safe and GH.

If I am being honest, even if the spawnmashers are still mashing kills for comp, it's still fun to hunt with my friend in multiplayer for the weekend comp. Also thank you for making it multiplayer-only, I can finally see all the expensive setups high hunter score players are hiding to themselves.

Re: [FEEDBACK] Official Community Competitions
In regards to the recent Valentine's day event, EW might want to consider some ways to make these events 'newbie' friendly.
For the mission to shoot 12 deer through the heart with Cupid Arrows, beginners are shut out because it is likely that they don't own a bow. For this type of event you might want to consider implementing 'Cupid Slugs', free like the other 12GA ammo, and limited to players with beginner and intermediate hunting scores. That way a beginner would at least have a chance to try the mission. If it is too difficult to implement a new ammo type for an event, allow ANY ammo to be used by beginners and intermediates.
