[@MrMozkoZrout]

yeah that is all there is to it. Before the BB skins in the game did cost like idk 600 BBs and the newer ones kept costing more and more and DLC hunters became way better deal in comparison. Later they removed for players to earn BBs ingame properly, limiting it to 50 per week through those dumb challenges and they still kept releasing insanely expensive BB hunters. Freaking Corvid costs 2000 BBs. So yeah now they have a system that will justify all of this and will introduce some standardised crazy price categories. Also kinda cute how they are basically selling to us the tier 2 and 3 hunters as skins, very smooth.

Rarity doesn't belong in this game at all, it makes people want to use whats considered "Higher Rarity" compared to what they actually like, plus none of the skins are exactly "rare" anyway since you can drop $20 on the game and get anything that's not an event exclusive. (Edit) it seems that a lot of you missed the point of this comment, I was simply stating that a rarity system does not belong in this game and should not be added. To those in the reply section saying "I just use what I like regardless" I want to point out that with this comment I was not speaking of any individual person more as It was to the gaming community, as there are a lot of people who care more about the rarity of a skin rather than if it even looks good.

[@kevkas]

Why, why is everything scrollable horizontally? For PC players it's a huge set back in UI navigation, for controller pressing up/down instead of left/right to navigate a menu is no different, so going with horizontally scrollable sub-menus for loadout selection and hunter selection from roster is an unnecessary annoyance, and instead of saving up on clicks we will now have to click even more to get to where we want, not to mention that scrolling vertically with a mouse wheel is x100 times for intuitive for mouse and keyboard.

[@swap3813]

Rarity over legendaries, what a shame. Random names is so much better for recruiting hunters, new blood always comes for the hunt, now it’s just same old same old. Some changes are nice but feels more directed toward those who don’t want to experiment with different weapons to unlock ammo variants, why is that? Playing different weapons toward special ammo and variant is part of the hunt experience, why does this update makes it so boring?

Make it so prestige does not require you to regrind every single gun variation on top of the bullet type and have it limited by just your level once it has been initially unlocked by leveling up a gun - the way it has been before is extremely dumb and made prestiege totally not worth it no matter what. Also maybe consider just having prestiege levels unlocked for a good amount of hunter bucks like 5k$ per level or something. Getting half a million bucks is still just as grindy, probably even more so than leveling and is no less of an achievement. And start banning the god damn cheaters already! The amount of people with aimbots and infinite penetration landing 100% headshots with DUAL PISTOLS while shooting a rock or the ground is unacceptable! And those people aren't going anywhere since I've been seeing the same ones still in the game, still cheating months of even years later... Maybe bring back the per-mission earnable bloodbonds too while keeping the weekly quests - it was a pathetically tiny slow drip anyway and BB puches and casheers are just non-existant now...

///VERY IMPORTANT/// Many hunters have been robbed of the visual representation of a dress or objects on a belt when viewed in the first person!!! this upsets me terribly!! also, some new hunters lack textures on their stomachs if you look clearly down, it needs to be changed!

[@RecklessSatyr]

I am extremely disappointed that the Trial skins are assigned to prestige now. As a prestige 100 player for a long time now, I loved the difference between prestige and trials. Just develop some better pve content for desalle and the new map. This is a totally lazy approach masked as "new prestige skins". I no longer have the lebelle and lemat skin as prestigious trial skins that not everyone grinded out.

agreed. most of us already got buncha hunters to choose from, and buncha weps to choose from. aint prob never picking that wep/hunter anyway. seems like a bit of a pointless reward. Could've rewarded your most loyal players with like 1k BBs or something at least....

[@RecklessSatyr]

Bro I am mad that everyone just gets the trial skins for free too. As a prestige 100 I did everything the game had to offer. And now I gain a skin from a tutorial which I didn't even play once. It's kinda a slap to the face for every OG that grinded to prestige 100 before easy mode

[@MrMozkoZrout]

Oh i kinda expected them to rework the prestige system like they promised a while ago. Like kinda changing how it works or adding some more features to it to freshen each of your playthroughs, offer some unique customisable content or whatever. But nah they left the prestige the same only stuffed it with rewards from trials and skins of tier 1 hunters lol. good job

[@azurius_]

2:22 I really dont like the idea of seeing only a single loadout for a hunter and clicking through 4 hunters to compare them and having to remember which hunter had which loadout. pls decrease the icon size and show the equipment, traits and health bars traits of all hunters at the same time.

And what do you like about it? I imagine having more than full roster locked with soul survivors, and being unable to buy legendary skin when wanted, that is reality for me and a huge L

I usually go and instantly recruit them, dump the loadouts and traits, set the traits I usually go for, and then once I've filled my roster, go and prekit them all with the money I got from fmrunning tons of soul survivor, and then I play bounty hunt Edit: I'll buy the legendary hunters when I go through the entire list of quickplay hunters

[@senecaaurel8050]

I have to say something about the last video regarding the cheater/hacker section because I didn't comment on the video because I only saw the video a few days later. But as someone who comes from rainbow six siege and has years of experience fighting cheaters, I have to say that it's almost impossible to tell that someone is cheating/hacking in hunt showdown. Only with the most obvious cheaters is that possible. Unfortunately, there are many who don't make it obvious. And it's not our responsibility to keep our gaming experience cheat-free. It's your responsibility. Even with replay functions, you have to watch some cheaters for minutes to see that they can see through walls or use soft/hard aimbots. Unfortunately, not all cheaters are obvious and want their account banned. Even if that's almost never the case with even the most obvious cheaters. As someone who loves Hunt Showdown and plays as fairly as possible, even in solo runs I often form a team with another solo player after our gunfight, I don't ignite most of the opponents because I find the feature too frustrating, and I write a "gg wp" on the corpses in the chat because the gunfight was really fun. I think if something is suspicious I report the opponent and hope that YOU DEVELOPER get to the bottom of it to see whether this person is cheating or not.

[@senecaaurel8050]

oh and one more thing. why should I waste my time watching my opponent and checking if he is cheating when you should have people who are paid for it. I just want to have a good time with friends and enemies in a fair game

[@opossums-will-sing]

Respectfully, why do you care? If, as you say, it is difficult to distinguish a cheater from a legitimate skilled player, how does it affect your game? I'd understand if you were encountering spinbots or getting killed at spawn or something, but I think the witch-hunting is silly. I ask this as someone who's never cheated. I have 1.2kd, I'm 4*, I hit very few of my shots. I get called a cheater constantly in-game and have pages upon pages of abuse on my Steam profile. Maybe just play the silly cowboy game?

[@senecaaurel8050]

@@opossums-will-singRespectfully, WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I'm sorry that you don't understand why people don't want to play with cheaters and call it a witch hunt.

I still feel that its one step forward, two steps back with this whole revamp update. Things just needed polishing not a full overhaul. The nicest thing I noticed is the ability to chose rewards at prestige; because there are rewards and skins I don't really care about and I already have a large collection to the point where things are cluttered in my collection of skins.
