Hunter Jackets

[Zerodarion]

Me and my Buddy raid Bases every 3 Days and no jackets at all. Iron ingots and armor plates are fine but not a singe jacket lol. Do we need to wait longer to get "better" loot? :O

There is a need for some major balancing. The Dev is aware of it.

hunter jackets are rare now. you may have to go many base raids before you come across one now. waiting more days wont affect the quality of the loot as that is already determined when it respawned.

They are a bit beyond "rare" IMO. I"ve raided at least 80 hunter bases now across five SP profiles and three MP profiles and have found zero jackets.

Yeah you are probably right... It has been 13 raids of all three hunter bases for me on my newest profile and I have seen one jacket.

nows probably not the time to tell you guys this but I got two jackets from the same base in this last game, after I had turned hunters off, then back on. first raid! and again like 5-6th one.
doh.
right after I came on here and again biotched about loot and the absence of the jackets.

he DID say he reduced its frequency. an boy did he.
imo, alllllll good loot has not only dissapeared from hunter base loot but also special crates.

I just did a 70-some day run with hunters on, and only got 4-5 grenades, alot of adhesiove, and metal ingots, nails, an crap mostly.
well, I cant say that cause I got 2 jackets huh?

I finaly got one and wondered what all the hubbub is about. One degree warmer than a hevy shirt. That's it? Damage protection is the same. When will I get a solar panel is the question I want answered.

[Ribalder]

only got 2 solar panels in 70-some days of raids. rare. very rare. another aspect of why bother/put up with hunters. their loot is ♥♥♥♥♥, an been cut like the special crates

youre waiting for solar panels from hunters loot? shooooo..gonna take a looonggg time my friend.

I totally agree on the Hunters Jacket and would like to hear from those who want it so badly, WHY? It exchanges with the T- shirt but if you have on a Heavy-Duty T-Shirt it does not give you any more hitpoint protection, it merely increases your temperature tolerance by 1°C.

And why aren't you crafting solar panels dominuskevin?

Agreed ... Hunter jackets appear to be non-existent at the moment.

However, I recommend instead of making them more readily available again, CG should provide a crafting option so that players can make a jacket with similar protection but with a completely different look & color. That is, players should not be running around looking like Hunters but they should be able to craft similar levels of protective clothing as Hunters.

I have 96 at the main base and 2 at my decoy base in cougar country. I would rather get something totaly useful.

Perhaps he gave them the jacket so it would be easier to distinguish them from your friends in MP. Imagine everyone with one and fire fight breaks out.

How about 'Hunter Orange' for us?

Lol i didn know that Hunter Jackets give the same Protection as a Heavy Duty shirt. Lol i guess i will craft me and my buddy some heavy duty shirts :D that one °C temperature Tolerance doesnt matter, i stay in base at night anyway :D Last time i was outside at night, 6 hunters shot me in the face when going back to base xD Only when CG adds the sleeves to your first person view, then i would take them. Omg i hope that doesnt take so long as in Rust. Since 4 years early acces and only since few weeks you can see your glowes and sleeves :D Fighting 6 Armored guys with a pistol in Hand withour any sleeves feels like im naked :D Atleast i dont need do be mad i didnt got a Hunter jacket when raiding the 3 Bases. :D

I suppose whether it needs balancing further depends really just how rare they are inteded to be. I think it certainly needs a look and a decision to be made as to whether they are intended to be rare but fairly easily obtainable or one of those items in game that are viewed as the holy grail, in which case the item itself really should stand head and shoulders above the rest. In Don't Starve, I have over 1000 hours play recorded, and despite this amount of hours and the fact that I harvest krampus at every opportunity plus actively create opportunities for him to spawn, I have never once been fortunate enough to obtain that illusive Krampus Sack which has a 1/100 chance of being dropped. For me obtaining the sack is viewed as an in-game challenge, I don't see it as a right, but I am motivated to get it because of the enhanced storage and I suppose personal sense of achievement. If the hunter Jacket has become this hard, surely the bonus for finding one should reflect this.
