so this event...

[Bloodavenger]

Correct me if im wrong but isnt this event mechanically exactly the same as the pumpkin one? like EXACTLY the same with just a reskin and added P2W stuff

[Terminal Velocity]

Yes. All events are the same. Before it was pumpkins, presents, witch branches, etc. The mechanics are always the same. They just change the item appearance. Tomorrow it may be Boeing 747s. Who knows?

It's not but everyone kid in the world cries P2W if you include any sort of microtransaction. People are gonna cry about the 1k points you can buy like it makes a bit of difference, you can get that in 3 games of not being retarded.

literally anything other then a reskin of an old event. How about a big ass gungame type thing or a mode that awards you more points depending on the weapons used like the worse the weapon the more points. How about a hunter/ hunted type mode where a squad gets marked as cursed and get more health and stuff basically making you the thing being hunted in that game and you get points if you survive and the others get points for killing you and taking your bounty. Anything but the same thing copy and pasted.

DLC characters giving you a bonus towards the event. Yes you can earn them after a long ass grind but that doesn't change the fact you can just put in money and get what is essentially event boosters this makes the devs make the event more grindy to push people to buy more of their blood bonds this isnt rocket science and this isnt the 1st game to do it either

You want a new event that 100% transforms the game and it's design direction and forces people to play it to earn new rewards. Sounds like a great idea bud, you're hired.

I would much prefer an opt in limited gametype vs "hey what if we just add more of what you do already and call it a new event" (like we already do with hunt cash and bloodline exp). If you are so content on doing the same stuff on repeat you could have the opt in gamemode shake up aswell as have the existing "event" point system in normal games. I will never understand people that just accept more of the same stuff on repeat over new interesting content.

This is more pay for convenience. Nothing about the Legendary characters gives you a unfair winning advantage. Just skins and cool factor. Agree it is a long grind except that in this event there are no legendary characters to grind for. You either buy them or you don't.

As for the event. If you listen to any of the livestream or youtube content updates they talk about how in future events they are going to switch it up. Maybe next time go seek information about the future of the game, because it is out there and easy to find, before bashing it for not immediately doing the thing you want. The next year for this game is stacking up to be pretty awesome - quests, progression, weapons, a new boss etc. Not sure this is really worth complaining about with what we have coming.

I can see the 'p2w' thinking, but it is way way way off... you get literally no advantage outside of a 10% boost and some sight range increase... most points will come from pvp and tell me, what is 10% of 20 (think its 20 lol)..

As for events, they had some of the stuff you mentioned already. The Indian event gave you more points on useing the bow vs hives and axes vs armored... i really liked that actually, wish they go back to it. Kind of dig the bounty team choice, but would rather see them go more faction vs faction... Which is kind of implied exist in this event. Other things like more health and curses and such... just isn't what the game is about. You go in, kill boss, kill other hunters, and GTFO. Got to be careful not to unbalance the Hunt Formula.

inorder to do this you would have to have 333 points per match, or you would need to wiper the server(get 10 kills),for 200 points, kill 2 bosses and extract with them for 60 points and then get 6 event clues for 72, thats a total of 332 using, then additional basic math(YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED THIS IN 5th GRADE) you can calculate that just for those 10 kills assuming the game fills the match to 12 people total, and you have a teammate, and everyone is around the same skill level, you would have a ~17% chance of getting those kills, then since you can have 1 or 2 bounties per map(50% chance for 2 bounties) you can half the chance of 332, so 8.5% chance of this, then since the event clues have a 33%~ chance of being there you can take 1/3 of 8.5% and get ~ a 2.2552% chance to do this, then finally you would have to do this 3 times, meaning assuming a normal hunt player you would have to play ~117 matches in order to do this. THIS IS NOT 3 MATCHES, this is you pulling a random number out of your ass and making a poorly thought out objectively WRONG point. Crytek pulled some obscene BS with this event and those numbers should make that obvious, of course you should have already been able to do that basic math, so i'm not expecting much from you. FINALLY at the rate previously specified it would take ~1175.5 matches of hunt showdown to do this, that is obscene if you assume and average match time of 10 minutes, GENEROUSLY including loading/queue times then it would take your average person ~195.92 hours to get 9996 event points , or in the space of 3 weeks you would need to play 60 hours a week, 60 HOURS, A FULL TIME JOB IS 40 HOURS A WEEK. you need to pull your head out of your ass and think instead of spewing this illogical BS.

I started to follow you, but then that wall of text just got sooooo blurry. You are incorrect though, it starts with 333'ish per day... since you need 10k and you have 30 days to do it in... 10k/30=333'ish. very very very easy to get, even if all you do is sneak around getting totems and such... The idea some people are missing is 'you play the game'.... why complain about the math, just play the game and you will get it.. this is no grind at all if you enjoy the game, if it feels like a grind... then it might be time to move on.

you can put money in and get a bonus that you would have otherwise needed to grind to get you are literally paying to not grind i very much consider that P2W.

With the event i was just spitballing but i dont see how having a player team be the bounty is out of the question i think that would be fun as hell like your team spawns in an area and told hunker down and dig in and be given a ton of traps and stuff they already have this partially in the wellspring mode

Thing is, your not winning anything over anyone else... just time, time that you would of used up anyway if you enjoyed the game enough to play. So in reality, your just donating money to support Crytek.

As for the bounty, i'm sorry I was seeing it on the 'hunt' mode side of things... as its own different game mode. Dude, that could work very well. Hunt would do good to have another mode or 2.

I personally think pay for conveniance and P2W are the same but its samantics at that point.

Also another event idea just spawn a few groups in a location and have hoards of stuff try and attack the place and you need to defense the a wellspring or something ending in one of the bosses. Make it like a wave based thing i think that would be awesome for a new gamemode.
