I love the game, but yes, it's time for some actual new content.

The "forest fire" was a nice distraction, but it's time.

Yep, low effort, maximum gain.

dont forget new enemy types.. like a tank with concertina :P

.....

nah for real: you for soure cant forget the events! thats straight unfair!

but yeaah.. i think its funny.. people always act like they are this little studio and already do theire best (they dont tho. not at all)

and i get it a bit.. cause the game itself is almost perfect.

(btw there are 2 new maps. one was new pretty much (half a year?) after the begining)

but come on.. crytek could do so much more!

- FIX THE GOD DANG SERVERS !!!
- MORE REALLY NEW SPECIAL MONSTERS LIKE IN LEFT 4 DEAD 2
- PATROLLING SPECIAL-BOSSES, NOT NECESSARY FOR WINNING BUT STILL SPOOOOKY SCARY. I already wrote about that.. They could change the area.. Like a giant dune-worm who makes huge earthwalls.. Or a giant troll-like creature, who troughs rocks and trees. to change the map. people always tell me "that doesnt fit the game". WHAT? Yeah it does.. You just have to design it the right way. Just put some gore effects and zombie-ness on it. After you killed them you should get big benefits. Also it should be hard to flee from them and make all teams come there, so to make it more interesting.

BUUUT ONE OF THE BEST THINGS: FINALLY SOME ITEMS COULD HAVE SOME USAGES! Like the Noise-Throwing-Things for the "Troll" to confuse him or the burning lights to throw in the mouth of the Worm so he goes aways and you can run away
- MORE WEATHEREFFECTS / WEATHER THAT HAS A HUGE INFLUENCE ON THE GAMEPLAY AND MONSTERS. Things that change in Maps (Connected to Weathereffects, like Floods, Fire like from the Event and so on..)
- Special Monster Types for EVERY Monster, not only the Tank
- More crazy special Items like the drone. Sure.. Try to walk the thin line between okay and "too crazy". But its a god dang zombie game... What can go wrong anyways..
- Make sound so you better hear where a zombie or a human is coming from, even without paying 2.000 for a perfect headphone, that breaks after 2 days anyways ;)

====================================

And then also stuff they do well and should keep doing well:

The last event was fantastic! Let them all be as good as that!

====================================

Theres really not THAT much to change.. Im not even sure with a fourth map.. Or why we exactly would need a fifth normal boss.. The maps already take way to long to learn for a noob! Im Level 500 now and just now im understanding them pretty much perfectly (To be fair: I had a 3 Year break after playing 150 hours) cause.. internet... servers... DID I MENTION "FIX THE SERVERS!!!" YET?

====================================

MAKE FAIR PRICES FOR THE ADDONS! Yes im the stupid one who bought them.

But again... Just think about it.. 2 Skins for 15€. One Skin and 2 HORRIBLY BAD gun skins for 15€.

It. doesnt. make. sense. And this will probably be the last game i accept this. Im done with that..

Bro.. New games have HUNDREDS of new character models, call of duty got HUNDREDS OF textures and most new shooters got around 30 GUNS AT LEAST! some even 50+ or 100+ WHY WOULD I PAY FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COLOUR OF THE SAME GUN FOR !0€? :cta_emo7:

====================================

Btw im not raging.. I just want to make a point.. Just writing big to make that point! ;) Im already boycotting EA/Activision/Ubisoft and Israel since 12+ years. Im starting to get to a point where im done with the cosmetics too... At least as long as they are that expensive. Make a Model 3€ or MAYBE 5€ if there are one or two gun-model with it.

Im startting to feel "boring" (or rather) NORMAL looking weapons look better and way cooler.. Like in CS:GO!

====================================

Well.. I also wouldnt be against a new map and a new boss tho..
But how about cutting trees with an axe? To change the map? Burning grass so nobody can hide? That would be pretty dank also..

====================================

BTW: Im a Game Designer. So just some of my ideas here..

But again: Props! Crytek made a FANTASTIC GAME! AND RIGHT NOW.. ITS ALMOST PERFECT!

Remember the times where you couldnt really get flames out when your teamm8 was burning? yeah.. im glad these days are over.. And i understand why poeple raged about this behavourl Now its fair.

Generally speaking.. Lets be real guys.. With all the criticism.. Hunt is a pretty badass game! A "once in a lifetime" kind of game for sure! And i hope it will survive another 10 years AT LEAST!!!11

I think they added 2 bosses.
But you are right the unholy number of DLC´s is terrible.
At least they aren´t needed to play and i wish their sales contribute to the game being longer supported.

yep. the assassin was new too. you can actually see it in the original trailer.. where you only see the spider and the butcher for a short amount of time. same with the maps. in the beginning there was only one map. granted: it changed quite quickly. but still.. does anyone remember what the first one was btw!?

Riiight, because maps and bosses make this game.

Not the weapons, tools, consumables, traits, custom ammo...

And in early access we didn't even have anything to loot on the map (medkits, cashbags, toolboxes, traits, envelopes, random weapons and consumables).

What didn't exist back then:
scopes, crossbows, silencers, choke bombs, red skull revive, red clue and boss mechanics, trios, no looting or taking enemies weapons, Lawson Delta or Desalle, skill-based matchmaking, immolator, assassin, scrapbeak, many many traits (serpent, lightfoot, vulture, silent killer, necromancer, pitcher, gator legs...), gunslinger control scheme, ping markers, kill view, death screen, many weapons (officer, dolch, scottfield, berthier, bow, lebel, centennial, krag, slate, terminus, crossbows...), dark sight boost, quickplay, daily and weekly chalanges, questlines. We didn't even had events back then. And those are just the things I remember.

But don't get me wrong. I would also like a new map and a new boss. Just don't pretend that the game hasn't changed in 5 years.

for me if they were to add a new map id just be like so what? new area to fight in cool and all but thatl get stale real quick anyways

and i genuinly dont even care for the bosses, they do be cool and all but its such an annoyance to fight, Especially the assasin cannot tell you how meany times he just runs round an entire large structure between 1st and 2nd floor as i just want to fight him but i cant because he keeps moving across the damn place (running up and down stairs like 3 times)

its hard to enhance a games experience when the game is already in near perfect pvp anyways and the pve overall is not that bad

even weapons will start to become pointless filler no wonder they've resorted to cosmeti greed

as for something like the server problems i think its pretty fair to say its more complicated than just the outside prospective but at the same time its really starting to reach the limit here even some updated info about the server situation should've been released by now

2 maps and 2 bosses have been added, special ammo was a big change. New boss should be out this year and hopefully a new map next year.

ure on copium, also the assassin was pre 1.0 does not count my boy

The game is great, devs made a lot of efforts on balancing and gunplay... And i am not totally blaming them, even 2 maps are enought (a thrid one would have been great instead of "enouht") and yeah event are cool (but extremely grindy).

It sum up this game, they made just "enought" when with a little effort it could have been amazing

So OP said 5 years...which would include the Assassin's release in that timeframe, so you're wrong. Also no "copium" here because the developers have stated that there will be a new boss this year. I am hopeful for a new map next year.
So maybe you need to get more informed "boy".
