Event is rated 3.7/10, because...
-No witches
-No garden. Where is the garden? The trailer showed something new, it looked cool. Even in the menue theres is a "new", cool looking barn, a new building. I feel scammed to be honest.
-Why did they name the event Garden of the witch??? Wtf. Its totally senseless.
-No Fixes of the UI
-They could have named it "The Poo of Winnieh"-Event, it would have been the same
-They could make the one "special" Supply-Point something garden or witch themed, but nothing? Only the normal supply point.
-No DeSalle
-No pacts or troupes or similar. No specialisation.
-No new traits. Only old, already seen traits.
-No new weapons. Only variants. Why should i take a 3 slot Mosin Obrez when i can take the big sisters, mighty Mosin Nagant? I dont get it?!?
-No UI fixes.
-No new boss or wild target, similar to Ursa mortis. Why no witch with protects the big supply point or something.
-No DeSalle
-Same Event point system (kill hive, get 2 points) since years. Come on Crytek, thats all?

I dont know if they fixed the MMR matchmaking or cheater problem. I only played 4 matches

Seriously, how would you guys rate this event out of a 10. Please tell.

For me its very disappointing, gets 3.7/10 because i liked the event trailer.

I don't understand why they teased all the UI, menu, and UX improvements but didn't include them. Event is still 8/10 because the revive bolt is gone. Everything else is just a win. I also like the 100% chance of wild target on single boss.

I think Desalle would have saved it. Without Desalle, they really should have done something... like a mini witch boss at the cart like you mentioned. Or just make that POI super garden themed. Not even really a compound, just a unique area. But oh well. An event is better than no event and I do expect Desalle to show up after the event to make the downtime before the next event less boring.

Totally my opinion.

But no DeSalle and no themed POI or new traits or ANYTHING instead of some random skins, thats really weak.

I would forgive them for this event if new enemies like witches appeared. NPC enemy who could curse from a distance and after death she would dissolve into crows. (example from the game PAINKILLER)

That is the definition of uncritical. And stupid.
Hot take:

You only feel like this event sucks (it's the same as every other Hunt even in history barring a couple)... because The Post Malone event was so good.


I know noone is going to agree with me but the Post Malone event was one of the better events in Hunts history from a content, theme and quality stand-point. It's one of the few events that I was entertained by. I'd love to see a recurring yearly Post Malone event where it's just oddball circus level ♥♥♥♥ and it's always on April 1.

This current event FEELS LIKE ♥♥♥♥ because it's like being the guy who comes up to bat after Barry Bonds just smashed his 72nd homerun. It's like... meh... nothing that next guy can do is better than that.

This event is a throw-away because there is no way to be better than the last event so they chucked some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out... it's the same reason why they refund you almost all of your battle pass blood bonds throughout the event... they know it's ♥♥♥♥ but what are they going to do?
The event really needed DeSalle. Without that no event would make us happy, no matter how good. We need our maps and content back that we had on the old engine.

Well it's not really an "event" is it, especially coming after the hype of Post.

It's a QoL patch, hopefully, with some skins attached and variants no one needed.

They made an error in calling it an event.

Not really. There were no UI improvements. Not sure how many bugs they fixed because I am too lazy to read the patch notes. And they introduced a new bug where the game can bug out and combine your team with another and put you in a team of 5 confirmed and possibly 6. Who knows, maybe it will make the entire lobby into one team. Yes revive bolts are gone but I can't really think of anything else needed that this patch delivers on.
I wouldn't even call this an event, it's really meh. I also don't understand why they bothered having blademancer as a special trait when it's trash now. With no pullout damage it should just be a regular trait tbh. Also feels like the throwing knives got nerfed in general so blademancer + throwing knives is garbage.

Of the insane amount of bugs and issues present that bother me, the only one that seems to have been fixed was being able to tag ammo boxes (tools) if they have a skin. Which should have been patched a long long time ago anyway.

If I crash at any point and rejoin a match, even the start of match crashes, I still can't use team chat the entire match, only the open prox chat which is dumb, specially for voice since it appears to still be bugged that your teammates can't hear you talk in the open chat.
